large amounts of currency, and will
not return TO paying in cash until the

draw money were given checks Of the
bank instead Of cash. Commercial de
positors are allowed to draw the full
amount of their balances, but must ac.
ccrt the banks checks instead OF cur.
reuCy.
The rule requiring savings banks de-
positors to give 80 days notice before
drawing out less than $500. and GO
days notice before drawing out more
than 500, was also put in force.
The local banks declare that they
were compelled to adopt these rules
because of the action taken by the
banks in the east. which would soon
have drained this city Of its cash re
