z. & C.. Randolph-The statement Of
bank clearings throughout the United
States points very clearly to one peril
nent fact in the situation. Outside of
New York the gain In clearances over
the same week a year ago Is ] IA per
cent. and to this extent only has the
commercial activity Of the country ap-
parently been affected. The various re-
ports made by the trade journals to-
day bear out very distinctly the fact
that pessimism In the centers identified
with stock market operations Is dis
tinctly at variance with the current trade
returns and the feeling In the sections
of the country influenced by the very
generally favorable crop returns. The
market was a small Saturday affair. with
prices backing and filling within narrow
limits, and closing with considerable ir-
regularity.
Investment brokers are said to antici-
pate that the favorable views Of Mr..
Scbi0 rerardins the business ana ena,.
cial outlook will increase the buying by
people who have been out OF the market
for a long time. but have been accumu-
lating funds for bargain opportunities.

was indorsed today practically with
out amendment by the democratic mem
bers of the House banking and currency
committee. After some discussion they
agreed on the proposed salary of $780,
900 year for each member of the
board.
The bin was amended, however. to
provide that the four members of the
board to be appointed by the President
should be distributed geographically
throughout the country, and to require
that they should devote all of their
time to their duties on the board.
The conference considered the terms
on which state banks may become mem
bers of the regional reserve banks and
the division of earnings. The provision
limiting shareholders to an annual cum
ulative dividend of per cent was APP
proved.
1t was agreed that all of the net
earnings of the reserve banks above
the per cent cumulative dividends to
the stockholders, should be paid to the
United States government the 20 per
cent surplus of each bank remaining
the property of the government, so as
to put the stock holding banks at all
times on an equal basis.
