Reserve Board
Sees Decline
In Speculation
interest Rates Rising and
Banks Exercising Great
er Degree of Discrim-
nation, Report States
Prices Are Still Going Up
Bank Deposits Falling OF;
Farm Labor Scarcity Seen
as Menace in Southwest

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-Early end
;rr OF the general expansion which has
characterized war and immediate post
,,s- neriSds was forecast in a state
wont summarizing February business
.onditions. issued tonight by the Fed
oral Reserve Board. The upward move
rent of prices. so far as the board
.or,d ascertain, generally had not met
with any check.
Financial and banking authorities
sxervwhere were asserted to be looking
more seriously at the general situation
IN credit and beginning to urge the
sdention of conservative policies.
While the review stated that this
avid not be accepted as meaning that
~ "orgv of speculation" had been ab-
solutely checked, there was saia to be
tha indisputable evidence that banks
we're exercising a greater degree of
discrimination and judgment IN CON-
nlviuc with the demands of their Gus
toners.
Credit Overstrained
@Throuchout practically all IF the
reno-ts Of the Federal Reserve agents"
The statement sad. "there runs plainly
6 recognition OF the existence of an
overstra.red condition of credit AMI of
some continued tendency toward spsc-
ulative operations.
aHirh living costs and the upward!
movement of prices have apparently not
been checked although there is de-
crease in prices in certain lines and a
tendency toward restricted trade in
others. Interest rates are rising in
most stricts, while banks are exerci 5
ing a rreater DEGREE of discrimination
and iudement IN ms etlng the demands
Of their customers"
The increase in interest rates has
had the effect OF lowering security quo
tations. the board found, as even the
best investment securities have suffered
in this respect 1t also has had the
effect Ct forcing shrinkage or con-
traction in the volume OF trading in all
classes CO securities, the magnitude Of
which was regarded as alarming by the
board several months ago. In some
Federal Reserve districts there were
Indications Of \ reduction in the vol
ume o. speculation in commodities
THE fleets OF the increase in dis
count rates, the statement continued
"made themselves evident in more
conservative attitude on the part OF
member banks with respect to INDUS
trial expansion and in the cutting OF
commitments on speculative account,
Reduction Here Offset
contraction of bank credit was not
however, exactly general throughout
the country but the reduction reported
in the New York district was partially
offset by an increase elsewhere.
a decline in bank deposits both in
the financial centers and elsewhere has
occurred, part being due to the with
drawa of government funds. Very
great difficulty in placing both COM
mercial and conservative investment
securities in satisfactory quantities is
reported by dealers"
General prospects at the close of
February were for an active and pros
porous spring season in all lines, the
statement said. Agricultural prospects
were said to be "reassuring" and the
New-York tribune., 1920-03-01

curtailment in exports, due to the ex-
change situation, while undoubtedly
beginning to make itself felt, were be-
licved by many of the banking au-
thorities soon to be Of benefit to tho
consumer here rather than injurious.
1t was pointed out also that there
was tendency to resist the advance
in prices and that greater care was be-
ing exercised in purchasing, all of
which were regarded az favorable
symptoms"
General manufacturing was report
ed very active all over the country.
Good Shoes in Demand
Wholesale trade conditions were said
to be prosperous almost throughout
the country. In reporting individual
lines, the statement remarked that the
demand for good grades of shoes, re-
gardiess of price, seems to continue,
and shoe price lists for the new sea
son are higher than ever.
Some improvement was noted in gen
erai labor conditions. There was an
"unfavorable aspect" however, a ten
toward a restriction of output. Even
in those cases, it was shown, the opin-
ion was occasionally expressed that the
effect of the restrictive policy is be-
ginning to be understood by those
practicing it as injuring them as much
as any other class.
The most serious situation iii the
labor field is that of farm workers. A
genuine scarcity is noted, which, the
board feared, might result in reduc-
ton in farm acreage. This was said
to be particularly true of the South
west, and some apprehension was felt
as to the solution Of the problem in
that region with the spring season on
in many communities.

An Appreciation of Mozart

To the Editor of The Tribune,
Sir: Is there an andante in music
the equal to that of Mozart's in the
Jupiter Symphony" excepting pessi-
bly, another of his own. that of the q
minor work? OF course, one must
not overlook the andante in Beetho-
ven's c minor, or those of Schubert't
Unfinished" and Ninth symphonies,
An ldyllic expression is present in both
OF the movements referred to, but
aside from, the Beethoven number the
effect produced on listener by per-
formance of Schubert's work is one of
sadness. This feature of the move
ment does not detract from it any Of
its great beauty, for we have Schubert's 5
own words that his musical produc-
tions, are the offspring Of my under
standing and sorrow"
Our feeling is that perhaps what
Schubert intended to express was that
Of patience in his sorrow, so to those
site feeling, that of the joy of life, the
andante Of Mozart's work must have
the preference. Mozart had as much
cause to feel poignant sorrow in the
latter years of his life as did Schubert,
but when he had something to say from
which the element Of sorrow must be
eliminated this element did not appear.
Like breath Of old ocean on a sum
mer day is the tonic effect Of the
poetry of the song of the andante in
question, an effect unequaled by any
other for its sparkle and perfection,
tor its marvellous beauty and purity
of theme, combined with such clarity
of speech and perfection of form. The
embroidery of the counterpoint is daz-
zling and it's colors will never fade.
Gounod, in few words, has EXPRESSED
truly and beautifully his appreciation
of the almost superhuman powers Of
Mozart: 80. Mozart, divine Mozart!
nn{ How .daa little DO. do they know thee who h %
perfect beauty, inexhaustible charm,
profound vet ever limpid; who has
felt everything and expressed every.
thing in musical language that has
never been and never will be sur
passed" H. B. JEWETT.
