New York ' bankers noticed with some little uneasiness the rapid ac- cumulation of funds in the Federal Reserve banks: they also reported large -receipts of currency from the interior, where there seemed to be little demand for it. Then they cut down their rates for thirty-day loans to 3% per cent, with sixty money 4 per cent. The jcombined statement of the reserve | banks showed a decrease of $15.- 1060,000 in bank loans, a decrease of $37,000.000 in earning assets and an increase to 77.6 per cent in percentage of re: ves to deposit liability. The president of the First National of St. Louis is one of the big men of the country. He says yes. Can a national bank have branches? Every one interested is talking about it.
