elapse. in all probability, before the re-
sources of the regional banks will be
comparable with those of the great
privately owned banks of the different
sections II is not yet very clear, IN
the minds of men who are studying the
administration of the new law, how the
reserve banks are to be assured enough
business to enable them to pay eN-
penSes 1t is true they will not have
to pay interest on their deposits. That
is a very important advantage, to the
extent that they get the deposits.
The regional banks will have a con-
siderable TedisCounting business or
which to earn returns. But the volume
of this business. as shown by the ma
tional bank statements. is not nearly
so great as most uniformed people
imagine. For example. the consolidated
statement for the national banks Of the
country. issued November 20. last,
showed the total of notes and bills
rediscounted," and bills payable

the rediscoUnt business). TO have been,
during 1913. on various examination
dates; as follows:

O00: June 4. S72. 900. 900; August 8, $lO9,-
Oeo.000: October y, S1000ooCo0. This does
not indicate that the rediscount busi-
ness will be of such proportions as to
insure a very large revenue to the re-
serve banks.
Big Business In South.
Moreover. it is pointed out, a very
large proportion of this business is
done in the South, and would go to the
Southern regional bank, which is eX
pected to be placed at New Orleans.
Moving the cotton crop, for which the
South always needs large supplies of
money from the outside, is the eXpla-
nation of the large necessities of this
region.
It will be the aim TO place the re-
gional and branch banks where they
v I'll most readily fit into the currents
of existing commercial movement. This,
for instance. may deprive Denver and
Salt Lake. both. of a regional institu-
tional. The territory north of these
cities in the Hill railroad region. nat
UraIly does its business chiefly with the
Twin Cities; that TO the east. with Chi
cago. that to the south, largely with
Kansas City and st. Louis: ana that TO
the west with the Pacific Coast centers.
1t is therefore believed quite possible
that neither of these cities may have
bank. though political and sentimental
reasons are still accounted likely to de-
termine in favor of placing one in the
mountain region. But for these con-
Il is believed almost certain
there would be no bank between 81.
