The money ( shipments from New York to the interior have been quite heavy recently , and the banks hero are anxious to continue this means of assistance to the general financial situation. The advance In tb < price of currency la attributed to the demands from the Interior for payroll purposes. MOXEY TRACES BIG SUMS Government Tries to Show How Walt * "Juggled" Bank's Fund * .

French Believes That by the Time Congress Reaches Financial Matter Stringency Will Have Passed Will Be a Lot of Talk , However. The approaching session of congress s not likely to pass any new finance eglslatlon , in the opinion of Congress- nan Burton French of Moscow , Idaho , vho with his wife has been visiting In Norfolk nt the homo of W. G. Dakor. Congressman and Mrs. French loft to- lay for Washington , where the na- lonal congress Is about to convene. Congiess may flirt with some now finance schemes this winter but no Important , let nlono ladlcal , changis In the existing financial system aio expected by the Idaho congicssman. "It Is only natural that thrio should ho a good deal of talk of piospectlvo Inanclal legislation and finance re- orm just at this moment when we are n the midst of something like a finan cial crisis , " said Congressman French n Norfolk. "It Is very unlikely , how- jver , that this wide-spread talk will hid any definite results in congres sional action. "In the first place there is every in- llcatlon that the backbone of the fl- lanclal flurry has been broken. The prosperity of the country has a solid enough foundation to permit a reason ably rapid recovery from the temporary ary setback. In fact , I think that by the time the business of congress Is well under way there will have ceased o exist an > reason for an Immediate call to new finance laws. "With the country in the evident process of adjusting itself the fact .hat presidential year is at hand will irove an effective check on any move ; hls wlntci to change existing law to any considerable extent. "There may be bills Introduced and : here will likely be considerable de- jate and discussion but of definite nc tion there will probably be none. "Idaho like Nebraska has a solid foundation for a prosperous year and Its present financial grief Is a gift from away. In fact Moscow and the country about reminds me very much of Norfolk and Its territory. " Congressman French is serving his second term at Washington. At the time of hla entrance to congress he enjoyed the distinction of being the youngest member on the floor. He lias visited Norfolk on several occa sions. Mrs. Burton French Is a sister of Mrs. W.
