What Is puzzling the smartest banking men within the new deal In that the fin ancial situation Is getting so good, smcs oaa. They are pM--- not losing any sleep over It yet, but are fingering the gold Impor tation figures dally with some thing lebs than enthusiasm. Their statistics Indicate that more than $300, 000,000 Of gold f came In within I the last six weeks. Their In- PAUL MALLON tide data lead them to believe that the end of this flood stream Is no where In sight.

It. for the present, Is that the banks, already drowned In excess reserves, are having more water poured over them. It may not make much differ ence to a drowned banker whether the water is ten feet deep or 15, but the difference will be noticed when resuscitation work starts. Also, when the gold goes back to where It came from, the effect will be directly opposite that of a boom. There Is one hRPpy overlooked cir cumstance which has not yet been advertised. The government has learn ed that the recent Increase In stock prices already has brought most of the stocks Into a higher margin class.
