LIMITED PAYMENTS.
They Are Made the Rule on All De-
mands for Cash.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 2S.-There was
no appearance of a run on any of the
banking institutions here when they
opened for business this morning, and
the leading bankers reiterated that they
had complete confidence in the situa-
ton.
The clearing houses yesterday having
decided to issue certificates that action
was put into effect today. 1t applies to
thirty principal local banks and trust
companies of this city The rule not

WILL KEEP THEIR CASH.
Chicago Banks Decide to Pay Deposi-
tors With Checks.

Chicago, Oct 28.-In order that the
money of every depositor may be safe
guarded, the banks of Chicago today
went largely on a checking basis. They
did this because the present financial
furry has forced such a course upon
them to prevent the withdrawal of cur
rency from Chicago to other cities.
But if for a short time the depositor
does not get in the form of cash his
money as freely as heretofore, he will
have the comfort of knowing that no
one else can get it, that it will be abso-
lutely safe, and be held for his account
change. Meanwhile he will receive in
exchange for his own check the check
of his bank-something as good as
cash.
The money of the savings depositors
will be preserve far beyond all dan
ger of runs that might be precipitated.
Through the enforcement of the rule
requiring a notice of from 80 to so
days on the withdrawal of savings, the
money of small depositors will be held
intact till the furry is over.
you can't get your money, but it's
safe" is the way one banker put it.
1t is the unanimous opinion of the
bankers that the precautionary meas
ures adopted will prevent Chicago
banks from being drained of their cash
by the outside demand for money
while at the same time runs on the
local institutions will be made i'm
possible.
The plan is to pay out no more cash
than is absolutely necessary. Factories
and other firms will receive cash as
usual for their weekly pay rolls, but
in case the present stringency should
be prolonged even this disburs ement
may be curtailed.
Commercial depositors will be met
with the announcement that the nay
ment of currency is to be restricted as
far as possible. A business man may
be met with objections if he asks for
cash to settle an obligation, but he can
have his entire balance, SO long as he
takes it in the form of a check that can
go through the local clearing house. In
this way the cash will be held in Chi
cago with no chance of being drawn
outside.

CAN'T BUYMARION BONDS
Attorney General jackson Holds They
Are Not Purchasable.

Fred S. Jackson, the attorney gen.
eral, has delivered an opinion to the
effect that the $4,000 worth of bonds
offered by the city of Marion are not
available for purchase by the state
school fund commission. This opin-
ion is based on the fact that the bonds
were not properly submitted to the
voters of Marion when the question of
their issue was at stake.
They are waterworks bonds and
the question submitted to the
voters was whether or not the
bonds should be issued for the pur-
pose of purchasing or constructing"
a waterworks system for the city.
1t is held by the attorney. general
that this proposition was an invalid
one as it proposed a dual question to
the voters and because of this dual
question they had no chance to ex-
press their desires on the proposition.

New York, Oct 2S.-Prominent
bankers and merchants. in brief state
ments and interviews made public to-

VIM. A. Nash. president of the

situation last week. said:
1--WE should recover rapidly from
the present trouble, and things in

PAYING WITH CHECKS.
Chicago Banks Are Hanging On to
Their Cash.


Chicago, Oct. 2S.-The banks of this
city are today largely upon a checking
basis. They refuse to pay out large
amounts of currency, and will not re-
turn to paying in cash until the finan.
cial condition in the east improves De-
positors seeking today to withdraw
money were given checks of the bank
instead of cash. Commercial depoSitors
are allowed to draw the full amount of
their balances, but must accept the
banks checks instead of currency.
The rule requiring savings bank de-
positors to give thirty days notice be-
fore drawing out less than $100, and 60
days notice before drawing out more
than $100 was also put in force.
The local banks declare they were
compelled to adopt these rules because
of the action taken by the banks in
the east, which would soon have drain
ed this city of it's cash resources.
Within an hour after the opening of
the doors fully 400 people were lined up
at the withdrawal windows of the Illi-
noiS Trust and Savings bank, which has
the largest number of savings accounts
in the city. Depositors were allowed,
if they wished to take out sums under
800, but for all amounts over, the full
legal notice was required. The majority
of those in the banks during the early
part of the day gave notice of their in
tention to draw money. There was no
excitement.
In the Hibernian Savings bank about
100 people had given notice of with
drawal by II o'clock and many more
were waiting in line. At all other saw
ings banks business appeared to be on
a normal basis.
Depositors having checking accounts
did not appear to be worried in the
ceeded upon normal lines in all the
banks.

