SHIPPING TIED
UP BY STORM

Portland, Me-, Nov. 16.-Shippins
was completely paralyzed last night
and early today by the most severe
storm which has swept along the
coast this fall While all the coast
wise steamers remained tied up IN
port the little sailing craft in the
coasting trade remained at anchor -
the harbor today owing to the ire
mendous sea running outside the
harbor
The wind reached a velocity of As
miles an hour early this morning anu
blew from 40 to As miles an hour the
greater part CT the night. The strong
southeast gale was accompanied BY
heavy rain squalls and from T. M.
last night until noon today the total
rainfall amounted to "a of an inch.
There is every indication that the
storm of last night and today will be
followed by the lowest temperature
marks of the fall season as a severe
cold wave is sweeping across the coun-
try. Cold wave signals were displayed
at the local weather bureau at noon
and according to reports received from
the Western section of the country
the temperature was four below zero
this morning.
While the wind blew fully So miles
an hour at sea early this morning nc
wrecks had been reported up to a late
hour this afternoon. Rumors were cir
culated along the water front early
today that the steamer st. Helena
which left here yesterday for san
Francisco via the Panama canal, had
gone ashore off this port, but little
faith Is placed in the report as II is
believed that Captain Odland would
have sent out a wireless call for as
sistance. had his vessel gotten into
trouble during the storm. All the YES

placed in their vaults.
Members of the Federal Reserve
Board felt today they had established
the system just when conditions pre-
sented excellent opportunity to test its
value. Ability of the reserve banks to
to rediscount commercial paper has
been looked to as means of providing
financial machinery for the movement
of crops and meeting general business
needs.
The chief attraction and value of the
new system, according to its incep-
tors, are to be found in the elasticity
it will give to recognized paper cur
rency The federal reserve notes which
will probably replace the familiar ma
tional banknotes will be issued on
commercial paper arising out of actu-
al bushes stranctions. II is designed
that they will rise and fall in amount
according to the flow in the tide of
business. They viii be government OBJ
legations. having back of them a large
gold reserve in the regional banks.
Reserve banks through them, are ex-
pected TO aid member banks having
good paper, but needing cash.
