FEDERAL BANK
OPENS MONDAY
Heavy Transfers of Re-
serves from National In
stitutiOns Expected.
WILL USE CLEARING
HOUSE PRIVILEGES
Chemical National Asks First
RediScount to Show Good
Will-All Aid Plan.

Governor Strong announced yester-
day that the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York will open for business at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. On the
first day of operation and on Tuesday
the staff will be engaged in receiving
the transfers OF reserves of the 419
member banks.
From advices which have been fur
nished US" said Governor Strong, "all
the national banks in New York City
will probably complete their transfers
of reserves on Monday, and over $751;
100000 out of the total of sol 100000
deposited by banks in this city Will be
in gold or gold certificates. A number
of the banks, including some of the
largest, have signitied their intention
of depositing some portion OF their re-
selves in excess of the minimum re-
quired. The total of such excess de-
posts will probably be over S7,OO0,OOO.
Several of the large banks will also
probably apply for rediscounts early
IN the week, and the Chemical National
Bank has asked for permission TO make
the first rediscount, in order to show
its desire to support the operations
and use the facilities of the new bank
ing system.
THE New York City banks, by trans
ferring their reserves so largely in
gold, by their willingness to make
prompt use of the rediscount privilege
so as to establish rediscounting as a
normal banking operation, and by lend
ing us a complete staff of experienced
officers and clerks, have given most
gratifying evidence of their intention
to cooperate in establishing the new
banking system"
In a letter addressed to the member
banks of the I'd Reserve District,
which includes the member banks OF
New York State, Governor Strong
points out the steps necessary in max
ing applications for rediscountlng.
Each application must be accompanied
by written statement from an oihcer
of the applying bank that of his own
knowledge and belief the original loan
was made for agricultural, industrial
or commercial purposes, and must bear
Endorsement to this effect.
Another letter of instruction advi- es
the member banks that on and after
Wednesday, November Is, the New
York Reserve Bank will receive on de-
post for collection and credit of the
proceeds TO the accounts of the mem
Der banks checks and drafts on any
Federal Reserve bank and checks and
drafts drawn by member banks on any
member bank of the cities of Albany,
Brooklyn and New York.
Until further notice deposits Of
checks, drafts and items other than
those above specified should not be
made, as they cannot be handled with
facility.
Governor Strong announced yester-
day that the Federal Reserve Bank Of
New York will not become a member Of
the New York Clearing House Associa-
ton, but it has been accorded the priv
ileges of the Clearing House and viii
effect changes through it on and after
Tuesday, November II.

BRITAIN'S BACHELORS.

England is the land Of bachelors, so
there Is plenty Of material for our
"new army" without any of the married
men. Indeed, we could safely exempt
not only the married but the betrothed
and still raise an army Of 100000 men,
assuming, as we surely may. that only
one man IN two between the ages of
twenty and thIrty-five is physically fit.
One works il out in this way: In Eng
land and Wales alone there are 4.25O.-
600 men between the ages Of twenty
and thirty-fye, and over 2.25O,OOO Of
them are bachelors To give the round
figures, between the ages Of twenty and
twenty-five there are l,275.000 bache-
lors 20 27500O married men; from
twenty-five to thirty there are 100000
bachelors 20 100000 married men (half
and half, and from thirty 70 thirty
five there are $4,000 bachelors 10
100000 married men. This gives us
our total of 2,250,000 bachelors Of all
recruitable ages in England and Wales
alone.
It remains TO show that there are
million bachelors who are not engaged
TO be married COR rather who are GER
tam not 20 marry Tor the number not
engaged to be married must be larger.
Between twenty and twenty-five, natu-
rally, most men are bachelors; to be
exact, five out of six are unmarried.
Between the ages of twenty-five and
thirty one man in two Is bachelor.
Between thirty and thirty-fve one man
in four is a bachelor Between thirty
five and forty one man IN five is
bachelor, between forty and forty-hye
one in seven, and between forty-fve
and fifty one in eight. One may con-
slider that men who are still unmarried
between thirty-fve and forty are pretty
confirmed bachelors, so one may take 1t
that one-ifth of the total male popula-
ton has no intention or expectation OF
marrS ing. This gives Us over 100000
bachelors who are likely 10 remain
bachelors Assuming half of them to
be physically ft, that gives US 100000
men. The remaining 100000 could be
thrown in by Scotland and Ireland, rep
resenting the proportion Of their popu-
lation 10 that Of England and Wales

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

A continued falling off appears in the
gross earnings of the railroads making
weekly returns to "Dun's Review" the
total of all roads reporting for October
amounting to S54,961 ,065, a reduction
of 1873 per cent as compared with the
revenues Of the same roads for the
corresponding period last year. The
depressing effect Of the cotton stu
alton is again reflected IN the contrac.
fion on the roads at the South. Of
these the Louisville & Nashville system
showed a decline of about % per cent,
the Southern of nearly 10 per cent and
the Illinois Central Of more than ~
per cent.
Following are given the gross earn
ings of roads reporting for October
and loss as compared with earnings OF
the same roads for the corresponding
month a year ago. also for roads that
renorted for the two preceding months,
together with the percentages Of loss
compared with last year:

