TO PROVIDE FUNDS
FOR MOVING CROPS
Sec y Cortelyou's S Plan of
Loans Secured by APP
proved Bonds.
MAKE DEPOSITS
OF FUND WEEKLY
Precaution Taken to Prevent
Spectators From Securing
Advances-Plan Has Ad-
vantages Over Old Plan
to Relieve Money
Scarcity.

NEW YORK. August 23.-Secretary
of the Treasury Cor;elyou to-day an
nounced new plan of depositing gov
ernment funds in New York, Boston
and other cities to afford relief to the
money market in the approaching crop
moving period.
The plan is new to the financial
world. and one which tho Secretary
believes will prove more efilcacious
than the old method of the Treasury
Department in waiting until tho coun-
try was severely shaken financially,
and then coming to the relief at the
last moment by placing a large depos-
1t of government funds in New York
banks.
Secretary cortelyou did not state
how much money he would deposit
each week. though lie indicated that
1t would equal the situation's demands.
beginning with next week, the
Treasury Department. will make each
week for period of not less than
five weeks deposits in national banks
at New York. Boston and other points.
the security required to, be approved
State. municipal and railroad bonds
acceptable under the existing require
ments of the department, with the
understanding that If called for. such
deposits shall be returned after jan
uary 1st next in instalments to be
fixed by the Secretary of the Treas-
ury. This action is believed to be
preferable to waiting until time OF
acute stringency, when the only al
tentative would be large general
deposit, The latter policy the secre-
tary desires to supersede by one which
shall have as Its ultimate object the
adjustment of the operations of the
Treasury Department as rapidly as
may be practicable under existing
law. in such manner as shall preclude
their being in any sense a disturb
| ing factor in the business world
TO Eliminate Spectators.
Secretary corteiyou believes that by
not announcing in advance the amounts
Ito be deposited he will prevent specu-5
lators from taking advantage OF the
Isituation and obtaining money which
lhe believes should go into other chan
nels
| In adopting this plan. the secretary
gave careful consideration to the ques-
ton of gold exports. and he is of the
| opinion that the present measure OF
relief will do much to prevent move
| ment of gold to Europe. In previous
years the sudden outpour of money
from the national treasury when a
crop moving stringency was absorb
ling all available funds, produced a
sharp relief and made gold export
movement possible by the very violence
