Credit Situation Not
Holding Business Back
ADVANCING
WASHJNGTON'S INTERESTS

There has lately been manifest IN many quarters the mis-
taken idea that the credit situation alone the fundamental
of the present retardaon Of business activities generally
The Guaranty Survey monthly review of worldwide
business and financial conditions issued by the Guaranty Trust
says "The necessity for eadustng underlying industrial
conditions Seemingly not thoroughly understood Instead OF
proper concentration of effort this primary task number
Of legal measures being proposed which would render this
readjustments difficult
Some of these proposals have their purpose the arbitrary
limitation of the discretionary of the Federal Reserve
Board. sax
Thcrehas been introduced In the House of Representatives
for instance bill which would prohibit Federal Reserve Banks
from charging member banks in any transaction with item
greater rate of interest than per cent ptr annum.
The passage of this bill would automatically deprive the
Federal Reserve Banks of the power they posses
trolling initiation
The inevitable result would be to recreate conditions under
which pancs might be pcpated and of the chief
purposes for which the Federal Reserve system designed
the prevention of such panics.

Of the Consolidated dividend Will not

: rumor that insiders have been SELF

Inquiry among those closely con-

statement that IL is dih1cuit to UNDER

with AFFAIRS would be selling At this
level.

toners.

current quotation yields over Is per

Wall Street Gossip

NEW YORK. june 7s.---Artincial
respiration 10 often beneficial. but
not when app;tsd to business.
Despite dsnieis by bsnkerS. the
rumor that such means are being
rssorted to continues TO gain
strength, with rotary credit" most
often whispsr.d.
Combined with the rumors IL . re-
port that certain pools are to bring
about . movement In stocks next
week.
with the raiIroad labor question to
bs settled over the weekend. the
likelihood OF any big movement this
week is not very bright.
For that reason the pools are
circulating the information that they
will move their stocks after the hoIt-
day. II these rools w1re in a. strong
. position as they state. II 10 rather
surprising why they hesitate.
The worst thing from . financial
viewpoint that could happen would
be for the railroad workers to vote
to strike. As the market usually
advances on strike news. there would
lay.
A market move engineered By the
pools would mean ARTIFICIAL respira-
tion" Of the worst kind.
1t would induce buying BY outsid-
ers. and as this buying would prob
ably not develop until the pools were
licuidating q decline would follow,
resulting in more bad feeling.
II stocks that are selling cheap
were to be pushed higher the result
would be benenciai, but II those is-
sues that have been grossly oysr-man-
ipulated are again advanced, the re-
suit will be further depression.
BUYING by RAILROAD.
Farsigfted traders expect the rail-
roads to boone the leaders in the
nE-awaitsd buying movement.
They point out that the Admins
tration has apparently adopted ia
vorable policy.
Payment Of the Governments debt
to them should stimulate the move
ment.
Many Of the roads, however, are
still In debt TO the Government on
obligations accrued during Federal
control, and railroad executives are
understood to be anxious TO have the
payment Of those debts postponed or
deferred.
Some discussion has taken place on
plan to refund these loans into
long-term notes, which would uiti-
mately be marketed. Such action
would leave the roads sufficient funds
to make purchases Of new equipment
and materials for improvements.
Not only would the equipment in
dustry be stimulated by this buying.
but IL would reflect on steel and
other metals and have . decided In
nuence on many industries.

UNTowARD PossIBILITIEs.

USTowARD POSSIBILITIES.
Likewise. It has been proposed ia
amend the Federal Reserve act with
view to restricting the authority OF
the Federal Reserve Board in curtail-
ing credit.
sSuch an arbitrary legal regula-
tion would be fraught with possib!ii-
ties for mischief. and worse. The ad-
vance notice of \ forthcoming re-
striction upon lexibie paper, under
conditions which this proposed
amendment would cyeate. would in
duce q rush OF demands upon the
member banks for credit accommoda-
tions Prospective borrowers would
wish to obtain accommodations be-
fore the restriction should become ef-
fective. Instead OF aiding in a sta
hilixation of credit conditions, there
fore. the effect of such an amendment
would be to weaken the Federal Re-

Days Dealings i'm Bonds
The Market

Advances in various railroad issues
and general strength marked the
course Of the bond market yesterday,
which opened with. rush after the
three hours delay, caused by the
Stock Exchange fire. The second and
fourth n per cent Liberty bonds were
strong and active, the seconds closing
at a net gain of cents. Dealings in
the industrials were comparatively in
significant as to volume and price
changes. That the bond market has
not only turned the corner, but has
struck fast pace is an opinion held
by many persons competent to judge.
A member of leading conservative
bond firm said yesterday that he had
never seen a stronger market. ''There
are more investment bonds moving
out Of the Street now than ever be-
fore in my memory" he said "The
only approach to it that / recall was
in the period Immediately preceding
the reopening Of the Stock Exchange
in 1914"
