MONEY ID FLOW IN NATURAL CHANNELS UNDER HE NEW LAW Boston Expects to Gain Much of Prestige That
 Had Been Lost
NEW YORK IS STILL CENTER OF EXCHANGE
This Is Due to Fact That Reputation or New York Exchange Is so Thoroughly Established
 Abroad
By HOLLAND

New York, April 11.-(Special)-A re- mark attributed to the president of the National Shawmutt bank of Boston. in which he is quoted as having said that he has long regarded New England as a commercial, financial and business unit. and for that reason it was appropriet te and inevitable that the New England states be exclusively established as a federal reserve district has been variously and on the whole approvingly comment ed upon in this city. The expectation of the president of the Shawmut bank appears to be that the business which in recent years has been diverted from Boston and the New England district will again con- eentrate in Boston. serving to no small extent to increase the prestige and influ- ence of that city as center of large financing.
 It has, however, been. said coniectur- ally, that if it be true that the six New England states constitute naturally federal reserve district, since New Eng land should be regarded as a unit, then possibly there was some reasonable phi losophy in the attempt of recent railway management to consolidate the railroad systems of New England so that they should also be in unified sympathy with this philosophy.
 The statement attributed to President Gaston undoubtedly reflects the view taken in almost all of the federal reserve districts, as these have been apportioned by the organization committee In the larger financial centers, however, there appears to have been developed already some curiosity respecting the ultimate ef- feet upon banks and banking of the es- tablishment of these 12 federal reserve dis tricts. For it is recognized that the pur-

cago or St. Louis or New York city. A merchant in Salt Lake City would as general rule be unwilling to accept draft drawn upon any other bank than one in Chicago. St. Louis, New York or Boston.
 This kind of banking business which frequently reaches large amounts is re- garded as certain to be retained by the banks in the large financial centers. To- day throughout the business centers of the United States draft on New York is looked upon precisely as in Great Britain draft on London is regarded. Will one of the effects of the new national banking law tend to curtail this business? If it does not, then to a considerable extent banking prestige and influence will re- main in the three or four large financial certers of the United States, and especial ly New York.
 Recently money has nten flowing toward New York in large and rapid currents, There is nothing in the national bank ing act which will limit the ability of banks in other parts of the country to send deposits to New York excepting the difference of treatment of reserves under the new laws from that characteristic of the old national banking law. Money will flow, however, to the great financial centers in obedience to economic law. Min neapols will gather large funds from the northwest under the new law exactly as that metropolis of the northwest has se- cured funds of that kind so greatly in the past as to constitute the city one of the leading financial centers of the United States. In normal times the larger finane- ing of industrial, commercial or railroad propositions will presumably be carried on in New York city in cooperation with Chicago and St. Louis. All of the great industrial mining, agricultural and com mercial undertakings have been described by James ]. Hill as. from one point of view, "banking propositions.' Will the effect of the new national banking law serve to scatter these banking propositions and to decentralize the power and infu- ence of the larger financial centers? That Is question which the future alone can answer. But it is observed that there is no great anxiety on the part of bankers in the larger financial centers lest the new national banking law impair their influence, decrease their business and scatter to other parts banking proposi- tions they have heretofore handled. These bankers are persuaded that if there be decrease of business in one direction that ultimately will be more than made good. Whether or not this belief be correct is 10 be one of the revelations of the future.

 Mi Harrison admitted that the demo- cratic candidate, MT. Gallivan, was op- posed to the President on free tolls. He admitted that the district was over whelmngly opposed to repeal, but he contended that the question of repeal had TO effect in the result, fie pointed out that Gallivan declared that he stood with the administration and praised the Pres ident on every other issue.
 So the question seems to be undeter- mined. Joe Humility admits his disap- pointment at the loss or the New Jersey district, but declares mat it was ex- pected
 Suffragists Cannot Explain
 But the woman suffragsts got the worst end of it. They can draw no consolation from the election in Chicago whatsoever or from any. point of view. Few of the women that could vote took advantage of the franchise. That was disappoint- flag. Those that did apparently voted the way the men wanted them to vote, only more so: that was disappointing. Bath house John overwhelmed his woman re- form opponent for alderman-that was disappointing. The whole thing was dis appointing, and the National Woman Suf- frage association is now trying to think mp some way to explain it. They have not succeeded yet.
 In the meantime the question of repeal of canal tolls rages unabated and un- solved in the Senate. The majority for repeal is very small-at the outside now not over four in that body. The Pres ident may win over others before the final vote, but they are to be won. The vote now is desperately close.

FOREIGN FARMERS
 COMING ID STATE
Colony From Holland and Another From North
 of Italy

The Southern Settlement and Develop ment organization announces that it is in position to begin it's work of placing agricultural settlers on the idle lands of Alabama. The Alabama department of this organization has been notified to get ready to take care of an initial col ony of Dutch farmers, and another from the north of Italy, where no crime has occurred for hundreds of years. These classes have been located In limited num- Der in other portions of the south, and have proven not only successful but splendid citizens. although other sections have taken these more generally and few have been permitted to come into the south.
 In the matter of other settlers, it Is stated that inquiries from the north west and from Canada are coming to the state department now quite liberally. with a fair sprinkling of ndustries as that organization is not eonGning it's ef- forts to settlers and colonies alone but Is seeking out industries which can be placed in the south. and will devote a good portion Of it's energies in that field
 An inquiry came during the past week from Canada for the loe-tion of cream cry at some point in Alabama, and now that the growing of alfalfa is becom- ing large industry, the raising of better cattle is also coming and there will be room for several creameries in Alabama.

