ned to spend large portion of today
at the Capitol in conferences with mem
bers Of Congress in an effort to expedite
war veterans.
While the committee was in session
yesterday planning their pilgrimage to

tion Of a total of S35 900 900 in five bills

The committee members were expected
today to lay before members Of Congress
their views on the need OF consolidating
the vocational training and war risk bu-
rears and as much of the public health
service as relates to ex service men.
A bill now pending proposing such
consolidation does not meet with the ap.

which have caused financial conditions

strain has been considerably reduced.
The first month Of the new year brought
forth good volume Of interest and

its way into the investment field in q
fairly large measure, although n great
part of such funds always goes into
the savings accounts of the individual.
As an Offset to some Of this fund, the
spending power has been greatly re.
duced through the laying off or un.

fairly strong among the leading bank

have not increased their balances at
the larger centers to any extent owing
to the slow liquidation Of loans in Sec
tiOns of the interior.
Banks at the larger centers report
their ability TO reduce materially their

sition and talking about declines in

20 20 possible development of friction in
tne railway field and to the general
absence OF what they referred to as

important factor, however. is not SO
much fears Of railroad trouble or money

iotive interests disposed TO sell stocks,
there is little probability Of outside buy
ing In volume enough to cause activity

January's movement OF stock cattle
was the smallest for the month since
1912. Only $40 carloads Of stockers and
feeders left Omaha against 1870 n year
ago. No cattle shortage is likely to de-
velop unless the industrial situation
greatly improves, as the corn belt Is
full OF bullocks in the ripening stage

ible.
