encouraged and all others discouraged.
 The federal reserve bank does not deal with the public. It deals with it's member banks, re-discounts their pa per and encourages them to make legitimate loans for the increase of production. The people of certain section must rely upon themselves to increase the business and prosperity of their section and they must bend every effort and use every means within their power to aid in the production and marketing of the crop most es- sential to that prosperity After that the federal bank. through its mem Der banks, may aid them.
 The organization of the California citrus growers is a fine example of what is meant by local organization and CO., operation in the aid of essential crops. Such an organization creates markets maintains prices. controls competition and regulates profits to the benefit of both producer and con sumer. Such an example can be well followed by cotton producers and their organization into a harmonious unit would be the signal for their continu- ous prosperity.

Financial Review
By ERIC KOBBE Of BIyth, Witter & Go.
Local oruanization vs. Federal Aid

Local Organization Vs. Federal Aid
 The endeavor of wheat and cotton growers to obtain financial aid through the federal reserve banks in order to hold their crops until the price of the commodities reach such a point as will enable them to realize a small profit brings up a discussion of the funda- mental purpose of the reserve banks and how their resources may be used. And how, if such financial aid cannot be obtained, local organization and CO., operation can overcome such a defi- ciency.
 It seems to be the erroneous opinion of many people that the federal re- serve bank. by rushing it's resources to a certain section of the country to bolster up a certain crop, can thus aid the farmer to obtain a fair price. Or that the aid of the federal reserve bank can be used to bolster up or lower the price of a crop, as might be desired. Nothing of the sort can be done and the federal bank would not do it if it could because it is preposterous to think that the federal reserve system could be used to go into one section of the country and give it aid to the pos sible detriment of another section, or that one business or enterprise in a certain section should be fostered and

Market News

NEW YORK, Nov 11.-Numerous speculative issues were subjected to further bearish aggressions in the stock market today, but recognized leaders of the railway and industrial classes offered a fair degree of resist ance to professional pressure.
 Selling of motors, shippingS, equip ments, sugars and several of the utili- ties at gross declines of three to almost 10 points coincided with reports of if nanciaI needs, and other conditions of an unfavorable nature, these mostly indicating additional slowing down of various industries.
 The more vulnerable shares included Willys- Pierce Arrow pre- ferred, Atlantic Gulf. General Electric, Sears Roebuck, American Sugar, and American Express. Oils and few of the junior rails also yielded moderately with unclassified specialties. but Re plogle Steel was prominent for it's net gain of 61a points.
 Failure of the Southern Pacific di- rectors to announce the terms of the companys oil segregation gave rise to reports of a hitch" but these met with prompt denial in which the stock recovered part of it's decline.
 Trading was light in comparison with recent active sessions, dealings | falling away almost one-t third. There was a sharp upward spurt in the final hour based on the ease of call money which fell from 9 to per cent, the lowest rate in several weeks, but this was neutralized by another break in foreign exchange. Sales, soc 900 shares
 The decline in international rates carried London quotations Az cents under the recent high, while French Italian, Spanish and Greek rates fel to discounts never before known in tho market, South American and Cana dian quotations also breaking.
