Tal bert, vice, president of tjbe National City Rank, 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- pfe>sit§* 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, States since 1907 has been somewhere in the neighborhood of $5,000,000,000. while the total increase in the gold stock <nf the United States since 1907 aggre gated $500,000,000. “This condition," said Mr. Talbert, ‘‘although, perhaps not so strong as it should he 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 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 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 hy-Burppe, 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 said the French, not content with the mere hoarding of their own gold, at 4 ea V.Y losses of exchange, forced from .u% 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 yfce 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 Vnrk >s the only free market in the world for gold." Need Outside Money. Mr. Talbeft sAid an enormous amount of-- railroad financing must he done during the next year or two, and nearly all of it will be dofie 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. JGr. Talbert uttered “a word of cau tion agaJbft 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 ribr approaching a period of speculation, and .that , credit is in no danger whatever from that source now. nor will.lt 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.
