over 3 PER CENT
Kansas Banks Bid for State
Funds.
Were $50 Bids Opened at
Morning Session.

Letting of state funds. which is in
progress today at the state treasurer's
office, indicates that higher interest
rate will be paid for state funds this
year than at any time in several years.
This fact is due partially to the ruling
of the attorney general, permitting
state banks to pay more than three per
cent for state funds and partially to
the short crop conditions in Kansas
which have a tendency to increase the
demand for money.
None of the 2S6 bids opened at the
morning session for state money was
below three per cent The highest bid
of the morning session of the state
trea sury board was the offer of the First
National bank of Independence, which
offered 3.55 cents on daily balance for
1000 of the state cash. A number
of other bids were for $50 and 3.25.
At noon only about one-half of the
bids had been opened. None of the
bids will be accepted until late this
afternoon. Requests for state funds
and amounts, as opened a the morning
session were from the following hanks.
