A POSITION OF NECESSITY

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The new rule will not affect us in any way
but from the nature Of our business as large deal
ers in commercial paper in position TO OBJ
serve the effect from neutral ground Our observa
ton thus far has been. much to our amazement
that your valued journal has taken a most erro-
neous position the entire question and In your
editorial OF last Friday gathered a collection Of
facts which were in almost every particular incor
rect.
The position taken by the NewYork banks IN
making a charge for country checks is based
upon absolute necessity In crediting checks to the
accounts OF their customers on the day OF deposit
the bank in New-York gives the customer the
privilege TO draw against items which only become
cash TO them Che New-YoTk bank) within a space
Of from seven to fifteen days. The New-York
bank. therefore. is losing the interest consumed
during these seven or fifteen days required for
collection on this country check. In addition 10
this loss OF interest the bank is called upon TO pay
a charge of collection to its country correspondent.
who at some distant point is collecting this money
for the New-York bank. The burden Of loss Is
thereby put entirely on the New-York bank, while
the country bank which IL is drawn in the mean
time gets all the benefits OF the undistuTbed bal
ance. This, 10 mind is the essential point in
the whole question. We have had numerous in
oulries from our extensive clicnage throughout the
country. and we have Invariably replied that me
tax Of the New-York banks is perfectly just one.
and answer has been embodied IN the follow
ing remarks: We reason why the sub
stratum OF the business in this country Oho bank
ing business) should be conducted any portion
on a losing basis while all other lines OF bust
ness entering into period of prosperity Any
good merchant who discovers any part of his bust,
ness showing loss VIII soon recify MS errors.
Many Of our clients throughout tho country are
taking this view OF It. and in order to overcome
the question have concluded TO increase their INES
Of deposit in the Now-York banks so as TO nave
a method OF settlement satisfactory TO their mer-
chandIse creditors in New-York.
We think your journal VIII serve sood purpose

IN FAVOR OF THE TAX.
A LEGITJMA

A LEGITIMATE CHARGE.
THE BANKS ONLY INTENDING TO GET PAY FOR
CHARGES THEY MUST MEET
TIC the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir; In our opinion, the action Of the New-York
Clearing House banks in laying a charge on out
oi-town checks deposited with them for collection
Is a legitimate effort to avoid expense which
they should never have borne. For every check
drawn on an interior bank and deposited with n
New-fork bank the latter has had to pay n COL
lection fee to the interior bank making the coec-
ton. Now. however the New-York banks propose
to compel the depostor OF such checks 10 pay that
Zee. The banks do not expect profit from the
charge: they expect only to secure in advance the
charges which they will have to pay afterward
when the items settled for. We think this per-
fectly reasonable. The merchants have been get
ting A banking convenience for nothing. because
competition among the banks for accounts induced
the latter to give gratuitous service in the hope
of recovering the from the OF increased de-
posts.
This nducement-namely. TO collect at par-as Il
weapon OF competition has outlived its usefulness.
Whom all the banks had reached the dead
level Of gratuitous service the folly OF 1t all became
an outspoken grieTance among them, and the
mutually OF dissatisfaction reused them TO cor
certed effort for remedy. So much for the pro-
priety Of IT,
There is one point Of criticism which we would
make. 1t is that the minimum charge OF 10 cents
appears to have been adopted without due consid-
done with small checks AS publishers. we are IN
Of fe So or Such OF checks the
minimum is excessive The ause in the Clearing
House rules which permits the bulkng of checks

modification of the charge. But we feel sure that
equity Will be made by the Clearing House in time

which they have to pay out Ths1 mgr are

Sir Regarding taxes country checks. much
has TO be said pro and con But, perhaps, after
summing up all considerations on the subject, only
one conclusion can be arrived at, and that IS that
consider banks as a rule have been 100 lenient
with small depostors in placing country checks TO
their credit. But where balances warrant some
liberality should be extended and no charge made
for collection. in many instances no interest is
allowed current balances and in these cases col