HENDERSON-COMER FIGHT PROMISES
 UNIQUE SPECTACLE
Continued from Page Five)


 prior to the issuance of the Seed state- ment-and it required a gallant man to so express himself-Mr Seed was in consultation with J. Craig Smith, MT. Comers son-in Jaw. MT. Seed has said unofficially that the statement did not result from that consultation. Its con text, however, is proof that MT. Seed was not speaking from the depths of his heart, and 1t Is safe to state that he was not bubbling over with Conner en- thusiasm
 MT. Seed has received the congratu- lations of countless people for his man. liness in making his statement-non- committal as it was. For he had con- ducted a bitter campaign against MT. Conner He had repeatedly charged on the stump that MT. Conner was unwor- thy again to be governor. As matter of fact, he had fought Conner direct not Henderson or Kolb. And then Co., mer had attacked Seed He ridiculed Seed at Brent. He ridiculed Seed at Tuscaloosa and Northport. And at Dade- vile, with an open knife grasped in his fingers, he threatened to cut the throat of Seed.
 Mir Seeds statement from any angle anyone might inspect it, was an un- usual statement It will work itself into history.
 People Know Candidates Mr. Henderson has two opportunities. If he puts into effect an equitable freight rate, Conner can complain only in regard to coupons" For 2a cent passenger rates are in ecect. And in re- gard to coupons" when MT. Conner settled with the railroads no provision was made for redemption of "cou- pons" The second opportunity lies in the possibility of attaching to his standard the bulk of the Seed follow ing.
 If he takes advantage of either, his chance is excellent. If he fails, noth- ing can prevent the nomination of Mir. Conner.
 The battle is on. The issues are well known The records of the two are open. The service of the two is his- tory With the temperament of the two the people are familiar. Both are patriots in sense. First of all however, they are ambitious. Both are the candidates of the people-for to the standard of both are attached the people--railroad attorneys, heads of corporations, bosses and bullies. These facts are so apparent that no cry for proof will come from either of the rival camps.

Definite Decision Will Not Re Made Regarding It Until Factory
 Demonstration Arrives

The new husher purchased by the city is doing good work, stated City Commis- sioner Weatherly and Street Commis- sioner Gafford yesterday. It appears to be satisfactory, but pending the arrival of factory demonstrator the city will not close the deal for the purchase.
 The machine Is being operated by inex- perienced men from the street depart ment. and officials state they want to see a factory demonstrator use it before they close the deal. If this fiusher is pur- chased another is to be ordered at once. the two. it is said. being able to flush all of the paved streets of the city as often us they need it.

A Question of the Future

The answer to this question will consti- tute. 1t is believed here, one of the most important of the results of the new bank ing law after it is fully established Ma tional banks in each of the reserve dis tricts which seek rediscounting of thelr commercial paper will be compelled to ask the aid of their regional banks. But 1t is yet to be determined to what extent ap- plication for rediscounting will go. In times of distress these applications will naturally be considerable, but in normal times perhaps not very great.
 But the rediscounting of commercial paper is, relatively speaking, only a small part of the banking business In the large financial centers comparatively few transactions of that kind are reported, and the impression is that under the new law the larger banks in the financial een- ters will not seek rediscounting to any extent except in certain lines, such as cotton warehousing. Each reserve dis trict is likely in the direction of its re- gional bank to reflect the financial and banking atmosphere which has in the past characterized each district. In the money panic of 1907, the discovery was made that in nearly all of the communi- ties in which, hereafter, is to be estab- iished a regional bank those who were then in charge of the clearing house as sociations were disposed to look with almost microscopic vision upon Offernlgs of commercial paper upon which were to be based clearing house certificates. On the other hand, in New York, in Chicago and in St. Louis the clearing house man. agements were disposed to be liberal in accepting commercial paper as security for clearing house certificates The clear ing houses in these cities were acus- toned to large figures. The mention or millions did not frighten these clearing house managers. The clearing house com mittees in those cities were convinced that in those days of panic it was not expe- dient to be too punctilious.
 The result was that after the panic was ended New York Chicago and St. Louis banks found their business increased. New York bank business was greatly in- creased much of this increase coming from bankers who had felt somewhat ag- grieved at the rigidity of the inspections which characterized clearing house man. agements in their home districts or course under the new banking law it would not be possible to turn from the regional bank of any one district to the banks of the larger financial districts when seeking redscounts. But there is a great deal of other banking business which can be influenced unfavorably by the methods adopted by the regional banks.
 Then, again. if a merchant in San Fran cisco or in Des Moines or in Dallas seeks his bank for the purpose of buying a draft upon the east he would be sure to insist that the draft be drawn upon Chi
