not unexpected. while the institution
had been "a very large one, its deposits
amounting to $50 100000 a. ono time, Il
was said that there had been a steady
withdrawal from SC for many months.
The bank was presided over by Or.

throughout the west and his policy Of
paying 3 per cent interest on bank ball

ers only paid 2 per cent. attracted an
enormous amount Of country deposits.

deal Of Inconvenience in utilizing the
credits. The feeling has grown So tense
among western bankers. that Kansas
