 Arriving here early in the forenoon | the candidate spent virtually the whol. day in an automobile tour of the sectiol 1 about Chattanooga made historic by tn Civil war battles.

Washington. Oct. 13.-(By The A. P.) The federal reserve board is preparing to make a new statement of policy cover ing all phases of the credit situation, Governor Harding told representatives of the agricultural interests, in conven- tion, here, who appealed to him today for relief from "s:ringent' credit conditions The statement, Governor Harding said. probably would be made public Satur- day after the conclusion of the fall con- ference of federal reserve agents and re- serve bank governors here.
 A committee from the reserve board listened for three hours to accounts of conditions which the agricultural delega- tion said threatened the life of the na- ton through a reduction of food produc- ton. Difficulties of the farmers were laid almost wholly to inability to obtain financial assistance Ii was asserted that banks of the reserve system were not supplying needed funds and that under instructions from the federal re- serve board.
 Governor Harding denied that the board had issued instructions which would result in curtailing farmers cred | it. The board and officials of the reserve i banks were in sympathy with the plight ! of the farmers. he said, and were en- | couraging loans 10 aid them. but the board was without authority 10 instruct | member banks as to loans they could ol Lcould not make.
 "In the first place" the governor said
 T can see no practical value in you visit to the board. Our acts are defined by law Your conference here with u has resulted only in your reteliing wha we already knew. The board knows you
 trials and your difficulties and is in en
 tire sympathy with Xou.'
 Meanwhile the delegates consideret ! whether they should press their reques
 for a conference with President Kiisoi
 and his cabinet Some had thought 1 would be unnecessary to take thei
 grievances before the cabinet after tn
 conference with the reserv board. it wa said also that most cabinet member , were out of the city and that as th delegates expected to confer with Secre
 tary Houston ana Secretary Meredith to
 morrow a cabinet conference might nc
 be insisted upon.
 . Governor Harding told the delegatio that German interests had informe
 him they were in the market for 2.000
 900 bales of American cotton. A Gel
