[PW] ?Atlas Shrugged quotation

[Williams, Lesley A.]

We have a patron who is looking for a passage in Ayn Rand's _Atlas Shrugged_ that deals with banking. The patron says it describes how banks lend money to each other overnight because they are required to maintain a certain amount of ready cash in house. I'm not familiar with the book, but I skimmed it while reading the chapter summaries from Sparknotes.com. Didn't find it, although I saw some passages in which the banker character, Midas Mulligan, complains about being forced to make a loan to an incompetent businessman named Hunsacker.
 
I also looked at the website for the Objectivist Center and Google BookSearch, but to no avail. Any ideas?
