New York. oct. 2s.--The crisis in New York financial circles was safely passed tonight After prolonged con- ferences at J. P. Morgan's ofice an organization of the presidents of New York trust companies was effected not different in principle from the Clear ing House Association. It was in the nature of d protective combination. All the leading and admitterly conserva- tive trust companies participated.
 John A. Stewart. Chairman of the Hoard of the United States Trust Com pany, presided and was elected Chair man of committee whose duties are to be analogous to those of the Clear ing House Committee. A resolution was unanimously adopted providing for an examination of the various banks and a report of their funds and recom- mendations to the association.
 Following this organization which was regarded as one of the most tm- portant adjustments ever successfully carried through in New York financial circles. a report was made to the com nittee tonight respecting the investi- gation into the affairs of the Trust Company of America. This report was carefully considered in prolonged eonference of the committee and 1t was apparent that the trust company lad ample securities to warrant com tinned advances. As a result the com panies Of New York unanimously agreed to come to the aid of the Trust Company of America by providing asich funds as 1t needs There is no reason to doubt, therefore, that the Trust Company 0f Amaficm win be ahis to meet all demands made upon it
 At the same lime. and even mora irnv i.s Al. having satisfied himself as to the cDh1 ditIon of the New York hanks, author ized an announcement that he had d. rected that government deposits be placed in the banks of the city to the extent of s25. 1000, 900 Stomorrow.
 These two measures are admitt sdIy adequate for all the needs of the banS~ ing apd trust corporations of New York in the present emergency. JOHN D. WILL GO TO ff LIMIT OF RESOURCES,
 New York, Oct. 23.--John O Rocke- feller has taken an active interest in the present financial situation and he has arranged to loan very large sums to number of New York financial in- stttutions.
 T think.p said MT. Rockefeller to a representative of the Associated Press this evening. that the existing alarm among investors Is not warranted. and Iehope the good common sense Of our American people will control the situa- ti ion.
 'Personally have absolute faith In the future of the values of our securl- ties and the soundness of underlying conditions
 Instead of withdrawing any of my moneys from the banks. am cooper ating with others in helping to meet that which firmly believe to be only a temporary crisis. Every one having the good of his country at heart should. re-estabIish confidence. and propose to do my part to the full extent of my resources"
