weeks after the beginning of the Euro pean war.
 One of the leading authorities of the earlier days who is now retired from active business said this morning, ''The organization and operation of the fed eral seserve system are to be well com pared in their effects with the results which followed the discovery of gold in California whereby the United States for the first time in it's history secured an abundant money metal" This au- thority continued saying that whereas the enormous supply of new gold from American mines served to change our fiscal and financial system and greatly to stimulate industry and commerce, the progress was normal and gradual, where as on the other hand the federal reserve banking system was established and put into operation at the beginning of the worlds greatest war. there being, of course. no anticipation that a war of that kind would come. and by means of this new system the United States has passed through an era of unparalleled financing and financial transactions the latest achievement being the sys- tematic, simple and effective financing without causing disturbance in the money market-of $s,00o, 900 000o. part ot it represented by the Liberty Loan. ant part to be represented by taxation that will be realized in June

QUOTED VALUES
 UNDERGO CHANGE
Tail-end Rally of the Session
 Put Leaders Back in E the Running

New York. May 23.-Downward read justment of quoted values continued to feature todays stock market until the last half hour. when spirited rally in United States Steel and a few other leaders caused a firm close. se New elements entered into the technical situation at the outset of the session, created by the failure of tne war board to advance copper prices and the more serious consideration accorded war bull Ietins from the western battlefront.
 Rails again expressed the change in speculative sentiment, occasioned by the governments plan of unified control and bullish ardor, suffered further restraints from Washington advices bearing upon increased war taxes
 These and related factors, including the failure of the Baldwin Locomotive directors to act on the common divi- dend, gave the short interest a pretext to attack the general list, which reacted l { to points in, the several recessions ~ Prices were at their worst in the lat ter part of the trading, but steeps vigor- ons rebound from 1065s to 1o91s, net gain of practically 2 points, served as a warning to the bears, who covered UT gently.
 The sharp upswing was equally effec- f i've in other industrials and equipments, ! lso many specialties, including Sumatra tobecco, which recorded a new maximum on itssextreme rise of "A to 134; Colorado Fuel. Linseed common and preferred, cotton oil, Lackawanna Steel and Wilson Packing.
 F Bonds again showed irregular tenden- cies, very large block of Liberty As { selling at the minimum of T50 Total sales, par value, aggregated $4,S75, 900. 5aOld United States bonds were unchanged ason call but registered 2s and As rose 4 ana B, respectively, on sales.

CORN REP[ANT|NG UNDER THE NORMAL Both Oats and Corn Go Off, Followed by Provisions
 and Hogs

Chicago, May 2S,-Reports that the amount of re-planting necessary this year was under the normal did good deal today to put the corn market on the down grade. Prices closed heavy, IF to sA off. with June, s1.S7 and July s1.3SEs to $l. 40, the lowest figures this season for each delivery. Oats declined 7sc to 2c and provisions 12c to 55c. Corn ranged down. ward almost the entire day, but es- pecially during the last hour. Current advices indicated that seed was germi- mating better than had been expected-a result due, 1t was said, to unusual care in selecting seed and to the excellent condition the soil was in to receive the grain Bearish sentiment developed also iron, the prospect that the movement of corn after planting is finished would be large Some authorities maintained in this connection that liberal supplies on farms were still the rule. Favorable weather for the completion of planting tended likewise to handicap the bulls
 Oats weakened, owing largely to the outlook for increased receipts as soon as corn planting is out of the way
 Provisions gave way with grain and hogs. At times business was nearly at a standstill

WHAT MIR. MORGAN DID

Thereupon MT. Morgan simply said You go back to the exchange and tn nounce that within a short time $200O0- GOO will be made available for those who need funds." Having said that, MT. Nor gan took up the telephone. Within 10 minutes he had called up various bank CTS and directed them to join in forming a pool. the aggregate of which was to be s20, o000C0 cash, the total to be distrib- uted to those who needed it in the ex- change.
 One bank president who was of prom thence and influence to whom MT. Nor gan said that he must send 8, ,000000, re- piled that he could not do that, because If he did he would cut into his reserve. Through the telephone the voice of MT. Morgan went back to that president speaking these words, This emergency Is just what a reserve is for.'' The s20000, Do were in this way and by the directing power of the greatest individual force of his time in the world of American finance secured and sent to the ex- change and the effect was instantaneous. Substantially normal money market con- ditions were in that way restored Had fhe federal reserve system been in exist ence in 1907 no emergency of this kind woeid have been possible, although there might have been business demoralIzation.
 Now, within six weeks the American banks, led by group of 30 banks in New York city, all strongly supported i1v the federal reserve system, have been able to finance or will be able by June 10 to finance the enormous sum of nearly $S 000, 900, GOO and to do this without attract ing any more attention to the money market than was the case when MT. Morgan with little syndicate which he organized transferred $25,000000 in gold to London for the purpose of enabling the government to pay Panama canal obligations to France which but for this action would have entailed the shipment of that amount of gold.
 What was accomplished under the lead ership of MT. Morgan and few others. livsAuly ms longtime friend and asso- ciate. George F. Baker. solely by the force of moral persuasion and leadership is now being accomplished by the banks of the United States because behind them stands the federal reserve system.
 ears ago up to 1913 bankers In the United States were endeayoring
 ei,i ? new national banking sys- tsm whereby the crudities and archaic fst, ss,4i.ss winch were characteristic of tho old banking system could be eliminated. And it now is spoken of as one of the many remarkable illustrations of what seems to be the finger of destiny in guiding the United States, that the fed erad reserve system was adopted ana was actually in operation within few

MARVELS OF OUR
 BANKING SYSTEM

New York, May 3.-(Specal. .}--Al- though the men of finance who are at the head of large financial institutions speak of the recent achievement of the American banks as though it were some thing to be expected and in line with the efficiency which is now so remarkably characteristic of American industry, nevertheless some of the veterans who had exp parience in earlier days are speak ing of the latest triumphs of the banks and the federal reserve system with ad- miration and even amazement
 First Of all they say that the banks behind which stands the federal reserve board are now financing subscription for the third Liberty Loan which in the aggregate is $4,170,000. In addition to that the banks, backed by the fedora. reserve system, are preparing to meet demands aggregating probably $3,500,0oo.- U00 which represent the taxes that must be paid in within the next three weeks to the. government Yet these stupen- dous things have been and are being ac- complished without and perceptible er- feet on the money marlket.
 It was natural that these veterans should call to mind experiences in earlier days in which they shared. For in- stance, one of those who 25 or 90 years ago was of much prominence in the world of finance and in the securities market recalled that in the panic of 1893 he was obliged to go out upon the street and buy currency wherever he could pick it up, paying large prices for it, for It was necessary for him to obtain curren- cy in order to meet his pay rolls, which were large. It was impossible at that time to get any currency from the banks. Yet after the panic was ended the dis covery was made that the banks had on hand in 1898 more currency than was Tn their vaults in 1892.
 Had the federal reserve banking sys- tenn been in existence in 1893 an exper- fence oI that kind would have been inn possible.
 So also occasional references have been made to the panic of 1907. Those who have personal knowledge of many things which occurred at that time, which were not reported, say that upon one fateful morning the president of the New York stock exchange called upon the senior J. F. Morgan for the purpose of inform ing Mir. Morgan that it seemed to him and the governors of the exchange that it was inevitable that the exchange close it's doors, saying it was impossible 70 obtain loans or currency, since the rates charged for currency were practically DrOhiDitiye.
