increased use of credit by the security
markets.
The decline in commercial loans,"
the board said. reflects the some
what 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.
veiopnrcnls have been characterized
by continued growtf. "a the out
standing volume of bank credit. Com
mercial loans have been declining
slightly since the middle of October,
when they reached their seasonal
peak. but loans on securities and I'm
vestments have continued to increase.
THE total volume of loans and in
vsstments Of member banks in leading
cities reached $2I 800, ,000, 900 in No
vember and was larger than in any
previous month. Since November of
last year this amount has increased
by IA per cent compared with an in
crease OF about 3D. per cent in the year
ending in November, 1926, and 5.5 per
cent a year earlier.
Member Bank Credit Larger.

year ending November, 1924, when 1t
was 1874 per cent.
s'The rapid growth of member bank
credit this year has not been due TO
an increase in so-called all other
loans,' which comprise loans for COM
mercial. agricultural and Industrial
purposes as well as real estate loans.
That loans extended to trade and in
dtistry had actually declined during
the year is indicated by figures Of
loans and investments for an member
banks, which have recently become
available for June 80, 1926, and 1927.
During the fiscal year ending June
30, 1927. member banks of the Fed
eral Reserve System showed a large
increase in investments and in loans
on securities and an increase of $27S,-
600. 900 in real estate loans.
That the increase in loans on Sc
curities has reflected largely the in.
creased use of credit by the security
markets is indicated by the fact that

Maine Lakes.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston transcript
Maine lakes have certain common
aracteristics-deeply wooded banks.
hilly surroundings, clear water. reedy
coves-so that you could say OF such
bodies of water anywhere that they
are like Maine lake." But there
are great differences between the in
dividual lakes. Big Sabago, shaped
exactly like a fat turnip, has COM
paratively low shores; it is broad,
fine piece of water, and that is about
all one can say of it. But only few
miles away lies Long Lake, 10 miles
long. scarcely q mile wide at any
point, almost as straight as a ramrod.
with the hills looking down on it. All
through the game region there are
many of these same longitudinal lakes,
occupying what seems once to have
been riffs or cracks in the landscape
and generally in connected chains.
Every one of them has its especial
beauty. There are reedy. lonely ponds
where the loon laughs and lunges.
and there are lakes like Bear Pond,
in Turner and Hartford, which is
wholly surrounded with sandy beaches.
and where the children wade and
splash in sparkling water for long
distance without danger and are
always within reach of their ice
cream cones. And everywhere noble
chains of lakes. like the great and
famous ones in the north, or like the
Belgrade and Winthrop Lakes. and
the chain that comes down from Til.
ton Pond through David, Parker,
Crotched, Lovejoy. Pocasset and And.
roscoggin lakes. which last discharges
through Deer River into the Andros-
coggin River. From each of these
lakes there is drop of Is to 19 feet
creating a water power which is in
nearly every instance availed Of for
some light manufacturing purpose.

Consideration of
McNary-Haugen Bill
Postponed to Jan. IL

Washington, Jan. 6.--(AP)-
Immediate consideration Of the
McNary-Haugen bill to exclusion
Ut all other farm relief measures
was blocked today in the house ag-
ricultural committee.
After a heated discussion the
committee decided to postpone con-
sideration until Tuesday, January
II, and in the meantime take up
the Aswell relief bill which does
not include the equalization fee
principle.
Representative Adkins, Republi-
can. Illinois, led the fight for the
McNary- Haugen bill, declaring
that its provision for an equaliza-
ton fee on basic crops, to be used
in handling the surplus, was the
only important farm question be-
fore congress.
Several other members, however,
held that the committee should
permit all those who have worked
on farm relief to present their
views.
Adkins contended that to delay
consideration would be signal to
the country that farm relief had
no chance in this session. With
the assurance, however, that the
McNary- Haugen bill would be
considered next Tuesday, he ac-
coded to the desire for general
discussion during the balance Of
the week.

Chrysler Is Named
British Ideal Car

The tremendous popularity of
Chrysler cars in the British Isles is
indicated in the replies to recent
columnar questionable conducted by
motor" an English automobile mag
azine, for the ideal car to meet tho
definite driving conditions in Great
Britain imposed by this magazine.
A very high percentage of the re-
plies single out the Chrysler "7O"
because its performance, as quoted
by one writer. combined:
"A speed range of to 20 miles an
hour, easy gear change, quiet opera
ton, minimum up-keep expense, hill
climbing ability yet economy of
operation, beauty Of appearance, good
braking facilities. and substantial
comfort"
The concurrence of opinion Of the
majority of readers that an American
made car best suited English require
ments is Of striking significance:
Especially is this unusual in view of
the very determined stand taken by
British manufacturers and their sup
porters to popularixe British-made
cars ahead Of all foreign makes. Eng
lish literature carries stamps re-
questing Britons to "Buy British
Goods" while newspapers and other
means are utilized in this determined
effort to stop the inroads of Ameri.

Force of 400 Marines to
Augment Present Force

Washington, Jan. 6.--GP)-Six add
ditional naval vessels have been or
dered to Nicaragua. carrying an ex-
Probationary force of 400 marines.
The ships are the cruisers Gin
cinnati and Narblehead, the de-
stroyers Barker. Smith Thompson and
Osborne, and the submarine tender
Argonne.
They will report to Rear Admiral
Latimer. in command Of the Ameri-
can forces in Nicaraguar waters. for
such disposition as conditions war
rant. Two other dcstroyers left Nor
folk yesterday. and, although they
were to replace two other ships of
their type, thcy doubtless will be
used temporarily to increase the to-
tai American naval strength avail
able to Admiral Latimcr.
To Protect Americans
The navy departing said the pur-
pose Of the despatch Of additional
troops and ships was to enable Ad-
miral Latimer to Thoroughly pro-
tect American lives and property
in the war torn central American
country.
A force Of six officers and 160
blue jackets and marines from the
cruiser Galveston were to arrive at
Managua, the capital, at noon today
to act as a legation guard.
The now contingent of marines will
be taken from Guantanamo. de-
tachment of marines aboard the Ar
gonne will replace the men from the
Galveston at Managua and the latter
will return to their ship.
The mine sweeper Quail has been
sent to Corinto from the canal zone
for temporary duty, and will remain
attached to Rear Admiral Latimcr' S
squadron.
The Explanation
The only explanation Of the sudden
move obtainable in official quarters
was that the men taken from the
Galveston to guard the Managua
legation could not be spared in
definitely from their ship and that
the new marine contingent was
needed to relieve them.
With the arrival of the ships or
dercd south today, the squadron un.
der Admiral Latimer will consist OF
six cruisers, seven destroyers, one
mine sweeper and the Argonne, which
is available as transport. The total
complement of men will be approx.
mately 1890, including 535 marines
Under regular schedule, the
scouting fleet is to sail Saturday fol
Guantanamo Bay, placing in south
ern wa .ers al. additional naval force
of three battlcships, six cruisers, 3!

There are about 1O,28O men in thu
