BANKER SEES DANGERS
TO RAILS IN CAPPER BILL
McAdams Says State Rate
Making Is Backward Step.

Special Despatch to THE New YoRK HxRsIp.
CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-The pending Cap
rer bill. which would curtail the powers
Of the Interstate Commerce Commission
and restore the rate fixing duty TO the
individual States. Is fraught with serious
dangers to the railroads and to their
ability 10 meet the transportation needs
OF the country, Thomas B. McAdams.
president OF the American Bankers AS
sociation, declared to-day in an address
at the Chicago Bankers Club dinner.
Legislation of this character is step
backward. 1t may be argued that State
authorities should have control over
intrastate rates which do not affect
interstate commerce, and there seems
but slight legal doubt that the States
have such authority without any addi-
tional legislation. But the fact is there
are practically no intrastate rates which
do not affect interstate commerce, and
particularly no intrastate rates which
placed upon a permanently lower basis
than Interstate rates would not be q
discrimination against Interstate COM
nerce on fair. equal terms.
This legislation is obviously an at
tempt to restore the possibility of
discriminating between intrastate and
interstate commerce. 1t is also appar-
emily an attempt to throw the burden
Of their dereliction on interstate rates
The proposed bill would destroy the
whole idea of responsible regulation. The
present law was framed with the ide,,
OF making the future regulation of the
railroads a direct responsibility of the
Interstate Commerce Commission"

Heavy chemicnls' Good Position.

Manufacturers Of heavy chemicals are
doing a good business direct with con-
sumers, but brokers are without orders
of any size and the jobbers position f.
not satisfa ctory, Drug md Chemical
Markets will say to-day. Prices are
reported generally firm. Reduced buy
ing OF fine chemicals has weakened
prices, with trading confined to products
needed for Immediate use while in
ventories are being taken. Business In
crude drugs IA less active and resistance
to price shading Is not as strong as Il
was last week. Price charges are fewer.
Citric acid imported arinine and tine
ture OF iodine are reported cheaper, but
prices of glvcerine. quicksilver and de-

are refusing to grant further conces-
sions. The ruling by the dye and chemi-

CHINA PAYS INTEREST
AND GETS EXTENSION
Pacific Development Co. Pro-
longs SIS, 500, 900 Loan.

Z. q. Bruce, president of the Pacific
Development Corporation, issued the fol-
lowing statement yesterday:
THE Chinese Government has to-day
paid the interest due December on the
$5.500.000 loan, and the corporation has
extended the principal Of the loan for a
period of three months from December
l, 1921. This action has been taken at
the request of the Chinese Government
in expectation that the negotiations
which are now pending. will enable it
to pay the loan to the Pacific Develop
ment Corporation during the ninety day
period
The PRINCIPAL and interest of the
$5,500,000 loan to the Chinese Govern
ment through securities sold by a group
headed by the Continental and CONNER
cial National 10 nix, continue In default,
but there Is little parallel between the
two situations. The Pacific Develop
ment loan had been distributed and 1t
was comparatively easy to make an ex-
tension.

LENDING ON BANKERS
ACCEPTANCES GAINING
Council Reports Widening
Recognition of Security.

Loans against bankers acceptances
are commanding widening recognition
among large lenders of money and are
rceiving preference, not only as to rates
but also as TO consideration. says the
November bulletin of the American Ac-
ceptance Council.
During the last six months great
many millions of what may be consid-
cred new money has entered the market
for loans against bills. and with the
cxl rcss stipulation that it should be
loaned against acceptances rather than
against other securities as collateral"
says the bulletin. There is being loaned
on cali against acceptances about $751;
100000 and approximately $4,000. 900
against Government certificates of in

A tendency to match their shoes with
the type and the design of their hosiery
Is noted among both men and women.
According to hosiery dealers, It Is in
direct contrast to the vogue prevalent
last year. when the opposite tendency
prevailed. The increasing Importance
Of hosiery as an article OF wearing ap-
parel and as an indication of style Is
given as reason for the attention given
