"This condition," said Mr. Talbert, "although perhaps not so r strong as it should be to justify and properly sustain our increased lrmns, still is assuring* and shows'that there is no substantial grouhd for alarm.” Delight; to Squander. Mr. Talbert caused quite a stir when be 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 ing will have any effect upon our prodigality as e 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 Herman banks had been strained* to the limit; .that Germany borrowed money here and sought to draw' goVI from us. . in calling attention to the persis tent hoarding of gold by the French, he said the French. riot coptept with the mere hoarding of their own gold, a-t 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 submft to th'r, forced exportation of gold, to our disadvan tage, and discomfort. "This gold movement taking place at such a time and under such eondi- tiom; demonstrated the fact that often 'lias been stated before—that New York ’s the onh free market in the ‘world for gold."

Mr. Talbert uttered "a word of cau tion against the practice which has Keen all too common among irier- chants and manufacturers, of finan cing themselves too largely through note* brokers." In concluding, the hanker said - it should he remembered that we art* neither in nor approaching a period of speculation, and that credit is in no danger whatever from that source now, nor will it he 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.
