Recent Slump Has Had Effect Of
Reducing Initiation.
WILL NOT EFFECT THE WEST
Chicago Bankers Call Panic on Wall
Street "New York's Affair" and Be-
Iieves Adverse Railroad Legislation
Had Little To Do With II.

CHICAGO, March. 15.-Character-
izing the slump in stocks as New
izin gthe slump in stocks as New
York's affair" and declaring that the
agitation relative to the railroads has
had little to do with the Wall Street
panic, Chicago bankers yesterday as
serted that they are not troubled over
the outlook and that the Chicago and
the Middle West would be in no wise
affected.
There was manifest among the
bankers, with perhaps one or two ex-
ceptions no alarm or misgivings.
The concensus of opinion was that
the rate for money in Chicago, 6 per
cent would not be lifted, that there
are millions in reserve here which can
be utilized, and that the country as
a whole is unusually prosperous.
One other idea of special interest
also was expressed. 1t was that the
East, will do the nation as whole,
good. The local men of finance con-
slider the bottom has bWn reached by
the Wall street slump and that stocks,
instead OF being too low at their new
figures, are gradually approaching a
fair valuation. ..
James H, Eckels, president of the
Commercial National Bank, was one
of the nanciers who looked nthe sit
uation with some pessimism. He said
however that there Is too much agi-
tation, and that the railroads are be-
ing unnecessarily assailei.
James B. Morgan, President Of the
First National Bank, did not go quite
so far, but said that ne felt that the
wave of antagonism against the rail-
roads may have had as much to do
with the stock market slump as any
other single influence.
Other bankers were not of the same
feeling. They claimed stocks had been
steadily tumbling for some weeks, and
that there was the elimination; that 1t
was well to clear the atmosphere oc-
