TELLS IT IN BILLIONS.
Ridgeiy's Report Shows Deposits
in Banks TotaIing $4,000
63s,34S.
YEARS GAIN IS ss44ooo.ooo.
Central Bank as Remedy for Com
ditions Such as Appeared in
Recent FURRY.

The annual report of Comptroller
Ridgely on the currency situation shows
that individual deposits in all reporting
banks in 1900 aggregated S7.23S, 1856, 45o,
while for the current year individual de-
posts in all reporting banks aggregate
Si3,099, 635,34S, gain of over $780,
100000 within the past seven years, or
20 per cent. During the current year
there has been a gain of approximately
1854, 100000. or 7.23 per cent
Individual deposits, representing over
30 per cent of the banks liabilities, reach
ell the maximum in the history of the sys-
tenn on May 20, 1907, when they amount
ell to S4,322, $50, 141 The amount to the
credit of depositors ON Aug - was S4,-
319,035, 402, decaease of $3,S44, 739.
The gross increase in deposits during the
year was S2a7.965, 436; the gross de-
crease, $171,96S, 344, leaving the net in
crease $119,097,09
According TO the report. the amount of
money held by national and other report
ing banks in the United States exclusive
OF island possessions) on June 80, 1906,
was 010,700,000. About the same date
fol ,ae present year the cash holdings of
the banks of the United States were ST.
1O6,5OO,000, or a gain of $95,SO0000.
The total stock of money in the United
States on June 30. 1906, was $3,069,900-
coo. On July /, 1907, it was reported at
$3,115,600,000, being an increase of $45,-
100000. OF this $40, 100000 gain in the
stock of money during the fiscal year &c.
100000 was added to the amount held in
TIE treasury as assets, leaving a balance
of 6400,000 for general circulation.
The comptroller describes the curren-
cy stringeney as panic not of the people
but of the banks, caused by the bankers
just and proper efforts to protect their
reserves and give currency elasticity in
the unwise absence of a government insti-
tuition able to perform these necessary
functions. He compliments the business
men of the country upon their wisdom,
patience, forbearance and sound conser-
vative sense" under emergency conditions.
That conditions are improving daily
throughout the United States Mr.. Ridge
ly says undoubtedly is true. but he be-
lieves that a more rapid return could be
made to normal conditions should Con-
gress promptly pass relief measure. He
suggests that this action might take the
form of providing for an emergency issue
of currency through the clearing house as
sociations or other banking machinery
now organized. These moves, however,
Comptroller Ridgely classes as simply
temporary expedients He says that they
undoubtedly would act as panic cures"
but that the only way to prevent recur-
renee of recent conditions is to follow the
example of every other civilized nation
and establish a central governmental bank
of issue and reserve. He points out that
a central bank incidentally would give
real practicability to the suggested postal
savings institutions

Denver gets the Democratic National
Convention of next year. July Z is the

ION to the convention hall carried the
day against Louisville which offered

NEW YORK

Cross currents in trade, finance and in
dustry prevent generalization, but finan-
cial conditions generally have shown fur
Their easing, while the approach of the hol-
iday period and more seasonable weather
helped enliven distribution, which in some
sections also feels the stimulus of price
concessions. On the other hand, whole
sale and jobbing trade has rather quieted
and manufacturing industry has slackened
slightly. Collections generally are very
slow, and failures tend to increase in
number.
There is less talk of cancellations,
though there are evidences of these in
many lines. TO offset the possibility of
large stocks accommodating, buyers are
keeping their activities restricted, and this
tendency is also REINFORCED by a fair
volume of resales by jobbers who find sur
plus supplies at hand

Although the volume of business falls
snort OF the normal, there are indications
that point to some recovery. Payments
through the banks reflect n smaller COM
pGratiye decline, commercial defaults run
under those last year, and there are not
only increasing deposits but more rapid
cancellation of emergency checks and re-
newal of discount operations in mercantile
paper.
shipments of currency to the interior
have expanded for the marketing of corn.
and the preparations assure ample funds
to meet heavy January disbursements at
the banks. Settlements on December ma
TURTLES thus far have been made with less
trouble than expected and the small ag-
gregate of extensions sought was the
cause of lessened fear in financial circles.
Quiet conditions prevail in the leading
industries, but seasonable weather brought
improved demand in distributive branches,
and the absorption of winter apparel, food
products and Christmas goods makes a
rapid reduction in stocks. There is also
more activity in the advance buying in
wholesale lines, with better supply of
mail orders for dry goods woolens, eloaks
and suits and boots and shoes.
With the approaching holidays there is
greater tendency TO curtail machinery en-
ployed in factory work. and shut-downs
may be more extended than usual
Receipts of raw materials reflect fur
Their shrinkage, but these are ample for
requirements, and prices have an easier
tendency in pig iron, lumber, leather and
wool, although hides steadied on buying
for eastern consumers.

TRY TO DEFINE EPILEPSY.
Specialists Begin Investigation Of
the Mysterious Malady.


During the next year specialists on
mental and nervous diseases will de-
vote their time and energy to the franz
ing of definition of epilepsy and also
of determining what is its cure. After
many years of treatment of this dis
ease, members of the National Society
for the Study and Treatment of Epi-
lepsy, which recently concluded a con-
vention at Richmond, Va, have found
themselves confronted by a chaotic
state which makes it necessary that
uniform definition of epilepsy be agreed
upon and a uniform cure for it be
found before proceeding farther.
The treatment of epileptic cases is
one phase of the progress being made
toward more humanitarian methods of
treatment of the unfortunate. Until a
few years ago epileptic patients nearly
everywhere in the country were locked
up like so many prisoners, and with
only ordinary medical attendance were
left to exc out an existence according
to their physical ills 1t has now come
to be recognized that epilepsy is dis
ease having a relation to the state of
mind as distinct as any other disease
has to the body. Many causes for the
disease have been ascertained and these
causes have frequently led to confusion
in definition which it is now the plan Of
the specialists to correct.
The convention referred to above was
attended by practically all of the lead
ing specialists of the country, includ-
ing superintendent of hospitals for the
insane, as well as individual physi-
clans who are interested in the work.

HIGH RATES SHUT MILLS.

Witnesses Before Interstate Conn
merce Board Accuse Railroads.
That scores of mills have been compell-
ed to shut down because of excessive rail-
road rates in the Pacific Northwest was
alleged in the interstate commerce lum-
Der inquiry in Washington. Witnesses
testified that they were unable to place
their product on the market east of the
Rocky mountains at profit and that they
could not depend upon the local market in
their territory to provide for them such
market as would enable them to maintain
their business. The line of cross-examina-
ton indicated the purpose of the railroads
to show that the rates were not exorbit-
ant, but really were fair and equitable
compared with the rates given producers
Of manufactured lumber in the so-called
yellow pine district.
