The financial situation in Rock Is land remains practically unchanged, and the banks in this city have found the precautions taken two weeks ago. including the enforcement of the C0 day notice on savings deposits, to be sufficient. The banks here today met large pay rolls, paying all or these in gold and currency. The arsenal pay roll was met this week by the banks, but this is different from the ordinary pay roll, because it is paid on checks on the sub-treasury at Chicago, and the banks can secure such currency and gold as is required from the fed eral vaults. C'onriilionn Improving-. Bankers here state that every indi cation Is that the situation is improv ing greatly In New York and Chicago and this is sure to result in improved conditions here in financial matters. With the receipt of about $10,000,000 bi gold expected in Chicago early in the week, the banks there will be greatly relieved, and this will be re fleeted throughout the entire west. The situation in Rock Island an 1 Moline has at no time been serious, and the banks have met all of the. pay rolls with cash, and have issued no clearing house certificates or cashiers' checks. It Is likely, however, that the rule of a CO day notice of with drawal will be continued in force in definitely. Ho Xot Want tiolil. A peculiar thing observed in the present financial stringency is that the public is not demanding gold, but prefers the more convenient currency instead. In Rock Island the men em ployed in the different factories have objected to the payrolls being made up in gold, asking that currency be supplied instead. One banker said today that th banks as a result are more anxious secure currency than they are to g gold, but of course anything in the way of real money is acceptable. Phil Mitchell, president of the local clearing house association, states that he looks for an improvement in cond' tions throughout the entire west shortly, as New York has the situation in hand now, and Chicago is improv iiig its conditions rapidly. Moline in Oitlleulty. The situation in Moline is some what different than in Rock Island, for the manufacturers, banks and busi ness men have found it necessary to form a clearing house association to meet the conditions in order to kee. the men in the factories at work. A:i association was formed at a meeting yesterday, and securities placed in the hands of a committee to back nu checks to be issued by the association. The securities are one third more than the face of the checks, and the mer chants have agreed to accept them freely in business transactions. There is a deficiency in the supply of cash in Moline, and the banks have found it necessary to take measures to meet the big payrolls of the factories. SEEKS HOMES FOR CHIL DREN.
