Excerpt from Do We Want an Elastic Currency? Particularly significant is the ebb and flow of money between the country at large and the great banking centers. Whenever, through the falling ofi in the need, money becomes idle, it is, of course, commonly deposited in a bank. But the bank, in turn, does not have use for unlimited funds; and, if it be outside one of the reserve cities, it naturally ships any surplus to its nearest reserve agent. He presently finds himself over loaded, and passes the currency on to his New York corre spondent. Thus, money which through the diminution of need has been rendered idle tends to accumulate in New York. On the other hand, if the need for money increases, at once a reverse movement begins. The local banker, where the increased need originates, calls on his nearest reserve agent for currency; the latter, in turn, applies to his correspondent in one of the larger reserve cities; and finally, the reserve cities have to fall back on New York. If we could follow these movements with certainty, we should have incontestable evi dence on the point at issue. As a matter of fact, such certainty is not possible. Still, several quite unmistakable indications are available. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
