Big Increase in Rediscounts.

The weekly statement of the New York
Federal Reserve Bank discloses the fact
that New York banks, in order to main
tain their reserve position, awaited them
selves of the rediscount privilege to the
extent of more than s43.00O,000 during
the past week. Despite these borrowings
there was a loss in cash to the reserve
bank by member banks of more than
$15.OO0,000. The reserve bank increased
its holdings of bills based on CONNER
cial paper by S17.16S.594 and of bills
based on United States obligations by
S26,l2S.S01, making the net increase in
discounts and advances s43. 295.395. There
was decrease of $3.6l5.736 in accept
ance purchases by the reserve bank.
The total of bills discounted and bought
is again well In excess OF 100000. 600,
the actual figure being $o25.56O.s9O

Element fund and despite small ex-

Few Margin Holdings.

Expert market reviewers are still
reserved in their comment on securities,
though margined holdings are at the
lowest in years. as the letters which left
the Wall Street district yesterday indi-
cate. I'VE said last week that. because
of money scarcity. decreasing net earn
ings and increasing Governmental re-
.trictions," SAYS Goodbody & Co, there
IL not much room for bull market.
Since then the Federal Reserve Board
has called upon all banks and trust COM
panies to gradually reduce their loans to
non-productive and non-distributive in
dustries Undoubtedly, this means that
the banks should not encourage specu!a-
ton in Wall Street that would lead to
increased loans. As matter Of fact.
we think the average speculAtor in
stocks has found It so hard to make
profits that he has. for some time. been
reducing his commitments. They are
now at a low ebb. A considerable por-
ton Of the relatively few stocks now
carried on margin in Wall Street consists

Surplus Reserve Lower.

surplus reserve of S14,392,S10. bringing
that item down to sIO.S39.3S0. This
falling off was shown despite the re-
deposit of sl22.614.000 funds by the
United States Government, Fridays re-
deposit being s42.561,O Against these
deposits no reserve is required. There
was a moderate decrease In other de-

member banks lost $l5.+33,000 cash to
the Federal Reserve Bank. Other cash
hol rngs showed net increase of w.

BeIIigerent Exchange Rates

The sharp rise In the exeha nges OF the
belligerent countries. especially OF Eng
land and France, this week was due in
no small part to the scurrying OF foreign
exchange dealers on unconfrmed reports
OF negotiations between Great Britain
and this country to peg the exchange
rates at a higher figure. In addition the
Improvement in franc and sterling en-
change was helped by the continued al
lied victories and the purchasing power
of the million-odd American troops IN
France. The Americans are spending
money very freely over there, and as
their number increases this will tend to
further strengthen French exchange.
Another consideration Is that because or
the large English and French credits In
the United States purchases Of franc and
sterling exchange on New York exceeds
the demand in New York.

 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. coRRErr.

body to a standing position without any aid from the hands.
 Stand erect with feet from to 12 inches apart and then try to touch the floor with the tips of your fingers. In doing so do not bend the knees. If you cannot quite touch the foot go as near to it as possible. When / going through this bending exercise, which you are to repeat three times, be sure to stiffen the muscles which gives you the needed resistance of muscle against muscle.
 Take the erect position again and with left hand try to touch the floor on your left side. This will require the lifting up of your right leg as you are moving toward the floor with your left hand. But do not bend left leg forward. Re- peat this three times and then reverse
 by touching the floor with the right hand three times.
 Do not sit down while putting on your
 hose. Lay flat on your back on the bed. Lift up both legs and put the hose on while in that position. Keep legs as
 high up as possible, but within reach ing distance of the hands. This mode
 of putting on your hose exercises the
 stomach, arm, leg and chest muscles
 and is very helpful for the spine. Do not bend your back when putting on your shoes. Kneel on the left knee on the floor while putting on the right shoe and on the right knee when you are putting on the left shoe.
 After you have completed the rest of your dressing which should be done in l the ordinary way, stand erect, hands al sides, draw back the head, put out the chest, stiffen every muscle in your body and take three more long deep breaths. l Do these little exercises for about a | week and the results will startle you 1 so much that you will do them through l out the rest of your lifetime.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-11-15

This is an article which deals with some very simple stretching and breath ing exercises which can be performed upon arising in the morning-and with fine benefit to the health.
 Do not jump right out of bed upon awakening in the morning. As you open your eyes, lay inert for few seconds. Then straighten out the legs-flat on the bed-so they will be on line with the head. Stretch legs as far as you can, and at the same time stretch your arms to the utmost toward the sides of the l bed. Continue this stretching of arms and legs for few seconds. Now re- lax and put arms at sides of body. Now stretch arms down toward knees, fin gers outstretched, stretching legs at the same time. Under no circumstances should head. upper part of body or legs be raised from the bed
 Take long, deep breath-to the limit l of your lungs Inhale through the nose Hold breath about five seconds and then exhale-zwith force-through the mouth. Repeat this breathing three times, keep ing muscles rigid. Remember that the
 real value of exercising comes only through tiie leISlllS oI tHe HHuSCics-
 After completing breathing exercises lay relaxed for a few seconds and then stiffen legs and body again. Throw off the covers and start getting out of bed but in doing so do not bend the spine.
 Merely wheel the body around in bed,
 keeping it on line perpendicular with
 | that position which you occupied be-
 fore. When legs extend out over side of
 | bed, bend the Knees and let the body l following the direction of your legs. When your toesA toucf~the floor lift your
