There is great discussion concerning
the gold question in Paris. Certain
critics urge that the yellow metal is
treated in France and Russia as an
idol that cannot be touched. This ar
gument is considered here incorrect
and as narrow minded.
The careful boarding Of gold in
France and Russia is held as not likely
to interfere with the national finance
operations of the two countries. II
guarantees tiduciary circulation of
notes. In the judgment of the best
French tinanciers, great accumulation
of gold does not depreciate issue Of
paper money, as critics suggest, but,
on the contrary, such accumulation of
the precious metal in the bank is a
necessary feature of the monetary poll
icy of France and Russia.

trust companies, to act as guardian
or trustee without bond, must invest
their capital in New York State or
municipal bonds or mortgages. To al
low this business TO be done by banks
which are not compelled 20 safeguard
their capital, but may loan it with
their other funds, appears decidedly
unfair. Legislation affecting the right
of national banks TO assume trust
powers pending in other states will be
Influenced by the course of our legis-
lators at Albany.
Another bill in the state Legisla
ure in which the financial district was
interested was one to provide an an
nual tax on secured debts. Under the
present law mortgage and bonds are
made exempt from on by pay
ment of tax for registration. II
appears that nothing can legally be
done to release the state from its con-
tract on secured debt already regis
tered, and the law will probably be
made clearly not retroactive. As this
is an attempt TO shift some Of the
burden from real estate TO personal
property, realty interests, which
otherwise might be expected to oppose
an annual mortgage tax, are inclined
to look on the bill with some favor.

considerable friction between mem

As vet, largely through influence OF

The trust company interests felt
that modifying the law of this state to
allow competition by state and nation

independent existence. Large state
and national banks in this city are
understood to be making no effort TO
further this legislation. Its princi--
pal support comes from national
