TO sTRENcTHEN WORKING BAL
ANcE or TREASURY.
Call Practically Wipes Out All Depos-
lts Of Government Funds In Ma
siitlohal Banks Subject to Check.

Washington, June 30.--A call on ma
tional depository banks for a return
to the treasury Of government funds
aggregating approximately $4,000, 900
was made by Secretary Of the Treas
ury MacVeigh. OF this amount
81, 200, 900 have been called for July
is and S16,OO0,O00 for August 15
Balances in all active repositories
are uniformly reduced to the lowest
amount which the daily needs Of the
government will permit.
This call will practically wipe out
all Of the deposits Of government
funds in national banks subject to
check by the treasury of the United
States except about $S7 1000, 900, which
is held in active account and neces-
sary to meet checks of government
disbursing officers and $1,000, 900
which will be allowed to remain in
81, 900 lots in such of the one thousand
smaller national banks as desire to
retain their designation as national
bank repositories.
The working balance is more than
$43 100000 which will be increased
by the call to approximately S6S,000,-
600. The low state of the government
working balance made its strengthen
ing necessity, and thus augmented,
the treasury department will have am
pie funds for at least some months.
1t is expected, however, that before
the coming December an additional
issue OF Panama bonds or the further
issue Of treasury receipts Of indebted
ness will be found necessary.
