PORTLAND, April 9.-Thc Front
street butter market reports stocks
beginning to accumulate, due largely
to recent rather receipts of California
products, and to aomc extent also to
heavier production in this State. The
iccent general cut in butter price
had the effect of checking shipments
from the South to some extent, but
thu tuff is still coming In and at the
low prices at which it in held tend)
to weaken the market. The best of
the Oregon brands. are nuw selling
at 25 to 27i cents, but it is possible
talit these quotations will be cut
slightly in the near future.

indicate that the market there is
weaker, the rcult of recent heavy

REQUIRED RESERVES
Fowler Currency Bill Endorsed
; by Merchants Association.
FREE CONTROL OF RESOURCES
The U. S. 2 Per Cent Bonds Would be
Purchased by the Custodians of the
Guaranty Fund With the Purpose
of Withdrawing Them.
NEW YORK, April 9.-Irving T.
J, Hush, vice chairman on commercial
law of the Nferchants Association to
day made a statement on the practi
cal effect of the Fowler Currency bill
on the balance sheets of the banks.
Mr. Bush set .'orth in figures the
status of the national banks of the
city of New York if the bill were in
actual operation. He said:
"There seems to be many, even
anion leading bankers, who have
not had brought fully to their atten
tion the benefits which they would
derive from certain provisions of the
Fowler bill. Comment has been
made on the large amount which the
banks would be required to transfer
to the treasury to make up the five
per cent guarantee fund which is to
be deposited against both deposits
and nates. This requirement is real
ly much less radical than has been
represented. The last report of the

Chabmerlains's Has the Preference
Mr. Fred. C. Hanrahan, a promi
nent druggist of Portsmouth, Va.,
says: "For the past six years I
have sold and recommended Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarhoea
Remedy., It is a great remedy and
one of the best patent medicines on
the market. I handle some "others
for the same purposes that pay me a
larger profit, but this remedy is so
sure to effect a cure, and my custom
er so certain to appreciate my recom
mending it to him, that I give it the
preference." For sale by Frank Hart
and leading druggists,
comptroller of the currency showing
the condition of the national banks of
New York City on February 1, last,
showed deposits subject to reserve
requirements to the amount of $68,
889,105, making a total amount sub
ject to the guaranty fund require
ments of the Fowler bill, of $971,077
900 The amount required for the
guaranty fund would be five per cent
of this amount or $18,553,895, This
looks at first blush like a formidable
amount to withdraw from the cash
resources of the bank but when it
considered that it is counted as part
of their required reserves the ques
tion is reduced simply to one of the
locality here the money is kept. Re
serve requirements would be raised
$225,547,198 under the existing law
to $242,769,475, of which $48,5g.1,89S
would be in Washington and $194,-
215,580 would be in cash in the cus
tody of the banks. The New York
banks held more cash on Feb. 14 than
would be required by the Fowler bill
and their position in this respect
would not be changed to their dis
advantage. "One of the greatest advantages
to the banks under the proposed new
system would be the free control of
their own resources. Instead of
keeping in the treasury, as was the
case on Feb. 14, United States bonds
to secure circulation jof $70,182,100
U S. bonds to secure public deposits
to the ontount of $67,243,912, all these
would be returned to them and they
would be able to convert them at
will into cash.
"The U. S. two per cent bond
would be purchased by the custod
ians of the guaranty fund with the
purpose of withdrawing them from
the market and maintaining their
value The Fowler bill provides that
they should be purchased at the price
of 104, in order to guarantee against
any loss resulting from their aband
onment as a basis of circulation.
Under this arrangement, $70, 782,100
of U. S, bonds would be handed back
to the national banks of New York
to be disposed ci to the government
for cash to about an equal amount,
which cash could be lent in the mar
ket at current rates, while the privil
ege of issuing notes would remain
unimpaired.
'A little computation will show that
the ability to lend the proceeds of
the bonds at the current rate of in
terest would be an advantage to the
banks. They would be required to
pay two per cent upon their circula
tion, which is 1 1-2 per cent higher
than they now pay and they would
lose the interest on the 2 per cent
bonds but with the money at 5 per
cent they would still make a profit
above what they now make, by tie
ing up their capital in two per cent
bonds. Moreover, they would have
the privilege of issuing notes in ad
dition to those now out, up to the full
amount of their capital in case of
need without tying op one dollar of
their resources in any investment in
bonds. This unused power of issue
of the New York City banks by the
last report to the comptroller was
$43,834,863. A further power of
issue is given in emergencies to a
second sum equal to the capital, or
$112,500,000.
"The entire scope of the bill is
designed to encourage commercial
transactions by giving the banks con
trol of their own resources for loans
to customers. I am satisfied that if
bankers be convinced that instead of
being radical or disturbing it is really
a moderate and conservative measure
which would benefit them as well as
their customers and the public.
