attack of kidney trouble. 1t was all started by a cold
settling on my kidneys. as this was a weak spot owing to
the constant Earring an engineer gets. The pain was SO
severe in the small of my back, I could hardly get around
and it was hard for me to get on and of my engine. Morn
ings when I got up, my back would be so stin and lame
I would only be able to get out Of my bed by crawling

j used four boxes. They cured me and I haven't had any

Twenty per cent money is nothing to
them. when they make a turn of 10 to
90 points in stock in n single day.
Looking little deeper. however. into
the action of the Federal Reserve Board,
there is to be found much significance.
1t is an earnest effort of the govern
mcnt officials not only to curtail spec
ulation in securities. but in real es-
tate. commodities and. in fact. in most
everything into which the fever of in
flation has left it's imprints.
In the Federal Reserve Bulletin for
November the board discusses banking
conditions at length. and declares that
the necessity for increasing the redis-
count rate is shown by the constant
increases of re- discounting by the Fed
eral Reserve banks and about TT5 mem
Der banks. This has resulted, the
Bulletin says, in the reduction of the
reserve percentage to 40 per cent. on
October 81, the lowest point ever
reached.
"The disappearance of the treasury
from the long term loan market and
the rapid reduction in its requirements
for short term accommodations" the
Bulletin continues, 'foreshadows the
approach of the time when the financial
operations of the government will cease
to be the important factor in shaping
Reserve bank policies and rates. A re.
view of all the conditions in the banking
situation has confirmed the board in the
view tina, in the application of its dis
count policy an advance of rates should
no longer be deferred"
There has been decrease in "warr
paper since June 30. the Bulletin con-
tinues; there also has been n continued
expansion Of loans and Investments of
member banks. On June 81. the Bule-
tin says, loans and investments of Fed
cral Reserve banks were s.. .354. 1G7, 900
and of 10 member banks S14 $50. .107, =
600, while on October "a the figures
were S2.751 ,751 900 for Federal Re
serve banks and S15, ,537. 1O4 900 for
member banks. The Bulletin contin,
ucs!
The real character of the situation
depends upon the use that is being made
by member banks of the credit facilities
to be obtained at Federal Reserve banks.
1t is just here that the percent situ-
alton must be regarded as unsatisfac-
tory. The evidence which is currently
available seems to point to the fact that
member banks, under the influence of
strong private demand, are in not a
few cases greatly expanding their loans.
The reports which come to the board
from the Federal Reserve districts

in the summary of business conditions
for the current month. strongly sug

borne in mind that the growth of nc e

FIRST STEP TAKEN TOWARD

Higher Discount Rate Prevent Use OF Lodnabe Funds for
Speculaion-Diarket Effect Not Clear

Today being election day. n legal hol-
iday, all the principal stock exchanges
and commodity markets with the ex-
ception of the Chicago Board of Trade
were closed. In the market world the
holiday was generally welcomed The
tremendous volume of trading on the
stock exchange during the last month
virtually overwhelmed the important
commission houses and the clerical forces
have been compelled to labor night and
day to catch up with their work The
suspension of business today. therefore,
will permit an opportunity of tighten
ing the load.
While the market community was
given rest from the exciting game
of chasing quotations, the overnight
action of the Federal Reserve Board
III raising the discount rates furnished
much food for thought. This is the
first step toward bringing about Il re-
duction of banking credit created dur
ing the emergency period of war finance.
The market effect is somewhat prob
lematical. In the Interpretation Of some
BANKERS it is n radical move toward
putting an effective check upon the ram
pant speculation prevailing throughout
the length md breadth of the land.
In the opinion of other bankers it is
simply logical adjustment of the re
discount rates to bring these rates in
Il more rational alignment with the call
and time loan rates. Against a dis
count rate ranging from 4 to , per cent
according to the character of the paper
offered, call money has ranged any
where from q to 90 per cent, with the
recent average around per cent. 1t
is hardly probable that an advance of
half or | per cent in the maximum
change in the discount rate will have

the policy of curtailing stock market
