NEW RESERVE BANKS OPEN FOR BUSINESS [Continued Prom First I'agc] neapolis, St. Louis. Kansas City. At lanta. Richmond, Dallas and San Fran cisco. Their operations for the next few months will consist largely of the redlscountlng of notes, drafts and hills of exchange. Later their field will In extended to permit them to exercise remaining functions defined by the currency law. In the new system are 7,551 mem ber banks with an authorized capital placed at $106,795,600. One-sixth of that amount has been called in and placed in their vaults. Cash reserves In the twelve regional banks is esti mated at nearly $250,000,000, drawn under the currency law from present reserve agents of the member banks. For Movement of Crops Members of the Federal Reserve Bqprd felt to-day they had established the system just when conditions pre sented excellent opportunity to test Its value. Ability of the. reserve banks to rediscount commercial paper has been looked to as a means of providing financial machinery for the movement of crops and meeting general business needs. Asserting that the opening of the banks marked a new era in the history of business and in the history of the , United States, Secretary McAdoo added: "It is believed that they will put an end to the annual anxiety from which the country has suffered for the past generation about Insufficient money and credit to move the crops each year and will give such stability to banking business that the extreme fluctuations in Interest rates and available credits which have characterized banking In the past will be destroyed perma nently." Another "Fourth of .July" The chief attraction and value of the new system, according to its inter preters, are to be found in the elas ticity it will give to recognized paper currency. The federal reserve notes which probably will replace the fa miliar national bank notes will be Issued on commercial paper arising out of actual business transactions. It is designed that they will rise and fall in amount according to the flow in the tide of business. They will be government obligations, having back of them a large gold reserve In the regional banks. Paul M. Warburg, possibly the most experienced banker on the Federal Re serve Board, to-day declared that No vember 16 might be considered the Fourth of July In the economic life of the United States, marking the foun dation of the nation's financial eman cipation.
