REDISC0UNT RATE
LEFT UNCHANGED
New York Bank Not to Act for
Month at Least-Heavy
New Financing.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 2i.-Eo
action to lower the rediscoun rate
of the Federal Preserve Bank Of New
York will be considered for at least
a month, it was indicated after
meeting of the directors yesterday.
A majority of the city's large banks
are said to oppose any reduction from
the Az per cent rate on the ground
that the money supply is ample and
that industries have no difficulty in
borrowing funds on present terms.
The volume of new financing to-
day was the largest since the offer
ing of the S150,00O.000 Japanese loan
last week. In addition to the s1O.-
sold privately, the offerings included
s5,750,000 Peoples Gas Light and
Coke threo-year 6 per cent notes at
par, 100000 Biltmore- Commodore Z
per cent sinking fund bonds and 81
S16, 900 Nickel Plate ) per cent equip
ment trust certificates
Gross earnings of the Cities Service
Company for the year ended January
II. 1928, totaled $l6.605.i9S, as COM
pared with $14.S10.9S9 in the pre-
ceding fiscal period. Net income
amounted to sS,o36, f61, equivalent to
S1S.42 share earned on the common
stock. In the preceding year the net
earnings of s7,032,612 were equivalent
to slS.2S a share on the common. 3.

DENIES RAILROAD
STOCKS WA7ERED
Banker Also Declares Wall
Street Does Not Own
Corporations.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associate ted Press
KANSAS CITY, February 21.-Po-
litically minded men have misled the
public with three prime fallacies. +.
\. Shepherd of New York, executive
manager of the American Bankers
Association, declared here last night
in addressing the forum of the asso-
citation. These fallacies. he said. are:
Il. That Wall street owns the cor
porations.
y. That the Federal Reserve Bank
syster, Disseminated against agri-
culture and Debated the farmers: and
%. That there are $1,000, 1000, 900 of
water in the railroads, and that rates
should be reduced accordingly
Taking up the first proposition, Mr..
Shepherd quoted figures to show that
securities Of American corporations
are widely distributed.
But the real capitalists of Amer
Tea, the speaker said, ARE the bond
| holders, represented by 30,000,000 saw
, ings accounts, and the owners of over
I,o00,0Ol life and Industrial insur-
ance policies"
Says Reserve Saved Farmer.
Mr.. Shepherd declared that the fed
era1 reserve system instead of having
disseminated against the farmer had
been his savior
During the period of greatest de-
cline in the value of agricultural
products re1iscounts with
the federal reserve banks in non
agricultural districts actually de-
creased by % per cent, but in agricul
tural districts, where we have heard
the reiterated charge of adverse dis
elimination. rediscounts were actual
~ increased by Sc per cent he con-
tinued.
The sooner we understand it the
better-instead of suffering from too
little credit. the real difficulty from
which we are now slowly emerging
was too much credit unwisely used"
Denies stock Is Watered.
Taking up railroad valuations and
rates. Mr.. Shepherd related how the
bureau of valuation of the Interstate
Commerce Commission had placed the
physical valuation of railroad prop
critics at s1S,900, 5000, 0G0. The figure.
he explained. was based upon Il unit
established in Jali.
'Railroad stock today is not wa
tered. Any possible fair scheme of
valuation proves that our railroads
are worth one to two billion dollars
more than their Capitalization"

TOBACCO FOURTH CROP.
Maryland Had $4.1s2. 900 Yield
During 1923.

BALTIMORE. Md, February 2l.-
Marylands tobacco crop took fourth
rank as money crop in 1923.
The total farm value was appraised
at S4,1S2,000. Production was 1905
600 pounds, against 20. 900 in 1922
The average yield pei. acre was 1872
pounds. Quality was IS per cent of
Il high medium grade, as compared
with IS the preceding year. The per
acre return tgross) was $174.2+the
highest of the staple crops
Planting was in general late,
Twenty-four thousand acres were set
out. In 1922. $4,000 acres were plant
ed. Retrenchment in 1923 was I'M
perative in not few localities by
reason of the shortage of plants
The consensus of opinion among the
growers appears to be that the yields
of 1923 averaged better than for
number of years. On the WHOLE.
yields were twenty-five pounds above
