MAny of thsm ar pyif 4 per cent on sav ings and tim dsposlts. This is don sldsrsd altogsthsr too high, lit view of th fact tbat they may b draws out on 0 days notie. It la also claimed that 4 per C6nt for tim deposits of eno year and 34 p6r cent for time dsposlts of six months, Is also altogether too high. In view of th present atat of tbe money market, when commercial paper ie selling under 4 per cnt and th tsndsncy of th f sdsrtl rtserv systsm is u dtprtw lntsrest rtu on ordinary commercial business down to a maximum level of S per eenu It 18 repotted that Seattle banksrs hav screed on united action. Port land bankers ar having difficulty In reaching an agreement, it is said. Ths smaller banks claim they ought to be permitted to pay a better rate than th larger backs, as they suffer by th competition of the larger institu tions. Bom of ths stat banks. In View of the fast that they may loan tip to 90 per cent of their capital and surpluvo& real estate, which yields a hlgheraveraK Interest return, claim they can afford to pay a better rat than ths national banks, which may only loan 2 pr cent of their capital and surplus on real estate and are limited to farm loans. It Is a question whether ths Port' land banks will be able to brsssnt a united front at Spokane.
