President Edward +. Metcalf, OF the
Atlantic National bank. told an audience
at Y. NJ. c. A. hall last evening that the
recent financial trouble In New York has
been brought about by tho determination
Of some OF the leading fnanciers to get
certain men out of the banking business
and that I'm doing this they had nearly
gotten everybody else out. They started
out to clear the atmosphere, and by the
time they got through" he said, there
was very little atmosphere left" The
banking institutions here. he said, are
stronger than ever in their reserves
Mr. Metcalf spoke "The Present
Financial Situation" and he said that the
runs which were begun here were not
called for. Had they continued" he said.
none OF the institutions could have stood
up under tho severe strain. There were
not enough reserve funds on hand at the
time
The panic-stricaxen depositors did not
realize that the banks had invested the
funds left with them that they might
earn the interest which was to be paid
10 the depodtors, as well to the profits
which were TO accrue to the stockhold-
ers."
AS TO trust companies. he said the peo-
pie In this city had been very fortunate

this is the greatest shame and that Il is

Mr.. Batonyi asserted that Mr. and Mrs.

NEW ENGLAND BANKERS
ARE MUCH PLEASED

Boston, Nov i9.--Leading bank officials
of New England expressed general APP
proval of the latest steps taken by the
treasury department TO relieve the finan-
cial stringency. The issue of Panama
bonds was commented on favorably but
bankers were less ready to discuss the
probable effect Of the issue of government
certificates of Indebtedness. 1t is the
general opinion, among New England
bankers. that the circulation of currency
will be considerably increased as a result
OF the action of the treasury department.
Vice President Francis B. Sears of the
National Shawmut bank OF this city said
that the issue of $5O,0O0Oc0 of Panama
bonds. he believed. met with the approval
OF Boston bankers. but he considered the
issue of 800, 100000 government certif-
Gates OF Indebtedness somewhat prob
lematical

of currency will be very desirable at this

Carroll s. Page. president OF the La
noble County National bank of Hyde
Park, VT. expressed his approval of the
issue of Panama bonds and said that
his bank had taken it's full allotment. lie
believed that the action OF the govern
ment would have the anticipated effect of
turning money from the safe deposit
companies into circulation.
Former Governor Frederick Robbie.
president OF the First National bank of
Portland, Me. said "It seems to me
that the government has taken hold of
this matter I'm the proper way. Ii is un-
doubtedly the most expeditions method of
relieving the situation. | think that the
directors OF the banks OF Portland will
no doubt avail themselves OF every OPP
portunity that the government may offer
to aid in increasing the circulation of
money"
