NO TROUBLE IN CHICAGO.
Protective Measures By Banks Result
 In Stability.

Chicago. october 2S.--Nery little trouble was caused here today by the action of the Clearing House association, in linn iting the amounts of money to be paid out by the banks. Business today was almost entirely on a checking basis and was apparently normal in all directions.
 The banks adopted a rule of not pay ing out currency in amounts greater than S1O0 unless the funds were required for pay rolls. If depositors desired money in excess of $100 they were asked to take a cashiers check for the amount. In all savings banks the rule requiring legal notice was enforced if the depositors wished to withdraw an amount greater than $100 The rule was elastic, how ever, and the banks imposed hardship upon no one Money desired for the payment of srent. insurance policies, or for necessary travelling was paid out promptly.
 The only semblance of run during the day was at the Hibernian Savings bank where many depositors gave notice during the day of their intention to with draw. These notices in the aggregate, however were not of sufficient amount to constitute run. At one time, the Hihernian bank became so crowded that it was found necessary to call upon police reserves for additional aid in con trolling the lines of the depostors who were intent upon giving notices to the bank but there was no confusion worthy of the name nor excitement at any time. At the close of business for the day all the banks declared themselves as Satis- fled with the business of the day and were greatly pleased with the manner in which the business men of the city had met the change in the conditions.
 The belief is expressed here that the method used in handling the business of today will continue but for a short time

Berlin Advances Rate.

berlin, October 2S.--The sharp advance of one-fourth of per cent in the private discount rate today, after it had stood unchanged for fortnight, expressed the anticipation of the financial community here that the Bank of England will ad- vance It's rates within q few days, which certainly would be followed by an ad- vance In the rate of the Imperial Bank of Germany
 Under this expectation provincial bank CTS sent large amounts of bills to Berlin for discount
 The movement of the foreign exchange continues against Germany, ,.nctwthstand- ing the present discount. New York, Lon don and Paris rates all rose today and cable transfers to New York were again in heavy demand. The sharp rise in French exchange indicates that the Paris bankers are unwilling to give Berlin financial assistance.
 The great banks of Berlin are trying 10 hold together and prevent the exporta- tion of gold from here. but this will be difficult in view of the level of exchange rates. The feeling here about the finan- cial situation in New York is growing more treasured.
