Boston Banks to
Regulate Demand
Deposit Rates
Movement to Check Conpeti-
ton for Balances Spread
ing Rapidly

The Boston Clearing House Asso-
citation, it was learned from bankers
here yesterday, is expected to announce
shortly regulations governing interest
rates on bank deposits similar to these
adopted recently by the New York
Clearing House Association. Other i'm
portant financial centres of the country
will cooperate in the general movement
begun in New York to prevent COM
petitve bidding for deposits in the
interest of the governments pro
grarime for fin, ing the war.
Walter E. Frew, chairman of The
Clearing House Committee, said yes
terday that a statement to the effect
that some out-of-town banks have
been trying to attract funds away from
New York by means of raising the in
terest rate above the maximum fixed
under the recent Clearing House rul-
ing was probably "more imaginary
than real" Mr.. Frew said that when
the anonymous bank officer to whom
was attributed the statement becomes
more familiar with the facts as to what
other cities are doing he Will probably
feel his statement was without founda-
tion.
The recent amendment to the con-
stitution passed by members of the
New York Clearing House Association
becomes effective next Monday. The
amendment designated only the maxi
mum rates members and non-members
are allowed to pay, and does not COM
pei them to pay that maximum, but
allows freedom of action, provided the
maximum rates are not exceeded.
The amendment compiled with the
suggestion of the Federal Reserve
Board that the interest rates should
be based on the discount rate of the

Wool Prices Higher

BOSTON. March 29.-"The CONNER
cial Bulletin" will say to-horrow:
"A keen demand continued during
the week for desirable wools which are
free of government restrictions in the
market and prices ruled very strong.
At the Colonial Wool Auctions prices
showed decided advances Of about Der
cent NIL around and the poorer combing
wools suitable for top making showed
relatively greater advances. Manu-
facturers are withdrawing lines very
generally from the civilian trade. Some
wool has been sold in Arizona Mt co
cents, which is within the government
limits Dealers are unwilling to cx-
coed the government limits on account
OF the uncerta1ties of the future"

TIRE SHORTAGE Is
NOT IMPROBABLE

Asked regarding government re-
strictions on the Importation OF rub
Der and the endeavor of tire manu-
facturers in cooperation with the
government to restrict the manufac-
ture of unnecessary tire sizes, J. G.
Weston, vice-president and director of
sales of the United States Tire Com
pany, said:
THE intention of the government in
the control and restriction of the i'm
portation of rubber is TO conserve
shipping space. and the program that
has been laid before the manufactur-
ers of rubber goods has won their
unanimous support for the war trade
board and the shipping board.
I'm addition, the manufacturers of
tires are heartily cooperating with
the government program for the even
tual elimination OF unnecessary tire
sizes. This elimination will simplify
the problem for each user of the
motor car of reducing his cost and
making it possible for him to secure
the tire size he needs, in good tires,
more readily than the market and
manufacturing conditions now permit
'Plans for the withdrawal of GER
tain tire sizes from use by manufac-
turers of motor cars will not in an
way interfere with the manufacture
and distribution of the tires TO users
who need those particular sizes at
any time"
Mr.. Weston was very insistent in
his statement that there is nothing in
the present or probable future situa-
ton to occasion the slightest appre-
hension of a shortage Of tires for
legitimate use.
However. there never was a time"
he said, when users of motor cars
could so well serve the nation as by
making the most of their cars in
legitimate commercial and passenger
service and refusing TO hoard or In
necessarily anticipate their needs in
tires or other motor car supplies"
Mr.. Weston called attention to the
fact that the government has not at
the present time imposed any re
strictions on the. use of motor cars by
the automobilists of the country. but
has relied on the patriotism of the
a owner to exercise a proper dis
erection in the use of their vehicles,
with a view to conserving their cars
and tires. Mr.. Weston is of the opin-
ion that the motorists of the country
can be trusted to cut down mere
pleasure riding to a minimum and to
take every possible step to ave tires.
