Finances in Excellent Shape

John Shelton Williams, comptroller
of the currency, who passed the day
at the sub-treasury, said tonight.
THE finances of the country are in
excellent shape, and there Is abso-
lutely no need for anyone to worry.
We have the situation we'll in hand.
All the currency that is necessary is
in circulation at this time"
There probably was never another
day in the history of the country on
which such a variety of comprehen-
sive measures was put into force.
Banks of this and other large cities
through the country decided to issue
Clearing House certificates, to furnish
an additional medium of circulation in
settlement of transactions among
banks.
Millions for Emergency
Many millions of dollars of emergen-
cy currency. provided by the Aldrich-
Vreeland law, were shipped to New
York and other financial centers. Saw
ings banks and private banking msti-
buttons in New York state put into
effect the clause which permits them
to stop payment Of funds to depositors
for co days and 80 days, respectively,
after applications for Withdrawals are
made. The recent enormous outflow of
gold to Europe, one of the chlef
causes of the unsettled situation here,
was believed to have been stopped eff
fectually.
While plans for these various steps
were arranged yesterday, it took sew
eral hours of rapid work today to put
them into operation. Until that had
been accomplished the financial dis
trict wos under something of strain.
Two small private banks were closed,
but there were no other occurrences of
this nature.
Big Circulation
As a result of today's action there is
now in circula ton more currency than
at any previous time in the history of
the country.
Clearing House certificates TO the
value of about s20,000000 were issued
today and il was expected that fur
tier large amounts would be demand
ed by the banks shortly. During the
1907 panic the maximum amount of
certificates issued was $103.000,O coo.
During the time that the Clearing
House certificates are in circulation,
the usual weekly detailed bank state
ment will not be issued. This course
was pursued in 1907.
Stock Exchange brokers settled down
for a long period of inactivity. for it
was the general opinion that the mar
ket would not be re-opened for sew
ios CT
oeived inquiries which showed that
there was considerable demand for
stocks from investors. In most cases.
ii was said, offers We're made ranging
from to points higher than the quo
tations which prevailed when trading
was suspended on .Thursday-night !.
