of foreign trade
The new banking and currency act
permits national banks to establish
foreign branches. 1t is expected that
these institutions will follow the
trade of the United States with South
America and that American exporters
and importers will not be dependent
hereafter on German and English
banks. 1t has been estimated that
English banks now derive $4,000, 900
a year from the transaction Of Amer
lean business with Latin American
countries.
The characteristic feature of the

Mr.. Scully said also that there was
more ready money and less depres-
