WORLD OF FINANCE MORE ACTIVE
in SECURITIES THAN COMMERCE

WASHINGTON Dec. 81 [P) = The
American world of finance was more
active during the last year in trans
acU ION of securities than in CONNER
cial business, the federal reserve board
reported today in review of 1927,
covering operation of the federal re-
serve system.
While commercial credit decreased
by $3.50, 100000, looms on securities in
creased by $780, 100000 reflecting the
increased use of credit by the security
markets.
"This decline in commercial loans, y
the board said, reflects the somewhat
smaller volume of production and trade
in 1927 compared with 1926 and the
lower level of prices at which business
has been transacted.
During recent weeks banking de-
yelopmentS have been characterized by
a continued growth in the outstanding
volume of bank credit. Commercial
loans have been declining slightly since
the middle of October, when they
reached their seasonal peak, but loans
on securities and investments have
| continued to increase.
"The total volume of loans and in
I,vestments of member banks in leading
cities reached $21,500,000,0OO in No
ven1ber and was larger than in any
previous month Since November OF
last year this amount has increased by
| IA per cent compared with an increase
of about % per cent in the year end
ing in November, 1926, and 5.5 per cent
year earlier.
"Thus the growth in the volume Of
member bank credit in leading cities
has been larger during the past veal
than in either of the two preceding
| years, though not as large as in the
! year ending November, 1924, when il
was 1874 per cent.
''The rapid growth of member bank
credit this year has not been due tc

loans which comprise loans for com
mercial, agricultural, and industria
purposes as well as real estate loans
That loans extended to trade and in

dustry had actually decided during the
year is indicated by figures Of loans
and investments for all member banks,
which have recently become available
for June 30, 1925 and 1927.
During the fiscal year ending June
30. 1927, member banks of the federal
reserve system showed a large increase
in inves stments and in loans on Securit-
les and an increase of $276,000,OOO in
real estate loans.
"That the increase in loans on Sc
curities was reflected largely the in
creased use of credit by the security
markets is indicated by the fact that
loans to brokers and dealers in Sc
curities placed by the weekly reporting
member banks in New York City in
creased by 1926, 100000 during the year
ending in November.
Another part of the open/ market
which has reflected, the growth OF
available short time finds in New York
has been the acceptance market. Ac-
cording to the latest figures collected
by the acceptance council, the total
volume of outstanding acceptances in
November of this year is about $1,000
UUU,UUU, a larger e11Su1G G41dl1 dG Oily
previous time The large volume OF
acceptances outstanding in this coun-
try has been the result in part of lower
rates on bankers bills in the New York
market, compared with the London
market, and the consequent increased
proportion of this countrys exports
which was financed by dollar accept
ances rather than by sterling accept
anceS.
"The abundance of funds available
for investment in private enterprises
which has characterized the past veal
has been dueS chiefly to the large vol
ume of national savings, but has beer
augmented by the retirement OF the

During the past three months thu
movement of gold has been reversed
and partly through exports and partly
through ear-marking for foreign ac-
counts, there has been considerable
decrease in the country's monetary
gold. This loss of gold and the in
creased reserve requirements of mem
ber banks have been the principle in
fluence causing the increased demand
for reserve bank credit The country;
stock of monetary gold decreased by
over $130,OO0,0O0 during the last three
months and on the first of December

year. Subsequently, the fact became
apparent that surplus offerings in the
speculative pit here had been absorbed
by standing orders of commission
houses, and that early sellers were at
a disadvantage when attempting
switch to the opposite side of the mar
ket
Late upturns in CORN were helped
along by announcement that export
bids for corn at the Gulf of Mexico
had risen to basis of &c bushel over
Chicago May and that Argentina had
only 100000 to 24,OO0,O0O bushels left

of cash demand for domestic corn be-
came noticeable with southwestern

tory. Meanwhile Atlantic ports as well
as the Gulf of Mexico advised of

to attract corn from Kansas City and
from Omaha. More inquiry here from

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 (H9 - Highly
erratic price movements took place in
today's stock market as a result OF the
bitter struggle for control between op-
posing speculative forces. A strong
opening was followed around midday
by a general sinking spell, with an
irregular recovery taking place during
the afternoon For the fifth conSecu-
tive day, the average of 20 leading in
dustrial issues closed at new high
record for all time, but the rails lost
ground. Total sales crossed the 81
100000 share mark for the third time
this month.
Marking up of the call money rate
from to AZ per cent coincident with
the calling of about $25,0O0,OOO in
loans, inspired series of bear raids
which resulted in a number OF sub
stantial recessions, particularly among
some volatile specialtieS. The stiffen-
ing in the rate was generally believed
to be due to the seasonal withdrawal
of currency in preparation for the
holidays and not to any general change
in credit conditions, as the rates on
other monetary accommodations were
unchanged. There is. a belief in some
quarters that an increase in federal
reserve rediscount rates is likely early
next year, especially if the gold export
movement is maintained in heavy vol
ume.
Operators working for higher prices
took encouragement from the sharp
pick up in steel operations and the
unusually heavy decrease in crude Oil
production last week. Prompt over
subscription of tremendous volume
of new stock and bond offerings, in
dicating a strong underlying invest
ment demand, also was regarded as a
favorable factor. Some disappoint-
ment was caused by the sharp fall in
freight car traffic and this probably
explained the sluggishness of many OF
{ the railroad shares.

American exports to Asia for April

The decline is attributed in part to

This would cut the mileage practically
