CURRENCY IN GREAT DEMAND Now York Banks Paying Big Prominms to . Secure It SCHEMES THAT ARE BEING RESORTED TO Bilvor Freoly Used 1n Paying Cheeks—The Banks Have Censed to Ship Green- baweks to the Country-Notes from the Finauclal World. New Yonx, Aug. 8.—~The overshadowing question this morning in financial circles was the scarcity of currency. At many banks it was admitted that cash payments for large checks over the counters had been suspended for some days, except in cases where it was known that the actual cash was nocessary. In other words, the banks used discrimination, and where it was thought the demand for actual cash (cur- renoy) was for the purpose of hoarding, the bank insisted on a certified check being taken. Domestic Exchange Tn the very general collapse of the machin- ery of domestic exchange the collection of in other towns and cities been managed on au unusual scheme. ually when a New York bank depositor turns in a check drawn t his order on an_ outof town bank the New York bank . remits to its own correspondent in the same place for collection, or else sends direct to the bank drawn upon. In both cases out of town banks have either delayed remitting or have neglected exchange, and thus churgiog up to the New York bank the cost of exchange. The city banks have, therefore, resorted in an unusually large measure of late to direct collection through the express companies, which make a spe- cialty of presenting drafts direct at distant points, drawing out the money and shipping it to New York. The cost of this transac- tion has for a long time been materially below the rato charged for interior ex- chbange. Many curious incidents are related by the bankers as to the working of such collection. Some eutsido banks have taken pains to pay such drafts in_inconvenient currency, notably standard silver dollars, One caso is moutioned of a country bank on which a drafu for several thousand dollars was collected returning the money in gold, $100 in standard silver dollars and #6000 in subsidiary coin, almost _entirely dimes, with a liberal sprinkling of Canadian pieces. It 18 quite probable. unless the draft actually exhausted the little bank's resources, that the country banker got the better of 1ts city creditors, for the loss on ex- change could hardly have excoeded tho vir- wual 10ss on non-legal tender. Must Part with Their Bonds. While tho majority of savings banks of- ficlals persisted today in saying that thoy will not be tempted to part, with their gov- ernment bonds, yet a well informed minority of them declare that it is unavoidable. A former savings bank president, and now the head of & trust company which has exten- sivedealings with savings banks,said that the sale of bonds would not,_be necessary. Ho explained s follows: *“Tho savings banks are well prepared for the scarcity, and it is not entirely unexpected. They have guarded thelr reserves fully by the application of the notice rule, and previous similar experiences &0 to show that the notices given will not be availed of.” Ho explained by rolating that when hé{ was prosident of a savings bank in 1573 the notices given him in that time called for 00,000, The notices were for sixty days. At the end of that time only §00,000 wero taken, and adding: I cannot now remem- ber the provortion, but 1 o recollect dis- tinctly that roturos were made daily. This shows, of course, that hoarding. is going on 1 onormous amounts; and as evidence of this, L may repeat what a Louisvilie banker told'me yesterday, He said that the Louis- ville safe deposit had never donoa good Dbusiness and was constantly advertsing space. But since this period of currency Tamine the institutions have not a box to spare. Another amusing incident is that which took place at 2 local safe deposit, A man who bad closed his account, $12.50, at a savings bank, put it in 4 safe deposit, paying for his little hole, $5: Stoppod Shipping Currency. The banks here have shut down on tho shipment of currency to the interior, The scarcity is so pronounced that agents ure bidding o premium of $10 por 81,000 today. Institutions with large pay rolls have been compelled to resort lurgely to tho use of silver. Ona bank is reported to have paid 1 per cent for all the currency received ata big retuil establish- ment. The banks request depositors to use checks as much as possible, und where cash is required aro paying a large portion in silver dollars. Tho supply of bills at the subtreasury i growing limited and h caused a rofusal on tho part of the sub- treasurer to receive checks from the banks in payment for silyer dollars and currency for shipment and pay roll use. The sub- treasury has collocted its checks through the cloariug houso. An order of the sub- treasurer today that the banks must deposit caah agaiost the withdrawalof currency and silver is oue of tho results of the conference yesterday between Carlisle and Assistant Bubtreasurer Jordan, MORE ¢ RTIFICALES ISSUED, Further Action by the New York Clearing House—Features of the Stock Market. New YoRk, Aug. 8.—[Special Tolegram to Tur Bee.]—At the Stock exchange money on call was 814@5. Timo money and mer- cantile paper was neglected. The sub- treasury was §273,000 debtor ut the cloaring house today and paid the difference in gotd.

