Nv HOLLAND

New York, October 19.-(Special )--J. P. Morgan. as manager of the syndicate of New York banks which has underwrit- ten the financing of New York citys ex- isting obligations, called a few days ago upon the banks for the proportionate part due by each bank of s5,o0O, 900 in gold which was to be shipped to Ottawa and against which exchange could be drawn This was the latest of the calls issued by MT. Morgan up to this time. The mechanical and physical features of this movement of gold from the banks to Ottawa are the only incidents associated with this un- precedented transaction which are wis., fble.
 The call was for a certain designated day the latter part of last week. The banks were expected to have the gold at the office of J. P. Morgan & Co. as soon as possible after the opening of the busi- ness hour. although they could if they chose delay paying in the gold until just before o'clock. Soon after 10 o'clock there was procession of coupes and tax icabs in front of the Morgan banking house. Each of these carried a bank mes senger and most of them a bank police man, whose duty it was to protect the messenger and the gold. In addition to the occupants of these vehicles there filed into the Morgan offices a procession of men who fell into line. These were mes sengers from neighboring banks, the oth- CTS having come from distant parts of the city.

UNCLE SAM TOSEND OUT SNEW MONEY
 EARLY NEXT MONTH
Ornate Decorations Are Or dered Placed on the Bills of the Various De-
 nominations

Washington, october 1s.-( Special l--And now Uncle Sam is going to make some nice, new money for those who can af- ford the luxury, and the Comptroller of the Currency has given orders for wholesale supply of greenbacks and yell lowbacks. Two hundred and fifty millions of federal reserve notes will be issued and the delivery Of the paper to the l2 federal reserve banks is expected to begin som. time early in November.
 Mayhap, to make them attractive and to prevent their refusal on aesthetic or artistic grounds. Uncle Sam has given orders for crate decorations oa the notes of various denominations. which will be for s5, s10 S2o, $50 and sloe. Some folks would be satisfied with only V or an X or engraved on a certificate. but Uncle Sam will print pretty pictures on them suitable for framing and hanging on the wall
 For instance on the left hand side of .he Tack of the "fiyo-spots will le all o,.araving oi tho landing of Columbus and at the other end of the back will be pie turad the landing of the pilgrim. fathers on Plymouth Rock
 AS turai scenes" as the treasury depart nIent describes them, will cmblazoned n sEe backs of the Si0 notes, showing on the left hand d harvesting scene and on the right replica of "a inodein sactcry
 in operation It may be Uncle sans money factory-w'.o can tell?
 On the back of the $2o bill 'irsnsporta- tor will be represented. An automobile will show one way in which money goes fast, an aeroplane will remind the thoughtless that money takes wings, and a railroad train will indicate that money makes more than the mare go. Also will be shown a steamship in New York harbor, with ''the New York sky line" and the Statue of Liberty III the background.
 Just why Uncle Sam should desecrate 50-dollar will bith pictures is something that is not explained but he proposes to pr'nt thereon something "symbolical of the Panama canal, the centerpicee being a picture of a woman.' Whether said lady will be "September Morn" dipping her dainty toes in Culebra cut will not be known till the 'centerpiece" appears. 4 transatlantic steamer and battleship also will be depicted
 An allegorical picture will cover the group representing America, with Peace and Plenty on either subsequently, along the Mexican border A figure on the left hand will represent Labor bearing the harvest and figure on tho other will reuresent Mercury distributing said har- vest"
 So, when they see the pretty pictures many folks may be reconciled to having tho money wished on them.

new notes of the city of New York It is the financing of this new issue of notes which the banks of New York city have undertaken. there being only two finan- cial institutions of the city which did not become members of the syndicate. In normal times 1t would have been possible for New York city with ease to have re- funded the notes, aggregating $S2 900, 900, which are now due or are speedily to be- come due by an issue of new notes. But the deadlocking of international finance and the blockading of the exchange mar ket and other complications made it es- sential that syndicate which represent ed all the banks of New York should underwrite new issue of notes aggregat- ing sl00,0D0,000 and agree to furnish sS2 0oo.- 900 in gold with which to create a fund against which exchange could be drawn so that these existing obligations of the city held abroad could be paid immedi- ately.
 The new notes are in three issues-one for year, another for two years and a third for three years. They bear per cent interest