ing and power business of the DAYTON
Power and Light Company is indicated
by an expansion of nearly Ii per cent
IN gross returns for the month of Octo-
Der. compared with an increase Of near
ly Is per cent in net income over the
same month in 1913. Total revenue
from commercial lighting amounted TO
SSS.O4l, against S33, 1922 last year; com
mercial power sales were S29.663 and
other income derived from the sale of
power for municipal consumption, rail
way operation, etc, brought the total
gross income up 10 SS2,470. There was
expended for operating charges $i5,45O,
leaving net income Of $4,000. After
payment Of bond interest, sinking fund
requirements, interest on floating debt
and preferred stock dividends the COM
pany was able 60 show a surplus of
Sl0,1S5, which compares with SITS
for October of last year. Operating
ratio decreased from 56.72 per cent to
BOIL per cent.
New York Railways.
The income report Of the New York
Railways Company for August shows
a slight contraction both in gross and
net returns, total revenue amounting
TO Sl.146,037 in gross, decrease of
S39,2SS, and net earnings after taxes
were S347,5S2, $500 less than for the
same month in 1913. Other income
was greater than last year, resulting in
a gain of S2.S67 in the total income
over 1918. After providing for interest
requirements on underlying bonds and
refundlng As there remained a surplus
of Sl03,995. as compared with 500, 72j

ended August 81 totalled S2,2S0,50 a
decrease Of $3.50, while net revenue
after taxes decreased from S694.1S4 to
S679.935. and the surplus was S192 ,204,
loss Of S9,6l4. The number of pas
sengers carried in the two months
totalled 4l,7S6,924, against 46,45S,465
last year and 44,67S,201 in 1912.
Central State Utilities.
Combined returns from public utility
companies operating in the central
states indicate that these properties are
being adversely affected by the present
commercial depression, although a
steady growth in income is reported by
few sections in this territory. Re
turns as compiled by "The Electrical
World" Of the electrical industry for
August, excluding Illinois, show that
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin
kept up to the growth established in
previous months, the southwest centra!
states fell down but slightly, while the
other two sections, the northwest and
southeast, showed a considerable de
cline in growth rate. The combined
figures for the states in the central
group from about three-fourths Of the
electric utility industry show the
growth rate to have fallen approx
mately so per cent.

Bank Clearings.

More favorable business conditions
are indicated by the continued gain in
bank ciearlngs over recent preceding
weeks. Aggregate payments, as report
ed to "Dun's Review" still compare
adversely with the preceding year, the
total last week being S2,285, 1865. SAB.
against S2,97l,26l,737 in 1913, de-
crease Of 23.l per cent. This loss is ex-
planned oy the fact that trading has
not yet been resumed at a number Of
the leading speculative markets. The
effect OF this is most apparent at New
York City, where there appears de-
cline OF 32.2 per cent The falling off
at the outside centres amounts 70 only
SO per cent. Average daily bank clear
lngs for the year are given below for

WHEAT UP IN CHICAGO
Exporters Cause Recovery
Corn Declines.

Chicago, Nov. 14-Persistent buying
by exporters forced a rally IN the
wheat market to-day, after an early
break. There was a nervous close at
isc 10 sc net advance. Corn finished
sc to 14c under last night, oats with
gain Of &c and provisions varying
from unchanged figures to decline OF
Zoe. At first the foreign demand IN
the wheat trade seemed likely to make
little if any impression against the
unsettling effects of peace rumors.
Some of the larger firms here, how
ever, received from their own European
representatives flat denials that the
peace talk had any real basis, and
when early sellers tried to cover it was
found that the accumulated buying for
exporters had left the pit bare of any
floating supply. Range of prices:

Price Improvement Continued in
Fairly Active Market-Oils
i'm Demand.

Business in tho outside securities
market yesterday was moderately &C
tive, with a general improvement in
security prices. Pronounced strength
was noted in the oil shares, which were
in good demand at prices ranging from
, TO points above Fridays close.
Automobile shares developed consider
able strength on small transactions,
Kelly Springfield Tire advancing 2
points. Riker g. Hegeman and United

tionary, both showing fractional losses.
The mining group was less prominent,
apart from Jumbo Extension, which

COTTON MARKET
MORE CONFIDENT
Rushing Work for Opening Ex-
change-Liverpool and New
Orleans Also to Open.

The Cotton Exchange floor was
very busy place on Saturday. Tele-
phones were being installed, official
notices Issued, changes in firms made
public, brokers recalled from vaca-
tons and quotation boards put in
order Official announcement was re-
ceived from Liverpool that beginning
at p. m. on Monday next that market
will begin unrestricted trading in
May-June EDWARDS, except that no
transactions further off than fifteen
months will be permitted Prior to
o'clock trading will be restricted 10
May-June only, as for the last few
days. As New Orleans will reopen
Monday also, IL will mean a resump-
ton of business on all the big ex-
changes with the beginning Of the
new week. Not a few believed that
an increase Of exports &c Europe would
follow the opening of the exchanges,
as foreign buyers not only would have
an opportunity 10 hedge but would
feel more confidence in the stability Of
prices. IL was pointed out that al
ready the amount on shipboard not
cleared is In excess Of last yeac. while
the consumption of United States mills
for October showed an increase of
per cent over September. As COM
pared with October last year, however,
the census figures showed that domes-
tic mills used about 81 900 bales less.
The active spindles in October were
about 100000 less than for the same
month a year ago. That cotton is be-
ing held back is evidenced by the fact
that while ginning 20 November -
was estimated at 100000 bales, only
3,507000 bales had come into sight.
In the big crop year of 1911 $4,000
bales had come into sight in the same
period, out of ll.3l3000 ginned, or
over half. Private estimates Of the
amount picked in Texas 70 date were
80 per cent, and that 80 per cent will
have been gathered by the first of De-
cember if present weather continues.
Announcement was received late Sat
urday that New Orleans will close
daily at p. m. g o'clock New York
time), except Saturday, when il will
close at II a. m. (12 o'clock New York
time).
