Ml.lp nt Contract Rates.
I A novel feature in tho shipments of nil I
reney to interim points, aud partleiilnrly I"'
! the South and West, by local batiks tliis f.ill
is the great extent to which the regi-deu d-
mail service is being lined for that p'irpi .
I instead of the money being shlpiH'd by i ;
I press as was formerly the general lUstom.
Tht reason for this is the inability of the
I banks to secure this year, through the Sub
I treasury, the benefit of the government eon
I tract rates for the express. As a result of
that the banks have had to pay what are
known as hankers' rates to the express com
panies, which are two or three times as great
i as the government contract rates, or ship
their money by registered mail.
lieietofore the treasury gladly gave to the
banks the privilege of shipping currency at
the governnient-cantraot rates, or rather,
shipped the currency for the banks at the
. " In ...1.1 Junull!
I KUftll IIIUUI1 1U lutuill mi ruiu ui.nmH
a clause, however, was Inserted In the con
tract with the express company when it was
last made by which sncb privileges should
only he' afforded to the banks when the
treasury needed gold. The discretion In the
mttter apparently rests with the Secretary
of the Tieasury, and he has seemingly de
cided that the treasury does not want gold
now. Consequently the banks cannot have
the benefit of the government contract rates
for xprcssage, although hankers generally
seem to think it would be better for the
treasury always to take gold when it can
without loss. The treasury ruling, however,
has not holped the express company very
much, because nearly all the country books
to whom mouey is remitted, and who have
to pay tbe cost of transmission, direct their
New York correspondents to ship the money
by registered mail, and Insure ita safe de
livery In olio or other of the companies
which make a specialty of that business.
If money Is lost by an express company
during transmission, the loss is promptly
made good, whereas, bankers say, it takes a
long time, and is a troublesome task, to re
cover tbe amount when the money is lost in
the nini s The government is net respon
sible; it only promises to take greater care of
a registered package. The cashier of a large
national bank which ships many thousands
of dollars every day to its correspondents all
over the United States, in speaking of this
matter said :
The conservative banker still prefers to
send money by tbe well-known express com
panies; but, to stive expense, since the gov
ernment refuses to remit for tho banks any
longer at government contract rates, tho
country banks are apparently willing to take
the risk of transmission by registered mail
with the guarantee of an insurance company's
policy for Its safe delivery. Notwithstand
ing, however, the registration and insuranoe.
the risks of sending larso sums of money by
mall are very great. A package of cur
rency which is forwarded by the registered
mall department of the postal service has no
distinctive mark indicating its value;
pencil receipt is given for it just the same as
for an ordinary loiter or package of mer
chandise. The iMckage of money is thrown
in with packages of merchandise of all aorta,
and no more care is taken of it than is taken
witli h box of shoes or a package of glov
I'he registry clerk's receipt is not a docu
ment that is as well known ' as satisfactory
as the receipt of tbe leceiving clerk of an
express company, and in case of the loss of
the package, the delay in the recovery of the
money is interminable.
"For instance, a few years ago a southern
liank ordered from its New York correspon
dent $80,000 iu currency, the mouey to be
Mint by registeied mail. The packnge was
put, or supposed to havo been put, in a cer.
tain through pouch, hut when the pouch was
opened in the southern post office in the
presence of the president of tho bank, who
was anxious about the arrival of the mone-v.
the package was nut there. Investigation by
the post ollice authorities failed to discover
its whereabouts, aud the Insurance company
w,hlou had issued a policy guaranteeing its
safe delivery was no more successful, and it
was a long time before the bank wag reim
mined for the loss. The inconvenience
caused to banks by the nou-rcceipt of money
on time couiu not be estimated, in some
cases, as in times of panic, for Instance, the
delay might be fraught with very ecrious
cousetuences. A year or so after tho loss of
the money referred to, other missing articles
were traced to a certain dishonest postal em -ployo,
and the secret of the missing money
package was then solved by bis confession.
"On the other band, the express companies
locate missing packages of money or make
good the loss promptly, without technical!
tics or delays. They are responsible, and
banks run no risk in shipping by them
their employes are chosen solely on tho
ground of ability and trustworthiness, and
they are therefore more likely to be accurate
aud prompt than postal employes, who owe
their places more or less to politics, not'
withstanding the civil-service examination. I
While it is true that by insuring money sent
by registered mall there In some guarantee
against loss by non-delivery, it is equally
true that there is considerable risk of loss
If the insurance company stands on tech
nicalities. The slightest informality iu the
observance of the terms of an open policy
issued by the insurance company renders tho
policy invalid, and would in the case of a
missing package caiiMi the loss to fall on tho
consignor. The technicalities to be observed
by a remitting bank in sending money by
registered mail when the delivery of the
money is insured by one of the local insur
ance compauies are very great oom.Mred
with tbe simple but safe methods of the
express companies, and unless tome new
regulations are made by the postal authori
ties for lending money by registered mail
conservative New York banks will certainly
prefer to ship by express."