LoxNnoN, Aug. 8.—A meeting was held at the lord mayor's residence today to consider the financial situation. There was a large sttendance of legislators and financiers, Ambassador Bayard of the United States being among the number. Hon. A.J. Balfour made au address, in which he said that a gold standard could uever satisfy the commercial wants, the double standard aloue would provent dan- oscillations in trade. He deprecated solated action by single governments, and recommended an international agreement fixiog & ratio between gold and silver. ;The meeting adopted a vote of thauks to Balfour for his address.

Ho courts investigation, PATTERSON ON SILVER. What the Colorado Editor the Sahject. Cnioago, Aug. 3.—In an iaterview this evening Hon. Thomas M. Patterson, son of Colorado, smd: ‘“Tonight's dispatches give tho denial to all charges made by the single gold standard press to the effect that silver is an unpovular money and that it lies hid in the treasury at Washington without any demand. United States Treasurer Morgan has given out that no more silver certificates will be issuad by the Treasuty department at present, as the limit prescribed by law has been reached. What he means is that there are 59,000,000 standard sitver dollars, and certificates representing them, in active circulation doing the business of every sec- tion of the country. Thero is not a silver doilar left in tho treasury that can be fis- sued, because there are silver certificates already issued and outstanding representing every one 6f them. The Treasury depart- ment ulso says the reduction in the number of silver doliars in the treasury has been brought about by recent large demands for these dollars from the south to move its crops and pay off its farm hands. Domnnd for Silver Certitiont *There is also, according to the same dis- patches, an immense demand in New York for silver cortificates of small denomina- tions, which the I'reasury department is un- able to supply for the samo reason that pre- vents it sending the silver dollars to the south. These statements carry with them two lessons, ono showing that people are_in nowiso averso to silver money or its repre- sensative, the siver certificato, and that owing to the process of withdrawal by timid money owners there is a dearth of currency of small denomination which might be readily removed if the T'reasury department would but coin into silver dollars some part of the large amount of silver bullion now in the treasury. *Is it not a glaring shame that the south should be seeking in vain for silver dollars to move its crops, and the eastern cities should be suffering for small denominations of silver certificates for their needed com- merce, which is denied them, while there are 180,000,000 of ounces of silver bullion in the treasury which the department has a perfect right to coin into silver dollars and put in circulation either in the form of cer- titicates or coin? This extraordiwary fact should be well considered by southern mem- bers of congress before they succumb to the demands of President Cleveland's reference to anuisilver legislation. “The same dispatches tell us that the £100,000,000 of the gold reserve has been fully restored, with but little danger of its to Say Upon being reduced below that amount in the future; also that £0,000,000 or 8,000,000 of gold lately arrived hero or s on its way from Wurope fit was the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman act that drove gold from the south @ month ago, it must be the operation of the same law that brings it back. There is no ground for either claim. The gold goes and comes under laws and through transactions in which the Sherman law plays no appreci- able part. If Carlisle Would Only Listen. “If the Treasury dopartment was not so hostile to silver and_determined that it should be given no chance until atter con- gress has acted upon the Sherman law, S ary Carlisle would listen to the cry that is coming up from the south for more silver dollars and supply its wants by coin- ing the treasury bullion, which he has a per- fect right to do. 1f he would do this it is confessed by the Treasury department it would relieve the present demand for money In the south, and which it 1s auxious to ob- tain.” ‘Wil Sue the Cordage Trust. Nrew Youk, Aug. 8.—Henry Allen & Co., brokers, have announced that they intend to bring suit against the officials of the Na- tional Cordage and the other members of Cordage pool for whom thoy operated pre- vious o the collapse of the Cordage com- pany.

He would not say whether it would be of a civil or criminal charactor. Several members of cordage peoplo seen tobight say that they Qwe nothing to- Allen s Co. 1t was a failure on the part of members of the Cordage pool to como up with margins that caused Allen & Co. to suspend when Cordage dropped sixty points on the Stock exchange.

Theso fow, however, have becows greatly wrought up, and somo very bittgy feeling has boen en: gendered. o The wrangle is :&g} ‘fore to be regretted in view of the 4Gt that the June meeting givon under the ausbifos of the club was such an unqualifisdimuccess that the Com mercial club is anxious'to have another th: year, and has al submitted & propos tion to the Roads club, guaranteeing $10,000 in purses for 8 race mu\lng to be held under the same auspices this fall. Those who have witnessed with pleasure the vast improvement in the past two years in the class of roadsters driven on thesireets of Omaha can only deplore the unfortunate controversy, and hope that the wheels in the heads of a few individuals will not further imperil the success of the club by allowing the question of a few additional spokes to disrupt a prosperous organization, that has given its members much pleasure and complished such general good for the city at large.
