IFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Sept. 3.-Uncle Sam, enriched
SoU.oOO.Oco by the provisions of the Aldrich-
Nreeland currency bill, has much money
on hand that he cannot wait for the cOnstruc-

has rented rooms in storage building and
placed relays of guards the inside and out
side This vast amount of money may never be
used. but so large sum is necessary TO supply
the 6.S24 national banking institutions in the
United States in case OF financial stringency.
Deputy Treasurer Bentz reported that the
available cash reserve in the Treasury this
morning was S190.OO0,000, the highest fig
ure 1t has reached this year. He is OF the
opinion that the possibility of a strngency this
year is over, and that the crops can be moved
without the slightest difficulty. Conditions are
vastly different this year" he said. mot only in
New York, but throughout the country. New
York banks have millions and millions of sur

Cling with scarcely the legal requirements.
Money, instead of being In great demand at
high prices, is very easy call at from ;. TO !
per cent. In the West the banks are well sup
piled with currency, and will be able TO do more
than their usual share toward moving the crops.
From every direction signs of increased pros
perity are seen. Small bills IN great demand,
which is always good sign.
