BANKERS PROTEST
SECRETARY NJ ADOO'S
CHARGES OF 'USUARY'
Criticise as Unfair His
Blacklist Enumerating
Banks Charged With
Hoarding Of Currency Re-
serves.

Protests from bankers against being
held up before the country as "usurors"
and as being guilty of wifully creating
financial stringency by alleged boarding
of currency reserves began to reach the
Treasury Department today. Some cf the
letters used vigorous terms in criticising
Secretary McAdoo's campaign against
boarding and his publication of so-called
"blacklists" enumerating banks having a
surplus Of legal reserves.
That they would he subject to severe
criticism had they failed to maintain am
pie reserves under present conditions was
the tenor of the bankers protests. For
protection of themselves and their de-
postors. the protesting bankers contend,
it is only prudent to maintain more thar
the minimum legal reserves during the
war situation.
Despite the bankers protests, Secretary
McAdoo today evidenced strong inten-
tions of continuing his campaign against
money boarding. Occasional additions to
his blacklist" are planned. He is re-
ceiving many letters commencing him
for showing up" the banks guilty of
boarding and demanding excessive in
terest. Some of the letters cite instances
of alleged eXtorton and refusal of credit.
State banking commissioners of many
States are also promising cooperation.
The list given out by Secretary McAdoo
enumerated some of the national banks
in each State of the Union which are
carrying reserves largely in excess of
the legal requirements, as shown by
their reports to the Comptroller of the
Currency as of September ~.
Each one of the banks in this list is
required by law to carry reserve OF
only Is per cent. The reserves they are
holding range from % per cent. to "A per
cent If the large amount of loanable
funds that is kept from active employ
ment. as indicated by these figures was
invested in commercial or agricultural
paper. or loaned on proper security, the
present situation would be greatly i'm
proved said Mr.. McAdoo.
Some of the national banks in this city
were included in the initial list.

SENATE "SLUSH FUND"
INQUIRY GOES OVER
Resolution Aimed at Penrose and
Sullivan to Have Further Con-
sideration.


WASHINGTON. Sept. 26-The Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections to-
day failed to reach any conclusion on the
Norris resolution providing for an inves-
tigation of the expenditures in the recent
senatorial primaries In Pennsylvania and
Wednesday.
Carl S. Vrooman, of Illinois, Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture. was again be-
fore the comElittoe in connection with the
charges which have been made against
Roger sullivan, the Democratic nominee
for the Senate in Illinois. 1t had been ex-
pccted that some Pennsylvanians would
be on hand to testify that Senator PEN
rose, the Republican nominee in that
State. had spent an excessive amount in
his campaign but they did not material
ize.
Following the meeting, Senator Kern
said an opportunity would be given by
the committee to persons making charges
against these candidates to make good,
I'VE will hear any persons who wish to
come before the committee" said Senator
Kern. Though, of course, the committee
at present is not making an nvestiga-
tion, hut merely passing upon the desir-
ability of making an investigation"
Senator Hughes, one of the Democratic
members Of the committee, predicted that
the committee would not recommend an
Investigation.
$50 far nothing tangible has heen pre-
sented to the committee i'm support of
the charges made" he said. UNLESS we
get something more the resolution will
not receive Il favorable report

TALK OF EXCHANGE
OPENING STRONGEST
SINCE WAR STARTED
Conditions So Much Better
That Six Weeks Hence
May See General Resump-
ton of Active Trading.

with the passing of another week there
has come Frightening in the financial
skies which forecasts resumption Of
normal conditions earlier than has been
generally looked for. The most Inn
portant step in this direction, and one
which has had a material effect in
STRENGTHENING the situation everywhere,
was the decision of the New YORK Stock
Exchange Committee to permit trading
in unlisted securities at moderate con-
cessions from the closing prices as of
July 30 the last day on which the ex-
changes of tho country were open.
The original restriction about not per-
mittlng sales under those prices was
made so as to prevent, as far as pos
sible, the liquidation which, 1t was gem
orally believed, was to be expected be-
cause Of the war situation abroad. This
rule continued in force for more than
elk weeks. In the meantime, there has
come q satisfactory clearing of the
foreign debt situation and danger of
linuidatlon, while IL is still apparent, is
not SO pronounced as 1t was when the
order to close the exchanges was given.
wave OF optimism said to be develop
ing throughout the United States gave
rise today to the impression that the
way is being cleared for the reopening
of the New York Stock Exchange, the
4
the Cotton Exchange. 1t may be possible
10 reopen them, especially the first named
institution, by November ], provided the
Federal Reserve Bank Is working by
that time.
The announcement that dealings in un-
listed stocks at moderate concessions is
believed as the first step that ultimately
may lead to the resumption of regular
business on the exchange.
Officials of the exchange are feeling out
the financial sentiment of the country.
They are also sounding the loan situa
lion and testing the investment demand.
1t Is said the financial machine is be-
ginning to move, and that the situation
is beng developed under careful treat
ment
Bankers here today expressed the opin-
ion that the steps taken by committees
here and in New York that have been
formed to supervise the trading situa-
tion would do much to afford relief to
financial conditions generally. The fact
that trading may now be done in stocks
and bonds not listed on the exchange
at prices a few points below the July
closing, when approved by the commit,
tees makes it possible for issues to seek
the new level bases that must be ex-
pected when full resumption of trading
takes place.
No one denies the possibility of a heavy
offering of European securities as soon
as the necessary mediums are made avail
able for their disposal Each day that
the exchanges are closed, however lessons
the amount of foreign selling that may
take place.
The present war crisis is teaching
Americans the advantages attached to n
central bank in a country's financial sys-
tenn. The efficiency and resources dis
played by the Bank of England, in ham
ding the situation in Great Britain. COM
mands admiration everywhere.

AMERICA OFFERS BEST
TRADE EXPANSION MARTS
Bank Says Chances Here Are Better
Than Those Abroad.

The Franklin National Bank, in its
October digest of trade conditions, issued
today, says: The larger part OF the
newspaper space devoted to commercial
possibilities has been given over TO the
prospective increase of our South Amer
lean trade. South America imports ap-
pToxmately $1,000 600 worth of goods
year and it is unlikely that this COun-
try could get more than one-fouTth of
the total under any conditions
Leading business men are of the opn-
ion that the great trade opportunity for
American manufacturers and merchants
Is in North America. Trade possibilities
in Canada and Mexico are large, but the
greatest possibilities lie within the
boundaries of the United States.
The total volume of all crops is satls-
factory, and practically all Of them are
finding ready sale except cotton. n
will be necessary 10 manufacture our
cotton i'm order - sell IL, although II viii
be possible to carry = few million bales
over until next year as manufacturing
facilities can haNly be extended SUM-
ciently to take care all of it,"
