Banks Ask Amendment
OF Farm Loan Act
Reorganization of Private
Mortgage Institutions Would
Follow, They Tell Board

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Representa-
tives of the Farm Mortgage Bankers
Association, which holds more than
81 600 OOO, 900 worth Of farm securities
asked the Farm Loan Board to-day Tor
assistance in amending the act to pave
the way for reorganization of private

the farm loan system.
They told the board that the mort
gage banks are prevented under the
present law from becoming joint stock
land banks. of which only four now
exist in the entire country, by restrlc-
ton of the interest rate on mortgages
to per cent, and the limitation of joint
stock banks operation to the state IN
which they exist and one contiguous
state.
Board members promised to take the
situation under advisement. Bankers
representatives from New York, Chi

Indianapolis, st. Louis, Kansas City,
Wichita, Spokane, Rochester, Dallas
and Americas, Ca, attended the con-
ference.

Government Buying
Keeps Trade at
High Water Mark

ne nece sity of exercising caution
4 time when prices are inordinateiy
l. gh is having an effect on business
ointment, but, according to Brad
streets over and beyond any such
conditions is the fact that trade, whole
sale and jobbing, is good, that retail
distribution is improving and that in
dustry could not very well be more
active.
"Of course" the trade journal says,
"thc stupenioas buying campaign OF
the government, the greatest ever wit
ressed in the history of any country,
cvershadows everything else, and eX-
tends out TO a veritable myriad of
lines, thus creating superactivity, the
true degree of which it is difficult to
measure at this juncture. OF course,
the government will continue to be the
all-important factor in the general sit
uation, the overwhe ming success OF
the second Liberty Loan assuring vast
expenditures for some time to come.
But alongside of government demand
marches a good volume Of ordinary
buying. most strikingly exhibited at
centres contiguous to environments. but
also roted in the South as whole,
where 2S-cent cotton is a. stimulating
influence, and in other sections where
profitable prices are being realized for
cereals
"Dun's Review" this week says that
while ordinary demands, as dstin-
guished from governmental require
ments, hold up surprisingly well under
the conditions, and in not few in
stances are broadening, the changing
character of consumption, with pur-
chases more largely confined to staples.
is mere conspicuous feature, and
there is plain evidence of an increasing
practice of economy in many direc-
tions In all its branches business is
dominated by the exigencies OF the
war period, and in some manufactur-
ing lines, especially, there is continued
waiting until more can be determined
about the future"

Railway Identification
City Bank Says 1t May Come
on Large Scale After the War

The possibilities of railway electri-
fication are especially interesting at
this time because they suggest VAT
field opening for construction WORK IN
this country and throughout the world,
as soon as capital and labor can be had
for it, according to thtYNationa. City
Bank. There is naturally" the bank
says, "a feeling of uncertainty and APP
prehension as to industrial conditions
after the war. Ike demand f,r war
material will fall off, the supply Of
labor on the market will be greatly in
creased, and it is question whether
all of this labor can be promptly placed
in employment. 1t will be the most
stupendous reorganization of Industry
ever known, and it is going 70 be y
great social problem to accomplish this
change without confusion. loss o. con-
fidence and a period of stagnati)n. 1t
is important that plans be laid en-
large scale TO take up the slack, ard
other countries are laying them. In
this country, ready at hand, IS tn task
of equipping the railroads, and o'hef
industries where practicable. to operate
by electric power. The undertaking
would involve an enormous amount OF
work and of many kinds. Hydro-elec-
trio plants would require III construc-
ton a great amountxof labor, cement,
steel. and heavy machinery. The de-
mand for copper would take the place
of the war demand for that metal, and
keep the copper mines busy. The de-
mand for electrical equipment of all
kinds, including locomotives. would be
very great, for the enlargement OF the
facilities for supplying electric power
would cause electricity to be more
generally adopted for all the industries.
The amount of work in sight, If gen.
eral scheme of electrifcation was UNI
dertaken, would be sufficient TO relieve
the business community OF its fears as
TO idleness and poor trade for some
years to come. and would thus encour-
age other enterprises to go ahead.
"The danger will be in n per'asive
feeling of uncertainty, causing men to
wait with their own plans until they
can discern the general trend. and
waiting Of itself slows down business:
Large plans for the employment OF
labor which can be brought definitely
forward at the critical time will serve
to inspire confidence and support the
whole situation.
The strength Of the proposal Is IN
the great amount Of work Of semi
public character which IL is possible
to have done, and which would not only
tide the country over the period Of
industrial uncertainty. but serve to put
the country's Industries upon more
economical basis permanently. Any
reduction in the cost Of power will
strengthen the country's position in
the competitive situation after the war.
Every saving Of this character viii les
sen the necessity for wage reductions
after the war;

Curb on Short
Selling Causes
Rally in Stocks
Lively Buying of Steel Com
mon Features Rebound
in Market

As a result Of the steps Unexpectedly
taken by the governing committee OF
the Stock Exchange to ascertain the
identity of short sellers, brokers and
their customers who had short accounts
outstanding made frantic efforts 10
cover their contracts at the opening Of
the market yesterday. Prices as re-
suit rose in spectacular manner. IN
some cases climbing quite as rapidly
as they fell during Thursdays decline.
A Wild Opening
United States Steel common, which
unsettled the whole market the d9y
before by dropping Tx points to 1914,
was again the outstanding feature.
For many minutes before the opening
OF the market an excited crow' CT
brokers surrounded the Steel pest al 6
when the gong sounded there WAS
general scramble TO execute buying
orders.
The opening transaction officially
recorded on the tape consisted or
numerous orders punched into block
of 10000 shares at 81 to 9s1s This
compared with closing of 931s o.
Thursday and represented an ovci-
night advance of Az to 4's POINTS;
Within fifteen minutes the price haa
fallen to 95h. after which the market
began to quiet down: Steel closed al
96h, a net gain of 2as points.
Sharp advances were recorded at the
opening in other representative issues,
~ -. ,,,Ac
Chesapeake e. Ohio 4. Bethlehem Steel
"B" AZ and Norfolk e. Western 4. The
majority of stocks closed with sub
stantial net gains. although the initial
advances were not entirely held.
Names Turned In
Members Of the governing board as
serted that the Stock Exchange now
has in its hands most effective in
strument for curbing short selling Of
a vicious character. 1t will take. few
days, however, before the machinery
of the new trading rules is operating
smoothly. The names Of all borrowers
and lenders Of stocks were turned in
yesterday by Stock Exchange houses
in compliance with the request OF the
governors, but it is understood that
they were not examined by the bust
ness conduct committee, which has su-
pervision over the trading.
1t is expected that the names of in
dividuals engaged in short selling OF
stocks will be kept in confidence by
the business conduct committee unless
a situation arises where it will be 70
the advantage of the exchange to make
them public. Such an occasion would
arise If it should develop that delib-
crate attempt had been made TO de-
press prices.
Short Selling Not Abolished
The Stock Exchange suthosities. it
was learned, are prepared to deal drss-
tically with any members seeking
through some subtcrfuge or other to
cover up the identity Of interests en-
gagged i'll ilegitimate short selling.
Any member found to be involved in
such a subterfuge is likely to be ex-
PEELED from the Exchange.
Short selling. members Of the OK
change said had not, however. been en-
tirely abolished as result of the
action Of the governors.
The Consolidated Stock Exchange
announced yesterday that committee
is - be appointed, charged with the
duty of watching orders as they are
executed. Any sales that may attract
the committees attention will be in
vestigated.
