Of the determination to enforce to the
letter the provisions OF the national
bank act.
The call for condition. Il is now
learned was especially issued to meet
the assertion that the calls have been
made mt such regular intervals that

affairs accordingly.
The transfer OF the twenty eNamin-
ers today may he the fOrerunner or
