THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

New York. December s.-Sentiment
in financial circles was considerably
heartened today by the decision OF the
stock exchange to resume trading in
stocks on Saturday. This feeling was
accumulated not so much in the volume
of business for bonds and stocks. which
fell under the recent high level, but
in the firmer tendency shown by
nearly all classes of securities. More.
over. the days list of stocks submitted
for publication showed several addi-
lions to that issued yesterday. indicat-
ing steady extension OF the demand
While no apprehension was enter
tanned respecting the wisdom of the
move made by the exchange, 1t may
be said that every precaution to In
sure its success will be taken. The fact
that it has not been deemed necessary
to form a money pool to be used as
backstop against heavy liquidation
was in itself regarded as an indica :
ton that offerings would find ready
absorption. Another safeguard will be
found in the level Of prices at which
all stocks over SIS may be sold.

by commission and what he described
as illegel Interference by federal Of
ficers with private business were de-
nounced here tonight by Senator Weeks
of Massachusetts in speech before
the Illinois Manufacturers association.

CONGRESS NAMES A
COMMITTEE TO LOOK
INTO COTTON CRISIS

ttontfuutu from f-MEe Onet
the Senate. is to enable many large state
banks and trust companies which have
built up an immediate business In financ-
ing expectations and importations to be-
come members of the federal reserve sys-
tenn. They are virtually excluded from
this membership now because of the re-
striction in the present law combining the
volume of banking operations to an
amount equal to one-half of the bank or
trust company's paidup capital and SUR
plus.
Bills Disposed OF
or the other two bills, one was sent
back to the committee and the other re-
jected as unnecessary. The first would
have permitted member banks of the re-
serve system to deposit for a temporary
period within federal reserve banks their
portion OF the bank reserves required to
be kept in the vaults Administration
leaders eontended that with the sharp Diff
ferences in committee and no apparent ne
cessity for immediate action the bill well
could be left in committee
The Senate amended the bill to increase
use of commercial paper up to 100 per
cent of unimpaired capital and surplus as
a basis of emergency currency under the
Aldrich-V reeland law, which was the We
hicle of the Henry cotton currency plan,
as motion of Representative Henry to
recommit the bill to the banking and
currency commnittee, with instructions TO
report the bill back with the cotton propo-
sition was the unfinished business. On a
roll call the Henry motion was beaten,
161 to 81. Representative Glass then tried
to withdraw the commercial paper bill,
because 1t no longer was desired or neces-
sary, but Mr. Henry objected. ana the
bill went TO vote and was rejected PCS
to %.
Mr.. Glass has aseertained from the fed
eral reserve board that the emergency
currency was being retired as rapidly as
possible. rather than being issued, and
that II was expected that within a short
time all emergency currency would be
retired and replaced by the federal reserve
notes.

morning when the people of Baraboo
awoke there was not even the stub of
match to show that there had been
much excitement during the previous
week. The carnival came under the
auspices of the Baraboo Commercial
association and the club is to be highly
commended on the fine appearance of
the streets on Sunday morning. 1t was
possibly disappointment to some but
it was of an agreeable kind and the
club showed that it has the right kind
of stuff III it. The early rain on Satur-
day night and inclement weather during
portion of the week kept down the
receipts. After all expenses are paid
the local club will have something like
500 to the good. The carnival has
gone to Oshkosh where the people will
have coolies and coolies of fun this
week.
