BANKS AFTER NEW SYSTEM.
Admission Under Federal Cur

Fargo. - North Dakota national
banks generally will apply for adnis

law, according to Secretary William c.
MacFadden of the State Bankers as
ISOLATION. Though the new law is not
satisfactory in all particulars, the
banks believe it can be improved grad
ually by the cooperation of bankers.
The concessions made in the Sen
ate to the agricultural interests meet
with the approval of the North Dakota
bankers, says Mr.. MacFadden
It is probable that no action will be
taken by North Dakota banks with
reference to supporting the claims o,
st. Paul or Minneapolis for a reserve
bank until the cities agree upon one
or the other for the location of the in.
