URGES LOW RATESFOR
LOANS TO BOND BUYERS
BY I. A. FLEMING.

Gov. Seay of the nth regional re-
serve bank wired every federal re-
serve bank in this district. urging
that they make loans to bond buyers
on liberty loan bonds as collateral at
the same rate as the bonds bear.
He assured them that the federal
reserve bank would loan at the bonds
for the first ninety days at per cent
and advanced this as a reason why
member banks should make the ad-
vances at Az per cent. He added to
his wire: Something more is needed
to put the loan over. Let us all pull
together for our country and crush
the kaiser"
Banks of Washington are doing
their utmost to mako the great loan,
the largest undertaken in this coun-
try, great success but they are
handicapped in their work by the ILL
ness of very many of their employees,
and in some cases have been unable
as yet to make their returns.
With the shortage of help, with
many inexperienced clerks and so
many abseptees, the full returns will
of necessity be late in compilation.
The Riggs National Bank has COW
cred it's quota, with a handsome sur
plus assured. Some other banks have
about reached their allotment, and
practically all will. go over the line,
with very few exceptions.

STOCK MARKET NERVOUS
SOME STRONG SPOTS

NEW YORK, October 15.-While the
stock market presented fairly firm
appearance at the opening, there were
evidences of severe temptation on the
part of many traders to cash in on their
fat profits made during the last few
days advance.
Some of the gossips of the brokers'
offices admitted that there would be
natural trend in that direction, yet
while there was a reaction following
the firm opening, the bulls did not per-
nit it to go very far before their or
ders checked the tendency toward
lower figures.
Some of the stocks that did not show
well in the action yesterday developed
a little firrner feeling, this being evil
denced by Is betterment in Industrial
Alcohol, point in General Motors, y
on Baldwin Locomotive, X on Smell

practically nothing in the way of
equipment or medical supplies, cared
for thousands Of wounded French

Then "Madame's" health gave out,
