HOLDING ITS OWN SEVERAL FAILURES OF BANA ING AND TRUST COMPANIES. The Big Banks Meet All Demands of Depositorg-Icekord Pause Re lieves Situation.

In the light of the general excite ment the savhins banks -thought it wise to put into effect the rule re quirin4 30 to 60 days' notice for the withdrawal of ,euosits. and this-will prevent the withdrawal of mon-ev which would otherwise be put in safe ty deposit boxes. The savings banks, if they continued to make payments, would be obliged'to withdraw funds from the national banks, thereby causing an additional strain on the general banking situation:' There was not the slightest hint that any of the savings institutions was in any thing but the soundest condition and it was pointed out that the savings banks of this state are so restricted by law in inv2sting their money that there can be no question that all of the securities in their possession are of good value and readily salable in normal times. Banks Closing Their Doors. Ihe institutions which closed their doors today, with the sums due depos .itors, were: The JUited States Exchange bank. Harlemn, $600,000. Internaitional Trust company, about $100,000. The Borough bank of Brooklyn, $4," 000,000. The Brooklyn bank, $2,000,000. Wi-1-liamsburg Trust company, 'Brooklyn, $7,500,000. The First National 'bank , of .Brooklyn, $3,500,000. T'he Frist National bank of Brooklyn, the Williamsburg Trust company and th~e International Trust company were allied institutions. None of these companies ha,d any im portant business connections with the larger banks wihich are representa tive of Ahe city%" financial affairs. Paid All Demands. On the other hand a number of fav orable features marked the day. The 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 depcsitors and closed to day with all demands having been met. In the case of the Trust Com pany of America the run has well nigh spent its force as the great bulk of the depositors have been' paid off. At the close of 'business there were a good many in line at the Lincoln Trust company, but also there was 'marked reduction in the nuimber of anxious depositors. The most favorable incident of the day was that the stock exdh'ange was provided with funds ample to meet its imediate necessities by a money pool, headed by J. Pierpont Morgan, which sent about $15,000.000 to the .exchange during the afternoon. As all of the loans made today hold over until Monday, the stock exchange sit uation will not be a factor in the pro blem that tihe bankers may be called upon to solve tomorrow. A very en couraging feature of the afternoon's developmensts was a signed statement by Clark Williams, the newly ap pointed state superintendent of ba.nks, affirming the solvency of the local institutions. A further encouraging development of the afternoon, the good effect of which can se-arcely be over estimated, was .t'he decision arrived at unofficial lv to issue ele'tring house certificates. probably tomorrew. There will be a full meeting of the clearing house as sociation tomorrow morning at 11 o 'clock for the purpose of taking of ficial action for the issuance of these certifica.tes. The immediate effect of this will be to enalble the banks to settle -the balances between themsel ves with these certificates and there rele#ase large sums of currency for 'Clearing House Certificates.

St. ROOSEVELT INFOEMM St OF FINANCIAL CRISIS eal bv ...pproves Methods of Relief Adopted by Secretary of the Treasury sta Cortelyou. Washin:2ton, Oct. 24.-President Ha Roosevelt was today thoroughly in-H formed regarding the finaneial stress che in Wall street and Pittsbui and is by understood to regard the crisis as ov- Sti er, and also to -approve of the meas ures of relief- which Secretary Oortel you afforded both cities. SIg Both Senator knox and Assistant wh, Secretary of Treasury Howard had Stil direct information from Pittsburg by it telephone today which was of most the reassuring character. Senator Knox str told the president that all apprehen- sti s.ion in that quarter was dispelled. Secretary Garfield, who, on his recent extended Western trip, made finan cial conditions a special subject of an inquiry. viewed the situation with the president at some length. What the secretary found in the west was der also encouraging. He reported to the president' that Western bankers have gradually iheen divorcing them selves from Wall street influenceas un- hig til they are now praotically independ- ag ent, at least to the extent of not being fr embarrassed because of a slump in flu the securities dealt in on the New WI York stock exchange. Their loans str4 are largely secured by Western real wh estate and other local securties and yoi those which are based on Eastern se- SU( eurities have largely been readjust- be ed during the past year on the lower An value of the securitier.m The president, when asked if he Ca would make any statement on the sit- at uation, indicated that comment from Iinl him was unnecessary. $100,000,000 REQUIRED fei TO PREVENT GRB1AT PANIC New York, Oct. 240-Seldom if ever p had the veterans of finance seen a great situation saved so quickly and so effectively by such a Napoleonie strokeL Wihen th'e stock exchange closed every one was getting all the money he wanted. The close was marked by a memorable scene in -whieh -the brokers gathered around the principal tr,ading posts and gave three cheers for J. P. Morgan and the members cf the pool which had saved the day. The ag<rregaite amount of money which had been contributed in order to weather the storm and restore con fidence assumes truly colossal pro portions. Roughly estimated it in ludes $25,000.00. 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 Company of America and final ly another .$50.000.000 which it is uin derstood Mr. Rockefeller stood ready to advanee to meet furt>her stress con dtions-in all eensiderably in ex ess of $100,000.000.
