Were Glad to

Others besides retail merchants OF
the city were glad yesterday to see the
clouds break away and the bright sun
come through. In fact. there probably
was not q soul in the city who did
not welcome the sight Of Old Sol. It
takes very few y, the miserable, slop-
py days like Sunday. at any time OF
the year. to satisfy the average mortal.
But when these kind of days come so
close to Christmas as to interfere with
shopping and threaten the good wealth.
or which everyone hopes will reign on
Christmas, 1t takes but about one of
them to bring> gloom and disappoint-
ment to many. According to weather
prophets, 1t is likely to stay clear for
several days now, as the clouds lifted
during the day. II 1t clears off at
night, It Is said, conditions will not
remain SO. for longer than three days.

DRINK TO GERMAN ARMS
Teutons Here Uphold Kaiser,
but Deplore War.

When word of the declaration OF
war by Germany on Russia was re-
ceived at the German Club, 112 Central
Park South, last night many well
known Germans of the city gathered
and drank toasts to the health of the
Kaiser and the success of the German
forces.
Little or no enthusiasm was dis
played, one member remarking that
war was the last thing wished for by
the German Americans. The same per-
son also said that it was the opinion
of the entire membership of the Ger
man Club that war would hurt the
German Empire and tend to destroy
the commercial interests.
II was remarked by some of the mem
bers that the coming war would be
short one, as all of the countries in
volved were equipped with the latest
military machinery, which would make
the horrors of war ten times greater
than any preceding contests. The con-
sensus of sentiment at the club was to
uphold the honor of the empire.

ready to meet any eventusliues that
may arise"
Advantage of the Aldrich.Vreeland
act, which was passed in 1908 and re-
enacted by the Federal Reserve act,
has never been taken by the banks
until now. The act was passed pend
ing more deliberate measures for the
m odernization of the currency system
through the work of the National
Monetary Commission, which provided
for the formation of Nationcl Currency
Associations by national banks for the
purpose of rendering available under
the direction and control of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, as basis for ad-
ditional circulation, an securities, IN
GLIDING commercial paper, held by a
national bank. This includes bonds OF
all kinds, but not stock, which national
banks are not authorized to owns
Condition Cannot Last.
A. Barton Hepburn. chairman Of the
Chase National Bank. said that the
emergency currency, which is beng
sought by the national banks Will get
into circulation just as the ordinary
currency does. II will be distinguished
from other bank notes. he asserted,
only by the fact that 1t will not be
secured by government bonds, and, OF
course. there will no surface lndlca-
ton of this difference. On the present
situation resulting from the European
Developments Mr.. Hepburn said:
international business is IN state
Of absolute paralysis, but this condition
cannot last. The ferry across the AT.
lantic has stopped, but the needs. OF
Furope will soon remedy that situation.
Ships will positively have TO be tound
TO carry our goods across the ocean.
The UNPRECEDENTED exports of gold
abroad during the last week, with the
resultant serious impairment OF TIE
oosb positiou of the leading banks IN
the financial district, was revealed yes
terdav in the weekly statement Of the
New York Clearing House, showing
the condition of its members. For the
first time since December z, 19l2, the
member banks reported dehclt IN
their cash holdings.
The total deficit was ST., 425,loO be-
low the legal requirements, the largest
since December %, 1907, when the re-
serves of the New York banks had
fallen far below normal figures. The
largest shortage ever recorded at the
Clearing House was $54,1O3,6OO on No
vember % of the panic year. The aver
age surplus of the banks is now only
S.. 500 $50. compared with S29,o3O,80O

BANKERS FEAR GOLD
MAY co TO PREMIUM

Street, looking 20 drive extortionate
bargains. New ST.. back of the Stock
Exchange, was taken as their head
quarters, and they were offering to pay
such prices yesterday as it was thought
their prospective victims need or anXi-
ETY. might compel them to take.
This group consisted largely Of the
put and call" men, who for many years
have made New st. their home. A Cen
trail Office man was watching their OPP
erations yesterday, but found nothing
that would justify his interference.
Should any of these be even suspect
ed of buying stolen goods-and the mar
ket they have established is exactly the
sort that thieves would be expected to
use to dispose Of stolen securities in
quick action awaits them. One of these
men told Tribune reporter yesterday
that ne was not afraid the law could
touch him, and that anyway there was
nothing to prevent him lending money
on stock, just as pawnbroker would
on a diamond, and take his chances on
the pawner redeeming lis goods.
The Cotton Exchange was busy with
the evening up of contracts. 1t seemed
likely, prominent members of the eX-
change said. that the market would re-
open on Tuesday as originally ar
ranged. but that everything would
depend upon the developments over
Monday. These members pointed out
that after the welcome breathing spell
houses that were snort OF cash on Fri
day would have received the. remit
tances from clients necessary to make
their position sound.
The reopening the New York Stock
and Consolidated exchanges has not
even been considered. Nobody eX-
poets such action TO be taken immedi-
ately and nobody is so bold as to vent
ure a guess as to when the gong Will
sound again.
"That is for the governing commit
tee TO decide" he was quoted as say
ing yesterday, "and there is no reason
why the committee should be hurried
by any one"
There was no lending of money in
the Street yesterday on call or time and
there were only nominal transactions
in exchange. As high as 81 to the 81
was paid for small accommodations:
Francs or marks were not to be had
at any price.
The bank statement, as was to be
expected showed that the surplus
holdings of cash over the amount re-
ouired by law to be held had been
wiped out by the losses Of gold to
Europe during the week, the statement
of the condition of the banks at the
close of business Friday afternoon
showing reserves to be $l7,400,000 be-
low legal requirements, as compared
with a surplus of S26,0O0,00O week
ago Cash reserves were S4l1,OOO,OOO.