Seeking the Three Year Notes

The bank messengers who went with the receipts to the city comptroller were instructed by their superior officers to ask for as many three-year notes as the comptroller was disposed to pay over in return for the receipts for golG paid into the Morgan banking house. But it has been discovered that the comptroller is not disposed to pay out many three-year notes. He has given in payment for the receipts as many one-year notes as pos sible, some two-year notes and in each instance a few three-year notes, and there has been disappointment in the banks that they have not been able to secure u larger amount of three-year notes. Notes run ming for three years. bearing per cent interest, behind which stand the credit and resources of New York city, are so even in these times a tempting security.

NED BRACE LETTER
 IS SOUND POLICY.
George Eustis Says Transfer of the Burden From One Shoulder to Another
 Brings no Relief
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-HeraId
 Ned Braces letter in yesterdays Age Herald on the cotton situation is the only economically sound view of the situation which l have yet read locally.
 How the situation can be alleviated by carrying the cotton surplus and thereby increasing the visible supply I cannot figure out. unless the boil weevil comes to our rescue, but unfortunately he trav- els too slow.
 The transfer of a burden from one shoulder to another offers no relief; tho only apparent solution is the consump- tion or destruction of the surplus and the restriction of future production. If the end of this war was in sight we might make plans for the future. but the proba- bilties are that 1t will last long time. agree with Ned Brace in that many of the proposed plans of relief may make for our destruction.

Getting the Gold

Was III progress III the Morgan o.tjce. Inc gold certificates were taken as rapidly as possible from the paying teler's desk to the subtreasury of the United States, across the street. There the gold cer- tificates were exchanged for gold. This gold was hurried to safe place specially prepared for the packing of gold and within convenient reach of the subtreas- ury. In that place, expert coopers were, with rapid strokes, making the conven- tional kegs in which gold is packed When the kegs were finished they were turned over to the packers. who. with the proper admixture of cork dust and saw dust, placed the gold in the kegs, there being sbarp-eyed watchers close by as well as one of the executives of MT. Nor gans institution.
 So all day there was a procession from tine Morgan offices to the subtreasury, whose duty it was to exchange gold cer- tiicates for gold coin or bars. So rap idly was this work carried on that within an hour after the close of the banking day the gold was deposited in the kegs, safely sealed up and delivered to the ex- press company. When delivery was made t. the express company and receipts had been given by the companys representa- ttves the responsibility and risk of the New York bankers were ended
 Within 12 hours this gold was expected to be in the possession of the representa-. tives of the Bank of England at Ottq wa. By what railroad line it was transported from New York to Ottawa was known only to those whose business it was to know. What the precautions for protect ing the gold en route were to be was a secret shared by the express company with the operators of the iailroad com pany. At the time when J. P Morgan & Co., was as fiscal agent of the United States, shipping gold to England and to France for the purpose of paying for our purchase of the Panama canal title and materials there were no facilities for packing gold in large amounts even at the subtreasury or at the assay ohfice
 It was necessary to set up temporary coopers shop in little yard at the rear of the assay office, and there all day, for several days. the tapping of the cooper's hammers was heard by those who oc- cupied adjacent offices. At the windows of these offices many persons were gath cred, so that they might see all of the operation which the packing of gold in- volved. Now a safe place has been pro- vided for packing gold and the opera tion cannot be witnessed by any but those who are authorized to take part in if. From time to time, until the $S2, ,o0000o of gold which the New York banks have subscribed to the syndicates underwrit- ings of the city's obligations have been paid in, there will be- repetition of such scenes as many interested persons op served when the latest of the calls upon New York city banks for their propor- donate part of the gold underwriting was paid in, the gold certificates converted into gold. the gold packed and then the gold shipped to Ottawa.

The procession bore resemblance to the trav- elers who pass one after another through the gates of a railway station to a train It was not to be distinguished from the throngs that sometimes gather at the pay ing teller's windows of a bank, stretching out in line, with this exception-the pro- cession which filed past the teller's win dows of the Morgan bank was distin- guished by curious and in some cases shabby assortment of handbags
