FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
ARE EELECT|NG DIRECTORS
Board Has Had Number of Problems
to Decide Since Inauguration
Of System.

Election of directors of the twelve
federal reserve banks of the new cur
rency system are now in progress for
the second time. The first time electors
were chosen the organization commit
tee was stir in charge of the inaugura- :
tion of the system, and made rulings on
the method of procedure. The federal
reserve board has had a number OF
problems to decide this time.
In some districts 1t has appeared that
only one eligible candidate was nomi-
mated for a given place. The question
has arisen how the preferential voting
system under the act shall be carried
on The federal reserve board has
taken the view that where only one or
two candidates are nominated prefer
entail ballots may be limited to one or
two choices as the case may be with
out invalidating the ballot. but that
where three or more candidates are
nominated the preferential ballot must
be completely filled.
In the case of electors representing
the several banks. empowered to cast
the ballot of those banks, the board Is
urging the election of such electors.
Where directors meetings OF memoer
banks are not to be held for some time
chosen last year to cast the ballot OF
the bank this year.
Chairman of Each Bank Recognized. d.
In addition, however. the board is
recognizing the chairman of each BANK
as being in full charge Of the process
of electing electors and directors.
1t has sent all federal reserve agents.
in accordance with this theory. the foF
lowing telegram:
Organization committee in holding
previous elections acted as chairman or
board of federal reserve banks. and It's
rulings were made in that capacity
Questions submitted involve interpre-
tation of United States statutes. In
making. rulings in present election you
may consult counsel for bank. or are
at liberty to consult counsel for board.
who will advise you as to rulings by
organization committee in previous
elections for your Information. While
it is desirable that procedure in all
districts should be uniform and sug-
eestions are made to that end. de-
Termination of questions arising under
statute rests with chairman OF Doaro
of each bank.

morrow. but today the improvement
was sufficient to show records in five
stocks and in three bond isSueS-not
especially active, but comparatively,
decidedly lively.

WEATHER PREDICTIONS
HAVE BULLISH INFLUENCE
Traders Are Conspicuous Buyers To-
day-Advancing Liverpool Prices
Also Handicap Bears.

CHICAGO, November 10.-Predictions
OF snow and cold and rain had a bullish
effect today on wheat. Traders who
professed to believe that the maximum
of the spring crop movement had been
reached were conspicuous buyers. Ad-
vancing prices at Liverpool tended to
handicap the bears. After opening "a a
4 to Ba1 higher with December 102es
to 1o3 and May at 1881 to 1O41a. the
market here scored a material further
upturn.
Gains for Corn Also.
Corn, like wheat. felt the influence OF
unsettled weather. Poor husking re-
turns counted also as a reason for
higher prices. The opening, which
ranged from Aaas to ssaA advance.
was followed by moderate additional
gains.
Firmness developed in oats as re-
suit of the strength of other cereals.
Business, however. was light.
Lower prices on hogs weakened pro-
visions. Arrivals of hogs throughout
the west were remarkably numerous,
compared with the corresponding time
either last week or a year ago.
A setback for wheat took place later.
Influenced by weakness in the stock mar
ket and by reports that some European
