period on tho Withdrawals of deposits but TO
which notice of intended Withdrawals will ex-
pire from time to time.
The New York savings banks report, how

already have been revoked and that new de-

Consideration was given to reports forwarded
to Wall street OF the condition OF the Illinois

official
The degret OF reinforcement OF position shown
" the report was matter of satisfaction, and
was regarded as confirmation of the contention

effected by withdrawals from New York.

liked was the renewed rise in the premium on

MOVE INTO KANSAS.
Kansas City Commission Men Want
Charters in Topeka.

A large delegation of Kansas City,
Kan, citizens arrived in Topeka this
afternoon to appear before the state
charter board and ask for the granting
of charters to commission companies
operating on the Kansas City, Kan,
board of trade. The charter board
refused a charter to the Christy COM
pany several days ago on the ground
that the proposed organization pro-
poses to deal in futures, thus render
ing it contrary to the bucket shop law
of the state.
The state of Missouri has passed
law putting a rs cent tax on each
transa ction of the Kansas City, Mo-,
board of trade, and the Missouri
traders want to move en- masse over
into Kansas. The Kansas City, Kan,
people are very anxious to have the
charter board grant the charters.
Attorney General Fred Jackson is
the chief stumbling block. He says
that the charter can't be granted in
its original form.
The Kansas city delegation APP
peared before the charter board about
8 p. m. Those representing Kansas
City were the following: w. w. Rose,
G. c. Christy, A. L. Berger, F. L.
