new BANKS PLAN
CLEARING SYSTEM
Operations Between Them
selves Is Expected TO
Extend to Members.

WASHINGTON. Feb. s. Conferences
between member Of the Federal Re
serve Board. governors Of several Of
tho reserve banks and some reserve
agents have developed definite plans
for he extension Of clearing house
operations by the twelve regional re-
serve banks. One feature OF the plan
provides for the creation Of a central
fund Of possibly S2j,O0OG00, TO be held
in Washington 10 the credit Of the re.
serve banks TO take care Of clearing
operations between them.
The results Of the deliberations
which lasted several days, viii be laid
before the entire Federal Reserve
Board on Monday. Since the plans
have ,he approval Of ". T. G.. Harding
and Paul w. Warburg. two members
experienced i'm practical banking. it was
Lclicved tonight that they would be
,ndo--cd.
Il was pointed out that no attempt
would be made toward ha5ty action.
out il was understood TO have been
unanimously agreed I'm the conferences
that the time had arrived when the
clearing functions OF the twelve banks
should be exercised r. fully as possible.
Actual development OF the clearing SyS-
tenn through the reserve banks VIII be
gradual. but members Of the Reserve
Board believe these banks will in time
take the place contemplated in the re-
serve act and 90 practically ali the
clearing for member banks.
According 90 information tonight.
the central fund in Washington is TO D."
a gold fund made IN Of deposits from
each Of the twelve reserve banks. As
nov, contemplated, each bank might put
up about 10 per cent Of its reserve
funds in the central fund.
II WAS Understood that the Secretary
Of the Treasury might place some OF
the government money now on deposit
with national banks IN the fund 10 the
credit OF Federal Reserve banks. Such
action would allow reserve banks to
make smaller deposits in the central
fund rom their own resources. This
part Of the plan was said not to have
met the approval o; Mr McAdoo as yet,
and i is possible that II viii not be
adopted. Its rejection will not affect
the general proposal, however.
Il has been estimated that the hard
ling Of the central fund here viii rot
entail any great burden on the force OF
the Federal Reserve Board. It will be
devoted exclusively 70 taking care Of
items between Federal Reserve banks
themselves and viii have the practical
result of setting IN. clearing agency
I'm Washington for IN" Twelve banks.
Balances probably WI. be adjusted only
once week. or once month. and viii
be largely matters o. bookkeeping.

It's now eight story building some
time next month. The building will
occupy a lot In North High st. between
Gay and Long SITS, and is just little
north Of the stores present location.
The i. l.. White store has been a
prosperous concern FOR a number OF
years. and by erecting a new and mod
crn building the firm will have one Of
the finest equipped department. stores
in the city.
A review Of the buying done in the
resident buyers Offices the last week
shows that business conditions i'm gen
cral are above normal. Many large or
ders were placed or suits for immcdi-
ate delivery. Poplins seemed TO have
full sway. and ,hc outlook IS that this
material. vh,le being neglected by the
smaller buyers. will have a very good
demand. The dress trade did not have
any orders placed that would really
amount 10 anything. but the consensus
of opinion is that this section Of the
trade will get its share OF the business.
Waist manufacturers are working their
factories 10 the limit on organizes and
