George M. Reynolds of the Continental and Commercial Bank and Hulbert of the Merchants Loan and Trust Company say they will urge stockholders to adopt the federal reserve system under the currency bill. They argue the measure will prevent future panics and bring elastic credit and currency, with banks likely to favor the changes as they assess reserves and overall impact. Reynolds adds that the bill’s amendments justify support despite fears of credit contraction.
