very valuable addition, as it abso-

sticking together in the rolls when

Sulating qualities of the roofing and
forms a minute air space between
the roofing and roof boards, thus
preventing dry rot, and keeps the

Bankers Say Crops Can Be Moved

"
Chicago. July 4-No shortage OF cur

bankers.
The country banks have been sending
funds in liberal volume for the past three
months. and many Of the banks here have
shipped the funds to New York, where
their balances are now the largest ever
held. Bankers say that they will be in
good shape 10 finance the crop movement
this fall and winter. and anticipate that
they viii not be obliged 10 call upon
New York for funds until late in the
season.
Bankers are now pointing out that
many Of the banks in the large cities
throughout Iowa have been acting as re-
serves centers for bankers in smaller
towns For instance, banks at Cedar
Rapids. Iowa, have acted as reserve
agents for forty or fifty smaller banks.
They have taken their surplus money and
guaranteed 3 per cent interest. Last fall,
during the financial stringency. they were
called upon to furnish funds TO the small
er banks, but shut down and notified
them that owing 20 the refusal of the
banks at Chicago and ST Louis and New
York to send them any money they
were unable to render assistance and send
funds TO the small interior banks.
This has prejudiced the smaller bankers
against the banks in Chicago and New
York. and led TO larger reserve deposits
with banks at interior centers But il
viii naturally operate 20 restrict the in
terior's demands on New Yorks reserves
