The chief reserves of foreign banks are the secondary reserves-liquid resources which can be quickly sold or discounted at the central reserve reservoir These sec ondary reserves are largely discounts based on goods soon to be consum- ed. The discounts ae highly liquid. because the consumption of the goods liquidates the loans.
 Our secondary banking reserves are chiefly call loans on investment recurities. A great mass of these ans cannot be liquidated without creating a stock exchange panic. And the very fact that the central re- serve banks of New York must create a mass of stock eXchangeloans for lack of any other large secondary re- serve basis, in itself unduly promotes spectators in investment securities to the detriment of productive in- dustry.

 Our many reserve system has brok- en down under every great strain.

 Our many-reserve system forces New York to assume the position of the keeper of the baic banking reserves, and New York must con tinue to be the banking ruler so long as the system continues
 The country has the choice of al- lowing New York to continue as the

Dispute Over Details.
when I went to Racine, June 30,
1902, to close the deal for an option
on the Milwaukee company, we got
into dispute about the Details" said
the witness. II wanted the COM

officers said the years business was
completed and they refused to let me
have the profits. ] called the deal off
and communicated with Mr.. Daniels of
the Mccormick company, at Chicago,
and told him that the deal had fallen
through.
He told me to get the option, and
I went back and closed the deal on
the basis of equally dividing the
profits of that year"
Witness told Of going to Chicago and
comforting with Cyrus III. Mccormick,
who gave him letters of introduction
to George w. Perkins OF New York.
Later, he said. he received a memoran-
dunn from Harold r. Mccormick au-
thoriZing him to assign to J. P. Nor
gan e Co., or any other persons they
might designate. the option on the
Milwaukee company.
Protected From Damage.
The memorandum stated that Mr..

in the transaction. On the back of the
letter, or memorandum, were a number
of detailed instructions. He was di-
rected to call on George w. Perkins

to him.
Mr.. Middlekauf arrived in New York
June 27, 1902, and turned the option
