TOO MUCH CASH!
USELESS MONEY IN PEOPLE'S POCKET.
BANKERS WANT IT!
People carry much more cash in their pockets nowadays than they did. Before the war, according to Mr. Frederick Hyde, joint manag- ing director of the Midland Bank. in an important speech to the In- stitute of Bankers in London.
Mr. Hyde, the new president of the institute, reviewed a new pro blem of banking created by the gradually increasing industrial and trade activity of the country.
"How," he asked. "are the banks to find the additional money to finance & revival of trade? AL rends the total of advances repre sents over 51 per cent. of the the posits, and cannot be increased in- definitely.
No Useful Function.
"It is obvious that the power of the banks to increase their ad- vances is conditional on an increase of their deposits, and the problem we have to salve is, therefore, how can deposits be increased?

on
Actual money held by individuals for their ordinary requirements, argued Mr. Hyde, was performing
really useful function. "There are," he added, "at pre sent in circulation currency notes
of the
close £300,000,000. This figure, of course; includes those curreticy notes held in the banks and in the tile of railway companies, shopkeepers, and others still a very large in erenee on the total of gold in cir- culation before the war on even the most libém estimate.
"If any considerable proportion of the notes held by the public could transferred to the banks and held by them as part of their ensh reserves, such notes would fufi, a double purpose-first, they would enable the banks to increase their assistance to trade by extend ing their advances, and second, they would provide the banka with a larger proportion of currency in their reserves without having to entrench upon the cash held by the Bank of England.
Wages.
"The question then is, how are those notes to be got out of the pockets of the people, where they full no useful purpose, and into the reserves of the banks, where they will fructify in this desirable
manner.
"Before attempting to answer that question let me put another. Who holds these notes, and why do they hold them i
In the first place we may as sume that, as wages are paid in currency, some part of the total represents the amounts paid out each week in wages. Is there, then, no way by which this cash can be retained by the banks and made available as the base for-additional advancest
We are encouraged to hope that we are on the eve of some trade improvement. The fall in prices is beginning to be reflected in reduction in the cost of living, while the number of unemployed has shown a steady decline. Both these factors, il continued, will tend to greater home consumption and ca improvement in trade."

NOTTINGHAM, Jan. 9th. Mr. William Walker, of Heador terrace, Wilford-road, Nottingham. who is said to be the oldest man in England, is 106 to-day. Ho ex- plained to me when I called on him that he attributed his long life to hard work, "games whenever he could play them, and plenty of good food.
He still takes a hearty interest in bis meals, and his daily bill of fare would horrify most old people. He begins with two cups of ten at four or six in the morning, ac- cording to the time. his grandson has to leave the house for his work in a coalmine.
Bread And Cheese.
A pint of new milk at nine is fallowed by bread and cheese and beer at eleven. Meat, vegetables, and milk pudding form a substan- tial ment at two o'clock, and at half-past four he has two more cups of tes, bread and butter, and pas tries. Mr. Walker is very fond of
