FINANCIAL CRISIS PASSED
Comptroller Ridley Reviews Condi-
tons for the Year Just Closing,
Saying That the World Has
Been Overtrading and
Expending.

, WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-W. B.
Ridgley, comptroller Of the currency,
today gave out a statement dealing
largely with financial conditions dur
ing the year 1907, in which he says
that the conditions which made this
crisis possible are the accumulated
composite results Of many years OF
business. The whole world has been
overtrading and expanding and no
where has it been more rampant than
in the United States. The reaction
was inevitable and, though it might
not have taken the form Of bank
panic, had we been better prepared
with such banking and currency
system as we should have, the time
mas come whesl some or all must pay
for our overindulgence.
"It is the duty Of the banks" says
the comptroller, ITO restore busl-
ness to normal conditions by resum-
ing their functions as promptly and
as fully as possible. Fortunately
there is not only the strongest desire
and disposition on the part Of the
banks to do this but conditions are
such as to make it comparatively
easy, and to lead US to expect a much
more prompt recovery than has fol-
lowed other similar financial crises.
''The reports Of the comptroller
show that the reserves in the CEN
tral reserve cities were but 22.2 per
cent. against the legal requirement
Of 25 per cent. The 40 reserve cities
show 24.72 per cent. Of legal reserve,
or almost the full legal minimum,
while their total cash means are
26.55 per cent. Of their deposits. Ut
the 40 cities, 81 show legal reserves
above 25 per cent, while 10 OF them
show over 80 per cent. Of legal re-
serve and all but eight Of tnem show
more than 25 per cent. Of total cash
means The largest reserves are
in the Texas cities; Galveston and
San Antonio showing over 3S per cent
Of legal reserve and Galveston over
4s per cent. of total cash means.
HTnere is not one state which
does not show an excess OF reserve
