December declined only cents,
while the March was off to 5A
cents, the difference widening about
3 cents. Strength in the December
option relative to the deferred
month was due to increasing anX-
iety of shorts over the small ac-
emulation of stocks. The walkout
OF the British coal miners furnished
the excuse for free selling early by
locals and commission houses.

BANKERS AID
BOOK ISSUED
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
Gets Out Authoritative and
Comprehensive Volume.
FIFTH DISTRICT HONORED
All Banks and Trust Companies on
Mailing List-Prolems
Fully Discussed.

For the benefit of bankers, busi-
ness men and the public generally
the Federal Reserve bank, of Rich
mond, has issued an authoritative
and comprehensive little book on
the organization and operation of
the Federal Reserve system. 1t
answers many practical questions
regarding the new banking law and
meets a number of objections raised
by persons not fully cognizant OF
the benefits and merits of the
system.
Such matters as mobiliZed credit,
reserve accounts, elastic currency,
rediscounts, par collections and the
immediate credit symbol are clearly
and sUccinctIy explained. The book
further shows in on-technical
language the benefits which have
accrued to the banking and busi-
, ness interests of the country as a
result of the establishment of the
Federal Reserve system. Among
these are listed-increased financial
security, more generous credit ac-
commodations, elasticity of cur
rency from rediscounts, an easier
. system of the transfer of funds,
NpobiIization of reserves when and
where needed, and economy of time
and money in check collection.
The book, entitled Questions and
Answers on the Federal Reserve
System" has been mailed to all the
banks and trust companies in the
Fifth Federal Reserve district.
First it takes up the general plan
of the organization of the Federal
Reserve system, showing next how
banking institutions may attain
membership. The functions of the
F'edstal Reserve banks are then de-
Scrfced, this chapter going into the
questions of mobilization of re-
serves, the elasticity Of currency re-
discounts and eligible paper, and
being followed by a discussion of
the reserves of member banks, COL
lections, transfers and currency
shipments, State bank and trust
company membership and incidental
legal provisions.
Member banks will find. the book
Of interest since it is designed to
make clearer many points regard
ing the operation OF the Federal Re
serve act; to nopmember banks it
will be of value as explaining the
manifold advantages and privileges
of membership; to the business man
generally it will prove worth while
inasmuch as it shows how the Fed
eral Reserve bank in each of the
twelve districts safeguards and
strengthens the financial, industrial
and commercial enterprises OF the
nation.
The book is we'll printed on good
paper; it is neatly bound in cloth,
has a complete table of contents
