just as other bonds are IN the present
market, he said. sf
OF course, when these bonds were sold
all kinds of extravagant statements were
made about their liquidation at any time,
but everyone knows, he remarked, that
the one point emphasized above all
others was to buy them and hold on to
them. He said when the enormous
amount Of these bonds now outstanding
Is taken into consideration, the proper
tion of those offered for sale is not
alarming in comparison with other high
class bonds. Conditions have compelled
the present heavy liquidation. he re-
marked. and the fact that Liberty bonds
are selected from other collateral as the
easiest on which TO raise cash with the
least loss speaks for itself.
banker called attention to the fact
that there had been no short selling of
Liberty bonds on the New York Stock
Exchange. If there had been. he said,
the decline of today would not have been
SO abrupt. nor so heavy. He said there
was always n big short interest in Brit
ish consols which serves as balance
wheel and prevents violent rises and de-
clincs.
There was said to be some selling Of
Liberty bonds by wealthy holders for the
purpose of establishing losses in conncc-
tion with income tax payments and this
being the case. they will probably be
bought back again in few days.
The address made by Governor w.
p. G.. Harding. of the Federal Reserve
Board. when he expressed the attitude
of the board in regard to the country's
credit problem was favorably received
in the financial district yesterday.
The governor was addressing the
members Of the advisory council and
Glass "a" directors in Washington. He
advocated gradual liquidation. as op-
posed to too rapid deflation. in coping
with the present economic conditions
in fact. he advocated the avoidance of
all drastic steps. He pointed out that
the restoration of normal relationship
between volume of goods and volume oi
credits can be- accomplished by reducing
credit more rapidly than production Is
diminished, or by increasing production
Mt greater rate than credit is cx
pandcd, and advocated the latter plan.
He also urged greater economy in
living and called upon both Federal Re-
serve and member banks to campaign
against noncssential loans without cur
failing essential industries.
The following is brief of his state
mcnt on the credit situation:
Figures compiled by the boards
statistical division indicate that since
June SO. 1914. there has been an ex
pansion Of banking credit in the United
States. properly attributable to the war
of about S11 ZOO. .000.O 200. Since that
date there has been an increase ir
money in actual circulation of about
! 81 900. ZOO. 900. When II is considered
that our government has. during the
last three years, noated S26. 900. 200, ,OOt
Of securities to meet it's war require
mcnts aud its advances to governments
associated with it in the war. tn,
credit expansion which has taken place
is neither excessive nor alarming wher
viewed from the standpoint Of war ne
cessity."

When discussing Governor Harding's
address to Federal Reserve Glass "A"
directors. and especially that part of it
applying to noncsscntial loans. a hnan-
cicr said that already he bad seen its
effects.
He said that there has been so much
wild speculation in real estate recently
