HISTORY IF CRISES UNDER
NATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM

tain reserves proportionately greater
than those held in former years.
After lively account of the failure
y. the so-called Morse banks. and the
run upon certain trust companies, it
is declared that but for the powerful
influence of Mr.. j. P. Morgan it is
probable that no united action what
ever would have been taken, and that
ut is certainly an element OF weak
ness in our central money market that
influential credit institutions should
have to be dragooned into doing what
is after all in their own interest as
well as to the general advantage"
When it was decided to issue loan
certificates and to suspend cash pay
ments it was in pursuance of a t-adi-
ton which is an ever present source
OF weakness and which, Professor
Sprague says, can only be broken by
successful endurance by the banks of
the strain of crisis.
The opinion is expressed that there
can be little doubt that the serious
ness of the general economic situation
was greatly exaggerated by observers
in New York. Evidence of this con-
cusion is found in the limited number
Of banking failures which occurred
and the short duration of general bus.
mess depression contrasted with eth
er 1873 or 1898. In the actual man.
agement of the crisis it is argued that
resumption of cash payments was de.
layed unnecessarily and that the ad-
ditional money secured after suspen.
sion served no useful purpose No
where throughout the country was
there any considerable increase in ma
tional bank loans except in New York,
where they increased by $63, 900, 0OO-
from $712,000,000 to $775, 100000. In
every previous period of financial
strain the New York banks had BEEN
able to contract loans somewhat. In
1907 the trust company situation COM
PEELED them to liquidate loans wherev-
er possible and the outside banks fol-
lowed the same course.
One of the lessons drawn by Profess
sor Sprague from the experience Of
national banks is the absence of
liquidness in cali loans Out of a
total loan increase of s63.0OO,0OO, call
loans account for $54,000,0Oo. The

only kind of loan which was reduced
at all was one of the varieties of COM
mercial loan-the time loan on paper
with single individual or firm name.
The opinion is ventured that a New
York bank would be in a better posi-
tion to meet an emergency if all it's
loans were upon commercial paper
than it is under existing circum-
stances, though of course. it would
not then be in position to slide along
just above the. >25 per cent require
ment in normal tines.
In his final conclusions on the les
sons of the crisis, Professor Sprague
declares:
somewhere in the banking system
OF country there should be a re-
serve of lending power, and it should
be found in its central money market.
Ability in New York to increase loans
and to meet the demands of deposit
tors for money would have allayed
every panic since the establishment
OF the national banking system. Pro-
vision for such reserve power may
doubtless be made in number of diff
ferent ways. This investigation will
have served its purpose if, in showing
the causes and consequences of its
absence in the past it brings home to
the reader the need not only of this
reserve power but also of the readi-
ness to use it in future emergencies"

my own thoughts so closely that

from Seal Harbor."
Receiving no response, he lapsed
again into thoughtful silence. Mrs.
K1opton came in just as the clock
struck one, and made preparation for
the night by putting a large gaudy
comfortable into an arm chair in tho
dressing room, with a smaller, stiff
backed chair for her feet. She was
wonderfully attired in a dressing gown
that was reminiscent, in parts, of all
the ones she had given me for half
dozen Christmases, and she had a pur-
pie veil wrapped around her head, to
hide heaven knows what deficiency.
She examined the empty egg-nog
glass, inquired what the evening paper
had said about the weather, and then
stalked into the dressing room, and
preparmed, with much ostentatious
creaking, to sit up all night.

about $50 O'Clock. and had attained
too great Roadway TO be extinguished
by the time the fire department ar

when the fire started turned in the
alarm. The total loss is estimated at
about $4,000. The building was the
property OF Edward Jones, now on
the coast at Catalina Island.
Owing to the dry and inflammable
nature of the materials, the build

Increased by the burning of about
