F. Alen’s suspension, A Milwaukee fusncier suddenly appeared on Washington street here with about $100,- 000 of the Cook County National’s New York deofts protested, It then appeared that this rural frm had been fn (he habit of buying Mr, Allon’s exchange at $1.001,000,00 under the market rate, and reselling at a profit, As might have been expected, they wero caught at leat, Fortunately thie happened tefore tho suspension, and thoy were able to make some arrange- amonts to indemnify themselves, taking security, etc, The moral is obvious, and fe not pressed, ONE DAY AFTER DATE. For the benefit of thone whore attention bas not yet been arrested to the point, we repeat our reminder to bankers and othere that, by the “Little Tari” law jately pacsed, cheques drawn “payable ons day after date "are lishle to the 2-vent stamp duty, and that $50 fine is incurred for each violation of the law. UNSTAMPED CITECKS. ‘The Supervisor of Internal Rovenuo in this city has gent notice to the banks in whoso drawers unstamped cheeks huve been found that they must “ walk up and pettle” with the Department, Tho penalty is $50 fue for cash unslamped check, The aggregate number of unatamped checks discovered was not more than 1,200, Tha search extended back among tho accumulations of scare. When it fs con- sidered that the number of checks handled by tho Chicago banks amount by actual calculation to 6,000,- 000 s sear, the fact that 1,200 nostamped checke should have cluded the vigilance of the Cashiers in several years doea not scem to Indicate any great neg- Ugence, and negatives any idea of criminal intent, The banks will jappeal to the Internnl Revenue De- partment not to exact, in face of this proof of their efforts ta observe the law, the pengity for » more tech- nical violation of ite letter. It will certainly be im- possible to prove any intent on their part to evade it, NATIONAL BANKA ORGANIZED ‘Tho United Btetos Comptroller of the Currency fur- nishes the following statement of National Banks or- ganized tho pout week: 2,221—National Bank of McMinnville, Tenn, Au- thorized capital, $50,000; paid in capltal, $45,500. — ——, President ; Philip i:.
