house committee shall have power 10
make and enforce rules for collections
outside of New York city and to require
banks to charge for these collections
at a rate to be fixed from time to time
by the committee.
The rules proposed are as follows:
For items collected in the accounts or in
dealings with the government Of the United
States. the state Of New York, or the city OF
New York. and for Items collected in the
cities of Boston. Mass: Providence r. l.:

collecting banks. and the same shall not be
governed by the provisions Of these rules and
For nil items from whomsoever received
Except on those points declared discretionary
in section q. payable at POINTS in Connec lieut.,
Delaware, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky Maine,
Maryland. Massachusetts, Michigan. Missouri
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York.
Ohio, Pennsylvania. District of Columbia,
Vermont. Rhode Island. Virginia. West Vir
gjnia and Wisconsin. the collecting banks
shall charge not less than one-tenth of l per
cent Of the amount Of the items respectively.

of dollars year to the clearing house
banks. 1t renders hundreds of small
accounts not only Improbable. but
source Of loss. With the present low
rate of interest the profit OF an account
with an average balance Of $1,000 is
only about Sc a year.
The regulations include a fine OF
$1,000 for the first violation and expul-
sion for the second violation.

weeks previous has had the effect of
bringing a great deal of cash to New
YORK IN the hope of profitable employ

the other hand the movement to the

money has gone out of the banks, how
ever. and may influence rates for few
days next week. To what extent this
will prove true depends largely upon
the volume of interior money which
will be forwarded to this city
The statement, so far as current
operations are concerned is rather con-
fusing. 1t is to be noted that while the
actual cash in banks declined $4,000 600
and one banks loss more than ac-
counts for this-the excess reductf IN is
only 1888. 900. The deposit changes
which reduced reserve requirements by
over $4,000, 900 explain this showing The
loan contraction probably reflects the
contamination of several special oper-
ations. and the liquidation of spacula-
tive accounts. 1t is also not impossible
that 1t indicates a thorough absorption
of the large volume of American Sc
curities returned from Europe. and in
a lesser degree the contra ction in for
eign credits. Regarded as q whole the
statement is favorable. in that it fore
casts continued ease in money. The
time is rapidly approa ching when the
movement of money will be in this di-
rection. and reserves will be strength
ened materially. although they cannot
be said to be unduly low at present"
