SECRETARY SHAW CALLS ON BANKS.
Wants Government Bonds Resubstituted as
Security for Public Deposits.

WASHINGTON jan 1a.-Secretary Shaw has writ
ten to the banks which had substituted State and
municipal bonds for government bonds as security
for public deposits that he would like to have a
resubstitution of government bonds. This is in ac
cordance with the policy announced at the time
State and municipal bonds were accepted. They
were accepted only on condition that the banks
should use as a basis for circulation the bonds
which were released by the substitution. 1t is now
expected that the banks Will retire this additional
circulation and thus release the bonds TO be used
again security for deposits
The news that Secretary Shaw contemplating
the resembling of the arrangement made by him
last fall permitting the substitution of approved
State and municipal bonds for government bonds
as collateral for deposits Of public moneys in ma
tionaI banks on condition that the government
bonds thus released be used security for addi-
tional circulation to be taken out by the banks
market in the late trading yesterday. The Secre-
tary's communication however, was not in the
nature Of an order for immediate execution but
began: "It IS proposed to retire the State and
of making the substitution at their convenience
during the period ending August l. On December
I about $40 100000 State and municipal bonds were
held by the Treasury Department In substitution
for national securities Under the law only $1,000,
900 circulation be retired in any one month, SO
that II the process of resubstitution be begun at
culation the issuance OF which made possible
by the Secretayy's ruling to State and municipal
bonds last November will all have been retired by
August. II is understood that these bonds be
retained by the banks, be used again as security
for deposits of government funds next fall when
the crop moving requirements shall cause the usual
tions it may be deemed desirable again TO increase
the national banks circulation.

GREENFIELD HILL.
A BUSINESS CHANGE.

W. H. Banks has retired from the grocery and meat business, which he has conducted at Greenfield Hill since the death of hlS father, the late E. B Banks, in 1894, and Miss Mary E Banks, wnO was asSuclated with her father in the business, has assumed active management. The store has enjoyed for more than quarter of d century fiOurishing country trade, be- ing for many years the home of the To- Cal postOttice. Since the adoption of the rural delivery system trade has diminished greatly, d general failing off of local pa Lronage being perceptible. Under the new management it IS eX- pected that trade will revive and the best wishes of all go with Miss Banks for the success of her undertaking.
