Congressional Notes

The export trade of the United
States during the past ten years, from
1903 to 1913, increased by approx.
mately $1,000,000,O00, whereas in the
preceding 80 years, 1873 to 1903, 1t
increased only $917,000,000, according
to the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce.
To benefit farmers, the rural credit
commission recommended to congress
that banks with a capitalization as
low as $4,000 will be allowed to be-
come member banks of the new fed
eral reserve system. The commission
contends that the present limit Of
$4,000 prevents the benefits of the
system being extended to a large de-
gree to the farmers.
