A Wise Precaution.

Denver.-The Denver clearing
house banks (and that means all the
Denver banks) determined to act in
harmony with practically all the banks
of the country in stopping the pay
ment of currency on checks and drafts
until November 5tl, unless the old or
der of things should be sooner re.
| stored. The step was taken by the
Denver banks quite reluctantly and
only when they were notified from the
other cities that the action had been
definitely resolved upon the Denver
banks must govern themselves ac'
cordingly.
The resolution unanimously adopted
by the Denver banks was to the effect
that, commencing Monday morning
and continuing unto November 5th,
Denver banks will not pay cash on
checks drawn by anyone nor upon
drafts drawn by outside banks. There
is but one exception to his rule.
Checks drawn by depostors to meet
regular payrolls will be honored as
usual in gold or currency. All other
checks will be received and paid in
clearing house certificates instead OF
currency.
This means that depostors will go
along with their business Just as
though the regulations had not been
adopted They will draw their checks.
which will be received by merchants
or others, and be deposited, and the
accounts of depositors will be cred
tied with the amounts. The checks
will be cleared at the clearing house
Just as before. and settlements made
between the banks in clearing house

Drafts made upon Denver banks by
outside banks will be treated in pre-
cisely the same way. Such drafts will

be paid in clearing house certificates.
The only change in business under
this rule will be that currency will
not be paid on checks or drafts-clear-
ing house certificates taking the place
of currency for the time being. In ev-
cry other respect business will pro
coed without halt or inconvenience of
any kind.
The banks that communicated their
intention to the Denver banks through
the respective clearing houses were
those of Chicago. st. Louis, Milwau-
kee, Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Cleveland,
Philadelphia, Des Moines. Omaha.
New York Minneapolis. Indianapolis
and Kansas City: and in each case
they notified the Denver clearing
house that the step had been definitely
resolved upon.
The effect of this action by the out
side banks was to cut OFF not only the
Denver banks, but all others from OBJ
tanning In currency the money they
had on deposit in them. Under the
banking law all national banks are
required to have On deposit in central
reserve banks certain percentage
OF course. this was intended to be al
ways available for drafts made upon
it. Denver banks could not do bust
ness with Eastern or other banks or
issue drafts upon them without de-
posts there to meet them. BY the &C
ton so generally taken by the banks
of the country these deposits are not
now available in currency. but are In
clearing house certificates.
Denver banks will honor drafts In
precisely the same way that their
drafts upon their deposits will be hon
ored by Eastern oanks.
