A. B. A. NOTES

Section programs for the Wash
ington convention Of the American
Bankers Association. October IS to
%, will be unusually attractive.
with the technical questions OF
banking as affect each section well
covered by expert opinion.
Not only will the main convention
sessions and the section programs
be completed with a wide variety
Of interesting and noted speakers.
but the magnitude Of the bankers
gathering is added to by many i'm
portant conferences.
On the three business DAYS prior
to the American Bankers AssocIs-
ton convention. a conference Of
Federal bank officials will be held
The Federal Reserve agents and
eG-officio members Of the Reserve
Board and the six members Of the
board will constitute this impor-
tsnt gathering from which sign'-
fcant announcements are likely 10
emanate. Coming just before the
A. B. c. convention il is probable
that many Of the members Of the
advisory council OF the Federal Re-
serve Board NAV also be in attend
ance. together with leading repre-
sentstives from banks all over the

WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York. Sept. 25.-Bradstreets
says in its weekly review:
Price readjustments, past, pres
ent or to come. have seemed to
hold the center of the stage this
week and impart an unusually ir-
regular appearance to trade dis
tribution. Wholesale and jobbing
trade has naturally reflected a big
, share of the unsettlement visible.
and reports from this line are not
greatly different from a week ago.
whereas retail business shows a
shade more of activity
Regarding this matter of price
changes it might be said that cuts
in colored cottons, which seem to
have registered sharply on public
consciousness this week, were real
ly made by the mills and large
jobbers last week, and were so an
nounced then. Cuts in automobile
prices have, however, seemed to
catch the public eye. and the re-
sponse of mail order houses to the
cuts in cottons and other textiles
have made marked impressions,
tending to dwarf the known fact
that September has seen a rather
rapid and widespread marking
down of quotations in other lines
which seems likely to give that
month as a whole especial promi-
nence in the history of price read
justment following the war.
Commodity price movements
show some notable recessions. Corn
fell through the dollar price for fu-
lures at the West, cotton has re-
fiected poor trade reports at home
and abroad in a 2-cent decline"

COTTON PRICES
DROP SHARPLY
Additional Announcements
Of Price Cuts Forces
Crops to Lower Levels.

New York, Sept. 25. Another
fresh batch of announcements OF
cuts in prices of commodities, pessi-
istic statements about industrial
conditions and the increasing weight
OF the movement of the new crop
together with rumors of a possible
hitch in the negotiations for the
settlement of the British coal min
ers' dispute and additional declines
in the spot article caused another
rush to sell cotton futures today
under which the market was forced
into new low ground.
The market opened unsettled at
decline of to 110 points. Distant
positions were steadier on a demand
from Wall Street and Liverpool.
Nearby options ruled weak under
heavy overnight selling both from
northern and southern sources. Sta
tistics were bearish. Immediately
after the start the list scored rapid
rise to last nights bids or higher
on liberal covering by shorts for
over the week end. There also was
a scattered inquiry from mills for
October, December and January.
Late in the forenoon the market
brCke to fresh low levels under a
wave of southern selling, which
forced out much of the cotton that
had been bought earlier for a reac-
tion. Selling orders came from New
Orleans, Memphis, Savannah and
Texas. There were several dis
patches telling of easier spots, with
an Indifferent demand from spin
ners. The close was weak at a net
decline of 22a110 points.
The receipts at the ports for the
day were about $4,000 bales against
l2.3S5 bales a week ago and 5000
bales a year ago,
Spot here was quiet with middIing
so points lower at % cents; there
were no sales.
Spot at New Orleans was quiet
with middling so points lower at 2

LOCAL BANKERS
LOCATE ANEW
Ideal Spot Chosen by Crane,
Paris & Co. in Heart Of
Growing Section.

Another indication of the trend OF
business northward on Fifteenth
street Is evidenced by the removal
of Crane, Paris & Company, bs Ak
ers, from 72s Fifteenth street to
s2S Fifteenth street. This firm is
now occupying very handsome Of
fees in a remodeled building which
was formerly a part of the old
Chamberlain Hotel property. an
which adjoins the recently erected
Liberty National Bank Building on
the south.
On account Of the greatly in
creased volume Of business handled
by the firm. Crane, Paris & Com
psny found IL necessary to move TO
more spacious quarters. The pres
ent site was finally agreed upon for
new location that would give
every facility known to modern
banking. This particular block has
been most conspicuous during the
past year in local financial circles
owing to many leading firms tax
ing up permanent quarters there.
The old Chamberlain Hotel. In. its
palmy days, was one Of the fore
most establishments Of its kind n
this city. 1t was around the fireplace
in this historic old hotel that final
arrangements were made for the
flotation Of the 4 per cent govern
ment bond issue, during CleveIand's
administration, that saved the coun-
try from a financial panic.
BY reason Of their recent change,
Crane, Paris e. Company now
boast of one of the most commodi-
Gus customers room in Washing
ton in addition 20 more working
space and additional facilities for
the comfort and convenience OF
their clients.

GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Sept. 25-Public senti-
ment for general reduction of all
commodities forced wheat to the
lowest price at which it has sold
since trading in wheat features was
resumed on the board of trade last
July. The March future sold at
s2.O6. which is 2 cents lower than
it has sold before and half cent
lower than the December delivery

The ten cent drop in wheat at
