Tal- Ipert, vice president of the National City Bank, of New York, in an ad dress delivered before the Bankers’ Club here, declared everything has been dear except credit, and. as a result, "our expanded loans and de posits constitute the weak spots in cur domestic and business situation." Mr. Talbert gave statistics showing fthe gross loans and investments of all the banks in the United States 1907 has been somewhere in the neighborhood of $5,000,000,000. while the total increase in the gold stock of the United States since 1907 aggre gated $506,000,000. "This condition,” said Mr. Talbert, "although perhaps not so strong as it should be to justify and 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 4ie 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 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 ihe persis tent hoarding of gold by the French, he said th** French, not content with the mere hoarding of their ow'd 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 this 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 has been stated before—that New York the only free market in *the world for goid." 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 beer all loo common among mer chants and manufacturers, of finan cing themselves too largely through note brokers." In concluding, the hanker said it should be remembered that we are neither in nor approaching a period of speculation, and tfiat credit is in no danger whatever from that source now. 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.
