The Commercial National Bank in its

the following to say concerning the new
currency system:
There is no doubt but that this inter
esting experiment in American banking
is being watched with keen interest by
students of banking and finance through
out the world. 1t means such transfer
nation of banking methods here as shall
bring the American system into more or
less conformity with the great central
banking systems of Europe
1t is too early yet for any one to tell
just what the result of these changes
will be. but. speaking broadly. it may
be said that the day is not far off when
as a result of the larger privileges Of
fered by our new currency system. 1t
will he possible for banking institutions
of the United States to branch out for
classes of business which it was never
possible for them to conduct successfully
under the old order of things After the
new system is running smoothly, there is
reason to believe that the larger banks
and trust companies of the United States
will extend their activities into foreign
fields. so that it will be possible for them
to handle a vast amount of the highly
profitable business which Is now being
turned over by American business men
to foreign institutions for the simple rea-
son that. under the present order of
things. there are no American banking
interests established in foreign fields COM
petent to handle such matters.
"One of the most important changes
which will be brought about Immediately
has to do with the rediscount facilities
offered by the new federal reserve banks.
1t Will be of immense advantage for the
$50 Or 5000 banks which have already
allied themselves with the new system
to have bank to apply to for redis
privileges There are number
of problems which have to be worked
out in connection with the establishment
of this new banking system. and. while
il will require some time to effect all
that they will be highly beneficial in the
