Discuss Farm Loan Act

Washington. March 27.-The fed
eral reserve board, in conjunction
with the governors OF the IL reserve
banks, meeting in semiannual CON
ference here, moved today to curb the
flood of rumors concerning possible
changes in the boards policy and re-
ports of contemplated increases in the
rediscount rates of banks.
In answer to more than 100 tele-
graphic inquiries. the board categori-
caily denied ANY rumors with respect
TO its intentions of actions and in
formed one and all that it would
make its own statements when such
we're required The message invited
inquirers to supply the board with in
formation regarding the source OF the
iumors. adding in substance that 1t
would not waste its time in denying
all idle runors."
No Reason for Report.
There seemed to have been no def
nite reason for the reports, officials
said, nor could they explain. they
said why SO much significance was

the governors here. It was made
known authoritatively that none Of
the y banks has yet filed with the
board an application TO increase its
rates and the consensus of opinion
appeared to be that none was in i'm
mediate contemplation.
Changes in business conditions and
The general financial situation. how
ever, it was explained may bring
changes In rediscount rates. but how
soon these changes would come was
declared by reserve board members TO
depend entirely on conditions.
With respect to the meeting OF the
governors. It was stated officially that
thus far there had been no DISCUSSION
Of rediscount rates. The conference.
Il was added. devoted itself until late
tcday with questions involving bank
ing operations solely.
A general exchange of information
Tor the purpose OF solving operating
problems had been tho order in pre-
vious meetings.
Confer on Farm Loans.
The governors did confer. however,
with members of the farm loan board
at the afternoon session, but Com
missioner Lobdell OF the loan board
said later that the discussion had
embraced only the administration Of
the new agricultural credits act which
is under supervision OF the loan
board, although its operation has an
indirect effect on the reserve system
functions.
Although II was denied officially.
there were indications that the CON
ference also had talked over the ques-
ton of interest rates which the loan
board will establish on loans under
the new law.
The governors meeting probably
will continue until Thursday, al
though it was said II might conf
plete its routine discussion tomorrow.
