To conditions brought about in the cot

Richmond Reserve Bank attributes its
rcma rkably prosperous condition at the
end OF it's first calendar year, in a report
issued Yesterday. The uniformly compli-
mCntary attitude of Northern banks
toward those In the Southern part of the
district is commented on in the report.
which is signed by William Ingle. who
recently resigned as chairman OF the
board. The report says, in part:
Trade acceptance must find its first
development in manufacturing and
distributing centers. At larger points,
and especially at cities in the north
ern half of the district, the price of
credit has been so low that attention
has not generally attracted to bills
of exchange, as opposed to other forms
of negotiable paper as offering pecu-
liar advantages. From scattered direc-
tions the bank has received a limited
quantity of such paper.
In the presence of a preferred rate
its use will spread. although much
educa ational work must be done. Since
PRONUNCIATION OF the open market
regulations little opportunity has been
offered this bank to enter the field.
Very few member banks in this dis
trict have accepted paper for sale, and
such as has been made has been dis
posed of elsewhere at prices which it
was not thought wise to meet"

PENSION fight BACKED
BY PINEY BRANCH FOLK
Citizens Association lndorses Legisla-

poses Proposed Hospital Site.

The Piney Branch Citizens Associa-
ton last night added its name 10 the long
list OF civic organizations that have
pledged their support to the police and
firemen Of the city in securing an ade-
Quste pension and retirement law from
/ Congress at this session. The acuon was
taken on motion of Z. s. CIsrkson.
More than a dozen organizations have
indorsed the pension bills now pending in
Congress since The Herald pointed out
a little more than a month ago. that the
ever-growing deficit In the present fund
was more than $4,000.
The Piney Branch association renewed
it's fight on the proposed location OF the
new Washington Asylum Hospital at
Fourteenth and Upshur streets, claiming
that the institution would be a nuisance
TO the neighborhood. The Federation OF
Citizens Associations and the Board of
Charities will be asked TO join in the
fight.
On motion OF William F. Peabody. the
association voted to urge the extension
OF underground current system on the
Georgia avenue line of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company as far
out as the car barns at Georgia avenue
and Military road.

BONDS In GOOD DEMAND

Local traders in the New York list
who liquldated Friday felt justified in
posing as wise men after the New York
market close yesterday. With the eXcep-
ton OF coppers, recession predominated
and for no very tangible reason, as far
as surface conditions indicated. The ar
rival OF a large liner loaded with Ameri-
can securities from abroad had the effect
of somewhat absting confidence in the
report that Mr.. Morgan would negotiate
second war loan while abroad. and
the political developments over the holi-
day were not favorably received in
certin quarters, but the best judgment
seemed that the depression was OF bearish
origon. Crucibe and similar issues, which
for the past two weeks, have been bulled
strongly, suffered most.
In wire to Hibbs G. Co. here, Logan
G. Bryan summed up the situation after
close yesterday as follows:
Except from a technical viewpoint
which Is transitory. the situation has not
been altered materially during the past
week or so. and while selling movements
having as their object forced liquids-
ton may promote further irregularity
still we believe that advantage should
be taken OF the downturn to make pur-
chases of the better class Of stocks"

Indications that the American govern

that American goods exported to neutral

many in the forthcoming contra ba nd note

tion made by DIR. Henry Van Dyke,
American Minister to The Hague after

Minister Van Dyke declared that Hol-
land has placed embargoes on practically
all COntraband and conditional contra
