Special Dispatch to The CAR.

CHICAGO, June 5.--Loca1 banks re-
port that approximately all of the
money sent by them to the Pacific
Coast Immediately after the San Fran

The disaster occurred on April IS,
and Chicago banks were Immediately
appealed to for aid. Financial institu-
tions not only of California. but of tho
entire Pacific Coast. borrowed funds in
large amounts and such of them as
carried local balances drew on them
heavily. For this reason the exact
amount of money seat west as a direct
result of the disaster, cannot be esti-
mated accurately but 1t is figured that
not less than s1o,ooo,ooo was sent.
Within fortnight funds began TO

at first was of little consequences, but
as the Western banks began to recover
from the panicky conditions. the restor-
alton OF funds to Chicago was carried
on with increased activity, and the re-
turn how has been steady for some
time.
The movement of funds to the Paci
fic Coast has been a factor in the local
money market, although it has not been
paramount.
The predominating feature of all
times has been the enormous demand
for funds by business enterprises
However, the demand for funds by
the Pacific Coast banks went far to
sustain interest rates at 6 per cent
locally, and the easing of that has been
apparent recently may be attributed in
part to the restoration OF Western
