Clearing House System,
1.-THE Extension and Development of
the Clearing House System was the sub
ject of an address by jerome Thralls,
manager OF the Kansas City Clear ring
House association, He said that the
clearing house was the department
through which banking must look for It's
proper development and improvement In
the future and advised the delegates that
a thorough familiarity with this branch
of the business was essential to their
success. He summarized the objects of
the clearing house briefly follows:
To facilitate the handling Of business
between its members and clearing banks
TO facilitate the handling of business
between these banks and those OF other
cities; TO foster and encourage sound and
conservative banking methods.
Mr.. Thralls said that 80 per cent Of
all banking business was done by checks,
the Improvement and perfection Of the
clearing system by mems of which this
business is handled was tho al-impor-
tant problem confronting bankers today,
There WAS other department OF the
bank where Improvements were so sought
after and so welcome as In this depart
ment, he said

Origin Of Clearing House.

Speaking of the origin OF the clearing
house. Mr.. Thrals said: THE clearing
house came about entirely by accident,
In the seventeenth century the seventy
banks of London were In the habit OF
employing collectors to go from one bank
to the other and collect the money on
checks and orders which they held. It
Is easy to be that this method in
volved an enormous amount OF cumber-
some work, One day two of the coIlec-
tors met in coffee house and upon COM
pairing notes found that each held the
exact amount Of checks against the other S
bank. Accordingly, they exchanged on the
spot and saved themselves the trouble of
the usual procedure.
Naturally, the incident gave birth to
an Idea and out of that idea grew the
clearing house Other clerks came to the
same coffee house and exchanged their
holdings with each other AT first the
bankers disapproved Of the idea, but later
they saw It's value and the first clearing
house was organized.
"rhe first clearing house system In this
country was adopted in New York city
In 1853. Since then IL has grown to In
calculBb BILE Importance In the world OF
finance"
Mr.. Thralls reviewed the development OF
the clearing idea to It's present stage
and went on to point out the improve
mentS that could be made.

Numerical Transit System.

The chief topic was the numerical tran
SIT system of banking in handling out-of-
town accounts and exchanges, COM
paratively new system and one that is
meeting with general approval through
out the country. 1t provides lor num-
bers in places of names Of banks and
the towns in which they are located
According to its exponents in the conVen-
tIon Yesterday, the system saves much
time and labor.
The discussion was in the nature OF
an educational exposition, and did not
call for any official action on the part
Of the institute either for or against the
system.
o. Howard Wolfe, secretary OF the
clearing house section Of the American
Bankers association. presented the
numerical transit system TO the dele
gates in an able manner, and then IN
vlted a general discussion OF It's merits

Its chief provision Is a plan whereby
