RESERVE BOARD ENDS
CONSIDERATION OF
BANK APPEALS
_ i
Washington, May 3.—The feder^f re
serve board virtually has finished con
sideration of appeals by member banks
rom tlie decision of the reserve bank
>rganization committee by which it di
vided the continental United States
nto 12 reserve districts and selected
12 cities for federal reserve banks.
Votes probably will be taken this
veek on appeals by which member
>anks in certain localities seek to be
shifted from the district in which they
.vere placed to another. It is under
stood several minor changes are con
templated.
For the present the board is un
ierstood to have postponed indefinite
ly votes on the. appeals of Baltimore
nd Pittsburg to be made reserve pank
•ities in place of Richmond and Cleve
land. respectively. It is the general im
pression, however, that Baltimore even
tually will get a branch of the Rich
mond hank and Pittsburg a Cleveland
:>ra nch.

didate for the bank given to Atlanta,
lid not appeal to the hoard, there Is
understanding about the treasury de

first cities to be given a branch bank.
STOP SHIPMENT OF
GRAIN FROM CANADA
Duluth, Minn., May 3.—Dominion au
thorities have issued orders prohibiting
shipment of grain from Canada, accord
ing to advices reaching here today. The
news was contained in a private dis
patch to a shipping concern and said:
“Ottawa has just notified shippers
that grain cannot leave Canada for the
United States unless It is for doniestio
consumption. Exports cannot leave
Canada for the United Kingdom unless
specified consignees are named, nor to
any foreign country unless under an
Ottawa permit.”
Domestic consumption mentioned is
taken to mean Canadian consumption,
the grain passing through American
ports on its way to Canadan points oth
er than the point of origin.
It is believed here the. reported Ot
tawa order indicates either that Can
ada and the .United Kingdom are short
of grain, or that they intend to con
serve every available bushel of the
present supply against the possibility
that the present European war may be
long drawn out.
