Then one night something was brought up

thing about his belief not knowing he was
OF this religion. I heard from a friend
afterward, that he cared for me but I
hurt him so badly when 1 said what I did
1 really was sorry after / said it, and
wrote him, asking him to forgive me. He

It is very easy to hurt people by

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
CONSULT YOUR BANKER"
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

What justification Is there for the
phrase, Before investing consult your
banker? You, yourself, are probably
familiar with your bank and have a
hazy idea Of what 1t does, but have
you ever visualized the entire bank
ing system of this country?
There are 29,465 banks, of which
1880 are State banks, according to
the National Association of Super
visors of State Banks. Five years
ago there were a few less. or 2s.S13.
At that time 1885 were national
banks. In other words, the increase
for the country in five years In num-
bers Is relatively negligible. How
ever, when 1t comes to comparison
of resources over the period from
June, 1919, to March, 1924, there is a
different story. Total resources have
increased about 10 per cent and now
stand at figure which few of US can
even dream of, about 55.7 billion dol
lars. Even the ass billion dollars in
June, 1919, was a pretty big figure.
Deposits have shown SIMILAR In
crease and our banks now have to
lend or invest some 46 billion dollars
in deposits. That is quite job.
About 20 billion Is in loans and dis
counts and another 10 billion in Sc
curities Since the bankers--or at
least the owners of bank stocks
have some 81 billions Of their own
money invested. they are mighty
careful how they place that enor-
NOUS fund, because II there are any
losses the stockholders stand for
them. not the depositors.
Since the bankers must OF neces-
sity lend or invest efficiently and
safely many billions in order to safe
guard their own money, it Is evident
that tbey in the aggregate, invest
in, or lend to, every type Of business.
Undoubtedly more billions would be
added IL the private investment
bankers were included in the tabula-
ton. There are many kinds of bank
ers and they specialize on different
phases of banking: some are CONNER
cial bankers and some are invest
ment bankers, but who in all the
world is better fitted to advise you
on investment matters than your
banker?

CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO, December 27-New high
price records for 1924 were reached
today by all deliveries of wheat, corn
oats and rye. Offerings here, espe-
cially of wheat, were soon absorbed
despite the fact that European mar
kets appeared unresponsive to ad-
vances yesterday on this side of the
Atlantic. The new buying, which was
only of fair volume in the wheat pit,
seemed to be based altogether on
previously known conditions as to
chances of future shortage in sup
plies. Wheat opening prices. which
ranged from rs cent decline to 4 cent
advance, with May, 1.s0A to ISL, and
July, 1884 to 1.54E, were followed
by a moderate general setback and
then by rise all around to about
1 cent above yesterdays finish.
Corn, oats and rye moved up ~ a
result of sympathy with wheat There
was no unusual amount vf buying.
After opening unchanged to IA off,
May, 1914 to 1919, corn sagged
somewhat, and then scored gains
which averaged l cent.
Oats started unchanged to q higher,
May, 65 g to 65&. Later, the advance
became general and more pronounced.
Provisions went higher with grain.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 27.-The
year is ending in Wall Street with
more optimistic feeling than at any
similar season since 1919. Then the
financial and mercantile markets were
getting ready for the great boom of
1919 and were extraordinarily buoy
ant. At the close of December, 1919,
the first big check had occurred. At
the close of December, 1920, panic was
in the air, and at the close of Decem-
Der, 1921, while there had been some
faint signs of Improvement, the feel
ing was still very much depressed.
Then, in the succeeding years, includ-
ing last year. the final 10 days were a
period Of uncertain fluctuations, with
selling to establish losses for tax pur-
poses an unsettling factor.
No Danger of OyerinhAtfon.
Thus the present market more close
iy resembles that Of the early days
following the war than any which has
occurred since. However, there is no
good reason to look forward to
repetition of what happened in the
highly fnf1ationary era of five years
ago. To begin with, business men
learned their lesson at that time, and
would not be likely to load up again
with raw materials and goods in a
runaway market. Secondly, banking
authorities, confronted with a specu-
lation at the stage of extreme ex-
travagance, would be quite unlikely
to wait as long as they did in the
Summer and Autumn of 1919 before
applying the brakes.
The rise in the call money rate to
per cent at one time. with Az per
cent as the renewal on standing loans,
represents a substantial hardening in
the money market. 1t reflects the i'm
menSe increase in the Wall Street de-
mand for credit as the result of the
rise in prices since the first week in
November and the huge transactions
This. along with the evidence that the
banks have begun to take advantage
more freely of the rediscount privi-
leges at the Federal Reserve institu-
lions shows that the speculative move
ment on the stock exchange has begun
to tell upon money conditions. 1t has
not reached the stage where 1t involves
an actual strain. but as compared with
the long interval of superabundant
money supplies for the last year or
more. it does denote a good deal of
change.
Investment Market Slows Down.
The investment market continues to
appraise this change not only from
the viewpoint OF the enlarged Specu-
lative requirements. but with an eye
toward a livelier demand for money
in trade channels. The snap which
characterized the investment move
ment during the Summer and early
Autumn has been lost. There has been
no notable yielding of prices. but the
life has gone out of the market. This
Is because would-be buyers of the
higher-grade investment issues are
holding off on the idea that the drift

was disappointing, considering the

The heavy demand for Yellow Taxi

motor shares generally were strong.
Buying of radio stocks was quite
as pronounced as at any other time,
with special strength in Rova, Ware,
Hazeltine and Freed Eisemann. The
coppers continued to respond to the
Improvement in the market for the
copper metal.
The high prices attracted profit
taking in the final trading, and this
was heavy in view of the extent of
the rise.

of the interest rate is now upward.
even If very gradually so. The gold
exports to Germany and to India, of
no consequence in themselves, are
nevertheless contributing psychologist
cal influence along this line.
Grain Soars-Cotton Lays.
The principal incident of the week,
apart from the continued advance
in stocks, has been the renewal of
the rise in the grain markets. Both
wheat and corn have touched new
high prices for the year. the upturn
in the former being particularly vio-
lent. The point has been established
that the grain trade did not go
wrong in its estimate two and three
months ago of the falling off in
supplies from competitor countries,
and how this would finally work
upon the minds of European con-
sumers. In the meantime 1t is diff
cult to adequately gauge what the
rise of SO to 10 cents a bushel In
wheat prices since last March and
the scarcely less extensive advance
in other farm prices mean for the
buying power of the agricultural
communities.
The results have begun to show
in figures for the retail trade, but
not to any extent in railway gross
earnings. The November gross re-
turns have not been especially IA
