BANK SAYS CREDIT
TO CONTINUE TIGHT
Cannot Expect Much Reduc-
ton in Loans Of Institu-
tons at Present.
BORROWING TO INCREASE
Reserve Bulletin Also Asserts
Quiet REIMBURSEMENT Due
to Bankers Attitude.

Material reduction in the loans and
investments of the banks OF the country,
which have not decreased during the
last month, cannot be expected for the
present. according to the monthly bull
letin of the Federal Reserve Bank OF
New York, which points out how
period of declining prices requires, tenn
porarily at least, an expansion in credit.
In other words, no amelioration of tight
credit conditions can be anticipated for
the near future. Discussing credit ana
declining prices the banks review says
in part:
Just as credit and prices went UP
together, they should come down to-
gether too. During the last month there
has been no decrease in the loans and
investments of the banks of the country,
but material reductions should not be
expected at present. Credit require
| ments are nearly always at their peak
| in the autumn and. besides the normal
seasonal demands, period Of transition
to lower prices. like that which we are
now experiencing. Is one which requires
temporarily, at least, additional credit
ron the one hand increasing inven-
tories which result from slowly moving
stocks and. on the other, cancelled order;
and poor collections produce a demand
| Cor credit not unlike that of last spring,
when the railway and ocean freight
movements were temporarily congested.
| Such a period calls for a credit policy
on the part of the banks looking to con
servation Of sound business. Such add-
tional credits as are required are not for
further expansion but are for the pro-
| lection of industry They are to enable
business men to undertake in an orderly
manner the reduction of inventorieS and
the descent to lower price levels. ~
That the readjustment. which has
been quite radical in many industries.
! has proceeded quietly and confidently
| has been due in very large part to the
helpful and constructive attitude of the
bankers. who. in spite of the heavy with
! drawals of their deposits and an un-
| usual movement Of funds. have not
hesitated, IL necessary, 20 increase their
borrowings from the Federal Reserve
Bank to furnish such credits for pro-
duction and distribution as conditions
have required"
Since May 1 the Stock Clearing Cor
poration, put in operation by the New
York Stock Exchange late in April, has
reduced the face value of checks drawn
| by more than 81 .0C0. 900 900, this change
| accounting in large measure for lower
bank clearings in New York city. ac-
cording TO the reserve banks review.

TELEGRAMS.
ST. CROlX STATION.

London, November 24th.-The eagerly
awaited debate in the House of Com
mons on the Irish question was inau-
gurated this afternoon when Mr.. AS
quith moved a resolution expressing alb
florence Of the recent Dublin assassina-
tions, condemnation of reprisals and
urging the taking of immediate steps
to bring about Irish pacifcation. The
motion was a composite resolution com
bining the independent liberal and la
bour motions and sponsored by Mr.. AS
quith, Sir Donald Maclean and Mr. Ar
thur Henderson. Mr.. Asquith, ampii-
flying the subjects set forth in the res
olution, condemned what he termed
the Governments policy of reprisals
which had driven moderate ~nationalists
opinion in Ireland into an attitude, not
Of asyynEipatthy with, at least Of supine
indifference to anarchic action. MIR. As
quith declared that there was only one
way for escape and the first step lay
with the Government. This, he said,
was to discontinue the reprisals. He
believed. he said, that an overwhelm-
ing majority of the Irish people and
the crown forces had nc sympathy
with reprisals. 1t was difficult, said
Mr.. Asquith, to speak with restraint
o Sundays assassinations in Dublin.
They were cruel, cold-hlooded murders,
he continued, and can only have been
the work of men who have lost all
sense Of humanity and honour. To
say such crimes are decreasing makes
it all the more necessary that the ex-
e~eutiyes shall be able to encounter
them with a clear front and clean hands.
Answering Mr., Asquith; Sir Hanar
Greenwood was loudly cheered on ris-

people of Ireland are not in favour
of murders" he said. They want
peace and they are getting peace be-
cause the forces of the crown are
breaking the terror" Sir Hamar de-
clared, the majority of the Irish peo-
pie were on the best of terms with the
soldiers and the police. The murder
gang in Ireland he continued, tissues a
document known as the Irish Republic
Bulletin and that murder gang sends the
bulletin to persons in England and the
newspapers in England and some of them
publish it What amazes me is that the
London Liberal declarations have actual
ly used the bulletin and based on it a
charge Of re prisals so-calied and circula-
ted without IN comment except this,
Display this prominently wherever
you can The right Honorable gen
tleman (Mr. Asquith) is president of
that federation",E Sir Hamar added.
Sir Hamar noted that Mr.. Asquith had
referred to the comments of a United
States correspondent. we have certain
knowledge, continued the chief secre-
tary, that some of these erjoy the
hospitality Of the gang itself in Ireland.
They send their newspaper matter to
the United States to hurt the Anglo
American friendship and do their best
to damage the British Empire. | could
name these persons that have printed
the most notable falsehoods, but the
East election in the United States has
been an adequate response. Those who
set up to make the Irish question an
issue. rather than Anglo-American
friendship, were covered with defeat.
With regard TO the reprisals charge the
chief secretary declared there was not a
single authenticated case of anything
called a reprisal having taken place un-
der an officer. He cited an instance Of
soldiers who lost their heads because
of the murder of a lieutenant of whom
they were very fond, and had started
firing another officer drew a revolver and
threatened to kill any soldier who
did not stop shooting. with the re-
suit that the men stopped. The Crown
forces were daily growing more effec-
tive 1t was true that more of them
were being murdered, sbut that was be-
cause they were asserting the author
ity of the Crown. Extracts from a docu-
r11ent which had been recently captured
We're read to show that E7, 500 had been
spent in organizing the headquarters
staff OF the Republican army since July.
This, he said, was the centre of the
murder gang" ard it was from this
