COllieries Forced to Mark
Time Friday, Woodin
Is Advised.
EFFECT is DEPRESSING
Carriers Gave Earlier AS
slIrances of Ability to
Move Coal
EMERGENCY MAY ARISE
Strictest Economy Necessary
Both in Letter and Spirit,
Authority Says.

Anthracite collieries had to stop and
mark time Friday because their high
speed output had swamped the rail-
roads temporarily. William III. Woodin,
State Fuel Administrator. said he had
been advised.
In face of the carriers earlier as
surances that they were in shape to
move all coal as fast as mined, this
disclosure had a depressing effect. 1t
served to throw new light upon the
apparent consensus among local coal
men that this years anthracite pro-
duction will oe only half years sup
ply at best.
An emergency can still very easily
arise the first cold snap, 1t was empha-
sized by the State fuel authority, un-
less strictest economy is observed both
in etter and spirit.

Although announcement OF the gov

no objection will be made to the
Uv1 tr-
announced. Republics report for
the second quarter was generally
c2nsNsred favorable although fixed
arges were earned by a narrow
iargin and there was some buying
bf the stock In the belief that the
third quarter of the year will show
much more favorable results. The
quarterly earnings statement Of the
steel Corporation Is due on Tues
day and Is generally expected to be
favorable so that many traders be-
lieve that a new high price for the
year in this issue is justified.

try can do toward reestablishment of

Agency for Loans.
With respect to establishment Of
an intermediate agricultural credit
system, the committee proposed that
congress set up an agency to discount
loans on live stock paper and on other
commodities secured by
warehouse receipts for terms of six
months to three years. This agency
would be given the right to issue de-
;bentures, saleable in the open market,
against paper ON which loans had been
advanced and,,to have it's paper redis-
counted by the federal reserve bank
Amendment Of the federal reserve
act to give the representative banks
power to buy and sell, with or without
Endorsement by member banks, notes
secured by warehouse receipts for
readily marketable -perishable ag-
ricultural staples and live stock was
recommended.
The amendment urged for the farm
land bank act would increase the
amount one individual is permitted to
borrow from $4,000 to $25,000 and
would permit joint stock land banks
to issue bonds in an amount UP to 20
times their capital.
