ADDRESS REPLY TO

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

June 16, 1917*

Dear Sir:
Numerous questions have recently been presented to
the Federal Reserve Board with reference to trade acceptances,
and I have in consequence been instructed to make some inquiry
about the present situation in the matter, and to .report the
results to the Board.
I know that considerable work has been done in your
district with reference to the trade acceptance, and should be
very much obliged if you would send us a complete set of all
matter issued by your bank on the subject, and also any other
material, or copies of correspondence showing the

position

of business men and bankers on the subject, that you feel at
liberty to transmit for the information of the Board*
