New York State
Pays .$1,S09,2S0
Interest Charges
Money Meets a Semi-An-
nual Highway, Forest and
Reservation Cost

ALBANY, Aug. Hover $1,000 ,280
will be paid out tomorrow as the
states semi-annual contribution for the
interest charges upon the highway and
forest preserve sinking funds and the
Saratoga Springs State Reservation
fund, State Controller Travis an
nounced tonight. According to the
Controllers records, this sum repre-
sents the six months interest charges
upon these public enterprises, adopted
by popular approval, and, with the ex
ception of the Saratoga Springs fund,
is to be paid out of sinking funds
raised by direct state tax.
The Saratoga Springs State Reserva-
ton fund arose from serial bond issues
Of 81 ,2S4,235, the last bond issue matur
ing in 1925. Of this total amount
originally issued S714000 remains I'M
cancelled, and the states semi-annual
interest upon this amount to be paid
this week amounts to $14,280. The
Palisade Interstate Park sinking fund
was created in 1910 and increased in
1917 to care for the $5,000,000 per
cent bonds due in 1861 and 1867. The
semi-annual contribution due is $780,
600 and sinking funds of S611, 965.77.
In addition to these, there are at
present six highway debt sinking
funds, representing S80O00,00O worth
of bonds, for which there exists sink
ing fund aggregating S18,285, 126.77.
There remain $2O,Oo0.00O more of
these bonds to be issued, and the semi
annual amount of interest to be paid
Monday aggregates $1,645, 900. The
forest preserve sinking fund, which
totals $2,5O0,00O, calls for interest pay
ment of $4,000.
Besides these debts there are twelve
canal sinking funds, representing
$148,000,6 $50 worth of bonds, which now
amount to $36,585, 5O7.79. The interest
on this debt is payable in January and
July. Out Of the total amount of all
state bonds sold for improvement of
canals, highways and the acquisition of
the forest preserve there remains $751;
100000 yet to be issued. This is made
up of 100000 forest preserve, $780,
100000 highway and $6,800,000 barge
canal terminal bonds.

instituting habit, and if our people

ing these current years to the use and
the consumption of American articles
it is not too much to assert that those

strengthen this conquest nothing could
be better than to facilitate credit and
to provide the shipping required for

Gold Producers to
Confer i'm Nevada
Governor Boyle Calls Gather.
ing to Consider High
Cost Of Mining
(Spec,u D;snotch ~ Tho ~.

NSpectut dispatch to The Tribune)
CARSON, New, Aug. 1.-THE con-
ference of gold producers, bankers,
economists, state and Federal repre-
sentatives which is to begin at Reno
on August ~ for three-day session
promises to cover wide range of sub
jects affected directly or indirectly bv
the price of gold and the cost of pro-
ducing it. Money and credit. the gold
reserve and the continuation of the
producing industry in the United
States are involved in the problems for
the consideration of which Governor.
Boyle of Nevada has called together
the leading producers, bankers, econo-
msts and monetary authorities of the
West.
Representative of the Treasury De-
partment, the Geological Survey, the
Federal Reserve banks, the state gov
ernments, universities, mining associa-
tlons and capitalists are expected to
attend, and acceptances have been re-
ceived from large number of the men
invited from the twelve Western states
interested in gold mining The Treas
ury Department has been advised by
Governor Boyle that. while there is no
disposition to disturb money and cred
its, the conference is necessary in or
der to digest many of the different
views which have sprung up as re-
suit Of condition whereby it costs
more to produce gold than the metal
brings in the market. 1t is expected
that the entire situation will be care
fully examined, SO that the West may
unite on harmonious appeal for suit
able relief.
Individual plans published in various
states have covered the reduction of
labor and transportation expenses as
we'll as costs of necessary materials.
such as powder, steel and chemicals
and means of obtaining larger gross
returns through virtual increase in

