FINANCIAL CONDITION SOUND
New York Bankers See No Reason
for Alarm.
CLEARING HOUSE MEN MEET
secretary McAdOo Issues Statement
saying Treasury VIII Help Rs
Far as it Can I'm Present
Emergency,

NEW YORK. July S1.-Members OF the
board OF governors OF the Stock exchange
said that the board would probably ask
the banks not to call any loans due today
or at any time while the Stock exchange
remained closed. The banks, II was be-
Ieved would agree to such an arrange
ment. ..t
The board of governors is in favor Of
restricting all outside or private pur-
chases or sales of securities by any of
the members. The conference Of bankers
was resumed at Morgan & Co.'S offices in
the early afternoon with some additional
participants. including Paul NJ. Warburg
Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co
Several of the bankers expressed be-
lief that the tension would show some
relaxation over night Another subject
which was given second consideration
was the matter of gold exports. 1t was
the opinion that the lack OF American
vessels and the increasingly prchibitive
rates Of insurance would soon bring that
outflow to an end.
IT was learned that some Of the Cam
adian banks we're calling loans and had
Withdrawn some OF their reserves from
banks IN this city The amounts with
drawn by the Canadian banks was said
10 be relatively small
American situation sound.
A reassuripg statement by the bankers
of New York, through their representa-
tivess and the clearing house committee,
was issued later After the meeting OF
the. clearing house committee as an
houncement was made as follows:
There was meeting Of the clearing
house comnittee' this morning in view
Of the closing Of the New York Stock ex-
change and it's bearing on the general
situation II was the opinion of the COM
mittee sthat the business and financial
condition oftNew York and the entire
country was sound, but that the situation
IN Europe justified extreme prudence and
self control on the part OF the United
States 3that the closing of the Stock ex-
