HOUSE FIXES UP
SENATE BANK BILL
Adopts Numerous Amendments
to Bushee Adams Measure
on State Deposits.
TO AID WESTERN BANKERS

Lincoln, April 5,-(Special.) 1.-The
house today got into another of its
celebrated arguments in the commit
tee of the whole, the bill under con-
sidcration being Senate File 70, an
other of the Bushee-Adams bills, COW
ering disposition of state funds.
The bill provided that state funds
deposited in banks should be let to
the. highest bidder.
The first thing done was the
adoption of an amendment proposed
by Murtey, under which every bank
receiving state funds must file a de-
pository mond with the state treas
urer, to be approved by the state
banking board. At present, national
banks give such dons. but state banks
do not, owing to the fact that all their
deposits are protected by the guar
anty fund.
An amendment offered by Mr..
Swanson, limiting an inactive" de-
post by the state in any bank to
20 per cent OF its capital. and an
active" deposit, on which checks
may be drawn for current purposes,
to 50 per cent, was adopted. Then
came one by Mr.. Leidigh, putting a
maximum limit of per cent on the
interest to be paid to the state. This
was intended to prevent national
banks getting the bulk of state funds
by offering to pay trifle over S per
cent, which is the limit allowed by
the Nebraska banking laws for the
state banks to pay on deposits. 1t
was also adopted. Deposits are to
be made on competitive basis.
In this form the bill was advanced
to third reading. The alterations do
not altogether please its chief sup
porters, who are western Nebraska
members. The purpose of the bill, as
commonly understood, was to give
western and northern banks, which
are willing to pay per cent inter-
est, chance to lget more state funds
than they do now.
No bank. under the terms of the
bill as amended, can have more than
100000 of state funds on deposit. and
in order to have that amout it must
have 100000 capital. A bank with
100000 capital is limited to $4,000 of
state money on deposit; and one with
$4,000 capital cannot have in excess
of $4,000 of state funds at one time.
At the present time, the interest
rate collected by the state on its funds
deposited in banks is 3 per cent, ex-
cept in few instances. where money
is left on time deposit at higher
rate.

ADVANCE IS CAUSED
 BY CROP REPORT
October Contracts Gain a Hun dred and Twenty-Nine Points in Ten Minutes on New York Market.

l New York, Aug. IA sensationally rapid advance followed the publica- ton of the government crop report in the cotton market today. Inside of 10 minutes October contracts sold up from 23.74c to 25.30c, or 129 points above last nights closing price. Re actions occurred later, with October closing at 24.78c, and with the general list closing steady at a net advance of 63 to 77 points.
 The failure of the government re- port to show any improvement in the condition of the crop during the past month seemed to be one of the great est surprises of the season. Prices opened at decline of IA to 23 points and sold about 25 to 28 points net lower during the early trading, on re- iterated talk of a favorable crop re- port, prospects for unsettled weather in some sections of the western belt, and renewed liquidation. December eased off to 23.53c and January to .23.43c just before the official condition figures were received. It was imme. diately followed by rush of buying orders, which included support from trade sources, as well as urgent cov- ering by shorts. December sold up to 2490c and January to 24.80c in a surprisingly short length of time, making advances of 137 to 256 points from the lowest and of Ill to 129 points from last nights closing fig ures. The buying then tapered off and the market turned easier under realizing which was prompted by the favorable showing of the weekly crop report and numerous private advices from the South claiming that the crop was improving. The government sta tisticians figured the condition of 70.3 as pointing to crop of 11,633,000 bales. |.
 Cotton closed steady.

HEAVY DEMAND ON ROADS
 BY THE GOVERNMENT

Little Rock, Aug. 2.-"Passengers may not, in all instances, be able to find seats, and there may be unavoid- able delays incident to the handling of the large number of troops which this company is daily transporting"
 This is the message which is given out by President Bush of the Missouri Pacific, in explaining the demands that are being made by the govern ment, and the consequent necessity in reducing the number of trains. All duplicate service especially is to be discontinued. The Railroad Commis- sion devoted all day Wednesday to a consideration of petitions by the ship pers for the discontinuance of trains, and the protests of citizens in certain instances. There were delegations present from Helena, Batesville and Monticello. J. F. Murphy, of St. Louis, general manager of the Mis- souri Pacific, with division officials, represented the railroad.
 The railroad men showed that the government is making heavy de- mand for equipment for the move ment of troops and equipment, and that the general public must expect to put up with inconvenience. The commission expressed a disinclination to consent to the discontinuance of trains that will cripple the service to .any given point, and that it would especially insist upon the continuation of the Helena, Batesville and Monti~ cello trains unless some arrangement satisfactory to all could be made for the handling of the traffic.
