AN ELASTICITY OF THE
CURRENCY SUPPLY NEEDED

H. NJ. Evans, prominent real estate
dealer and business man of St. Paul,
Minnesota, in writing to his brother.
M. J. Evans, of this city, a day or two
ago, in relation to the monetary stu
alton, makes some very pertinent
suggestions about the means of pre-
venting a repetition of the recent fin
ancial furry. He says:
Bank reserves are large here, and,
although currency Is scarce, every
body seems to be willing to take cash
iers checks, and it Is a good thing to
educate them to do so. as these bank
TOKENS issuing from a responsible
institution-and from many of them
will aid greatly in increasing the elas-
ITCHY Of the currency supply and will
be material help in the prevention
of crisis similar to the one we have
just experienced.
when in China and Japan I OBJ
served that the principal medium of
currency exchange was in the local
banks checks of deposit, and even
silver coins were issued by some OF
the banks for convenience. While
these coins were of the metal recog-
nized as the unit of value in nearly
all of the Asiatic countries they were
called bank tokens and were uni
versally accepted in lieu of the ma
tional currency"

Late amendments to the interstate

NEW YORK BANKS ARE
SHIPPING OUT CURRENCY

Cashier NJ. J. Evans of the Citizens
State bank received letter Monday
from his brother, H. NJ Evans, OF
st. Paul, Minnesota, in which he re-
lates a part of conversation he had
a few days ago with Judge Lusk, the
president of the National German
American bank of that city, and one
of the most prominent financiers in
the northwest, in relation to the none
tary situation in New York City and
other business centers o fthe east.
Judge Lusk had just returned from
a trip to New York and Washington
on a matter connected with an import
ant financial transaction and was in
a position to speak with a good deal
OF assurance on the subject and on
that account, his statements are of
more than ordinary interest and value
at the present juncture of affairs,
when the currency question is so abb
sorbing topic.
Judge Lusk says the storm in Wall
street Is rapidly subsiding and things
fast gravitating towards a normal
condition, which he was convinced,
would soon be reached. He found
among banking men everywhere in
the metropolis feeling of confidence
that the trouble was about over and
that the commerce Of the country
would soon be upon its former pros
porous basis, indeed most Of the bank
ing institutions of New York City, he
asserted, had begun to ship out cur
rency to their country correspondents

NEW RULES ABOUT CARRYING
DOGS on PASSENGER TRAINS

If you own a dog and wish to take
him with you on a railroad trip you
will, after December 1st. be COM
PEELED by the railroad companies to
check the canine as so much baggage
and he will ride in the bGggage car
with the rest Of your luggage.
Not only must his dogship be
checked, but he must bear tag
showing the name and address OF the
owner. After you have attended to
all of these preliminaries IL your dog
weighs more than the maximum al
lowance Of fifty pounds you will have
to dig down in your jeans for excess
baggage on the poor brute. And be-
sides this you will not be permitted
more than two days in the baggage
coach ahead"
These are some OF the new baggage
rules and regulations which were
adopted by representatives of the
Western Passenger Association at a
meeting in Chicago a couple OF weeks
ago and are set down in black and
white in w. P. A. circular No. Isl,
just issued and OF which copies have
been received by Messrs. Garrett and
Maddox, agents respectively Of the
Santa Fe and the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad companies.
They become effective on the LIST
prox.. on all lines and will be en-
forced to the letter. The rules are
entirely new ones, as up to the pres
ent time there has been no set regu-
lations in relation to the carrying Of
dogs by the railroad companies. Can
ines have heretofore held a sort OF an
anomalous position in the baggage
car. having been usually turned over
to the tender mercies OF the baggage
man in charge, who merely "looked

LOCAL CONDITIONS GOOD IN
SPITE OF FINANCIAL FURRY

Notwithstanding the uneasiness that
has prevailed in various parts of
the country, particularly in the east,
for several weeks over the financial
condition, Canon City merchants, as
a rule, report trade as being very good
and collections easy. Some of them
are ahead of last years business, not
ably is this the case of one of the ex-
press companies, the agent of which
informed The Daily Record day or
two ago that the volume of his tran
sactions for October were nearly 20
per cent greater than was the case
for the corresponding month in 1906.
The fact is that Canon City has not
suffered from the unsettled condition
of the money market in proportion to
many other communities. People here
have acted with rare good judgment;
they have been confident all along that
the banks here were upon the sOundest
possible basis and that nothing short
of financial cataclysm could imperil
their stability. Canon City has just
cause to be proud of the management
of her banking institutions and her
people have done we'll not to embarass
them at this particular time, when un-
certainty prevails in business circles.
All of the local banks have assets
far in excess of their liabilities and
each of them would be able to close
up their affairs and have more than
their capital left, so there is no reason
for a moments loss of sleep, or worry
on that account by any of their patrons
This is one of the things that has
contributed materially to the success
of Canon City business men since the
beginning of the financial furry in
Wall street. The thing for people to
do all over the country at this juno
ture of affairs is to place every dollar
they can in the banks. 1t is safer
there than anywhere else and will
assist in easing the situation.

In another case that came before II

whether these rates refer to trans
