 Demanded and May Pass


 rs,fcy. and how freely it will be bought in this country and foreign countries
 The bill recommended " the subcom- mttees provides, roughly speaking to have focal units called farm loan asso cations, whose sole function will be to issue loans on first mortgages on farm lands for specific purposes-to be some thing like building and :oan assoclauons in their scope. No deposits will be taken and no checking business will be done and no elaborate offices will Dc required thus permitting the exercise of great econ- omy. The sole functions of the units will be to make .'only good loans ana then to rediscount these loans, so t. speak. with federal 'aitd bank.
 Of the land banks there would be one in each federal reserve city. thus making q dozen. The banks are TO obtain thei capital by having 10 per cent of the capi- ta1 of the farm loan associations, anu Will have capital of not less than S50o.- 0t0 each. Their function IS planned vii be to take farm loans from the oea, associations and then make those sarlt' loans the basis for an issue of farm loan boisds- The local associations and tho land banks would divide between them per cent annually on the oulstandins loans. thus limiting their expenses to per cent only.
 Objections Are Answered
 In reply to objections concerning the sovernment-aid feature. the two suJ- committees argue that this provides mere ly that the federal reserve board at iis disci etion may require the treasury lc purchase certain amount of farm loan bonds each year, not eeulne s50,09o- eco in any single P months. This pro vision is designed to givc the bonds id standing in the money markets of tn world.

Strong demand for dehorned heifers
and cows. Hog market heavy to a
shade weaker during the first half of
the week, but partially recovered to-
ward the close. Bulk of best light hogs
sold from $3.50 to $S.65 with few
loads at $50. A good supply of stock
hogs at country points, but feed is
scarce and growers are not getting
their holding ready for market as easy
as usual. Sheep house receipts light
Lambs sold up to $6.75. Best wool
wethers 1915 and 5000 featured, but
few ewes sales were made. Mutton
