National Bank OF Chicago, followed a
meeting in Washington on January 6
Of bankers representing clearing house
associations, called by the Federal Re-
serve Board, at which final action on
the question of interest rates on bank
balances was postponed until the Chi
cago meeting.
In making the recommendations to-
day the gathering declared: "It is the
opinion of this conference that the
Federal Reserve Board should be free
to establish its rates Of discounts with
cut reference to any clearing house
regulations as to the payment Of
interest"
This view was expressed at the
Washington meeting by Governor
Harding, who appealed to the bankers
not to make a scramble for deposits" j."
by advancing interest rates on bal
ances. He protested against "a ten
dency to turn deposits into investment
funds"

JEWELRY-Lorse Shipments
OF W0tch CRYSTALS Receired

Consignments of 10000 gross OF
watch crystals have arrived in this
country within the last few days from
AlsaceLorraine. These shipments are
the first TO be received in several
months. Supplies in the hands Of the
watchmakcrs were nearly exhausted.
Shipments from now on, however, i'm
porters declare. will reach this country
regularly, as conditions in the French
crystal making factories are nearly
normal.
The demand for watches in the
United States has been so great that
the available supply of crystals has
not been sufficient to go around. Japan
has been shipping large quantities Of
the watch glasses TO this country, but
jobbers complain that these goods are
much inferior to those coming from
France. During the last year the cost
Of crystals has advanced 25 per cent.
bringing the total increase since 1914
to e5 per cent. Even ut these increased
figures. importers are eager to pur-
chase all available supplies.

While Chancellor Karl Renner WAS IN

that country undertook to supply arms
to Hungary. but Austria covenanted ,o
furnish q certain amount Of armamer.
