DR.. Woods, the president in an
interview made the following
statement, among others.
The Waters Pierce Oil Company
did US a tremendous amount of
harm. Two weeks AGO they sent
to all their agents ..and travelling
men in the Southwest circular
letters telling them that in max
ing collections they might take
checks on any bank,,in Kansas CITY
except the National Bank Of CON-
merce. These we're shown to
travelling men and reached the
country banks that had deposits
with US. Millions in country
banks deposits we're transferred to
other banks there and to banks
in st. Louis. Those circulars
helped to cause it in my opinion.
Our ofense had been to insist on
the pay nent Of a balance by a
bank in st. Louis in which the
oil people were interested"
From reports received by John
y. Royce, state bank commission
err OF Kansas. it is indicated that
Kansas banks had withdrawn at
leastl0 million dollars from the
Bank of Commerce in the last six
weeks, and therefore is no danger
to any Kansas banks except those
which are practically owned by
the Kansas City Bank. of which
there are two or three.

the foreign demand. At the pre-
sent time the direct influences
against bullish operations are the
limited purchases in this country
foreigners and the offerings of
CHEAPER wheat in Argentine for

they had taken. 1t may be seen
therefore, that a demand is likely
for all the wheat we have to spare
in which even there should be no
fear of cheap prices. In fact the
American holders seem to be in
a position to maintain fair prices,
if they exercise prudence in mar
