HOW THE TASK WAS AC COMPLISHED AT HOME.

The census has been taken, the schedules have been collec'ed by the enumerators, and are now being returned to the local registrars, and satisfaction was expressed on June 25 by the department of the Registrar.

BANKING BOBBERY,

IS THIS TRUE OF LONDON BANKS?

"Old anomaly:

Banker "

dicusses

an

A proposal has been made in Melbourne that the method of settl-

ing between the "clearing" banks should be changed. Before the in- troduction of the Australian notes each clearing bank paid a certain amount in gold into a pool. Against the funds so deposited £1,000 vou- chers, commonly called "sheepsking." were issued and became negotiable instruments between the banks. The small odd bilances were settled by cheque. Should a bank's supply of the "sheepskins" not be sufficient to meet its debts to the other banks, settlement was made on a gold basis. When the Australian notes were issued they took the place of the

sheepskins."

Apparently it is now proposed to abolish this method and endeavour to secure a partial return to the old system. But instead of the Clearing House issuing its own paper settle ment each week is to take place by cheque. If the suggested arrange- ment is adopted, it would mean that each bank would be required to maintain a drawing account of con. siderable dimensions at a central ¡ bank in each capital city. It has! been assumed that the Common- wealth Bank would be the central · bank; but it is not likely that the other concerns would voluntarily and deliberately raise its prestig by making it the bank of bankers. As a matter of fact, the commonwealth Bank Las got even been admitted as a "clear- ing bank" Before it opened its doors Denison Miller applied for admission in Melbourne and Sydney;} but the application was refused in both places, and the decision convey- ed to him on the eve of the opening

Wales, a member of the clearing house, came to the rescue and ageced to clear everything on behalf of the Commonwealth Bank, and thus a situation of considerable, anxiety, of which the public knew nothing, was surmounted at the eleventh hour. The Wales still acts for it This is anomalous now that the figures of the national bank are by far the largest in the Commonwealth.

In London a line is drawn between banks which are admitted to the Clearing House and those of recent growth which are not members. The old institutions many of them private bankers have kept the Clearing House as a close preserve for original members, and many of the younger joint stock banks which have grows to enormous proportions have not been admitted. They are forced to do their clearing through some of the small old private institu- tions, the latter reaping a harvest by charging a stiff commission on the business which goes through their hands-Sydney Bulletin.
