today. The Federal Reserve Board is
sues a monthly bulletin, in which appear
various statements of what the board
has done.

bulletin contains the statement made

board had issued another warning of the
kind. This. coming on top of the cur

has cancelled war orders here In order
to discipline the board for its warning
to the banks, set the Wall Street imag-
ination aflame.
Stocks were sold heavily and prices fell
two points from the level reached at the
opening, which was buoyant. Explana-
ton of the mistaken announcement was
followed by a complete recovery
