...weekly statement showing the financial condition of New York member banks; showing, among other things, whether their reserves are above or below legal requirements. Last week it quit giving out statements, ostensibly because the Federal Reserve Bank's reports had made them superfluous. But loud was the clamor. Ill-concealed was the suspicion of many a Wall Streeter that the suppression of the Clearing House statements was prompted by a desire to conceal the banks' lack of sufficient reserves and hence to give a false sense of security to the speculative element of the financial community.

This year the Treasury minted 388,000 of them and distributed them among the 12 Federal Reserve Banks. And not even at the request of many bankers would it mint more. In the New York Federal Bank district, members last week could only get ten $2.50 gold pieces each. Bonuses. Banks and investment houses are notorious for the low salaries they pay their clerks. Handsomest presents reported last week were First National...
