Loans Of Banks Increase More Than
Billion Dollars After Discount
Rate Advances.

Western New spaper Union News Service
Washlngton.-The Government can
not be a party to any undertaking
for artlficially maintaining war
prices" by enabling owners to with
hold their commodities from the mar
kets, Secretary David +. Houston said
In formal statement on the CONNER
cial credit situation. On the other
hand, the Secretary declared in favor
of the orderly marketing of all com
moditles, and estimated that the com
mercial loans of alfbanks during the
past year increased by about $1,000
100000 to meet the demands of in
dustry and agriculture.
II am In favor of every legitimate
effort to promote the orderly market
ing of all commodities" said Secre-
tary Houston, but the Government
can not be a party to an undertaking
to hold commodities off the market
to enable the owners artificially, for
speculative purposes, to maintain war
prices or higher than war prices. AS
a matter of fact, the banks of the
country during the last II months
have been extending large credits to
meet the demands from industry and
agriculture
"Since August, 1919, the loans and
investments of about 800 reporting
member banks Increased over two and
one-half billions of dollars AS these
reporting banks represent about 40 per
cent Of the resources of all the banks,
ii is estimated that the total increase
in loans and investments since August,
1919, has been more than $5,5O0.OOO.-
900. Even from January %, 1920 when
the increase in discount rates went in
to effect, to August q, 1920. the loans
of about 800 reporting member banks,
exclusive of loans secured by Govern
ment obligations and other stocks and
bonds. increased about one and quar-
ter billions Of dollars. This would re-
fleet total increase of commercial
loans in all banks, IL Is estimated, of
perhaps three billions of dollars. Since
the crop-moving demands began the
bills, discounted, and purchased by the
Federal Reserve banks increased at
the rate of about $5O,0OO,OO0 a week
and. the Federal Reserve notes at the
rate of $3O,OO0OO0 to S40,OO0,OOO a
