peeial Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO. March 31.-The most
gnif1cant thing about the business
ituation in Chicago and the middle
west today is the shrinkage in de-
posits of commercial banks without
a corresponding decrease in loans.
For the first sixty days of the year
the banks were reducing their bor-
rowings at the reserve banks. This
was in response to the high money
rates and the forced liquidation. De-
posits are still shrinking, but bor-
rowings by large Chicago banks are
mounting again.
of eligible paper at the reserve
banks, the county banks, whose de-
posits have also decreased heavily.
are seeking accomm odation for their
Chicago correspondents. This indi-
Gates that liquidation has not run
its course.
The extreme reluctance of some re-
tailers to reduce prices and take loss
es is the cause advanced by bankers.
This reluctance becomes more pro-
nounced as the necessity for taking
losses becomes more apparent.
Want Banks to Garry Them.
Not infrequently, a merchant ad-
vertises that the goods offered have
been bought at prevailing low prices,
which may be interpreted to mean
that loans against the goods have
been made on the same basis. But
when the sale of goods at possible
prices will not bring enough funds to
pay bank loans the merchant be-
comes reluctant and seeks to extend
the time of paying the bank rather
than sacrifice expected profits or take
losses. The farmer is in a similar
position. although he can feed his
grain in many instances.
The price level is then still the
question of first Importance as the
country endeavors to reach normalcy.
Discussion of foreign trade develop
ment continues, but the foreign trade
enthusiasts speak only in terms Of
Increased exports. Foreign trade
means imports as we'll as exports,
and of substantially the same value.
Otherwise, such trade can have no
