CHARGE FIXING
Of MONEY Rates

Washington. Oct. 1S.-United
ess.)-Charges that a small
coterie of Wall street bankers fix
money rates so that value OF Lib
erty bonds has declined and legiti-
mate business has been stifled, will
be gone into by farmers demanding
loans to finance their crops, their
representatives said today.
The charges were made by John
Shelton Williams, comptroller of
the currency, who said that the
small group fixes the rate for de-
mand money shortly before the
stock exchange opens each day and
the rate thus fixed is posted as the
rate for that day. This, he said,
tends to defeat the purpose of the
federal reserve act, which looks to
an orderly distribution of money.
Farmers believe that Williams
statement may explain why they
are unable to get more money for
legitimate crop financing. despite
the assertion Of the federal reserve
board that it is doing everything
possible to aid the farmers.
Williams charges follow a state.
ment by the board in which it in
dicated that its policy of shutting
OF money for speculation would bt
continued. This statement also
said that loans for farmers had in.
creased.
Williams charges tend to thu
conclusion that the setting of higl
money rates is shutting legitimat,
industry out of the money marke
| and favoring spectators who viii
pay the high rates.
