THE RESERVES OF NATIONAL BANKS.

Washington April Sin the Senate to-day Mr..
Teller Rep. COLI introduced a bill providing tina,
all National banking associations shall keep their
reserves in their own vaults He said there was
general impression that the congestion or money
in the Eastern cities grew out OF the practice OF
country banks keeping their reserves In New YORK
and other reserve cities The country banks drew
interest on these deposits instead Of using their
money In their own localities. That practice was
considered detrimental TO the business interests OF
the country He understood that in September
last the amount OF these reserves OF country banks
hold in New York banks S2O0.oo),0p0 This money
was Largely lent out by the New-York banks 10
stock spectators. His information was that 20
per cent OF IL was lent TO stock brokers and stock
speculators He desired the Finance Committee 10
inquire whether there was not some way TO stop that
evil banks ought not TO be required
0 keep all their reserves in their own vaults put
they ought TO be required to keep a large proportion
OF them, 10 prevent an accumulation OF
money In the banks Of the reserve cities
Mr. HOar (Rep., Mass expressed his approval
OF Mr. Taller's proposition. and hoped that the
Senator would succeed in efecting the reform he
proposed The bill was referred to the Finance
