THE FINANCIAL MARKET

NEW YORK, Dec. 3-Trading on
the stock exchange today was quiet,
in contrast with the active sessions
earlier in the week. The uneven trend
Of prices resulted from the customary

mental was most prominent on con-

deal with Standard Oil of California
for joint operation of its large acreage
in Colombia.
Rails were apathetic, the few
changes in that group being confined
to coalers of secondary Importance and
the more popular Pacif1cS and Grang

better trade conditions.

December was relatively quiet but sold

Weekend cables indicated no i'm

previous week. Curtailment of pro-
duction there was estimated at 10000
pieces, or about in line with recent
figures
The amount Of cotton on board ships
awaiting clearance at the close of the
week was estimated at 100000 bales
against 14O, 900 bales last year. A more

effect by bank loans was depreciating
the value of all money, including
gold itself. Under ordinary condi-
tons, with the rest of the world on
the gold basis,s as before the war,
such an increase of bank loans in the
United States, accompanied by rising
prices, would have turned the trade
balance against this country, caused
exports of gold, and by the loss of
bank reserves compelled restric-
ton of lending, but with the trade
balance heavily in our favor this
steadying influence was not in effect.
It has been charged that the Fed
eral Reserve authorities and other
bankers set out deliberately to debate
prices. but this is not the case. They
set out to check the alarming increase
of banksloans and to hold the volume
of reserve bank liabilities within the
limit fixed by the law.
In the fall of 1919 the country was at
the parting of the ways. The reserves
of the Federal Reserve banks were
down practically to the limit set By
the Federal Reserve Act--a lint
fixed with careful and unbiased judge
ment when the act was passed beforel
the war. The Federal Reserve Act
provides that the reserve require
ments may be suspended for period
of thirty days and that such suSpen-
sion may be renewed for periods notI
exceeding fifteen days, but these are
clearly emergency provisions. More
over, the law provides that a grad
uated tax shall be levied upon the
amount by which these reserves fall
below the regular limit, and also that
the rate of the tax shall be added to
the regular discount rates while the
deficiency continues. These pro-
visions clearly show the purpose and
spirit of the law.
The banking situation at the close
of 1919 had practically reached the
position where the law required these
provisions to become effective, and
the steps gradually taken by the Fed
eral Reserve banks to increase dis
count rates were for that purpose.
There was no sudden stop in. the in
crease of loans; in fact the aggregate
continued to grow until the fall of
1920 Moreover, the record shows
that the prevailing impression that
the reserve banks have Disseminated
against the agricultural sections is
not borne out by the record. An
analysis of reports from about $500
member banks throughout the coun-
try has been made by the Federal
Reserve Board, which shows that be-
tween May 4, 1920, and April %,
1921, the borrowings from the Fed
erai Reserve banks in agricultural
counties increased 500 per cent !:
