Bankers Expect . Heavy Drain From
washington IN January.


In we'll informed banking circles il 10
expected that the Secretary Of the Treasury
will issue a call early In January for part
Of the Government deposits held by banks
throughout the country. Il is recognized
that the amount will bo large. but few
bankers yesterday cared to make an esti-
mate. Generally 1t was believed that the
total would not fall below e25.OOO.OOO.
I Washington dispatches yesterday said
that the working balance in the Treasury
had been reduced to SS.SOO.OOO. In the
current month. II was said. the revenues
show about 80 6.OOOO 900 less than the revenues
for last December. but the expenditures
are S7OO0.OOO greater. There have been
very heavy decreases in the receipts from
customs and internal revenue. the principal
sources Of Government income
In normal years the expenditures Of the
Government in the first part Of quarter
greatly exceed the receipts There IL no
reason to expect that with the constant de-
crease of revenue the excess Of expendi-
lures over receipts in January will not he
much greater than in any month Of the re-
cent past.
Secretary COrteIyou is still i'll and as far
as the banks have learned no official action
has yet been taken. II is expected. how
ever, that the deposits will be- withdrawn
gradually, that the Withdrawals will not
bear heavily on any particular locality and
that they will be accomplished in such a
way as TO interfere as little as possible with
the January interest and dividend dis
bursements.

"Let me help yOu.' said Tunney.
He grabbed the two and a struggle fol-
lowed which lasted until the patrol wagon

were Patrick O'Mara OF eD3 Sixth avenue
