IS HOME IF Financier Warns of Credit Strain Resulting From Lavish Ex penditure of Money. DETROIT, May 27. Joseph T. Tal- b*rt, vice president of the National City Bank, of New York, in an ad dress delivered before the Bankers' Cloib here, declared everything has been dear except credit, and, as a result, “our expanded loans and de posits constitute the weak spots in our domestic and business situation.'' Mr. Talbert gave statistics showing the ' gross loans and investments of all the banks in the United Spates since 19Q7 has been someVtiere in the neighborhood of $5,000,000,00'$ while the total increase in the gold.stock , of^ho United States since i907*aggre- , gated $506,000,000. * • -j ’This condition." said Mr. Talbert* “although perhaps not so strong as it. should be to justify aftd ; (properly sustain our increased loans, still is assuring and shows that there is no substantial ground for alarm." Delight to Squander. Mr. Talbert caused quite a stir when he said that “evidence tends to show that individually and collectively we are a nation of spendthrifts. “It is Our habit and delight to squander and no amount of preach- 'idg will have any effect upon our prodigality as a national trait.” Mr. Talbert, in leading up to an ex planation of the drain on New York's gold supply by Europe, said the lend ing power of German banks had been strained to the limit; that Germany borrowed money here and sought to draw gold from us. In calling attention to the persis tent hoarding of gold by the French, he'saiH the-French, not content with the mere hoarding of their own gold, at heavy 'losses of exchange, forced from us, either for their own account or for that of South America, upward of $56,000,000 of gold. “The movement is going on and may continue indefinitely. “For lack of protection for our gold stock we have been obliged to sit helplessly and to submit to th'a forced exportation of gold, to our disadvan tage and discomfort. “This gold movement taking place at such a time and under such condi tions demonstrated the fact that often lias been stated before—that Nev\ York ’s the only free market in the world for gold." * Need Outside Money. Mr. Talbert said an enormous amount of railroad financing must be done during the next year or two, and nearly all of it will be done at home with difficulty and in all prob ability at a higher level of interest rates than we have been accustomed to in such undertakings in recent ‘ years. # Mr. Talbert uttered “a word of cau tion against the practice Which has been all too common among mer chants and manufacturers, of finan cing themselves too largely through note brokers.” In concluding, the banker said it Should be remembered that we are neither in nor approaching a period of speculation, and that credit is in no danker whatever from that source how, nor will it be in the near future. He added that courage should be tak en from the fact that thus far the promises of another year of bountiful crops are exceedingly bright.

General J.

General Hickman, commander of the Tennessee division. Is grand mar shal of the veterans’ parade. Although he. issued his order last week that Lwoinen should not ride astride., it was 73W>t« until the visitors had^ begun to vgfrther yesterday and lo-riaV'that real '’opposition to it became pronounced. This* opposition comes largely front sponsors and maids who had planned to don divided skirts or riding trous ers and sit on their steeds like men. and Sons of Veterans chosen as their escorts. Order Will Stand. But for every opposing voice there is one commending General Hick man’s decree, the approval coming from veterans and their wives and some of f he younger generation who do not approve of the present-day style. To-dav the indications are that General Hickman's order will stand and that in the veterans’ parade at least side saddles alone will be permitted on women's mounts.
