BANKING COUNCIL SETS
OUT FINANCIAL REFORM

The United States Council Of State
H. mixing Associations through its WASH
iI.gton Office has sent TO all banks op-
Grating under state charters bulletin
setting forth proposed legislation Affect
ing those banks. which is now under
consideration by the Federal Reserve
Board.
The proposed legislation Is divided
under three heads.
TO admit to membership in the fed
eral reserve eysteins mutual savings
hanks (Which have no capital stock)
and stoek savings banks with ihsaffi-
oent capital stock TO entitle them to
become members under the existing law,
provided the surplus OF mutual savings
banks and the combined capital and
surplus of such stock savings banks is
equal to the capital stock required of
na tionai banks in the places where such
savings banks are located
Authorizing the board by regulation
to prescribe the conditions Under which
time deposits may be classsd as savings
deposits and providing that two-thirds
of the per cent reserve against saw
ings deposits may consist of United
states bonds issued since April "a, 1917,
or United States certificates of indebt-
edness deposited with the federal re-
serve bank.
Authorizing savings banks which con-
vert into national banks to maintain
separate savings departments and au-
tl.or1ZlnE national banks TO eStaDHsR
separate savings departments to be hp-
Grated in substantial conformity with
state laws.
While two of these proposals relate
especially TO the membership of savings
banks in the federal reserve system.
the outstanding feature is the third
proposal. which In effect creates a de-
partmental bank under national char
ter-national banks being now author.
ised to conduct both a commercial and
a trust business under certain condi-
tions.

March April shipment at sac and April
May at possibly Sa4c T. o. b. According
to private cable advtc-s from Cuba, there
are 20 centrals grinding against II a year
ago Receipts at Cuban ports for the
week were 3,042 tons. against 3,166 tons
a week ago and a year ago, ind
eating that a very early start has been
made this year.
Coffee Futures.-The market yesterday
was reactionary, and after opening un-
changed to an advance of points on
demand from brokers, who were believed
10 be buying for importers or cotton trade
interests, prices worked downward, due
to a special cable reporting Santos futures
100 to $50 reis lower. and later in the
say still another cable ,eporung 1urtner
declines of 500 to 500 reis. The decline
was checked after March had touched
1882 and May 1890, or % to % points
below initial figures. Sentiment was infu-
enccd to some extent by the continued de-
cline in sterling exchange and the hig her

values did better on covering movement

steadier Rio cost and freight market
and reports of an advance in Bra lian

just before the close, final prices being
points net higher to a net decline of 3
points.
The range OF prices follows:

though the staple shades are moving
with greater rapiJity than usual.
Some jobbels are making up sets"
of silk goods and offering them to re-
tailers especially for tho Christmas
trade. The sets include number of
weaves and wide range of colors. A
special price is put on each set as an
lnducement for taking all the goods
IN 1T. In this way the jobbers are dis
posing of some of their slow-movinr
stocks and cutting down their own
holdings in anticipation of annual in
ventories.

Observation-Disclosures,
Goes to Record Price

The price of platinum has reached
the highest point ever known. Local
dealers yesterday quoted $155 to St6O
an ounce for the soft metal, S165 for
mat containing S per cent iridium and
Sl'o for that containing 10 per cent
IRIDIUM. Some of the smaller dealers
are asking. $l85 an ounce for small
amounts OF the metal. and are having
i'to'e dl'hculty IN getting their price.
oh december l, 1910, large quantities
or sctt platinum could be purchased for
S32 70 a troy ounce. One year later
dealers offered the metal for SABLE.
Inc pr ce continued to advance until
1T reached $47.13, in 1915. When the
government stepped into the market
IN l9l6 and purchased all available sup
pies Tor war purposes the price jumped
to S83 40. From that point IT advanced
to Sl02.o2 in 1917, $105 95 in 1918, and
finally the record-breaklng figure of
Slf5 an ounce now prevailing.
The cutting off of the Russian sup
ply, the principal source of the metal;
the imperative need of platinum for
dehtai purposes and the stringent meas
ures taken by the various governments
to restrain it's expectation and it's use
are mainly responsible for the present
serious shortage, which has caused an
active search to be made for substi.
tutes which might prove more or less
satisfactory To this end alloys of gold
and pal adlum, 60 d aid osmium or
gold and nickel have been used with
fairly good results in many cases.
OF the 100000 or more ounces of
platinum in existence at the end of
1918 1T was estimated very conserva-
lively that catalyzing processes claimed
500 600 ounces, dental uses 100000
ounces, chemical apparatus 000, 900
ounces, electrical dev ces 500O 900 ounces
and jewelry 100000 ounces. Later es-
Inmates, however, show that the use of
platinum in the jewelrv trade has in
creased greatly since that time, and the
total amount made into jewelry in 1919
will be nearer the 1,0)0,0 0,0O0-ounce m rk
than the 1918 estimate of 100000

British Change Method Of
Selling Leather Belsing

In order to compete successfully on
the continent in leather betting, the
Federation of Leather Betting Manu-
facturers Of the United Kingdom have
decided to revise their methods of
quoting prices. Hitherto it has been
the custom to sell chiefly by weight,
and when sold by measurement the
betting was usually offered without
giving any specific thickness. AS the
custom in most countries on the
continent is to ask for quotations by
measurement and thickness, the Brit
ish methods have been revised in
order to satisfy foreign buyers. Quo
tations are now beinr made on the
basis of inches or millimeters for
width, and millimeters only for thick
ness.
