PACKAGE OF 100000
DEPOSITED IN TREASURY
Represents Value of Panama 2 Per
Cent Bonds Acquired by Federal
Reserve Board.

4 bundle of money containing S10.-
SEQ 900 in 10000 biils-really ten pack
ages of 100 ten-thousand-dollar bills
and a short package to make up the diff
ference-was turned over to the treas
urer of the United States today. 1t
represents payment by the federal re-
serve board for an equivalent value of
2 per cen Panama bonds. previously
owned by the national banks of the
United States, and deposited with the
United States Treasury as security for
national bank notes in circulation.
The actual cash. by the payment of
the federal reserve board. will now be
in the hands of the Treasury instead of
the bonds to secure national bank cir
culation. The bonds themselves will
be distributed pro rata among the fed
eral reserve banks. excepting the bank
of San Francisco, which bought in the
open market. to meet the requirement of
the law for the purchase of the bonds.
When national banks now retire ma
tional bank notes the treasurer of the
United States will return as collateral
the actual cash, which he now holds
instead of the Panama bonds sold
under existing legislation. The national
banks are required TO retire a certain
proportion of their circulation every
year.

tage to Germany. Legation officials
said they had cabled the substance of
the report to Picking and in reply had
been informed that the president had

ASKS NATIONAL BANKS
FOR WEEKLY REPORTS
Controller of the Currency Wants
Voluntary Information by Wire
Each Saturday.
Washington Clearing House Bankers
Agree to Furnish Re
ports.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

The 7,000-odd national banks in the
United States have been asked by the
controller of the currency to furnish
his office, by wire. at the close of bust
ness each Saturday, reports of the chief
items that go to make up the business
of a bank. with loss or gain in the sep
arate. items, as compared with the
totals of the previous week.
Each national bank responding to
this request will be furnishing fifty
two reports of condition during the
year.. in addition to responses to six
calls" going into the closest detail of
operations and submitting to at least
two Examinations by national bank ex-
aminers during the year.
h controller ha< not made the
weekly report obligatory, but has
asked for the Information, and it prob
ably will be given him by the great
majority of the banks in the federal
reserve system.
The Washington Clearing House AS
ISOLATION held a special meeting yes
terday afternoon at which the letter of
the controller was read and, after con-
siderable debate, pro and con. the MEM
bers voted to supply the desired in
formation with each recurring week.
The Information desired includes
among other items the total deposits
and net loss or gain as compared with
the previous weeks; the same informa-
ton on loans: on reserve with precent-
age OF loss or gain: cash on hand, in
crease or decrease: total resources etc.
With these statistics at land the con-
troller will be enabled to keep much
closer tab on the business of the banks
and may be able from the information
at his to dictate examinations
of this or that bank and be in better
u with the system banks than
through the six periodical examinations
during the year.
If furnished by all banks, the COM
pilation of. the weekly statements
would be of value to the reserve board
in indicating conditions in the regional
districts and might be taken as a true
barometer of business conditions.
h statement of New York banks
made every Saturday has long been
looked upon as Indicative of conditions.
The dominant idea is that the control
Ter of the currency would have infor-
nation weeks in advance of the ex-
aminer'S reports.
