BANKERS HOLD JOBS
DESPITE CLAYTON ACT
Directors Here Fail to Resign to
Meet New Law Effective
in October

No destinations from the directorates
Of the National Banks in this city 10
comply with the "interoCking-direc
torate" clause of the Clayton antitrust
law were reported at the annual meet
ings Of the various institutions today.
In view of the fact that the clause is
effective on October Is. 1916 IL was be-
lieved that there would be many changes
in the boards of directors.
This belief however was dispelled when
it became known that for the most part
the retiring directors were reelected,
with additions in several instances but
not one resignation reported.
one of the citv's foremost bankers said
there was a feeling on the part Of bank
directors here that the ''interlocking-
directorate" clause would be stricken
from the law by Congress before the date
on which 1t is to go into effect.
81 am afraid II is n useless hope" he
declared. "and should not be surprised
to see many directors resignng when
october l5 comes around"
The Clayton act specifies. according
TO an opinion recently given by the coun-
sci for the Federal Reserve Board, that
after October 15 1916. mo person shall
at the same time be a director of more
than one bank organized or operating
under the laws of the United States either
of which has deposits, capital, surplus
and undivided profits aggregating more
than S5,0OO0.0OO.
Four additional directors were elected
at the meeting of tho Union National
Bank, They are Nathan T. Folwell.
Samuel T. Lands, II. H. Barton. Jr, and
Edward Wolf. They formerly were direc-
tors of the Manufacturers National
Bank, which recently was merged with
the Union. The ~ retiring directors of
the Union National Bank were reelected,
Paul Thompson, vice president of the
United Gas Improvement Company, was
elected a director of the Corn Exchange

retiring directors were reelected. James
A. Campbell was elected a director of the
Robert Morris Trust Company TO fill a
vacancy and four rtiring directors We're
reelected.

tors was elected:

BETTER TONE ON CURB
Traders Helped Advance-Inside Sup
port Good

NEW YORK, Jan, 1i,-There was
decidedly better tone mi the market for
outside securities today, and while slight
recessions were shown in number of
important issues at the outset, before the
first hour a stronger tone developed on
what looked to be good inside support
Traders were conspicuous in ehlping the
advance, although at times some irreg-
ularity developed on realizing.
Curtiss Aeroplane, which was conspio-
uOus yesterday at an advance of ten
points on active dealings. failed to show
any animation worthy OF mention, while
the price moved at a range of about a
point briggs -Seabury, however. moved
up about ten points, due in part 10 the
large contracts secured by the Savage
Arms Company. AIidvale Steel. after
small recession. rose a point but later
eased Off slightly.
Cuba Cane Sugar was again active on
what looked TO be inside purchases and
advanced about y. Motor stocks were
somewhat irregular with continued heavi-
ness in White Motors. Peerless, after an
Improvement of a point, lost the advance.

COTTON INCLINED TO SAG.
BUT OFFERINGS WERE SMALL
New Orleans Bought March and
Liverpool Took October

NEW YORK, Jan. 1i.-Business was
small on the Cotton Exchange this morn
ing. The tone was about steady, with
initial prices showing losses of TO 4
points. The only feature was the mod
erately heavy selling by prominent Wall
street house, which was generally be-
levcd to be long liquidation for the ac-
count of Western interests.
New Orleans houses bought a small
amount of March. while Liverpool took
some October. After the call the demand
decreased. with the result that small SELL
ing orders forced prices down to
points.
The early decline under Wall street,
Southern and Western selling. carried
prices about II to 10 points under last
nights closing figures. Liverpool was a
good buyer on this decline, however, and
the market turned steadier during the
middle of the morning. with the active
months wo ing back to within or q
points Of yesterdays finals
Slight precipitation was quite general in
the cotton belt this morning. Tempera-
lures were higher.
The receipts OF cotton at the ports
for the day are estimated at 10000
bales. compared with 4S.676 bales last
week, 92,417 bales last year and 62,6l6

PARIS, Jan. 1f.-According to the latest
figures, the loan brought in more than
Is. 200, 100000 francs. or $4,000 100000. In
round numbers, OF which si,0600OO,OOO was
new money
The latest declaration from Germany
on the fall in the value OF the mark Is
that IL is due TO a conspiracy of which
England is the head OF course, this is
foolish, but, moreover. the fall in value
of the mark Is due not only to material
facts but also to the loss OF confidence
of investors in the financial and military
situation of Germany.
II Germany could buy freely instead Of
getting In her supplies by contraband
methods the fall of the mark would be
still more serious.
Germany talks OF Russia owing France
is, OOo. .OOOO 600 francs, but this is absurd.
Only 4s per cent. of the Russian debt is
held outside of that country, and this Is
divided among France, England. Belgium,
Switzerland. Italy and Germany.
German newspapers talk of France hav-
ing to pay 5000 10000 francs as part of
an indemnity after the war. without
doubt there will be questions of indemnity
In the terms of peace, but It will be Ger
many and Austria who will have to pay
and the difficulty will be to find resources
against which an indemnity can be
charged.
