TO CLEAR THE CHECKS
OF THE MEMBER BANKS
Federal Reserve Institutions Under
New Law Authorized to Perform
That Function.
Rediscount Rates Lower Than Those
Previously Fixed Also Permitted.
Controllers Statement.

Federal reserve banks are TO exercise
the function. provided for in the new
currency law. of clearing checks Of
member banks on member banks. The
board has authorized such operations
ny the federal reserve bank at Kansas
city. and will soon give a similar au-
thority to the federal reserve bank at
Chicago.
Checks of banks in reserve cities only
will at first he cleared by the Chicago
bank. With the experience thus gained.
the operations will be extended wher-
ever feasible
Lower Rediscount Rates.
authorizing all federal reserve banks
that they may take advantage Of a
lower rediscount rate than those pre-
viously fixed, the federal reserve board
announces the acceptance of the rate
of 5l7 per cent on thirty-day maturing
notes by the Cleveland reserve bank,
and of fiat rate of per cent by the
Kansas City bank for their rediscount
operations.
Suggestions have been sent to the
banks in Richmond. Dallas and Atlanta
that the rates proposed by them of
and o11 per cent cannot be approved
by the board. but the establishment of
3is and 8 per cent rate. now charged
in Boston. New York, Philadelphia and
Cleveland. would be considered.
The Chicago banks desire a fiat rate Of
. L per cent on all maturities, but 50 far
this has not received the sanction of the
board Rediscounts by the twelve banks
have not increased materially in the last
few days. but there has been an increase
in the amount of federal reserve notes
taken by member banks
Increase in Federal Reserve Notes.
The increase in federal reserve notes
may he accounted for by decrease in
clearing house loan certificates and emer-
seIlcy currency announced by Controller
OF the Currency Williams According to
Mr. Williams. all clearing house certif-
Gates have been paid off or called for re-
delnption- The total amount of emergency
currency issued by the Treasury Depart
rnent- Mr.. Williams said, was $3S1,530,-
coo. and OF this S127.272 900 has been re-
deemed The gradual disappearance of
emergency currency is presumed to be due
to the fact that banks are anxious to take
out federal reserve notes, for which thew
can put up the same sort of security. and
which are untaXed

To Open Zone Branches.

The Commercial National Bank of
Washington has decided to open a branch
bank at Cristobal, on the Atlantic side Of
the Panama Canal Zone. as well as at

Next Saturday President A G. Clap

for the zone, going via New Orleans and

Prado. foreign exchange manager. w. P.
Ramsey of this city will join the party.
he having an acquaintance on the Canal
Zone, to assist in the opening Of the
banks.
1t will not be necessary for the bank
to set aside any part Of its capital for
the Panama institutions. although 1t will,
naturally. furnish whatever money is
necessary.
This movement is another and an i'm
portant step in creating facilities for the
furtherance of business in South America,
although both branches will be in the
zone strip. and, therefore, American soil
The federal reserve board gave permits

Life in Local Bond Market.


Directors of the Lanston Monotype
Company met yesterday for the purpose
Of considering the matter of payment
of the usual dividend for the last quar-
ter of the calendar year.
That they adjourned without taking
any action is probably equivalent to a
declaration that conditions have not
improved during the last three months.
SO far as the Lanston company was
concerned; that war is again to be held
responsible for a loss to investors in
this corporation to the extent of $780,
600. which. with the $4,000 lost for the
third quarter. lessons shareholders in
comes for the year by $4,000.
The company has been paying s per
cent per annum dividends for Ave years,
and probably would have been able to
continue. according to President ].
Maury Dove. but for the practical de-
struction of it's foreign business in the
warning nations.
The passing of these dividends has
been the most serious loss Washing
ton investors have sustained. the only
other local cut today being so cents a
