Harding has directed that no further
contracts for the purchase of land or
erection of buildings for banking
quarters be entered into by the Fed

sanction of Congress for such opera.

One Of the plans considered by the

Governor Harding has also written
q letter to Chairman Mclean. Of the
Senate Committee on Banking and
Currency. explaining the situation az

or branches, and that in each case
the accommodation Is sorely needed,
especially since the Federal Reserve
banks have taken over the work OF
the sub-treasuries. The letter points
out that no Government money is
being used at all, but only sums con-
tributed by the member banks, In
accordance with the organic act.
Annual Meetings Tuesday.
Many important changes in the
personnel Of local financial institu.
tons will take place next Tuesday,

Quiet accumulation IL noted in
Reading. In fact It IL said to have
been going on for some time. Il is
pointed out that the segregation case
will be argued in the Supreme Court
some time this month and that q de-
cision II looked for within sixty or
ninety days thereafter. This dscis-
ion will settle the question for all
time a. to the right Of preferred share
holders to share in any melons or
stock subscription rights and should
be watched for by every one interest

shareholders be successful in their
endeavor to exclude the preferred
holders II should have some effect on
the stock. However, II IL a legal ques.

WALL STREET GOSSIP

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Another
motor dividend Of which some un.
easiness is expressed is that of White
Motor. While the meeting Is still
some time off, there is some feeling
that a change may be made. White
is paying Q per cent quarterly on it,
$50 par stock, which amounts to 81
annually. Business is estimated to be
running at slightly less than 40 per
cent OF capacity, and while this IL
some Improvement over what II has
been, there Is expectation that d.
rectors may decide to hold off further
distributions until q clearer idea II
gained concerning demand in 1922.

Steel Merger Talk.

In any pessimism that may de.
velop in the early future II should be
remembered that the merger consid.
erations are still going forward Most
particularly Is this true Of the
steel industry. When present plans
are carried out there is likely to be
three or four big corporations and
very few small producers working
alone. The meyer of the so-called
Campbell properties is working out
satisfactorily. In addition plans for
the consolidation Of Otis Steel and
other Cleveland works are well un.
der way. Two or three others ar
also spoken Of. As the process OF
valuins the respective properties pro
ceeds, the effect is likely to be no
ticeable in the stocks.

The RediscOunt Rate.

Investigation in banking circles
and elsewhere now tends to the be.
lief that the local rediscount rate IL
liable to remain unchanged for awhile
The opposition to a further cut, II is
learned. Is quite strong, and those
directors that feel that a 4 per cent
rate should prevail are inclined to
hold off for awhile. Those opposed
to cut believe that II would result
In q flood of paper that might undo
part Of the good work already carried
on. Some further commercial diff.
culties are looked for, and until these
are out Of the way II 10 stated tn"

points out that when the market

speculation. 1t will be figures that
