For the rediscount of commercial paper
the new law will provide as follows:
Upon the Endorsement of any of its
member banks, with waiver Of demand
notice and protest by such bank any fed
eral reserve bank may discount notes,
drafts and bills of exchange arising out
of actual commercial transactions; that
is. notes, drafts and bills of exchange
issued or drawn for agricultural. indus
trial or commercial purposes or the pro-
ceeds of which have been used, or are to
be used, for such purposes, the federal
reserve board to have the right to de-
termine or define the character of the
paper thus eligible for discount, within
the meaning of this act. Nothing in this
act contained shall be construed to pro-
hibit such notes, drafts and bills of ex-
change, secured by staple agricultural
products. or other goods. wares or mer-
chandise from being eligible for such
discount; but such definition shall not in
clude notes. drafts or bills covering mere
1y investments or issued or drawn for
the purpose of carrying or trading in
stocks. bonds or other investment securi-
ties, except bonds and notes OF the gov
eminent of the United States.
Notes. drafts and bills admitted to dis
count under the terms of this paragraph
must have maturity at the time of dis
count of not more than ninety days: Pro-
vided. that notes, drafts and bills drawn
or issued for agricultural purposes or
based on live stock and having a ma
turity not exceeding six months may be
discounted In an amount to be limited to
a percentage Of the capital of the federal
reserve bank, to be ascertained and fixed
by the federal reserve board.
ANY federal reserve bank may dis
count acceptances which are based on
the importation or expectation or domes-
tic shipment of goods. and which have
maturity at time Of discount of not more
than three months and Endorsed by at
least one member bank. The amount of
acceptances so discounted shall at no
time exceed one-half the paid-up capital
stock and surplus Of the bank for which
the discounts are made"
The new law will not do away with
any of the present forms OF paper cur
rency. though it does provide for grad
ual drawing in of the government per
cent bonds. upon which the national
bank note circulation is guaranteed. and
as these bonds are retired the bank note
circulation secured by them necessarily
will be retired. The 2 per cents, will be
purchased at par by the regional banks
for the government provision is made
for retiring about $25,OOO,O00 of those
bonds annually.

the voting of this stock will be placed
in the hands of the representatives of
the government in the board OF directors

mitted to do business only with their own
member banks. except that they will be
able to go into the open market for the

pal bonds and certain forms of bills of
exchange
The regional banks will make their
earnings from loans to member banks
and from their transactions in bonds and
bills of exchange.
Each of the regional banks will pay 6
per cent dividends upon its stock. These
dividends of course. will go to the men,
Der banks. or If any of the stock hap
pens to have been subscribed for by
private individuals, il will be paid to
them. The stock is not taxable. The net
earnings of the regional banks over and

Transfer of Capital.
The bill has been framed SO as to bring
about a gradual transfer of the capital
of the member banks to the regional
banks, and also a gradual transfer of
the reserves of the banks. which are now
held in the central reserve cities-New
York, Chicago and st. Louis. and in So
called reserve cities. 1t was feared that
IL any sudden movement of these re-
serves should be undertaken 1t would
and a financial panic. The law provides
that three years may be used in bringing
about the transfer of these reserves
The law makes the following reserve
requirements for the various banks which
are members of the system: Country
banks are required to keep total re-
serve of l. per cent of its demand de-
posts and per cent of its time deposits.
In the case of the reserve city banks the
total reserve requirement is to be ID
per cent of the demand and ) per cent of
the time deposits. Provision is made for
the gradual transfer of reserves. In the
case of the central reserve city banks
the total reserve requirement is to be
IS per cent of the demand and per cent
Of the time deposits, and the transfer
ID to be made gradually.
The government is to deposit its money
In the regional reserve banks, and this
money. added to the reserves which will
be deposited by the member banks, will
go to make up the deposits" of the re-
gional banks.

ers left from last year and seems to
have picked up a couple of good
men. II Schwartz lands 'em in the

Montgomery-An erratic team,
mostly manager and bluff. Nobody
seems to know where to dope them,
but they aren't being picked for the
pennant.
Chattanooga-They are spending
money every season there and the
law of averages is going to give
them something after a while. FL

a manager, but may do something.
The team played below form last
year. viii probably make fight
for a first division berth this year.
AtIanta-Bil Smith has a lively,
peppery team. The infield is a
corker. The outfleld needs one more
hitter. If it gets it-watch out.
The pitching staff is uncertain, but
very promising. We can tell you
