Reserve Bank Lower Rates.

Governor Harding. of the Federal
Reserve Board. announced today that
the board has approved reductions in
rediscount rates of from to Az per
cent In the Federal reserve bank Of
Boston. and from to 5h per cent in
the Federal reserve bank of Dallas.
Tex.
The reduction in rediscount rates
already announced and pending were
described today by Secretary Hoover
as pointed milestones in the progress
toward recovery"
Discussing the financial conditions
throughout the country, Mr.. Hoover
said that the fall of interest rates was
always demonstration of relief from
credit strain. 1t was "a pronounced
phenomenon" Of the tail end of de-
preston when money rates decline, he
said, expressing belief that the new
rates would increase production and
aid the situation generally.

RIGGS NATIONAL
GET
HAMILTON BANK
Announcement Made This After
noon by President Milton E.
Allies, Of Riggs Bank.

Control OF the Hamilton Savings
Bank with banking houses at Seventh
and l streets, and Fourteenth and
Park road, has been taken over by
interests identified with the Riggs Ma
tional Bank. according to announce
ment made this afternoon by Milton II.
Allies. president OF the Riggs.
Mr. Allies In a statement said:
"The move has long been In con-
temptation. first. In order that the
strength and service of the Riggs Ma
tional Bank may be carried to outlying
districts. II being fully realized that
the growth of the city OF Washington
Is such that the great central down
town institutions can no longer ade-
quately serve business, communities
that have developed at distance from
the center.
I'VE purpose, therefore, to carry
our service TO our customers rather
venienced by the necessity OF making
daily long trips to us. Secondly We
earnestly desire to offer a cure for
gradually developing bad banking
situation In Washington.
THE multiplication Of minor banks
under State charters without adequate
business reasons therefor is becoming
matter OF some concern. The move
we have made Ia In the interest OF
strengthening the general banking sit
uation, and we trust others OF the
larger and stronger institutions VIII
follow the lead we have taken to bring
about safer and sounder banking In
Washington. In all this Mr.. Glover
has given his earnest and enthusiastic
support"

denial OF the fact that price move
ments are in part a reflection OF a
gradual change that Is taking place In
the Industrial and economic outlook
of the world in general, and the United
States In particular.
I'VE do not mean TO infer that the
stage has been set for bull market
or that stock prices will advance by
leaps and bounds at once. On tho
contrary, there are still several sore
spots that must be smoothed over be-
fore we can expect higher market
quotations. Readjustment In steel and
copper, as well as several other lines,
although. It has been advanced to 4
considerable extent, is not yet COM
plete. and since these fields are OF
vital importance in almost every ac-
tivity, their return to normal exerts
a powerful influence all around"
