CONNECTICUT 23D
 IN MOTOR VEHICLES
Has More Machines Than Nss ,ss Other Larger States

Hartford. Sept. 5.-Ranked in the order of total registrations of motor vehicles, Connecticut stands 2Sd among the states of the Union.
 Nine states of larger population, Georgia, Tennessee, Maryland, West Virginia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi have less motor vehicles registered than Connecticut. Sixteen states of smaller populations take rank after Connecticut. Nebraska and Cobra do are the only states with less in- habitants than Connecticut which have more motor vehicles, Hartford and New Haven, each, have more automobile owners than there are in the entire state of Nevada, and almost as many as in Delaware.
 At the end of last year, 1S9, 566 motor vehicles had been registered in Connecticut for 1923. The 200,- oo0 mark was passed early in July this year, and indications are that the total registrations for 1924 will reach 225.0OO.
 In other words, if all the cars registered in Connecticut were to be operated in the public roads Of Connecticut, exclusive of city streets, at one time, there would be one for every 32S feet of roadway throughou the entire state. If all had set out with the purpose of covering fixed distance, a car at the head of the line moving along lazily at an un- reasonably low speed, would tie Up the whole procession or force the thousands of cars behind to turn out to pass 1t, practice which, while often necessary, is one that contrib utes to a large percentage of the accidents reported to the state motor vehicle department.
 These two practices, those of ex, tremely slow driving and passing other cars as well as excessive speed are becoming more serious prob. lems as the number of motor vehi' cles increases.

STRONG
U. S. Government Obligations
Led Bond Market
All Week.
BY MUNROE ROBERTS.
Copyright. 1924, by Cosmopolitan
News Service

NEW YORK, April Reunited
States Government obligations led
the bond market both in activity and
strength during the past week. With
the exception Of the tax.exempt
avs, all war loans sold at or above
par, some Of them reaching new
high levels for the year.
Strength was in reflection Of an
extremely easy money condition
which, judged by the further i'm.
provement in the Federal Reserve
position, appeared to be more than
momentary. Passage by the Senate
Of the bonus bill without the cash
feature, eliminating the danger Of
extensive Government financins,
and rumors of probable reduction
iorceful factors in the advance
Buying was primarily for banks and
other financial institutions, but part
OF the activity was ascribed to fears
Of apprehension Of investors who b:'
came alarmed by the recent sharp
decline in some of the medium grade
and speculative issues. The rise in
that group has brought the yield on
Liberties to just a shade above 4 per
cent, this being close to the pre-war
yield for Federal Government bonds.
A natural sequel to the strength
in the Liberty loan section was the
increased demand for other high
grade obligations, which included
equipment trust certificates, land
bank bonds and gilt-edged corporate
issues.
The rapidity with which develop
ments were moving in European af-
fairs, as a result Of the prompt &C.
ceptance of the Dawes plan, reacted
favorably on the European dollar
bonds, especially the French issues,
which advanced to new highs for
the current year. Japanese 6h's re-
covered rather easily from their re-
cent depression.
Interest in the more speculative
descriptions was at low ebb. Both
rail and Industrial issues were dull
but while steadiness prevailed in the
former, the latter were featured d;
recurrent weakness in Wilson & c..
bonds which was set down as bear
raiding and occasional sinking spells
in American Sugar per cents.
New bonds offered this week to-
tailed about $60.000,0O0 against $685.
0O0, 900 last week, and $54, zoo, 900 in
the corresponding period of 1928.

NEW YORK, April 26.-Further
progress toward recovery was made
in the abbreviated session on the
stock exchange today. The advance
was accomplished without any note
worthy. change in the nevis, being
almost entirely the result OF the
withdrawal Of short lines by bear
SPECTATORS. 1t was evident that In
some instances they experienced a
good deal Of difficulty in extricating
themselves from an uncomfortable
position. In the case OF Cast Iron
Pipe the retreat took the appear
ance OF a rout, the stock being bid
up about 5 points shortly after the
opening to a new high record at go,
which compared with low Of S1h
in the previous session.
The week end merchantile +. re-
views did not throw any new light
on the business situation. In some
cases they struck a more unfavor-
able tone. They strongly empha,
sized the continued shrinkage of for.
ward orders, the trend toward con-
traction of mill operations and the
fact that even retail trade has not
come up to expectations. On the
other hand, attention was called to
the activity in building trades; the
large bank clearings, the reduced in
ventories in practically all lines and
the improved prospects for q solu-
ton of the reparation problem.
As had been the case yesterday,
Steel common assumed its position
of market leader, its rise to 1O1 re.
flecting the virtual certainty of a
50-cent extra dividend declaration
at next Tuesdays meeting. indie.
pendent steels followed suit, the ad-
vance being also in appreciation of
the fundamentally sound conditions
prevailing in the industry.
Oils gave an excellent account of
themselves, yesterdays rise being
furthered in many directions. EQUIP
ments, sugars, shipping and motors
showed consistent strength, WHY'S.
Overland preferred attracted special
attention advancing over 2 points.
Resumption of FOOL operations was
noted in a number of specialties,
notably General Electric, Dawson
Chemical and Savage Arms.
Railroad shares were neglected
hut steady. Norfolk and Western,
however. tended lower.
The market closed firm.
Bonds held steady in a fair vol
ume of trading.
Foreign exchanges led by sterl-
ing, developed strength probably in
connection with the preparations he.
ing made for the flotation of the
800, 100000 gold mark loan.