certificates. 1t was also resolved that
savings banks should require from
| their depositors the notices provided
for in connection with such accounts.
1t was stated that the action was
| taken to prevent an unusual drain up
on cash balances of the Chicag go
banks from outside Institutions. No
question of the SOlVency of the local
houses is involved, members of the
committee stating that none of the
Chicago banks has asked for nor is in
need of assistance.
The meeting was attended by a
committee from the Milwaukee clear
ing house association, who informed
the Chicago bankers that similar ac-
ton is to be taken in the Wisconsin
city tomorrow.
Similar Action i'm St. Louis.
st. Louis, Oct. 28.-For the pur-
pose of protecting st. Louis interests
against the stringency existing in the
east, the st. Louis clearing house as
ISOLATION, at a meeting, decided by un-
animous vote to issue clearing house
certificates. The action of the clear
ing house has two aims. The first is
to take precautions against the con-
centration of financial demands of
outside cities and territories on ST.
Louis. The second is to assure the
public of st. Louis that the local in
stitutions are strong, and are united
for safeguarding the interests of st.
Louis business institutions and deposi-
tors
Hundred Dollar Limit at Omaha.
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 2s.-Au nation
al banks in Omaha ceased paying cur
rency in more than 500 amounts this
morning and on small accounts only
20 per cent of the amount on deposit
will be paid. For amounts above 20
per cent of deposits clearing house
certificates are issued.
Generally business men are salts
fed with the certified check system,
but the small depositors are uneasy
over the situation.
The City Savings bank, the only one
in this city, this morning took advan-
tage of the 60 day clause and is not
paying cash under any consideration.
All state banks in Omaha have taken
similar action to that of the national
banks
Denver Joins the Procession.
Denver, Col, Oct. 2S.-Quiet prevailed
at the various bankin~ houses in this
city when they opened for business to-
day. although some patrons of the
banks who had deposited all their ready
cash Saturday protested when they
learned that they could not draw out
more than 500 in cash this week and
would have to use clearing house GER
tificates for the balance of their needs.
This rule was in accordance with a
resolution adopted by the clearing
house association last night and will be
in effect until November 5.
John c. Mitchell, secretary of the
clearing house association, said today
that all the trust companies and banks |
Of Denver were on a conservative basis |
and he anticipated no hardship would |
result from the new order.

The Pressure on the New York
Banks Is Abating.
No New Runs and Old Ones Are
Dwindling Away.

New York, Oct. 2S.-The financial
situation continued to show encour-
aging evidence of Improvement up to
noon today, as exceptionally large en-
gagements of gold had been made
abroad and the stock market was ad-
vancing on the general demand for
securities at low prices. The gold en-
gagements now total $12,OOO,OOO and
already exert a very helpful in
f1uence. There are considerable or
ders from abroad for American Sc
curitieS which must be paid for in
gold, and this will augment the specie
imports.
Investigation also discloses an ex-
cept1onally large number of transfers
of stock upon the books of the va
rious corporations, having headquar-
ters in New York, indicate heavy in
vestment buying. There are practi-
cally no margin transactions on the
stock exchange at this time No fail
ures have been reported anywhere in

ton which closed its doors, it was

The pressure upon the banks in
New York is dintinctly abating. No
new runs have been reported and
those begun last week have dwindled
into almost insignificant proportions.
Wall street has assumed practically
its normal appearance, the crowds be-
ing no larger than in the days of fin
ancial quietude. The adoption of
clearing house certificates and the re-
fusal to pay cash for boarding pur-
poses has produced no apparent ex-
citement whatever in this city.

WILL GET MORE MONEY.
Secretary Wilson Says Farmers Will
Do Better Than Last Year.

Washington, Oct. 2s.-Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson said last night that
the farmers will get more money for
their crops this year than they got for
those of last year The total value of
all farm products in 1906 was Sc, 794, ,000,-
O00 This enormous sum not only means
that there will be no hard times for
the country, but that the prosperity
which has blessed it for dozen years
will continue.
Secretary Wilson is unable to see any
danger in the financial situation, be-
lieving it is entirely confined to the
speculative element in New York, and
he is confident that the next few weeks
will show that the farm and not Wall
street is the real barometer of our fin
