Western Banks
Plan Reduction
Of Balances Here
Federal Reserve Chiefs Urge
Acceptance Purchases as
More Profitable

Especial Correspondence of The Tribune)
CHICAGO, July eff present plans
work out satisfactorily, it is expected
that before long Western banks will
greatly reduce their large balances in
New York. Officials of Federal Reserve
banks in this part of the country have
instituted campaign Of education in
an effort to show the Western banks
that they can use their balances to
better advantage by purchasing bank
acceptances than by carrying them in
New York on deposit.
1t Is asserted that the large amount
OF money carried by local banks on
deposit with New York institutions is
to certain extent inactive, and Fed
eral Reserve bank authorities feel that
thls money should be in the West. 1t
IS pointed out that the Western bank
ers could earn Az to Az per cent by
purchasing acceptances of New York
banks, when the same Eastern insti-
tutlons pay only and 2A per cent on
deposits.
Heretofore New York deposits have
been considered auxiliary reserve. and
this meant loss Of interest under the
government reserve scheme. Accept
ances are equivalent to a reserve as
much as cash, since they can be redis-
counted at the Federal Reserve Bank
Recently number of Chicago banks
extended their field operation in the
acceptance market, but the majority
parks are leaving their balances in
New York at 21z per cent.
In this Federal Reserve district
mere Is a rush among the banks to
qualify as government depositaries,
Inc local reserve bank has been
swamIped with applications, and prac-
tlcally 800 of the 4,28O banks in this
district which qualified are now depos-
itarles. Banks of the West are loaned
70 the limit and are postponing the
day of settlement with the government
by making book credits instead of paw
ing cash for their promises to take
Treasury certificates.

Bethlehem Steel
To Market Notes
For $50,00O,O0O
They Will Yield 71a to 734
Per Cent, According
to Maturity

The Bethlehem Steel Corporation
is expected to offer this week through
an underwriting syndicate, consisting
of the Guaranty Trust Company. the
Chase National Bank, the Bankers
Trust Company and J. and W. Seligman
e. Co., s50,oo0,oo0 serial per cent
notes at prices yielding from IN to IN
per cent, according to maturity. That
the company had new financing plans
under consideration was announced last
Wednesday,
AS necessary prelude to the forth
coming offering, formal application has
been made to the Capital Issues Com
mittee for permission to issue the
notes, which, according to present
plans, will have the following maturi-
ties: Seven million five hundred thou
sand dollars annually from July !, 1919,
to July 1, 1922, inclusive, and $20000,-
900 on July /, 1923. The new notes will
be secured by bonds in the treasury of
the company.
Financing by the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation at this time was made nee
essary partly by the huge amount Of
government war business on the COM
pany's books. Untitled orders on hand
are said to exceed $500, 100000, the bulk
of which consists of contracts for large
guns, munitions and ships. New work
ing capital obtained will be used also
in completing plants under construc-
tiop.
The main reason, however, for rails
ing funds now is to provide for the $780,
100000 two-year notes that mature next
February. About $35 100000 of this
issue will be met through the maturity
of $36,000,000 British treasury notes
held as collateral. 1t is the opinion Of
the company and its bankers that the
present would be a more propitious
time to prepare for the big February
maturity rather than in the autumn,
when another Liberty Loan will be
floated
The company holds such a large
amount of British treasury notes be-
cause they were accepted as payment on
Russian munitions contracts, which up
to the time of Russia's disaffection
were financed by Great Britain. 1t was
because of inability to realize on these
securities that the notes maturing early
next year were issued.