purposes, to reduce the amount of
credit granted for purposes not
clearly necessary to the prosecution
of the war, and to impress upon
borrowers the need of keeping their
demands for, credit down to the
minimum. Of course, nothing is be
ing done to cause undue embarrass-
ment to borro wers; yet, as the wal
goes on many lines will probably
suffer greatly from credit starva.
ton. The money market situation
is described by the Mechanics and
Metals National Bank thus:
The direct cost of the war to the
United States, together with the
sums advanced to our Allies, is now
more than S250,O00,OOO week, and
funds to meet that cost are being
obtained, in anticipation of the next
Liberty loan, by means Of regular
offerings from Washington to banks
in every quarter of the United States
of Treasury certificates of indebt-
edness. These certificates are being
taken by the banks in fixed proper
ton to their resources.
In a sense the banks are between
two powerful forces. The Treasury
is very properly seeking their help
to meet it's war cost in full. It's need
cannot be denied. The Federal Re-
serve system is seeking, also very
properly, to place check on any un-
due recourse to its facilities. Its
restraint should not be removed. But
the banks, as they are called upon
to direct credit stream having a
volume of billion dollars month
into the government treasury, must
necessarily have the proper means.
They are not able to pay for the GER
tificates, offered ON huge scale at
regular intervals, entirely out Of
their available resources. Nor are
they in position to pay for them
altogether by drastically curtailing
their commercial credits, and thus
relieving funds for the government.
Up to the present time, it is true, a
part OF the needs of the Treasury for
war financing have been met out of
such free credit as the banks had
available, and another part has been
diverted from commercial borrowers,
who were 1rsde to go without the
bank accommodations they formerly
enjoyed. 1t is through resorting to
the credit reservoir of the Federal
Reserve system that the nations
war finance measures have thus far
been smoothly handled, and it will
be through continued recourse there
that an orderly money situation will
be maintained and rates kept on an
even level, so long as the present form
Of government borrowing continues.
How far the Federal Reserve
facilities will ultimately be used de-
ponds, of course, upon the extent to
which the credit now being extended
in Iuch large volume is kept liquid.
1t is in keeping credit in constant
flow and properly directed without
any damning behind unnecessary
barriers that the present RESPONSE
bility of the Treasury to the market
lies.

Developments in the money mar
ket last week were of more than
usual interest because of the re-
straining influence that is now be-
ing exerted upon the security mark
kets by the insufficient supply of
funds. There was little or no in
crease in the volume of money Of
fered by the banks from day to day
during the week, and rates accord
ingly underwent no important
change, being firmly maintained
around per cent. Toward the
close of the week, when the banks
found it impossible to offer sufficient
funds to meet the demands of the
market, the bankers money commit
tee loaned about $1O,O00,0OO on call
at the Stock Exchange, thus pre-
venting runaway market and hold
ing the rate to 6 per cent. AS indi-
eating how everything that is pos
sible is being done to conserve
credit, the action of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York in sending
out letter to all the member banks
in this district urging upon them
the necessity of curtailing all credit
advances to the less essential lines
OF business was considered signifi-
cant. The banks have been asked to
secure reduction, so far as practi-
cable, of all loans now carried for

More Confidence
Now Exists

The government and high CONNER
cial centres of the union having taken
warning from the error committed, in
the early stage Of our intenser COM
mercial relations, protest broke out
in Wall Street itself, and the reaction
was produced. To-day more serious
procedure is being followed in the dis
patching of goods and a more reason
able confidence exists between buver
and seller. 1t is for this reason and
owing to the difficulties which beset
European industrial production and its
access to the River Plate that Ameri.
can trade has increased in gigantic
degree"
viii the United States be able to
hold after the war the trade captured
in Argentina? This question is an
swered by the Buenos Ayres newspaper
thus:
III the Americans wish to retain
the trade which they now have and to
extend it so as to occupy promi-
nent place in the Argentine trade sta
tlstics, it is necessary that they should
concern themselves with attending to
Argentine necessities at this precise
instant, when our commercial life is
gong through period of veritable af-
fiction. The best rcclame which thew
can make for their products and for
their commercial organization is to ar
rive when others are not arriving; to
attend to business when others are
neglecting it.; thus they will create and
strengthen the current which has set
