 Banking and Credit.
 During the week various app1ica- tions on the part of producing inter eStS which desired to obtain further extensions of credit for the purpose of holding or carrying their output have been filed with the Federal Re serve Board, the latest being that of live stock producers. In every case such applications have been met with the statement that the policies all ready established. cannot be altered and that the general regulation of credit supply must proceed along lines already marked out. This atti- tude has naturally produced some feeling of criticism among the inter- ests affected, but has on the whole been approved by financial authori- ties who regard the present policy as practically necessary for the restora- ton of sound conditions. A confer ence between the Federal Advisory Council and the Federal Reserve Board early in the present week was partly employed in discussing this question of banking credit and, it is proval on the part of the council with respect to what is being done by the board. The attitude of the Treasury Department is reported to be very similar to that of the Federal Reserve Board. This is the more interesting because of the efforts of some po- litical leaders to draw the question of credit extension into the political campaign and to make it appear that the outcome at the polls one way or the other would probably bring about a more ''liberaP' attitude on the part of the banks. As things stand there is no apparent indica ton that any

interest and the talk of refinancing, involving a possible deal between the Lackawanna and Erie railroads, as well as the recapitalization of others, may broaden into more general movement involving more companies now that combinations are permitted
 under the Transportation act. The strong front presented by railroad shares in contrast to the weakness which has developed in the industrial
 list for practically every day this
 week, cannot fail to make an inn
 pression on those who give the
 market close study. The pros and cons
 are of course fairly well understood,
 but few people take into consideration
 that while the investment interest Of
 the general public in railroad shares
 is large. the reverse is the case with
 speculative holdings. consequently the
 floating supply is small, especially
 when compared with industrial stocks.
 During the last dozen years the capital
 issues of the latter companies have
 been constantly augmented, whereas
 railroad companies, except in very
 few instances, have made no in-
 creases. All things being equal, there
 fore, railway shares have the market
 advantage; but in addition to this
 technical situation the industrial out
 look in some dire ctionS is not bright,
 while the future of the railroads now seems assured. Still, with regard to
 the former, it should be borne in
 mind that the market for a great
 legislature which is just opened meas
 ures should be introduced to bring about changes in the portfolios of the banks and trust companies by forcing them to sell portions of their bond holdings and to substitute mortgages in place thereof. It is not believed that such legislation can be carried through, especially in view of the dis turbing effect it would have upon values and prices.

trips to the Nations Capital.
1t will be great news for them

these excursions to the Capital
City were prizes that were ca

the largest amount of corn or
potatoes to an acre, but, like
many other things, the war put
a stop to unnecessary railroad
travel, and Uncle Sam in Wash

on his hnads that he had no
time to entertain his farmer
friends. But now he is going
to resume his role in directing

Farmers do not Strike

What would become of the
rest of us if the farmers should
go on strike for an eight hour
day? We can easily under
stand who among the city's pop
ulation would be the first and
the loudest to protest against
the reduced production of food
stuffs and the resulting increas-
ed prices. If others have the
right of combination to fight
for reduced hours of labor and
reduced production, it cannot
consistently be denied that the
farmers have the same right of
combination and the same right
to strike. Carried to it's logi-
cal conclusion the policy will,
if extended to the producers of
food inevitably lead to enor-
nous increase in it's cost and to
vast profits to the farmers.
That they are growing restive
under the so-called gains, better
conditions, and higher wages
made by labor's organized et-
fort, is evidenced by the resolu
tion recently passed at farm
er's meeting in Franklin, Ver-
mango County, Pennsylvania,
in which they resolved "That
inasmuch as various labor or
ganizations are demanding an
eight hour day we, as members
of the Venango County Grange
representing twelve subordi-
nate oranges and a member
ship of 1900, do hereby go on
record as favoring an equal
day for farmers" And they
felt justified in taking that po-
sition Notwithstanding in
creased prices resulting from
lessened farm products"
