NJ ADOO "a PROBE
BUSINESS CANNER
TREASURY HEAD SEEKS TO
LEARN CAUSES OF DEPREs
SION AND REMEDY.

Washington, July 1.-Secretary Of
the Treasury McAdoo is going to find
out, If he can, whether the business de-
preston is purely psychological, as
characterized by President Wilson, and
whether the United States treasury
can be Of aid to commercial and indus
trial enterprises by the deposit Of gov
eminent funds in the banks.
The secretary today sent to the Pres
ident of every national bank in the
country a set of inquiries concerning
the prospective need for funds for the
moving of crops and for other CONNER
cial needs. He stands ready to de-
post in the banks 100000 or more,
as was done last year, to meet the de.
mands Of commerce in the west and
south.
II the replies of the banks show a
great demand for money 1t will be
argued that business is booming and
that the depression is psychological"
Others will draw the inference that
government deposits are desired be-
cause business enterprises find 1t i'm
possible to pay loans obtained from the
banks and are renewing their notes.
"Passes the Buck" to Banks.
'1n view of all the calamity bowling.
it looks as if Mr.. McAdoo has passed
the buck to the banks said Demo
cratic senator last night.
The letter intmates that there MAJ
be some delay in the organization OF
the federal reserve board. which is
causing the department anxiety. IT
states emphatically, however, that the
department stands ready at all times,
whether the organization of the new
banking system is delayed or not to
aid legitimate business in every way.
Some bankers regard the questions
there may be protest against answers
to them. Secretary McAdoo has en-
phasized in his letter that he intends
to use them only for the purpose of aid
ing the banks, but, nevertheless, per-
sral of the questions will show that
the information CLAIMED from the an
swers. if they are in any way complete,
will give the treasury department con
ltfoi of vast knowledge of business con-
ditions throughout the country

and description of how to make love

MUTT AND JEFF

NEW YORK. April 5.-The progress
sive slowing down Of business on the
stock exchange was carried further
today, and much of the time the mar
ket was at a standstill. Price move
ments were narrow, and In only a few
cases did they vary a point from Sat
urday's close. In spite of the small
amount of buying. there was still APP
parent the scarcity of stocks which
has been a noticeable featuNe of the
market for some time. To satisfy the
scattering buying orders IL was neces-
sary TO raise quotations slightly in
nearly every case. Toward the close
the list eased on slightly. Almost the
only evidence or public interest lay in
the sustained inquiry for high grade
bonds. Accumulation of idle money
here, which Is largely the outgrowth
fsluggish business conditions, has
progressed 10 a point where a large
volume OF funds is seeking employ
ment A large number of railroads,
operating in various sections, made
their February returns today, and in
almost every case severe shrinkage IN
earning were shown. Total sales 106,-
100 shares.

general the bond market was firm.
Total sales 100000.
