BANKING POWER IN NEW YORK.
AND LONDON.

Some Interesting facts bearing on
the banking facilities of New York
and London have been brought to-
gether by w. r. lawson. the English
financial writer, and supplemented
by the Wall Street Journal. which
show how nearly New York has
come to approach the position of the
financial capital OF the world.
There are twelve London banks
with combined resources of $2.721,-
100000, and enough other banks to
bring the total resources up to 49,
500,000,000
The twelve leading New York
banks have combined resources Of
only 1892, 100000, but the other
banks OF the city bring up the total
to $3,165, 900, 600 The New York bank
and trust companies number 151. and
the London institutions 100. while
the total London resources are, 1t ap-
pears, only about 10 per cent larger
than the New York resources -.
In the size OF the leading banks
London shows much greater concen-
trntlon. The largest New York bank,
the National City, Is given $233,-
100000 total resources, but there
are six London banks that are
larger than that, and, indeed, the
smallest of the twelve London banks
on the list is larger than all but five
OF the leading New York banks
Eighty per cent of the banking re-
sources of London is represented by
twelve of its largest banks, while on
ly 40 per cent Of the New York re-
sources is found in New York's
twelve largest banks. The reserve
money in London Is held almost en-
tirely in the Bank of England, which
has $145, ,000. 900 in gold. AS against
this the New York banks have $241.-
100000 of gold. and total of$3O9.-
100000 of cash. This. the Wall
Street Journal thinks. puts New
York far In the lead. 1t does, as far
as figures go, but one other factor
must also be taken into account, and
that is the way in which the reserve
is handled New York cannot boast
of its methods, nor OF any safety II
gains proportionate to it's huge casl
reserves.
The London system can hardly be
given the lower place on the showing
of figures alone. Indeed. in2smuch
as 1t Is more economical of specie, ii
Is entitled to the higher place, and
until New York improves its methods
1t cannot boast of strength proper
tionate to its cash.

After careful inquiry on the
the ground. the Interstate Commerce
commission has found that the prin-
cipal cause of the car shortage at
the big centers OF the West is too
much prosperity. Says Franklin j.
Lane. who was chairman of the in
vestigating committee, in his report
to the full commission: "The real
cause of the coal scarcity in North
Dakota was such an abundance of
west-bound traffice at the head of
the lakes that cars were not avail.
able In the congested condition of
that terminal to carry coal to North
Dakota" A similar Judgment is
passed on the coal scarcity and other
embarrassments at other points In
the West.
