SHAW TOUCHES BANKS
FOR ABOUT $I2,OOO,OOO
Secretary of Treasury Calls Funds Into
National Vaults to Cover
Canal Purchase.

The Secretary of the Treasury this af-
ternoon made a call on the national
banks which serve as Government de-
positories fo- an additional 10 per cent
on the Government money now in their
hands. This call applies, however, only
to those banks which have a Govern
ment deposit exceeding 100000 at the
time Of the call for 20 per cent by the
Government made some weeks ago This
makes a total call of 30 per cent upon ali
the banks which had more than S100. 600
but only 20 per cent on smaller banks.
The amount Of Government money
now on deposit is about $780, 10000. but
by the rules of this call eliminating the
small banks only, about 81, 10000 will
be due on this call.
The first call directed that the funds
be transferred to various New York
b. 1ks. but this afternoons call pre-
scribes that the money be paid over to
York suDtreasurv.
The idea in this provision Is 10 reim-
burse the Government to some extent
for the money that is TO be paid on &C
count Of the Panama Canal, which pay
ments brought the gold reserve up to
the $50 OO0. 600 mark. Some such move as
that made by the Secretary OF the
Treasury this afternoon was expected
and no unpleasant consequences are ex-
pected to follow the application Of the
! order.
