Bank Officers Notified.

BANK OmcerS NoLlueu.
In connection with the offering of
the new series of Treasury certifi-
Gates, George j. Seay. governor and
chairman of the war loan organiza-
ton of the fifth federal reserve dis
trict, has sent letter ITO the Of
ficers and directors of all banks and
trust companies and to the public OF
this federal reserve district In this
letter Mr. Seay says that the quick
est way to secure an easier money
market is to enable the government
to pay the business men of America
what it now owes them.
He also says:
Here is an opportunity for quick
turnover. To utilize it is to hasten
the return to normal conditions: not
to utilize it is to increase the burdens
upon the financial resources of the
country. The best use that can now
be made of capital and of credit Is
to lend it to the government through
the purchase of certificates OF indebt-
edness and to enable the government
! to meet it's obligations, thus quickly
putting back into commercial chan
nels the money loaned to It.
.fCandidly. therefore, and with a
full ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS better
than that Of any one else in this
District-of the present burdens Of
our banks, we say that the present
exigencies may best be met by the
banks refusing to extend credit un-
duly, not only as a matter of patriot
ism, but as sound economic policy,
! and by investing in Treasury GER
tiacates of indebtedness the re-
sources thus conserved"
| He says that he confidently hopes
! that the banks and the public of the
| fifth district will oversubscribe the
quota of s20.SG0.000 by $6,213,500
! this latter being the amount we are
i behind the goal set for us by the
! Treasury Department on the series
already issued in anticipation of the
fifth liberty loan.'

.Jnusket that has survived to this day

than four years and century ago to
sdefend the bank against the British
invader. The Metropolitan National
Bank was then the Bank of the Me-

Its first building stood at the north
east corner of 18th and F streets. the
property having been bought from
John e.. jackson on April 9. 1914, for
So, 600, payable in stock of the bank.
The bank occupied that building until
s1936. when 1t erected on the lot north
nj it building which in 1907 gave
place to the present building.

Some reasons why nickel cigars sell
9or cents may be read in the
annual report of the United Cigar
Stores Company. In the report is
statement dealing with the increase
IN manufacturing costs due to war
-condidtions. 1t shows that labor has
advanced on the average SO per cent.
= The price of leaf tobacco has adj
vancd as follows: Filters, domestic
tobacco 100 per cent: filters. imported
tobacco. 1873 per cent: wrappers, Su-
matra type, 81 per cent. The company
sees no immediate prospect of reduc-
4tion in the cost of raw material or
sOther items of manufacture.
The available supply of the leaf to-
6aceo from which all grades of cigars
are made is depleted throughout the
world, and relief from this situation
1can only come from next seasons
