This is done that the large payments
into the depository banks on account of the
sales of the 3Os which the Secretary of
the Treasury desires to have disbursed as
rapidly as possible, may not embarrass and
distract the ordinary course of the money
market. The checks drawn upon the de-
posits of the National banks will pass

the money market. 80 -f7>1
The measure is very satisfactory to the

hoped here that it will be applied to New

ceived and disbursed.
