MPllOVMIUtlT IN THE
MONETARY SITUATION
REFLECTS STRENGTH
Better Position of the Banks,
Influenced Largely by
Gold Pool Operation,
Helps Maintain Confidence
The most Importnnt favornble develop
ment In the domcHtlc monetnry sltuntlon,
reflected In Inst Saturday's hnnlt state
ment, Is tho fact Hint tho prnctlco of
money honrdlnB. which linn hern rhnrstd
sgalnut tho Individuals and Institutions
In some of the Interior sections, Is abat
ing:. This deduction Is based tin the fact
tlmt, although the N'ew Yorlc bnnlo
elncc the beginning rtf September have
exported practically JO.OCO.O'W In sold to
Canada, to ho precise ?25,!112,G2I, the tmnlts
and nssoclntcfl In the New York clearing
houses hnvo been able to reduce the de
ficit below the legal surplus reserve re
quirements about 130,000,000 or from $47,
000,000 or thereabouts to. $17,080,630, The
total reduction of loans of the clearing
institutions last week wan $?t,090,S0Q. The
.banks now hold, In comparison with n
surplus reserve ot tills time a year ngo,
how only J23,581M less reserve.
The gain In sold, established by tho
Clearing House membeis. Is to nn ex
, tent due to new production of this metal,
but tho real feature of the situation Is
the moro confident feeling throughout
tho country, duo to tho energy with
which bankers and business men arc ris
ing to the present unprecedented finan
cial conditions and are nurmountlng
them.
Of the gold exports to Cannda, the
Ereator part wns on account of the N'ew
York city obligations and the operations
of tho JtOO,000,000 gold pool. Up to tho
present tlmo theso operations have been
only partially reflected In the foreign
exchange market, but according to ex
perts It Is only a question of time when
they will force a lower level In ,tho ex
changes, Such reaction as has taken
place of late has been chiefly duo to In
creasing exports of grain. Iron nnd steel,
and to u less extent of cotton nnd other
commodities.
It Is estimated that within the last
few weeks the foreign exchange credit
to this country has been established at
fully JIOO.OOO.OOO.
There has been but little chunge In the
local money market ns to actual rates,
and tho fi per cent, call figure Is still ex
ceptional. It Is to be noted, however,
that there Is beginning to appear a ten
dency toward eaBler conditions. Finan
cial sentiment Is encouraging over the
prospect that the practical operations of
the Federal reserve banks will soon bring
additional strength toward the Improve
ment In the monetary situation. There
cnulit bo no better indication of this
change for tho better than the return of
individuals and bankers to a moro confi
dent nnd reasonable procedure In regard
to tho employment of their funds. At tho
present ratio of decrease it would not ap
. pear extreme to predict that within the
knext two weeks, or certainly before the
end of the present month, the Now York
. learing Ttouso nssoclajcs will again show
surplus reserve.

