dullness in the trade was reflected
in another drop in circulation.
The monthly bulletin issued by
the New York Federal Reserve bank
emphasized the important effect that
the paying Off OF Indebtedness by
member banks has had on open
market rates. When the member
banks extinguished their borrowings
at the Reserve bank in June. the
price Of money fell rapidly. Gold inn
ports then became the basis for in
creased reserves and credit re-
sources instead OF going to pay Off
debts at tho central bank. Gold

so rapid rate, and commercial de-
mands for credit have not expanded
sufflcientlyQ to alter the situation.
Much attention was paid in fin
ancial and business quarters to the
second quarter earning statement of
the United States Steel Corporation.
Earnings of Sal, 100000, or $3.44 q
share on common stock, were better
than generally had been expected. It
was pointed out, however. that the
steel corporations order book was
in much better condition than those
of the Independent manufacturers
and this allowed the corporation to
maintain a fairly high rate OF oper-
atoms during the second quarter
despite the sharp falling off In new
buying. AS operations during July

Money Continues Easy

New York, Aug. BY A. Pr
Continued ease in money again con-
tributed to firmness in the chief fin
ancial and commodity markets dur
ing the past week. The per cent
rate for call money still ruled on the
New York stock exchange but there
was a further slight easing in the
market for bankers acceptanees.
The Federal Reserve bank state
ments indicated that no change had
come into the nioneyark and bank
ing situation. Earning assets
showed a sizeable increase but this
was due primarily to heavy open
market purchases of short term gov
eminent paper. An increase In dis
counts was too small to be of any
particular Significance. Summer

ty under William Studdert, of the fisheries service and the matter has been placed before the federal au- thorities for formal action, it be- ing understood that a warrant has been issued for the arrest of at least one offender.
 In addition to charging violation of the fishing regulations, com plaints also have been filed in which wanton waste of fish is charged. It is stated that the shore of the inlet for considerable distance is strewn thickly with dead fish, and steps are to be taken to punish those res ponsible for the waste.
 News of the seizure was brought to Anchorage yesterday by MT. Studdert. The traps were full of fish when taken over by the govern ment and men were left there to make disposition of the catch in such manner that none would be wasted. The traps and all equipment used in connection with their operation will be held by the government pending the disposition of the cases. Anchorage Times, Aug. ', 1924.

COOLIDGE TAKES STAND ON COLOR:
 DEFENDS NEGRO

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14.- Replying to letter of protest against the candidacy of a negro who is seeking election to Congress from New York state, President Coolidge expressed amazement at the suggestion that he take steps to discourage the invasion of the na- tional lawmaking body by the col ored race.
 The president reaffirmed his in tention of administering legislation which, he pointed out, guarantees equal rights to "all our citizens without discrimination on account of race or color." The letter written at the White House to Charles Gard ner, of Fort Hamilton, N. Y., has been made public in order that all may know where the President stands on questions of that charac- ter.
 MT. Hoover says: "1t is natural enough for people who find they must make some sacrifice for the public good to use every measure and device to defeat this attempt at real conservation on behalf of the American people," When we learn ed of the Sutherland amendment and saw the concerted efforts of the Fish Trust and their allies fight Dan with his back to the wall we agreed with Hoover. They wasted

THE ADVISORY BOARD
 AND HENRY O'MALLEY

The advisory board appointed by the Governor to help MT. Hoover regulate our fisheries consist of the Territorial Fish Commission, that is, MT. J. R. Hickman, Calvin Hazlet, H. B. Ellsworth and also three addi tional members, Senator A. J. Di- mond, representing the territory at large, Carl Sutter to represent the cannerymen, and Sam Butts to re- present the fishermen.
 Sam Butts is now in the lime light. He is fisherman of long experience and should be we'll informed. We believe he will try to do what is right and that he will represent the fishermen truly, but we will say that Sam will be awfully lonely in that bunch. He will be the one man in that group that really knows fish; it remains to be seen whether he will make any impression on that big bunch of handpicked "advisors."
 The term advisory board" is but to fool the Alaskan people into think ing that they are helping MT. Hoov- CT to jun tour fisheries. Kidding" would be the proper word. Just to find out how far their word would go, asked Henry O'Malley the oth- CT day if he really would follow their recommendations. He said 'That depends on what they ad- vise." l then put the question di- rect. Suppose the advisory board should state that the closed season method of saving our fish was great mistake, that it did not save fish, that it hurt the canners and fishermen needlessly and recommend ed that the order be rescinded. Would your department issue the order"
 Henry O'Malley made this answer, "No, sir, 1 would not. Furthermore would fight it, and I think I have at least as much influence with MT. Hoover as the Advisory Board would have"
 In other words, the Advisory board will work very we'll so long as they adopt the plans of MT. Henry O'Malley. That astute poli- tical fish commissioner might even arrange it so that on occasion it will appear that the Board made the ori- ginal recommendation. "Kidding."
