New Currency Plans Announced.
The governors of the Federal Reserve
Board at their last conference an
nounced plans for the issuance of the
new small size currency, subject to
modification. July, 1929 has been fixed
rs the time for the initial issue. All
kinds of currency except national bank
notes and all denominations from 81
to $50 will be included in the initial
issue and it is probable that the higher
denominations will be issued at the
same time.
Issues of old size United States cur
rency by Treasury Department will
cease about April 80, 1929, and there
after for two months currency demand
will be met by Federal Reserve banks
from their stock of new or circulated
old size currency.
Treasury will require redemption of all
outstanding old size currency as rapidly
as IT reaches Reserve banks.
Advance orders for currency cannot
be accepted, it is announced. National
hank currency will not be included in
initial distribution. The matter of
changing national bank currency should
be submitted to Congress at its next
session, Secretary Mellon has decided
Life Insurance Trusts Mounting.
A Nationwide survey of the actual
amount of life insurance covered by
life insurance trusts: recently COM
pIeted by the American Bankers Asso-
citation. indicates that at the present
rate Of development the aggregate
may reach the billion mark before the
close of this year. The returns from
approximately 400 reporting banks and
trust companies show that thus far a
total of $750,000.000 in life insurance
is covered by trust agreements.
The figures are significant because
life insurance trust service Is a rela-
lively recent development and within
the past six or seven years has grown
with increasing velocity. The amount
of insurance trusteed during 1927 was
1915. 1855 600, representing gain of
856ee over the total for 1923.
The total amount of insurance
trusteed for the five-year period from
1923 to 1927 is S54l ,337 ,938. The size
Of he average life insurance trust is
S53, 800.
Credit Versus Imports of Gold.
Continued importation of gold from
abroad over the past few weeks Is not
likely to affect greatly the credit situ-
alton in this country unless it assumes
larger proportions than at present.
With a very heavy Indebtedness OF
banks to the Federal Reserve system
such gold as does come into this
country is almost certain to be useo
at once by memebr banks to pay OF
as much as possible of this indebt-
edneSs.
Federal Reserve authorities report
many banks are anxious to reduce theil
heavy borrowings.

There have been many diSappotnt-
mentS in production and market prices,
and the taxes on farms have apparently
continued to increase" the report states
The tax assessment is quite drag on
the farmer. The bank has made more
foreclosures, but has been more success
full in the selling of farms 1t owns. It
appears the number of foreclosures may
decrease and the number of sales ma
terially increase.
The farmers as whole are believing
that some special legislation may be
enacted soon by Congress that will
stimulate the price at which they must
sell their products, and they believe
that the price of land and farming
conditions cannot get worse; therefore,
they must grow better"

"a the Zodiac. 1t is divided into twelve

two thousand years ago.
But even here where calculations seemed

Zodiac is actually found in the eOnstella"
