Treasury TO Draw
Against Deposits in
Commercial Banks
SLABS, 900 Will Be
Called From Institutions
in New York District
BY the Associated Press.

i
NEW YORK, July 9.-Pending the
raising of additional cash by sale
of bonds, the United States Treasury
is drawing upon its deposits in COM
mercial banks, banking sources re-
ported today.
The Treasury has notified its
commercial bank depositaries in the
New York Federal Reserve district
it would withdraw $l4,439, 900.
1t was estimated the Treasury
the last two weeks has called for
1924 ,407,000 from its accounts in
commercial banks throughout the
country. The latest Withdrawals
reduced the Treasury balances to
$572 100000.
Ordinarily the Treasury operates
against Government balances in the
Federal Reserve Banks, turning to
deposits in commercial banks as
secondary reserve.
Secretary Morgenthau announced
yesterday in Washington the Treas
ury shortly would enter the money
market with an offering of between
$500 900 900 and 00000,000 in bonds
to rebuild its working balance"
Banking circles looked for addi-
tional borrowing later in the year
because the huge defense program
will increase the drain on Treasury
cash.