Principal Sustaining Influence.
CHICAGO, Oct. 6,-Tratlo In wheat was

PORT BUSINESS BRISK"
DESPITE CLOUDS
OF EUROPEAN WAR
Foreign Commerce Hard
Hit, But Coastwise Trade
Improves Two New
Lines Established Last
Month.
Commerce between this port and fore
ign countries suffered severely during the
month of September because ot the Eu
ropean war, according to the report of
tho statistician of tho Commissioners of
Navigation, made public following a meet
ing of that body today.
Despite the war, however, the business
of tho port possessed mnny redeeming
features. Coastwise trade showed a
henlthy upward trend; two American
steamship lines established services be
tween here nnd the Pacific coast via the
Panama Canal, and tho exportatlons of
wheat, oats and gasoline Incrcnscd when
compared with the same month of tho
previous year,
Tho chief sufferers on account of tho
war are tho regular line steamships. Tho
Hnmburg-Amerlcan, North Gorman Lloyd
and Red Star Lines havo been compelled
to cancel all sailings. This affects tho
Importations of general merchandise,
silks, wool, cotton, toys, etc.
Only 13 regular lines steamships ar
rived mid IG sailed during tbd month.
Tho average Is about twice these num
bers. No vessels flying tho flags of
cither Germany or Austria nrrived or
soiled during the month Just passed.
Ninety-two vessels, with n tonnage of
2S2.356, came In from foreign ports, as
compared with 131, of 494.03S tons. In tho
same period of 1913. Tho coastwise ar
rivals totnlcd 393 vessels, of 493,922 tons,
against 3SI, of 430,200 tons. Foreign
clearances aggregated 100 vessels, of 336.
78) tons, as compared with 124. of 411,603
tons, In September of last year. Coast
wise sailings numbered 402 vessels, of
490.136 tons, against 3S2, of 437,395, in Sep
tember, 1913.
The American-Hawaiian Line, with thn
arrival of the pioneer steamship Hon
luhin, and the Luckenback Steamship
Company, with tho arrival of tho steam
ship Harry Luckenback, were tho two
new lines established between hero and
the Pacific coast via tho Panama Canal.
GERMAN GOVERNMENT SEIZES
DYESTUFFS CONSIGNED HERE
Holds Up Cargo Valued nt $500,000
and Destined for Local Plants.
NEW YORK, Oct. U.-A cable dispatch
to the Brooklyn Eagle says nine car
loads of dyestuffs worth $300,000 shipped
by Wnlter F. Rykes, of Walter F. Sykes
& Co., a local firm, from Basel, Switzer
land, and consigned to this country, were
seized op September 11 by tho German
Government.
A protest was lodged with the State
Department at Washington, and Secre
tary Bryan Is said to have directed Am
bassador Gerard In Berlin to make every
effort to persuade Germany to release
the shipment.
The seizure was made a day before
the Gorman Ooyernment Issued Its edict
forbidding the shipment of dyestuffs
nnd chemicals from Germany. It Is
understood that a large part of tho con
signment was to have been delivered to
several textile mills In Philadelphia and
other parts of Pennsylvania. A war In
surance of $16,010 had been paid on the
shipment.
U.S. EXPECTED TO PROTEST
AGAINST TURKS' NEW DUTIES
Increased Customs Schedule Follows
Treaty Abrogation.
WASHINGTON'. Oct. 6-As anticipated,
Turkey took advantage of the abroga
tion by Uer of the capitulations with ho
Powers to Increase tier customs duties.
Ambassador Morgenthau at Constantino
ple today notified tho State Department
that s new schedule had been put Into
effect.
The United States Informed the Otto
man Government soma weeks ago that
It did not tecognUe the right of Turkey
to abrosate the capitulations and that
it reervcd the right to discuss the matter
further at a later date.
Moat of the other Powers similarly af
fected by the Turkish action, with the
exception of Germany, lodged notice of
objection with the Ottoman Government,
and It la expected Turkey will be called
upon to rescind her action after the Eu
ropean war is ended.
Secretary Dryan was much Impressed
with a report from Ambassador Mor
genthau stating that he and the Otto
man Minister of War had just returned
from Robert College, where arrangements
were made for the matriculation of the
jiimaier a oroiner ana two or big song.

TO PROTECT COTTON CROP
Southern Bankers Talk Over Plan
With Treasury Department Heads.
WASHINGTON, Oct. G.-Formatlon by
Southern bankers of a "cotton pool,"
with resources of from MSO.OOO.OOO to i2,
000,000, to take care of the cotton crop
deprived by the war of a European
market, waa a solution ot the cotton
problem before tho Treasury Department
today. Its adoption and approval by Sec
retary McAdoo was deemed certain. L
Assessments aro to bo made upon well
bank to complete tho "cotton pool" similar
to the plan of operation of the exporters'
"gold pool,". now nearly completed, undor

noard.
Loans from tho "pool" will be mado
to cotton producers and brokers on a
b;isls of 6 or 7 cents a pound, based upon
cotton warehouse receipts,
"The "pool" plan seemed the probable
solution of the cotton situation to take
tho place of various Congressional legis
lative schemes suggested.

LONDON MAY NOT REOPEN
UNTIL AFTER WAR IS OVER
Brokers There Insist They Are Under
No Great Hardships.
It Is likely that the London Stock Ex
change will not reopen until after the wftr
has been ended. This, .at least, seems to
bo the sentiment in the British Metropolis.
A fairly brisk business is being dpno'ln
the street" under certain restrictions, and
tho English brokers feel that. Kb -,pt for
tho chances of catching coldeuamp
"niri, iiii-iu ta im H.WU.JI11U ,. . ,t- uihj,
and they would Just as Soon continue
they havo been doing.
The majority of members of th
Exchange would like the Stock Exchange
to be .opened, but nono of them would,
Hko to have .the Individual responsibility
for opening it. An increasing number of
members consider that It would bo unwlso
to reopen hefore the end of the war, and
they argue that so long as business can
be dono in tho street there is no hardship
for anybody. Tho reply to this argument
is that If It is safe to permit dealings In
tho stn'et it would be even safer (and far
moro comfortable in wot weather) to per
mit the samo business to be done inside
tho Stock Exchange. Dut the Individual
members, as a rule, are perfectly willing
to lave tho whole matter to the com
mittee. The discussion, therefore, works back
to tho point that unless the Government
Insists' that the exchange shall be opened
It Is likely to remain closed until ths
-nd nf tho war Is In Bight; and If It should
Insist. It follows that the Government
must provide some Incentive to the com
mittee and tho banks. This provision
would have to be In tho form of a guar
antee to th banks,' so that they should
not suffer loss from the continuation ot
tho present lonns. where desired by the
borrowers, until some time after the end
of the war. This condition would satisfy
tho Stock Exchange Committee, but
whether It 'would entirely solve the Stock
ENcnnngo dilllculties Is another matter.
It would certainly go a long way In the.
Tight direction.
