PROSPECTS 5000
FOR COMING YEAR
PRESIDENT JAS. Ii. FORGAN OF
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
CHICAGO SAYS FINANCIAL CON-
OPTIONS PRACTICALLY NORMAL

During the first half of 1914.
business for a variety of reasons was
restricted in volume and generally
depressed. in consequence of which
the money market was irregular and
unsatisfactory. The outbreak of the
greatest war in history at the begin
ming of August threw the financial
affairs of the world into a chaotic
condition. An unprecedented and
world wide uheaval of information
al took place. To bridge
the time until they could adjust
themselves to abnormal conditions
the banks in Chicago. as elsewhere.
had recourse to the use of temporary
credit instruments in the form of
Northumberland currency for gen
eral circulation, and to the issuance
of clearing house loan certificates for
the settlement of balances among
themselves. Owing to these and
other precautionary measures the
year is passing out with practically
normal financial conditions and with
q good business outlook for the com
ing year The banks are in good
shape as to their reserve strength
and should make a satisfactory
showing as to their profits for the
year.
Since the new Federal Reserve
Law became effective and the FEEDER
al Reserve Bank was opened. the
banks have been able to discontinue
the use of the temporary expedients
above referred to. The money re-
leased in the national banks by the
reduction in their legal reserve re-
quirements authorized by the new
law was somewhat more than enough
to offset the amount required to re
deem their clearing house loan GER
t~i1cates and to retire their Aldrich-
Vreeland notes. The clearing house
loan certificates have all been retired
while the emergency notes have
nearly all either been sent in for can
collation. or have been provided for by
the deposit of lawful money in the
United States Treasury. A large
amount of these notes, while covered
by gold il the United States Treas
ury, are still in circulation. These
will gradually find their way into the
United States Treasury for redemp-
ton, largely through the Fedora
Reserve banks. and can be replaced
by Federal Reserve notes II COM
merce should require additional u
> rency. The facilities afforded by the
Federal Reserve banks justify the
hone that never again will there be
any occasion for the S of either
clearing house loan certificates or o.
emergency currency.
The Federal Reserve banks
opened for business just at the com
mencement of the a when con
traction of the circulating medium
of the country regularly and natural
ly takes place. simultaneously with
