lFrom the New York Sun.l
Business is once more finding itself
on firm ground. When the very foun-
dations of finance and commerce
rocked four months ago in the economic
convulsion attending the outbreak of
the war in Europe 1T was difficult to
believe that a sure footing would be
recovered in anything like the com
since elapsed. The banking and busi-
ness community. however, kept its head
despite the difficulty of keeping it's
feet, and as a result almost normal
conditions have been restored.
New York City is always the center
of any financial disturbance that visits
the United States. Here the country
primary markets for money, securities
and foreign exchange are maintained
and here the country's commercial bal
mony of the country's return to the
normal is in no respect more convtnc-
ing than in the announcement that the
New York Clearing iIousebankinB IN
stitutons have retired all the loan Ger
tjficates which began to issue in Au-
gust to enable members to effect tenn
porary arrangements of accounts
among themselves without using re-
serve money.
house certificates was an emergency
measure of the first class sanctioned
by experience in grave crisis, and the
promptness with which It was made
undoubtedly helped to render the Crisis
occasions in our financial history en-
ployment of measures of the sort was
almost invariably too tardy and tlmid:
On this occasion our bankers acted
with resolution and celebrity. and in
consequence the banking position was
almost overprepared for trouble, a vir-
tue and not fault in that violent
panic was prevented precisely because

RED CROSS STAMPS

THE sale of Red Cross Christmas
stamps this year should not
= suffer because we are called
upon to extend our holiday
charities in so many new directions.
The sale starts next Monday.
The country has big task before
it if it hopes to break the 1913 record.
There were approximately 100000
Red Cross Christmas Seals sold in the
United States during the holiday sea-
son of last year, which means that
about 100000 were spent in order
that the fight against the Great White
Plague might go on on successfully.
The CHEEKY message of these Christ
mas seals has gone out on holiday
letters and packages for six years and
each penny spent added to the great
est crusade of modern times.
And every year since 1908 the ma
tional work has gone happily on. In
round numbers the gross receipts that
have been gained through the idea
that Miss Bissell gave to the Red
1908 to 1913 inclusive, nearly $1,000
600.

age person in the first stages of tu-
berculosis can be sent to better
climate, properly nourished and made

No citizen of Harrisburg who is in

tremendous transformation that is now
under way in the vicinity of Second

building changes in that territory. Nor

New Yorks example in August was
quickly followed at other banking CEN
ters, but the Treasury reports now that
at every point clearing house certifi-
Gates have been either paid off or called
for redemption. According to all pre-
cedent this marks the recovery of finan-
cial equilibrium. The fact that emer-
gency currency is in process of rapid
retirement, more than one-third of 1t
having been already withdrawn, has
corroborative significance.
The banking position to-day supple
ments other evidence. the optimistic
bearing of which has been summed
up in the progress toward a complete
resumption of open dealings in the
organized securities market, and in
creases the announcement already Of

o adequately anticipated.

1t was so adequately anticipated.
1t is interesting to note that while
the latest issue OF clearing house GER
tificates in New York was outstanding
for a shorter period than in the 1907-0S
panic crisis or in 1898 much the
largest total was issued this year. The
previous record was made seven years
ago, but was exceeded in the last few
amount recently outstanding at any
one time was $20,765,000 greater than
in 1907-0S
There is, in the aggregate of clearing
house loan certificates taken out and
in the fact that they were all retired
within seventeen weeks from the first
issue to the last cancellation, striking
proof of the extent to which the finan-
cial situation has been adjusted to the
circumstances of the European war.
