ARE NOT
 PLEASED BY STORY : TOLD BY HOUSTON
Delegates Trying to Get Cred it Leave Conference Much-
 ly Dissatisfied

Washington, Oct. 14.-Agricultural interests carried their fight for amel- oration of credit conditions today to Secretary Houston of the treasury department. They asked for reha abili- tation of the war finance corporation to foster exports to Europe and were told by the secretary that it was not in line with good business for the government to extend further credits to Europe which would be the result if the request was granted.
 The treasury would not be party, MT. Houston also declared, to the withholding of any commodity from market in order to maintain artificial ly high prices.
 After the delegation carried out it's plan of asking preferential discount rate on agricultural paper at hear ing before the full membership of the federal reserve board, they character ized the situation facing the produc- CTS due to the falling market as alarming" and insistd that one of the main purposes of the federal re- serve law was to furnish elasticity of currency for the agricultural inter ests in such emergencies.
 Leave DiscOntented
 There was distinct feeling of optimism among the delegates when they left the conference with the board although no action was taken
 The general meeting of the agricul- tural conference concluded today but a committee, representative of each of the thirty agricultural communi- ties, which made up the conference. will remain in Washington until the statement of credit policy, in prepar- ation by reserve banks and covering the whole credit situation, is made public. This committee called to- night on Secretary Meredith at his home, where the situation in which farmers generally find themselves was again gone over.
 A suggestion that farmers commit tees delegate representative to meet wit hthe American Bankers associa- tion at its session here next week in case the forthcoming policy of the reserve banks was nat viewed with favor by the growers waspending before the conference committee The policy statement is expected to be issued tomorrow night.
