New York Financiers Confident Crisis Has Passed BIX SMALL BANKS QUIT New York, Oct. 29.—The principal events in the financial district indi- cated that the worst of the crisis was over, and that conditions were settling down to normal. There were no further bank suspensions, and reports were favorable for the resumption of most of the banks which closed temporarily last week. The engagement of $18,750, 000 in gold from Europe for importa- tion to New York was followed by the sensational announcement of sales of American copper abroad, which will further increase the tide of foreign money to this country to an aggre- gate of over $25000,000. This, with the rapid rise of good securities on the stock exchange, in some cases follow- ed by a slight reacton at the close, and the policy of the trust companies pot to pay out currency for hoarding purposes, all contributed to strengthen the feeling in banking quarters and among the public at large. Runs upon banks practically ceased, partly because recognition that they were unnecessary and unjustifiable, and partly because of the policy adopt- ed to pay large checks only in certl- fled checks on depositary banks. This system of payment worked no appar. ent hardship and was the cause of very little protest. Small checks were paid promptly in currency, and larger amounts where it was demonstrated that currency was required for pur- poses other than hoarding. It is still possible for a frightened depositor to transfer his account from one institu- tion to another by depositing a check in the depository for which he now has a preference, but he cannot with. draw large amounts in gold certificates to be locked in a safe deposit vault, as was the case last week. The clearing house began issuing loan certificates. The indications are that banking institutions will not pay out large amounts in currency, except to meet legitimate requirements of their clients for current business, It has long been the practice of trust companies and some of the smaller banks, in meeting checks for consider- able amounts to draw checks upon the national banks with which their re- serves are kept. If they pursue this policy until the end of the present orisis It will not be a departure from their usual practice. Such checks under ordinary circumstances are preferred to currency, and if currency is demand. ed in unusual amounts it will be re- fused unless evidence is given that fit is required in good faith and for other purposes than hoarding, to prevent which is the main purpose of this step. The institutions which closed their doors Friday with the sums due de | positors, were: The United States Exchange bank, Harlem, $600,000. International Trust company, about $100,000. The Borough bank, of Brooklyn, $4,000,000, The Brooklyn bank, $3,500,000, Willlamsburg Trust company, Brook. lyn, $7,600,000. First National bank, of Brooklyn, $3,500,000. On the other hand, a number of fa- vorable features marked the day. Ths Trust Company of America and the Lincoln Trust company, the two or- ganizations which have suffered most from runs, have been slowly paying out to their depositors and meeting all demands. In the case of the Trust Company of America the run has well nigh spent its force, after about $20,- 000,000 had been paid out. Upon application of State Attorney General Jackson, temporary receivers were appointed for the Knickerbocker Trust company, which closed its doors on Tuesday, after a run of by its de- positors. The aggregate amount of money which had been contributed in order to weather the storm and restore con: fidence assumes truly colossal propor tions. Roughly estimated, it includes $25,000,000 which Secretary Cortelyou deposited in the New York banks, $25,000,000 which the Morgan pool brought to the floor, $10,000,000 which John D. Rockefeller deposited with the Union Trust company as a means of stemming the tide at the Trust Com. pany of America, and finally another $50,000,000 which it is understood Mr. Rockefeller stood ready to advance to meet any further stress of conditions -in all considerably in excess of $100, 000,000.

Sr. Nicuoras 1x 1908.~Carolyn Wells has a series of quaint and humorous verses, which she calls “The Happychaps," which will run through several numbers of St. Nicholas. They will have plenty of pictures, made by Harrison Cady, the artist who has been illustrating Mrs, Burnett's “Queen Silver-bell” stories. Ralph Henry Barbour has written a new serial for the 1908 volume of St. Nicholas. It is to be called “Harry's Island’; and wil! carry on the ventures, adventures, and misadventures of the Jolly young folk of “The Crimson Sweater and “Tom, Dick, and Harriet." In all of the great cities of the United States to- day there are children who have missed their natural birthright. We told you about them last month in the special article, “The Child without a Home.” Another phase of the question is pre- sented for your thoughtful consideration in this month's special article, “The Home withouta Child.” Scattered over the land, sometimes in the country, sometimes in the city, are also homes that for one reason or another lack their natural right of a little child. Each needs the other to lead it to the highest happiness. The Delineator herewith undertakes the mission of bringing them together. For this purpose we begin with this number our Child Rescue Campaign. We intend from time to time to present to yon specific cases of children who need homes. They will be children for whom institutions in various parts of the country are trying to find the surroundings of family life. Sometimes they may be orphans, Sometimes they may have fathers and mothers who have neglected them. Always they will have human souls possessed of all the potentiality for making good men and women, provided some one will lend a helping hand along the rough way of life, and through a pew, right environment they may be a wonderful development for them in the future, In telling the histories of these children it is deemed best not to use the child's real name. For some of them are heart-breaking histories #hich it is better should not follow the child's identity when he or she goes into the new home. So always when we are talking to you abouts =hily it will be under his or her Delinentor name, But the photograph we show you wili be the real child as he or she looks. Washington, Oct. 29.—Miss Ethel Roosevelt, the president's youngest daughter, has been removed to the White House from the Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat hospital, where an operation was performed on her nose.

Miss Roosevelt was unable to walk to the carriage and was carried on a stretcher. It is ex- pected that she will be able to be about in a few days. New Advertiscmm ents.
