New York, August Especial. 1.-THE
Secretary of the Treasury, William G. Nc
Adoo. began the statement which con-
tanned the announcement of his purpose to
deposit large sums of government money
In banks of the south and of the west To-
Gated in the vicinity of the harvesting op-
erations by saying that he did this for
the purpose of facilitating the movement
and marketing of unusually large crops.
Some of these crops are already ganered
or about to be reaped
Secretary McAdoo must have had in
formation either from the government bu-
reau which is occupied with gathering
crop statistics or from personal COM
munication received directly or Indirectly
from all parts of the country Otherwise
he would not have stated in such an un-
qualified manner that the crops this year
are to be unusually large. His infor-
nation is in accord with that which has
been received in this city for some time.
II was supplemented by statement made
by James j. Hill that the crops of the
northwest are to be at least of average
quantity and quality. But average crops
of the northwest are in quantity enormous
and in quality excellent.
The secretary was also supported by a
statement made by Senator Tillman of
South Carolina, who asserted that unless

Market Will Be Concerned
With Texas Conditions
This Week

New. Orleans August 10.--This week
the cotton market will be chiefly con-
-cerned with the weather In Texas and
Oklahoma. II drouthy conditions to pre-
vail alarm is bound to be felt over the
outcome of the crop in that section of the
belt which, this season, is more inn
portant than ever because of the large
acreage planted From the first of the
year the bearish element in the future
markets of the world has figured on a
large crop in the west and to disappoint
these expectations means heavy short
coverings. 1t is doubtful If the western
belt can go without good rains much
longer without experiencing severe crop
damage. ~
Probably not much attention will be
paid to the eastern belt. as nearly all
states in ii have had sufficient rain for
the time being, and are sending in en-
couraging crcp reports.
If these reports improve they may,
TO some extent balance unfavorable news
from the west. 1t is a certainty, how
ever. that continued fair weather West
of the Mississippi river will cause buy
ing. Anything like general, soaking rains
wouldr probably result in sensational
break. i,e
The movement of new cotton will be
watched very closely this week, as there
are signs that the August movement will
not be up to expectations. Bears con-
tend that there is no strong spot de-

Seeking Advice

There is one feature of Secretary Me-
ADDE'S statement which is made coincident
| in point of time with the announcement
that the banking and currency committee
l.of the lower house of Congress has ac-
cepted an amendment to the currency bill
which, If it becomes part of the law, will
create an advisory board made up of
bankers who are to cooperate with the
| federal reserve board to the extent only
| of giving counsel to that board.
/ Secretary McAdoo stated that CONNER
cial paper as security for deposits of gov
ernment money with the national banks
will not be considered by the treasury de-
partment until it has first been examined
and coufhersigned with the word zap

accepted by the Secretary of the Treasury

plan upon which is based the proposition
that an advisory board of bankers who

when called upon, giving information that

commercial paper as a part of the security

and the amendment to the currency bill

tne extensive promotion of mergers and
great combinations. Governor Shaw had
in the treasury many millions of idI,
funds. Yet he was somewhat hampereo
by what was thought to be vagueness OF
the federal statutes which purported to
qeiine his discretionary powers. His pred
ecessors in the treasury department had
placed money upon deposits with banks
but were always careful to announce that
the security of~these deposits must be
government bonds.
Governor Shaw made >up his mind that
the people would approve his action even
though II seemed TO be a stretch of his
discretionary powers if thereby millions
OF idle government money could be con-
ventently placed upon deposits of national
banks. He took the bolder step of accept
ing other security than government bonds
and the event proved that the aid he gave
at that time served greatly to ease money
market conditions. The criticism which
Governor Shaw expected came in abund-
ance. In the New York Chamber of Com
merce, one of the worlds greatest interna-
tional bankers made a speech severely
criticising the secretary for his action

dangerous consequences. -s,.,sss .s-s-s-f b
