The Federal Farm Loan Board found
il possible to fix the interest rate az )
per cent throughout the whole United
States, because of the healthy demand
for farm loan bonds, and the large vol
ume Of business assured in advance.
making it possible for the banks to OPP
crate OH small percentage OF proilt.
Under the Federal farm loan system
twelve Federal land banks have been
created and provided by the government
and by private investors with s75O,OOO
initial capital each. These banks lend
money TO farmers on mortgages, run
ming from five to forty years, TO suit
the borrower, to be repaid in small ar
nual instruments throughout the period
Of the loan. After one of these Fed.
eral land banks has taken $4,000 or
more OF farm mortgages it pools these
mortgages and issues bonds against
them, selling these bonds TO produce
additional money TO lend TO farmers.
As fast as farm mortgages are taken
new issues of bonds are made, and just
as long as there is a market for farm
loan bonds at the present rate there
will be money available TO the farmer
at > per cent.

Low Rate on
Farm Loans to
Save Millions
Big Demand for Bonds Is
sued by Federal Land
Banks Expected

Washington, March 23.-An annual
saving of millions Of dollars to the
farmers OF New York, Pennsylvania
New Jersey and the New England
states is expected to result from the
action of the Federal Reserve Board
in fixing a fat rate Of per cent on
farm loans. This is l per cent oelo"
the maximum provided under the farm
loan act and u to l per cent under the
ruling rates for farm loans in the
United States.
In New York, for instance, the totaI
volume of farm loans is Sl6S,23 4,ooo ana
the average interest rate is 90 per cent,
The establishment of the Federal land
hanks will mean a possible reduction
of this rate by six-tenths OF per cent
which would mean an annual saving IN
interest charges to the farmers OF New
York Of over 100000. This is based
upon the present volume Of farm loans
and does not take into account the
greatly increased volume which Will un-
doubtedly follow the reduced interest
rate.
The total farm loan Indebtedness oil
Pennsylvania is s1O9,3l2,OO0, and the
average interest rate is So per cent.
The establishment Of these Federal
farm loan agencies will mean, there
fore. a possible reduction of eight
tenths of per cent in Pennsylvania
eliminating an annual charge Of APP
proximately s1,OOO,OOO against the
farmers of that state.
New Jersey has a total farm loan in
debtedness of 35.61o,000, and the av-
erage interest rate is 5.8 per cent
The farm mortgage Indebtedness oil
the Northeastern states, with the av-
erage interest rate in each state, Is

Foreign Freight Solicitation Case
Heard. Washington, March 23.-Prac-
tees of American railroads in solicit
ing freight from abroad for transporta-
ton in this country were debated to-
day before the Supreme Court in a
Federal suit against the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, the outcome of which will
affect other roads.
The government seeks to prohibit
payments by the railroad TO New
York freight forwarding company.
based upon tonnage from abroad
routed over its lines. That such pay
ments are, in effect, illegal rebates is
contended by the government and
denied by the railroad. the latter in
sisting that the freight forwarding
company is virtually foreign freight
soliciting agency. New York Federal
courts enjoined the railroad from con-
tinuing the practice.

Loan to Russia Denied
BY Kuhn, Loeb & Co.

Wall Street heard yesterday that
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. had under considera-
ton the granting of a large loan to
the new Russian government The re-
port was not confirmed.
Inasmuch as these bankers have
steadfastly refused since the war began
to participate in any OF the foreign
loans made in this country by belliger-
ent nations because OF conscientious
scruplcs, the report aroused much in
tcrest in banking circles.
The only foreign financing which
Kuhn, Loeb e. Co. have arranged since
the war began involved loan Of $780,
000,0 to the City Of Paris and $780,
000,0 TO the French cities Of Lyons,
Bordeaux and Marseilles.

Chase National May
Organize Trust Co.

The Chase National Bank, according
to advices from Washington. has made
application to the Controller OF the
Currency for permission TO organize a
security company, which probably will
be known as the Chase Security Com
pany. Officials of the bank yesterday
refused 10 give out details in regard to
the proposed organization.
1t was admitted, however, that the
management was considering the form
alton Of a company that would be per-
mitted 70 hold investments which ma
tional banks cannot hold under the ma
tional banking law. A few years ago
the First National Bank and the Ma
tional City Bank formed two such or

London Expects More Treasury Bills.
London, March 23.-Money was easy
to-day, owing to government disburse-
ments. Discount rates were weak.
It is considered practically certain
that within a day or two the govern
ment will recommence issuing Treas
ury bills. but there is some uncertainty
as to whether it will be by tender or
a daily issue at a fixed rate Of inter
est.
The stock market was generally
quiet, except rubber shares, which were
strong and dearer under a broadening
demand Consols and other gilt-edged
securities were affected by the coming
competition of the new war loan. The
activity in gold mines slackened, but
home rails and shipping stocks had
good tone and Rio Tintos were hrm
on the dividend of 80 shillings Tor the
wear. American securities were unde-
cded and featureless.
Money was quoted at 3S4 per cent;
discount rates, short and three months
