operative today in the banks Of the

Banks have been asked to make a
report early next week Of the bust
ness transacted during the first few
days and as to the general reception
OF the new scheme by the public.
The system provides that every fed
eral reserve bank shall receive at par
from It's members or from other fed
eral reserve banks checks drawn on
members Of any district and check
upon non-member banks, which can
be collected at par
Some objection to the system was
made by small banks, which feared
that collection at par would take
from them considerable source OF
revenue from the collection of checks.
