AN ovEReRowN SITUATION.

From Kansas City Times.
every financial and business cri-
sis that the modern world mas expe-
rienced can be traced to about the
same sort of fundamental causes, and
yet each one has had certain features
that distinguish it from the Others"
said a student of financial conditions
recently. The crisis through which
New York is 20 passing, with more
or less of a ~radiating and sentimental
effect on the rest of the country and
the world, is unique because it has
suddenly come at a time when every
facility of trade is taxed to its utmost
in the transaction of the enormous
volume of business that the country
is doing. Railroads cannot furnish
cars and engines enough to promptly
haul the products of the farm to mar
ket, n distribute the merchandise
that the country, in its prosperity, is
requiring for its manifold domestic
needs, inc construction operations.
The banks, like the railroads, find
their facilities taxed to take care of
the credit and exchange operations
involved in the great internal I for
eign traffic of the country.
This great trade is reflected in the
bank ~clearings, which are about
three times what they were ten years
ago. The value of the farm products
of the United States this year is
greater than in any preceding year.
The output of iron for the year 19O7
is three times What it was ten years
ago. Nearly every other industry has
expanded in proportion. So great, in
fact, has been the expansion of trade
and industry that it has been evident

advertising by means of stereopticon
views. You can see the alfalfa grow
and the apples being picked, artesian
wells flowing, and h bitches full of
water. This is a novel way the people
of the Pecos Valley and the Santa
Fe railroad have of showing tae PEG
pie what the Pecos Valley will pro-
duce.
Foltz gives a lecture. He impresses
the crowd with a vivid exposition of
the superiority Of farming under irri-
cation, which produces larger crops
of better quality than can be raised
By natural means. He gives views in
and around Roswell which show the
results of irrigation.
There are two great government ir-
rigationf projects, the Hond and the
Carlsbad shown in all their immensi-
ty. The former will supply 10000 ac-
res and the latter 10000 acres. A
graphic and entertaining recital of
the advantages of pursuing agriculture
in his wonderful region; pictures
showing how irrigation is done; how
the immense crops are harvested, n
what irrigation can do and has done.
He also gives views of the cities of
Portales and Texico, the business cen
tiers of successful dry farming dis
tricts. Their growth coincide1t with
the development of the Pecos Valley
demonstrates the practical value of
an unusual theory. What others have
done. you can do, and profiting from
their experience, probably do it better.

for a year or more that a slowing
ry and desirable. until the facilities
for doing business. could be adjusted
to the volume of business.
1t is the very fact that the volume
of business is so large which has
made it so difficult t handle the sit
uation which has suddenly developed
in the East. The New York banks
have been doing business for years
with cash reserves barely sufficient
to conform to legal requirements. The
great volume of business and specu-
lation combined have kept all their
resources in use. They have had no
margin to allow for emergencies. Ev-
cry fall they have experienced more
or less stringency in money inciden-
tai to the marketing of the crops.
This year, as usual, they nave made
no provision for the extra fall demand
for currency. Now they find them
selves confronted not only with the
western demands for currency-a le-
ultimate demand due to the payments
which the East and Europe have to
make for western products-but also
with a scare at home among New
York people who have los faith in
some of the banks with which they
do business, and in consequence are
drawing their money out of these in
stitutions. Many million dollars nave
been thus pulled out of New York
banks and put away in safety depos-
it vaults or hidden in some other way
by the people who became alarmed.
Probably not less han fifty millions
in cash has thus been withdrawn
from New York banks in the past
week and put where it could do no
good as a circulating medium.
What was the reason for the sud
den awakening of alarm among h
New York people who I've thus been
Withdrawing their money from the
banks? The motives of a mob and of
a crowd stricken with panic are diff
cult to analyze, but there seems to
be no doubt that the accounts of dis
reputable practices of certain rich
managers of banks and corporations
precipitated the trouble. The looting
of the traction companies of New
York, the exploits of the group of
men who last week and week before
were driven out of a string of New
York banks, and similar exposures
are the things hat started New
York's troubles.
The indications on Saturday were
that the drain on the cash resources
of the New Yor banks has been re-
duced sufficiently to enable the banks
to take care of the situation this
week and s~traighte1 out the tangle
into which they nave suddenly been
thrown.
One thing which has impaired the
power OF the New York banks is the
fact that western bankers nave not
liked certain New York banking me-
thods and for years have been dimin-
fishing their balances at that center,
carrying only enough there to take
care of the drafts drawn from day to
day.
Regarding the stability of the big
New York banks, the soundness of
their assets and their resourcefulness
for getting out of tight places, there
can be no question:, and with the
strongest financiers in the country,
backed by the treasury department of
the United States, at work on the
problem, there is every reason to be-
lieve that they will be able to clear
up the situation and restore normal
conditions
