BIG RESERVE BANK OPENED
Will Arrive in Ample Time-To
Replace Aid rich Currency.

Chicago, Nov 1.-THE Federal Re-
serve bank of Chicago opened for
business today in the Rector building,
but some days probably will elapse
before the bank begins to issue cur
rency of the new form known as fed
eral reserve notes. The s10,000,000 in
these notes which the bank ordered
from the federal reserve board in
Washington did not arrive. The delay
was ascribed to the large amount CT
work involved in engraving the hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth Of
new bills which will be made ready
for public circulation in the operation
of the new banking law.
When the federal reserve notes go
into circulation they will gradually
take the place of the Aldrich-Vree-
land emergency currency, on which
the banks now pay tax of 315 per
cent. The emergency currency will
be redeemed and cancelled.
