( A11 Suggestion that Additional Currency i bo Taken Ont Actcd Upon. yyp Washin.nton, October ,'H.?Trens- '['u ury olllcials arc agreeably surprised ul the iiiitiilier of banks throughout eai (lie country which have already itidi- ' caled their purpose to comply with At the sui^eslion of Comptroller of the 1 Currency Widtfeley that additional f(,l circulation be taken out. Although ma I lie suggestion was made only yester- ] day afternoon, a large number of tio telegrams were received at the department as early as !) o'clock this mornin.tr asking for additional circulation, W. varying in amount from .a few thous- ] and dollars lo two millions. Sol Wexler, vice president of the Whitney Central National Hank, of " " New Orleans, who, with other prominont New Orleans hankers, has had a jay number of conferences wilh Secretary (.'orlelyon in a.t effort to devise a S"J plan by which col Ion exporters could xor gel prompt cash returns for cotton Sci shipments, today said: "The .present situation can be relieved in hut two ways: First, by the restoration ol confidence and the return of money which has -been withdrawn 1 roin banks in the east during the recent panic. "Second, by the rapid export of our cotton, wheat, -provisions and other products to create a balance of trade in our favor and make importation of gold in large quantities possible. "The prompt and wise action of ^ Secretary ('orlelyon, aided by Mr. Morgan and other prominent New \ ork hankers, has gone very far toward restoring* confiileiice.. :i i.J. mone.v is again Ibeing r^J,-posited jn the 'ou.if inst illut ?iiVt of I lie country, ' 'v sou I hern situation is more dill^-itt| ?r solution, owiiej to ilie nee-I J'essary delay in transmission of ex - change hills |o Kurope, and the time j , required for the puivlia-e ;1.id ship , * inent of gold lo llii-x Count IV. "The Southern hanks are doing } ill. 'ir. pari by largely increasing their it'll j eiienl.i|ion with I lie assistance of the fo | eompl roller and the Secretary of ilici | Treasury, which enable them to for-I (ward ilieir foreign exchange by mail] jin Xw \ ork without requiring cur-'j 1 re.ie\ tor llie entire amount. New ! N"it< can. in turn, as soon as these ?i'l> reach the other side, import -"Id and then transmit currency in i quantities IItroiighoul the agricul- * jlural sections of tho country. J "Some efl'ort is being made by I la rue cotton houses lo have their ^ foreign correspondenls deposit funds in foreign hanks subject to' cable I ralister against advice of doeuments j deposited in southern banks with cotton bills of lading attached to come forward immediately, but. in my opinion this transaction will not be made on an extensive scale. However willing lac Secretary of the Treasurv mav be to a>si>t the exports of agricultural products ami the importation of gold, I do ,u>t believe thai there is anyi liing that he can do thai is practical and within t lie law until such time as treasury balances have been increased to an extent to enable him i" make large deposits of (ioveruinc'it funds in export points such as NewOrleans, (ialvcslon and Charleston, so as to enable banks in these ecu- t Ires to await the arrival of their hills j in Kuropc and the hriuyi.it;- of yob I auaiust them. "New York call assist Hies(. soiitliern banks by crediting their accounts daily upon recepits of telegraphic information of the amount of checks j "ii foreign ba.iks forwarded, thereby! a, enabling the Southern banks to cheek j atrainsl such balances in payment of I T} colled ions and weekly remittance ac- W counts to interior banks throughout I ?? the country, such transactions requiring no currency under existing condi- T t lions and merely -bridging over tlicij^ three or four days time required while I the foreign exchange is in transit in ! * ' this country. There can .be no per-j T) manenl cure il'or the constantly recur-1 m, rin.y scarcity of currency at this season of the year until there has been a decided reform of our currency systern, either by Die bill proposed by the a currency commission of (lie Amencan Hanks' Association, or 'by the A establishment. under proper safeguards against politics and partisanship of a central reserve bank." .
