LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The statement that an advance was
made of more than II points in the bid
for Georgetown Gas stock at today
meeting of the stock exchange might in
dicate an active market for that stock.
But there were no transactions. The
stock was for sale, or rather it was Of
fered, at the same figure as it has been
for some time past. The bid advanced
through what appeared to be the friendly
competition of two brokers. one OF whom
said he would bid an eighth of a point
better than any bid made by the other.
In this way the figures were changed
from 81 to 921a
The business of the exchange was today
light, as usual Some odd lots or WASH

POINTS OUT DEFECTS
IN AMERICAN BANKING
Suggestions for Reform Made
by Sir Edmund Walker, Ca
madam Financier.

Sir Edmund Walker, a Canadian bank
form committee of the House. declared
the defects of the United States bank
ing system were lack of flexible cur
rency. fixed reserve which dissipated
needed cash i'm times of stress. and the
absence of rediscount bank.
Sir Edmund declared that the banks of
the United States had not grown in rela-
ton to the great industries of the coun-
try, and that they We're now behind the
times" He recommended a system OF
regional banking organizations to
strengthen the individual banks. but said
that he was not in favor of the Aldrich
plan without qualifications.
Advises Issue of Asset Currency.
In these regional divisions, he said the
banks should be allowed to issue ass It
currency, in bank note form. which would
appear as it was needed and disappear
when the need for it had passed. The
national bank note system. he said, should
be continued and perfected.
The witness thought that III addition
to maintaining the national banking sys-
tenn, the individual banking system
should be aided by the government He
that permission be granted
to private bankers to establish large
hanks in the large cities of the country
with branches in foreign countries, He
said that bad banking could not be pre-
vented by government guarantee of de-
