THOSE .FRozEN CREDITS. :"

CHICAGO, December 6.-"Borrow-
fngs growing out of the farm trans
actions" says the federal reserve
bank here, particularly in land, that
were on speculative basis, must be
cleared up either now or in the near
future. Many of these are in the
shape of personal notes carried by
sIndications are that some. of these
borrowers are beginning to realize the
impossibility of carrying through
these contracts with the liabilities as
sumed, and adjustments are being
made by cancellation of contracts,
even though, in some instances, this
means a large loss. 1t is felt that
the credit situation, SO far as agri-
culture is concerned. cannot recover
until prices of the farmer go up, and
until that time liquidatiops will come
slowly.

cordfng to the French minister Of

by return to the most exaggerated
economic selfishness in every coun-

duties in gold, or by putting on ad-
ditional surtaxes in the import
tariffs or by anti-dumping measures" I"
