The Banks Defer Action.

At a meeting of the Richmond Clear
ing-House Association Friday evening 1t
was proposed that during the warm
weather the banks should close at IL
O'Clock on Saturdays. and, in support
of the motion, II was contended that the
half-holiday would cause no inconveni-
ence to customers, as all the Satur-
day banking business can easily be dis
posed of by noon during this season Of
the year.
A motion was also made TO the effect
that on and after October LIST the GUS
tom of sending notice OF paper due should
be discontinued. The custom, II was said
was a provincial one, and has long since
been abandoned in the larger cities.
Both motions were laid on the table
for future consideration. and Will proba-
bly, be brought up at the next meeting.
1t is said that the majority OF banks In
the association are In favor OF both pro-
positions.
