ments, some in advance. There is also
the important fact that while the new
federal reserve law reduced the re-
serve requirements of the banks and
also required payment by the rational
banks into the federal reserve banks Of
a sum that would about Offset the re-
duction in reserve requirements, the
one was immediate in effect and the
other was extended over three year
period.
Loans Billion Greater.
While the New York banks. for ex-
ample, had three years in which to pay
in their federal reserve bank reserve
requirements. their own reserve re-
quirements were reduced. as soon as
the law became operative. from 25 to
18 per cent of the total deposits To-
day the New York banks have ST.
O00,000.000 more loaned out than
year ago and still have idle funds, but
il their reserve requirements were %
per cent, as formerly, they would be
loaned up, or more than loaned up.
Business Optimism Warranted.
There is an existing condition that
warrants optimism in the general busf-
ness outlook. The danger. that in a Pc
riod of cheap money. enterprise and
ambition might in time develop con-
dition of money stringency. brings into
view at once the new federal reserve
system. These federal reserve banks,
IL kept in such strong emergency pur-
poses, vwill prevent repetition OF such
sudden and severe expansion and con-
traction as In past years has been sert-
GUS. and the fear of which has worried
many a prudent business man.

go back to where it was before the
war. We have made great advances
financially. commercially and industri-
ally, that we win hold. In my judg-
ment. Minneapolis will have r very

Outlook Never Brighter.
"The offer of lower New York
money here. while it reflects condi-
tion that has not been seen in Minnea-
polls since early in 1898, does not
imply permanence. 1t is noteworthy
that the offers are for round sums and
for short time loans only.

Directors Had Planned
to Keep Casselton Bank
on Its Feet, Is Report
Stated Irregularities Were More Extensive Than First
Thought and Matter Could Not BE Kept From Com
ing Out -Tasking of Checking Up Ic Lengthy.

Further developments in the SEN
sational closing of the First National
bank Of Casselton were brought to
light in which it is shown that the
directors of the closed bank entered
into a contract with r. G. Kittcl,
former president of the institution and
now under $4,000 bonds TO appear be-
fore a United States grand jury to
answer to, the charges Of embezzlc.
Inent and falsifyinR ~ counts, in
which 1t was agreed that 4xittei should
turn over to the directors his stocks
in the bank and his personal property
and that the directors would in turn
make good any irregularities and
keep the institution open.
This information comes from q very
reliable party who saw the contract,
which was made at the time that II
was reported that Mr.. Kittel had sold
his interests in the institution. 1t was
agreed that the directors would make
good "any discrepancies or irregular
tiles" and it is believed that the
directors intended to keep the mat
ter quiet in order to keep the insti.u-
tion open and preserve it's good name
and it is stated on good information
that this part of the contract was not
carried out for the reason that the ir-
regularitieS were more extensive than
was at first thought.
II is learned that the first intimation
that there had been Irregularities and
that the bank was in q weakened con-
dition was Just prior to the announce

Northwest Is Offered
Lowest Rates on Money
in Past Eighteen Years

Minneapolis. Dec. 17.-Banks of New
York City are offering to loan money
in Minneapolis on short time, selected
collateral loans at the lowest interest
rate for eighteen years.
Messages from big New York institu-
tions Offering such rates for large
loans were on the desks Of executive
officers of Minneapolis banks and heads
of financial departments of mercantile
and manufacturing firms that are
large borrowers when these men
reached their Offices for the days
business.
Bankers Predict Big Year.
Shortime commitment only is impli-
ed in the offers. indicating, local
financial men said. that while the
extraordinary financial condition in
the United States is prompting New
York to seek in the west opportunity
for employment of funds. such canvass
indicates no expectation on the part
of the eastern financial world that the
existing condition will long con-
tinue.
The significance Of the situation to
Minneapolis, as seen by local bankers.
Is that all that has been predicted Of
increased volume of business, extern
sion and new enterprise will be more
than borne out in the year 1916.
Similar Situation in 1898.
In 1898 there was a situation COM
parably roughly to that now existing,
although the basic causes differed
widely from those now showing eff
feet.
Minneapolis bankers declare them
selves optimistic over the prospect for
legitimate business in every line, but
their own business they say. is pres
enting less opportunity for profit than
for nearly two decades.
Pres. =. w. Decker of the North
western National bank said that the
situation is unprecedented, and Is
making new financial history both in
Minneapolis and in the United States
as whole.
