Detailed reports issued by the more prominent banks of the clearing house Indicated that increasing sums of money were being disposited here, particularly for England and French commercial interesta with a sprink ling of German and Russian accounts. These deposita, it. was said, were be ing constantly drawn upon ta meet I payments for war material, merchan- j dise- and foodstuffs.
