hsi' whose sources of Information are
US ally authoritative in such cases,
II, is officially predicted that under
Che new currency law only 10 federal
T reserve banks viii be named at the
beginning and of these only one will
be located on the Pacific coast. and
that inNSan Francisco. This will, for
the time being, dispose of the claims
OF Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle.
hut when the number is increased
either Portland or Seattle may be
: awarded a regional bank
The last -ohcially predicted" is as
follows: New York, Boston, Chicago.
81. Louis. Atlanta. New Orleans. San
Francisco, Minneapolis, Cincinnati
ana Baltimore. Among cities that
may be considered later are Phiia-
delphia and Denver.
II Is stated that though none of the
New York national banks has notified
ashington of its desire to become q
1eQeral bank, the likelihood of their
JolninE is increased by the amended
SeCIlons relating to bank reserves and
rounding OF bonds. Under most of
the former forms OF the bill, the pref
erence enjoyed by banks of central
reserve cities over the deposits of in
terlor national banks was destroyed.
Tor It was provided that these de-
[. posts should not count as part of the
reserve of the interior banks. AS the
sectlon on bank reserves has been re-
written. country banks may keep a
portion OF their reserve in banks Of
reserve or central reserve cities. and
reserve city banks may keep q por-
ton of their reserves in banks of
central reserve cities for three years.
In case a national bank does not
within 60 days signify its acceptance
OF the act, Il is TO cease to act as a
reserve agent If the organization
committee or the federal reserve
board so decide. In that event the
balances OF interior banks would in
evstably go to banks joining the fed
eral system.
The other great power that Wash
Z lngton may exert over national banks
IN bringing them into the federal sys-
TEN is conferred by section is, pro-
Nlding for refunding of bonds. This
section was rewritten in it's entirety
ny the conference committee. 1t pro-
Nidee-ha member banks desiring to
cancel their circulation may sell their
government bonds to federal reserve
banks 10 the amount Of $25. coo. 900
2 year But that privilege is limited
70 member banks; il is not conferred
on national banks staying out OF the
FEDERAL system and taking out state
cAaT ters.