Congressman Hickey explained
that the bill will affect approx.
mately twenty-five temporary EN-.

after they had reached the retire

one month to year, Comptroller
General McCarl issued ruling that
their employment was a violation Of

a large number Of issues, Prairie
Oil and Gas, Imperial Oil Of Canada

There was a sustained demand
for various mid-continent and
Wyoming shares, notably Salt

NEW YORK, April 26.-Decreas.
ing crude oil supplies from western
fields, and steadily expanding con.
sumption is reflected today in the
stronger price situation in petroleum
markets. Oil men point out that
while the market has been passing
through another period Of hesitation
and uncertainty, the trend is more
clearly defined. Refiners are pre-
pared to handle a season Of large
consumption, even though oil wells
do not reach the flush production
of last year.
It was reported in the local
market that "a large sale of crude
had been made at $2.25 a barrel. the
top price for mid-continent crude,
1t Is believed California crude will
be advanced Is cents a barrel in
the future, particularly If production
does not increase the next few
weeks.
Demand for gasoline and bunker
oil featured petroleum markets this
week. Foreign buyers took a good
volume of the latter, at prices Of
from $1.74 to $1.85 barrel in bulk,
I. o. b., New York harbor refinery.
Diezel Oil is quoted at $2.75, re.
finery.
Buyers of lubricating oils are
more keenly interested, and refiners
reported better business. Stocks on
hand are not large, and, with the
coming heavy consuming season
distributors see no prospect Of price
declines. Pennsylvania 600 s. r. in
barrels. is offered at 81 to "a cents
gallon.
Trading in animal and vegetable
oils is unchanged. Linseed, turpen-
tine and paint materials showed a
little activity, sales being handi.
capped by high prices prevailing.

BRANCH B A n k
BILL NOW
READY
Rouse Banking Committee
Reaches Agreement on
McFadden Measure.
By HARRY GUSACK.

National banks in larger cities
may have an unlimited number of
branches, il the branches are To-
Gated within the municipal limits of
the city or town In which the par
emit bank is located, according to a
final agreement on the McFadden
National Bank bill, reached yester-
DAY by the House Committee on
Banking and Currency.
provisions dealing with branch
banks were amended so as to pro-
vide that national banks located in
cities and towns having a popula-
ton OF between $4,000 and $4,000
may have one branch; those in
cities witha population of from 5O,-
600 to 100000 may have two
branches and that those in larger
cities may have an unlimited num-
Der, conditioned upon the branches
being located within the municipal
limits Of the city or town in which
the parent bank is located.
The committee authorized Mr..
sMcFadden to introduce a new bill
today embodying all Of the changes
agreed upon, and to apply to the
RULES Committee for special rule
1or the early consideration of the
btn by the House.
Plan Early Action.
Mr. McFadden states he has the
assurance of the Rules COMMITTEES
ana the majority leader of the
Rouse that such rule will be
given, together with their coopera.
ton, for early action on the bill
on the floor Of the House.
while the bill contains MANY
important amendments to the Ma
tlonaI Banking laws, the chief
center OF interest is perhaps in the
section relating to branch banking -
said Mr.. McFadden. 1.-THE bill as
reported prohibits branch banking
outside Of city limits by National
and State member banks Of the
Federal Reserve System. Under
the terms of the bill no State bank
can hereafter convert into or con-
solidate with q national bank and
retain in operation any branches
which 1t may have outside Of city
limits. No State bank can be-
come a member of the Federal Re.
serve System without goving UP as
g. condition precedent to member
ship any branches which it may
have in operation outside Of city
limits.
Restrictions on Branches.
Branches of national banks can
only be established with the an.
proval Of the Comptroller Of the Cur.
rency and by State member banks
only with the approval Of the Fed.
:. eral Reserve Board The bill does
not affect existing branches of Stale
member or national banks in cities
or outside of cities which they may
nave in operation at the present
'Other features of the bill of spc
cial interest are the increase of the
loan limits upon improved city prop.
erty made by national banks from
one year to five years; broadening
the powers Of national banks to en-.
gage in the bond and investment
business; permitting national banks
to have indeterminate charters, SO
that they may be able to handle with
more assurance long time trusts

the loaning power of national banks
to any one customer, and increasing
the power of the Federal Reserve
