Washington. April Ain response to
a resolution adopted by the senate FEB
II last, at the instance of Senator Cul-
berson. Secretary Cortelyou today trans
mitted TO the senate copies of all letters
and kilograms of complaint relative to
the refusal of national banks 10 furnish
currency for the needs of the interior
banks during the financial stringency of
last fall The matter transmitted shows
THAI fifty-one complaints were received
fran forty-three banks. The complaints
in most Instances were as to the re-
auirement that the smaller banks should
make payments in cash to the larger
banks and the sub-treasuries rather than
in exchange. which necessitated the
TRANSPORTATION of large volumes of cur
rency at the risk of loss and delay.
Only Two Replies Sent.
1t appears that of the fifty-one COM
plants, only two elected responses from
the secretary. who explained that the
failure to make reply did not indicate
that efforts were not made 10 give relief
to the complaining institutions. The Sec
rotary says that in order TO save time the
