TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,—The Bank of New Zealand openi proceedings in this district, though why at ftakaia, is somewhat puzzling. They inti mate that they intend charging 10* 6d or. all balances smaller than £100, whether debit or credit; and a further 10s 6d every half year ou accounts where the credit balance stands for three days at less than £50. That means £1 Is, or possibly £1 Us 6d, per annum on all small accounts for certain, if I am not wrong in surmising that they are not overrun with credit balances of £50 and over all the year round. Why not cease all small accounts without option, then their business would be in a nutshell. They could reduce the number of underpaid clerks, and save costs of expensive ledgers; and possibly at an early date could advertise their business for sale, no reasonable offer refused. Can it be that thia last move emanate* from our paternal Government, to niiiuce us simpi* and easily led one, 4t6 go to the Post Office Savings Bank, which funds might be available in time of need ? To meet this last effort 1 woud recommend all farmers and small bank clients to take the bull by the horns, close their accounts,, de mand gold for all Dotes at all times, to re fuse any cheques which may be crossed, and cash them in gold also. I fancy the game is in their hands. The circulation of bunk notes would fail off rapidly, and perhaps we then should see gold arriving by steamer at well as being shipped to London. In the p»st it has been a mutual obligation. The small accounts have assisted in keeping the circulation of notes going. They may have caused a little expense for stationery, pass books, and in some cases postages—the latter in fairness might be charged—but I think a number of such acounts are better in the long run than some of the big over drafts whioh appear to be paying big in terest, but when eventually, as it comes to the fate of many, rhe account has to be written down, or off, as the case may bn, what then ? A shrewd binker once said to the writer—" It's all very well if it pans out right; you make the profit, if not, the bank makes the loss." Too true, alas ! As soon as my much resprcted banker inform* me he intends following the lead of the Bank of New Zealand, Kakaia, I then begin to play the game I have herein recommended^ to others, and fancy we shall sometimes hold the " j 'ker."—l am, etc , Small Crmht Balavck.

Sir,—A gentleman informed us a few days ago (hut some tailors make 6uite for about half the regular prices for firit-eiass tailoring and then give an extra pair of trousers over " for nothing !" We frankly admit that we cannot perform such impossible tricks a* those " wizards of finance" profess. We have every facility for competing with the keenest legitimate trade but we never countenance " sweaiing," We employ firit clasa tradesmen and pay fair wages. A few of our old customers have tried the so-called " cheap suit V and found i hem " dear at any price," and many new customers who have admired first-class tailoring on their friends have dimply remarked—" 1 want a suit like you made for Mr ■ ■■." Our turnover for the lust six months shows the largest amount of business we have ever done in one ie&son. This fact speaks for itself. We have just opened a splendid assortment of new Bummer goods in all departments ;&nd by recommend ing only materials we can »uiranteo, com ijieed with good fit,, best workmanship and sfyle, we have determined to maintain out reputation as " the leading tailors and out fitters," Customers requirinj; suits for the show are respectfully invited to favor, us with their orders as early as possible as we have already a "rush" of orders in hand.— Ckaighead & Berrymah.
