SAYS NATIONS FINANCES
HAVE BEEN Modified
Federal Reserve Board Announces
Measures Taken Will Meet Any
Contingency That May Arise.

Mobilization of the national finances has
been accomplished in the opinion of the
federal reserve board. Precautionary
measures unde. taken upon the breaking
off of relations with Germany are regarded
as capable of meeting any contingency
that may arise There is approximately
$500, 900, 900 in cash on deposit with the
federal reserve agents of the twelve banks
The huge reserve of 100000, 900 at Wash
inston is available.
The bureau of engraving and printing
is preparing to engrave a large amount
of federal reserve notes for an increased
stock to meet any occasion for increased
circulation.
The banks of the nation are believed to
be in a condition at this time to withstand
a financial strain involving eight times
the sum involved in the panic of 1907.
This estimate. made by G. N. Reynolds of
Chicago. is concurred in by federal Off
Gals.
Protection of member banks against
runs by depositors of foreign birth was
the first concern Of the federal reserve
board This has been met and the situa-
ton virtually has passed.

FORESHADOWS INCREASE
IN THE GOLD HOLDINGS
Senate Committee Reports Favorably
on Amendment to Federal Re-
serve Bank Law.

An increase of 2oo,Oo0,ooO in the gold
holdings of federal reserve banks is
made possible by arr~amendment to the
federal reserve law. which the Senate
banking committee has reported IA
vorably. It is one of a number sug-
gested by the federal reserve board.
all receiving favorable action.
The amendment would modify the ex-
listing requirements of law for col
lateral against reserve notes of 100 per
cent commercial and 40 per cent gold,
so that such notes may be issued
against 100 per cent gold also.
THE amendment" says the commit
tee report, will permit federal reserve
banks to receive gold coin and gold
certificates in exchange for federal re-
serve notes, which is now done by IN
direction. 1t is of great Importance to
the federal reserve system to attract
to the federal reserve banks a large
amount of gold which now serves no
very useful purpose in the pockets OF
the people or as till money in the
member banks

Will Strengthen Confidence.

THE adoption of this proposal would
result in causing the gravitation into
federal reserve banks of probably
$500, 900, 900 of gold. 1t would have the
effect of magnifying the power OF the
banks and Strengthening public con-
fidence in the federal reserve system
Another amendment would reduce the
percentage of reserves to be held by
member banks with their reserve bank
in country banks instead OF II per
cent of demand deposits. and instead
of 5 per cent on time deposits IN a
