 EMERGENCIES

Washington, February 16.-The nations finances are mobiIized to meet any situation likely to be presented in the near future, in the opinion of the federal reserve board, whose precautionary meas ures, undertaken upon the sever ance of diplomatic relations with Germany. have assumed concrete form and are believed to cover every contingency that may arise.
 There arc at present on deposit with federal reserve agents In the various reserve districts approxI- mately $30O.OO0,000 in cash and the huge reserve of s6o0, ,0OO, 900 is available at Washington for use wherever it may be needed. As precautionary measure, the board has requested the bureau of en- graving and printing to engravc large additional sum of reserve notes which will be ready for use in case the occasion may arise.
 An estimate by George M. Rey- holds of Chicago thnt the banks of the country are able to with stand a financial strain involving eight times the sum involved in the panic of 1907. is believed by officials to be 8 correct appraisal of the strength of the federal re- serve system.
 The first concern of the board to protect member banks against runs by depositors of foreign birth and nonmember banks so fnr as possible virtually has passed. There have been but few runs, it was said, and these apparently were due to the unfounded belief Of foreign-born dcpositors that the government would confiscate their bank accounts in case of war. The issuance of Secretary Lans- ing's recent statement correcting this idea is said to have dispelled the fear of such depositors and conditions are reported to be virtu- ally normal.
 The unusual transportation sit uation. due to the congestion of traffic, has been reflected in the business done by federal reserve banks. The volume of acceptances bought rose approximately $2O.- 100000 within week and dis counted rates have hardened some what.
