Quenstedt, discussing the situation
with Butler at the latter's home here,
directed attention to the fact that last

$4,000 in the hay bill and offered this
as justification for sending out SIG

FUNDS WITHDRAWN
TO BOLSTER CREDIT
Reserve Board Reports
Money Going Into Ex-
panding Business.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board said
yesterday that funds have been flow
ing out Of the Nations money centers
to meet the credit needs of expanding
business and industry.
In its monthly bulletin the board
reported that so-called country
banks" withdrew substantial sums
from their balances with city banks
during the first half OF this year.
These balances were used in part
to meet the recently increased deposit
reeerve requirements.
The largest portion. however, went
into loans and investments, the board
said, adding:
Prior to their withdrawal a part
OF the funds obtained from these bal
ances had been invested by city banks
and a part had been held by them as
excess reserves with the Reserve
banks,
Consequently, a large part OF the
demand for funds to meet both the
increase in reserve requirements and
the growing demand for loans through
out the country has been met out Of
balances that had been held In the
financial centers."
Saying this trend was in line with
usual developments during a business
upswing, the board added that the
shift of funds from financial centers
this year had less effect on the money
market than on previous occasions.
In 4 special survey, the board re-
ported "A banks were suspended dur
ing 1896, compared with 81 in 1895
1000 in 1888 and $50 in 1929. De-
posits IN the suspended banks were
listed at $ll,306.000 last year, Slo.-
ool 900 In 1888. 1886 sos, 900 In 1888
and S230,643, 900 in 1929.
