Increased Demand for Rails.

pOIHtS.
Increased Demand for Rails.
Heavy offerings of United States Steel
prompted profit-taking in equipments
and specialties. but the list was largely
sustained by an increased demand Tor
rails.
Hudson. Norfolk and Western. LehiEh
Valley. Baltimore and Ohio. Chesapeake
and Ohio. New Haven and Rock Island
issues gained from l to 2k points.
Motors and shippings were heavy,
United Fruit being the only strong fea-
ture of the latter group.
Sinclair Oil and Industrial Alcohol
made extreme declines of almost
points. and Ohio Gas lost 4.
Prices became more irregular at noon
on the per cent money rate.
Bonds were steady, the liberty issue
holding at par.
On Banks Reserves.
The Richmond regional bank of the
federal reserve system has notified all
member banks that the officials desire
to have reserves. as far as possible,
transferred to the Richmond institution
by June %. but that no penalty will be
assessed if transfers are delayed until
July is.
Some local bankers find reason for
some regret in the transfer of all re-
serves to the regional bank for the
reason that it forces them to keep
larger reserves than formerly. even
though the recently enacted laws re-
duce the reserve requirements to 10
per cent on demand and per cent on
time deposits in place of the Is per
cent distributed in vault. in central
reserve banks and in regional banks.
Heretofore the banks counted their
cash as part of their reserve, which
they cannot do under the new law.
Bankers differ on the amount of till
cash needed to do business. but in a
city like Washington, where there are
SO many wage workers, with bank ac-
counts that are in way used simply
to facilitate the payment of bills by
check, the cash in TIL will have to
be very large. relatively
Bank officials also claim that they
will have to maintain good balances
in New York. as the limited size of
drafts $3.50 that may be drawn on
the reserve regional banks in other
than the fifth district is a bar to the
use of the service.
Equipments more than regained their
losses on the activity of the early aft
ernoon. and improvement extended to
other groups. This was again dispelled
however, by persistent selling of United
States Steel and renewed heaviness in
oils and motors.
The closing was better than the low
