OVERDRAFT EDICT
AROUSES BANKERS
Williams's Letter Ordering Halt
on Certain Check TranSaC-
ton CenSured.

New York bankers were aroused yes
to-day over a letter from John Shelton
Williams, Controller Of the Currency,
calling on them TO stop overdrafts.
The letter was more OF a mandate than
a request that they comply with GER
tain restrictions which New York
bankers feel that they themselves are
able 70 regulate.
The Controllers letter said that the
matter Of overdrafts was objection
able" and would not be tolerated by
this Office" lie recommended the
passing Of resolutions by the national
banks 10 the effect that no officer or
6mploye of a bank should charge TO
the account Of any depositor or CORE
spondent when the funds are not on
deposit against the withdrawal. The
Controller also specified that copies Of
these resolutions be sent 10 him, to-
gether with the names Of the directors
approving them. He added that steps
lad been taken to induce the state
banking departments TO cooperate
with him in this step.
Bankers said yesterday that the Con-
trolier's ruling would entail hardshlps
on the weaker and smaller banks es-
pecially. They pointed out that many
times checks arrive here against out
of-town institutions and are presented
ST the New York banks before the out
of-town institutions can get the neces-
sary funds here. Were the banks to
refuse TO honor them the result would
be detrimental TO their correspond
ents.
According to many fnanciers, the
best thing 10 do would be TO overlook
the Controllers letter entirely. Others
held that measures should be taken TO
make him see that his methods of pro-
tecting the interests of the banks were

FALL TRADE ON IN
WOMEN'S WOOLENS
Wider Range of Goods Shown
than Ever, While Prices
Are Higher.

The women's wear season for fall
woollen goods was opened by Leading
firms Yesterday, with q wider range OF
goods shown by the larger interests
Than have been included in fall lines
in any previous season. The largest
factor in the trade is making a siren
uous effort to get buyers 10 place their
orders without hesitation, after sew
ersl backward seasons since the new
tariff has been in force, and yesterday
announced that the line was so much
more extensive than usual that n
would be shown only in the salesroomS
of the company for week. At the
end OF that period statesmen will be
sent out on the road with samples.
Prices as whole are higher, but
selling agents declare they are so anX-
ious to get buyers 10 place their bust
ness quickly that they have not put
prices up as much rs wool prices have
advanced, limiting that the goods VIII
be advanced later. The color effects
Of the leading lines are in all OF the
latest shades. The first response OF
BUYERS is reported TO have been excel
lent. They hocked to the ssleSrooms
Yesterday. and many are said TO have
left large orders. though most Of the
business at such an early date would
OF necessity be only for sample pieces.
In the cheap serge field all Of the
larger sellers Of women's wear wool
lens started the fall season yesterday.
Prices for 80 and. SO inch all wool
serges in the grades selling AZ under
90 cents a yard, wholesale prices, are
advanced about 3 per cent average
above the prices named year ago for
tho last fall season. The advance IN
the grade OF wool used in this line Of
serges is about 25 TO 80 per cent. 1t
is evident, therefore, that profits have
been cut 10 almost nothing, or cannot
exist, where goods are of the same
kind as a year ago A selling agent
who was asked where the difference
between the price Of wool and these
serges went 10 on the comparative
basis Of this year and last replied:

Many members Of the knit goods

A story is told of three representa-

NOTES OF TRADE
AND INDUSTRY

The mems wear suiting season Will
open tomorrow morning for fall lines,
according to announcement made yes
terday by leading selling representa-
tives Of woollen goods manufacturers.
The most important lines of serges,
CLAWS. French backs, unfinished worst
eds and similar lines of goods will be
priced and shown to buyers. The open
ing Of wool suitings, scheduled for
Yesterday. will be put off until after
some judgment regarding the tendency
of buying on serges is possible. Prob
ably wool suitings will be ready FOR
the buying trade Monday.
Further advances have been made in
several kinds OF cotton goods during
the last few days. Ducks and heavy
sheetings are higher, while, even
though raw cotton has shown a hating
tendency recently, higher prices are
looked for on gray goods.
A satisfactory volume Of business is
reported for colored woven fabrics, al
though bingham manufacturers are not
satisfied with present prices, claiming
that buyers overlook the high cost Of
dive materials when calling attention TO
the low price OF raw cotton. The
printed goods market is experiencing
more satisfactory demand, with large
trade in printed fabrics expected within
a week or two.
The miserable conditions under foot
during the last two days proved q
boon 10 retail distributors of rubber
footwear and resulted in good demand
from them TO jobbers and manufactur-
ers. Wholesalers felt immediate effects
Of the increased retail sales through
hurry calls at their stock rooms for
more supplies
