Governor Chamberlain has announced

At the banks today the usual business
activity prevails, but not in so pro
nounced a degree as on yesterday, when
the pay roll chocks for the first of the
month were being cashed. The bulk of
these checks were presented at the banks
yesterday, and the cash was po ! over
tne counters. The ordinary commercial
business Is all that Is apparent today,
and the banks are receiving the usual
volume of deposits.
It Is said by an official of the clearing
house that tha banks are receiving near
ly aa much money on deposit as they
are paying out from day to day, so com
plete is the public confidence In their

LEWISTOX BANKS
FiawnviTii CASH
(Special Dlipatcb te Tbt Jnernal.)
Lewlston, Ida., Nov. 5. The banking
situation In Lcwlston, while it has not
reached such a point of tension as in
Spokane, Portland and Seattle, Is such
that the Institutions are taking pre
cautionary measures to husband their
cash. While they do not refuse to cash
checks, for reasonable amounts, lnrge
checks are mostly paid in part. This
in not carried to a point nt insistence,
but as a reauest to which drawers
cheerfully accede on understanding the
situation.
John P. Vollmer. president of the
First National bank, said this morning:
We have not refused to cash checks.
but we have requested depositors In a
friendly way to draw only such cash
us 'they actually need to transact their
business. This they have done most
cheerfully. We have asked for no holi
day In Idahft and do not want one. The
mnks of the city, by mutual agreement.
do not take cash from each other, and
ucccpt the exchanges Instead."

to leave their money In the bank tor
safety. It Is realized more and more
every day that with the present con
dition of the labor market the provi
dent depositor who has money In a
bank is keeping it In a safer place than
can be found elsewhere.
Confidence Being Bestored.
"W. II. Dunckley. cashier Ladd & Til
ton, said today that the local financial
situation remained unchanged except
for the sentiment of the people. He
said the people seemed to have come to
an understanding of the present condi
tions and are now behind the bankers In
their efforts to tide over the stringency
until the hoards of gold have been
turned loose.
"Everything Is quiet In Portland. The,
people have come to an appreciation of
the situation and are calmer than they
were at first," he said. "Of course this
was to be expected and is the best indi
cation that there will be no panicky
state. Checks can be used as well at
present as they could before and tho
people are learning to use them where
they formerly paid cash.
"Other than the change of sentiment
among the people there Is no chango In
the financial situation. That will have
to come in New York and as soon as It
does it will relieve the condition here."

Former Ambassadors Porter and

Gould said that J. Pierpont Morgan had
