ELASTIC cuRRENCY Cont

81. What II the limit upon the
note-issuing power Of Federai
Reserve bank?
The law requires that a Federal
Reserve bank must maintain reserves
in gold OF not less than 40 per cent
against it's Federal Reserve notes In
circulation. The total volume of gold
held by a Federal Reserve bank Is,
therefore. a very important element
OF the question. The Federal Reserve
Board Is authorized 10 limit the
amount OF Federal Reserve notes
which any Federal Reserve bank may
issue and have outstanding at any
one time; and II Is also authorized,
under certain conditions LAID down
in the act. to modify the reserve re-
quirements with respect TO Federal
Reserve notes.
IS. What amount OF Federal Re
serve notes of the Federal. Reserve
Bank of Richmond are now out
standing?
On December 81. 1919, the Federal
Reserve Bank OF Richmond had in
actual circulation Federal Reserve
notes amounting to S145,765,320; on
June so. 1920. the actual circulation
was sI244S7,275.
80. What are Federal Reserve
bank notes and why are they is
sued?
When the Federal Reserve act was
passed. that provision OF the national
bank act which required national
bank to invest a part OF it's psid-up
capital in United States bonds against
which national bank notes could be
issued was repealed. so that while
national banks are still allowed to
issue notes IL is no lOnger necessary
for them TO do so. At the same time,
provision was made in the act for the
gradual retirement of national bank
circulation and the purchase by Fed
eral Reserve banks of the 2 per cent
United States bonds bearing the cir
culation privilege. Several such
purchases were made by direction of
the Federal Reserve Board, but pur-
chases were suspended when the
Government began its issues of Lib
crty bonds.
Federal Reserve hanks were au-
thorizcd by the act to exchange the
per cent bonds so purchased for
3 per cent thirty-year bonds and J
per cent onc-yesr renewable notes.
neither of which. however. bore the
circulation privilege, but they had the
right TO retain the per cent bonds
purchased from national banks and
TO issue against such bonds Federal
Reserve bank notes upon the same
terms and under the same conditions
that national banks are allowed to
issue national bank notes. The low

the lack of withdrawal feature.

right here in Washington one of
the most noteworthy successes in

In a period of IA months you will
get just as good a settlement from
the Equitable as anything promised

tion. Moreover. the Equitable is an
Infinitely older and and Infinitely
stronger banking institution. And
by taking out shares in it on the
monthly plan ($2.5O a share,) you
will not have the bother OF send
ing money through the mails, as
you can personally deliver your
installments every month.
Moreover you will have the ad-
vantage of becoming acquainted

The controversy between the rail-
road managers and union leaders for
a definite policy of settling disputes

BANK LOANS HAVE
REACHED HIGH PEAK
New York Reserve Bank Says
Point Was Reached on
October is.

The New York Federal Reserve
Bank, in It's monthly review OF credit
and business conditions, says the vol
ume OF bank loans In the country as a
whole reached it's highest point on
October Is. just a year after bank
loans In the district reached their
maximum.
The fall in commodity prices was
most pronounced in the last two
months coincident with the usual sea-
sonal expansion of bank loans. The
ready elasticity of credit at time
when prices were falling has been a
most important factor in meeting the
difficulties inherent in such a period.
Gold movements during September
resulted In a balance of So, 100, 900
favorable to this country, duo In part

ACTIVITY EARLY IN OCTOBER.
A marked revival OF activity has
occurred In the early part Of Octo-
Der, following month OF dullness
through September. A number OF
large issues, aggregatinG over $1TJ,-
600, 900, principally industrial notes
and bonds. were sold quickly. al
though tho yields in most cases were
slightly below the recent high levels.
Total new financing for the first
nine months of the year amounted TO
s2,354, 100000. a max imum so far as
the compilation extends, and over
5000. 00o, 900 greater than in the same
period of 1919.
A number of factors has Influenced
the foreign exchange market during
the past week. the most important of
which is the coal strike in England.
Weakness has been more pronounced
during the last few days. and prac-
tically all exchanges closed the mont II
considerably below the levels of Sep
TENDER so.
Export demand for American prod.
ucts has shown a further decline and
in many important lines new orders
have been much reduced. The fall in
prices of many commodities in foreign
as well as domestic markets, with the
attendant financial strain abroad. has
curtailed buying power, and every
