old Rooseveltan fire and vgor, but is Enthusiastically Rooscveltan in

When Theodore Roosevelt took the oath OF office as president there
were $40 trusts. or combinations in existence throughout the United

left 10000. But the Roosevelt way i not the Wilson way. The number
OF trusts hn, been lc,cncd instead OF increased since Mr. Wilson's IL
auguration, and while the cxprcsidcnt was making his ridiculous ami

the statements Of Judge Gary. chairman Of the board of directors OF

NEW YORK CENTER
FOR THE EXCHANGE
Millions of it Originate at Various
Ports and Interior Cities, But
Goes Through New
York
by HOLLAND

New York, January 1I-(Speeial. )-While
referring TO some features of the testi-
mcny submitted recently to Secretaries
McAdoo and Houston when sitting in this
city as an organization committee in an
ticipatior of the establishment of federal
reserve board. 1t was said by one au-
thority that for all practical purposes
the huge foreign exchange business of
the country, amounting annually to un-
thipkable billions of dollars. is done in
and through Wall street, and it is this
foreign exchange market on which the
new banking system must rely for con-
troll of the importation and expectation of
gold upon which bank credits are to be
based
Nevertheless recent authoritative
statement shows that 1T least two of these
unthinkable billions of foreign exchange
we're handled by one state chartered in
stitItion and presumably almost as much
more was handled by another. 1t has
been common remark in this city for
some months that the bills drawn against

ticn. The private bankers handle very
large amounts of foreign exchange, and,
relatively speaking the amount handled
by the national banks Is not very large.
and very likely will not be under the
new bank law
While it is believed here to have been
the undoubted purpose of the Trainers of
the new national banking and currency
law to dislocate into BEAUTIFULLY compet-
ins parts what in recent years has been
the highly co-ordnated methods of bank
ing which have concentrated cash and
credit in New York II IS also believed that
i was far from the purpose OF those who
perfected the bill To interfere with the
formal movements of the foreign ex-
change markets.
None of those who in Congress had
part in this legislation has been reported
as having said, either publicly or in in
formal conversation. that he believed that
legislation could in any way interfere
with the operation of fundamental eco
nonic laws of trade including those which
govern foreign exchange.

The Great International Trade

The presumption is strong that the bu-
roau of statistics at Washington will
speedily report in precise figures the ag-
gregate money value Of our International
trade in the year 1913 Probably these
figures will show that the money value of
this trade, including both exports and
imports, is at least 4,jo0, ZOO. Much the
greater part of these International trade
transactions is covered by the kind of
financing which Is represented by foreign
exchange.
One banker was prepared to testify TO
Secretaries McAdoo and Houston shat
while much the greater rart of this trade
is represented by foreign exchange which
originates elsewhere 1han in the metro
pclitan district, nevertheless the chief
market for bills of this kind is in New
York city and must remain here.
The stupendous industry and energy of
the west and south create foreign ex-
change in enormous amount Probably
the money value of that part of the cot
ton crop of 1918 which was marketed in
Europe will be approximately 5000, 900, 600
Three years ago the money value of the
cotton crop exported. $500,000,000 was es-
timated by James Stllman to be pre- c.
tically equivalent to the aggregate of
the visible international trade balance es-
tai ished in favor of the United States
that year.
Galveston is one of the great exporting
ports for cotton. These exports are so
heavy that this little city upon sand
bar ranks almost second as an exporting
port.
But while Galvestop's exports of cotton
create foreign exchange in enormous
amounts, neither Galveston nor the terri
tory which is within the trace zone of
that city buys foreign exchange, at least
in any appreciable quantity. The mer-
chants, manufacturers and agriculturists
of that city are not large importers.
Therefore these bills must be sold else
where.
