RUKEYSER Sees
BANK LOANS
INCREASE
BY MERRYLE 8. RUKEYsER

~ AAAAAA&AWAAAAN W. A8SANA1
Copyright, 1899, Universal servioe)
Brokers In recent months
have gone to an increasing extent
to established banking channels
for additional loans instead OF to
outlaw, bootleg lenders.
That little emphasized change in
the source Of additional financial
fuel for feeding the flames Of
speculation is highly significant.
For example, 1t tends to make the
Federal Reserve authorities more
sensitive to brokers' loan in.
creases, and threatens to give
the market q more inflationary
character.
The funds which came from
bootleg lenders were presumably
capital, or savings, at least to a
considerable extent, whereas that
which comes from the banks is
very. largely manufactured credit,
with which the Federal Reserve
authorities are directly concerned.
Demand Increases
In the recovery of stock prices
since late in May. the demand
for brokers' loans increased rap
idly until the Federal Reserve
Bank Of New York raised its re-
discount rate from to per
cent less than fortnight ago.
The rate increase was intended
as a psychological gesture to
discourage the absorption for,
stock market purposes of addi-
tional Federal Reserve credit,
which the system is prepared to
put out in the period Immediately
ahead during the peak period OF
agricultural and commercial re
Quirements.
As long as loans from boot
leg. nonbanking sources were
supplying the bulk OF additional
stock market funds. the banking
authorities were hard put to con-
troll the situation. The shift in
the source of funds should more
or less tend to heighten the dis
ciplinary powers OF the Federal
Reserve SYSTEM. though 1t should
be recognized that the Reserve
authorities would prefer to delay
new battles with the ,hulis until
after the seasonal commercial
and agricultural peaks have been
passed.
Circumstances may necessitate
speedier action, but convenience
would point to major disciplinary
action. after the turn Of the year,
rather than before.
Percentage Shifts
In the period between May 81
and August ! only 27.3 per cent
OF the additional funds needed to
finance the stock market recov-
4 cry came from nonbanking boot
{ leg sources, whereas between
August l, 1929, and August /, 1898,
81 per cent of the additional
funds used In brokers' loans
came from nonbanking sources.
And between August /, 1928, and
7 August /, 1929, the increase in
loans from nonbanking sources
was greater than the total in.
creases In brokers' loans from
all sources. Until the last three
months or so, the chief BURDEN
for financing increased stock
market operations was. falling on
nonbanking lenders, who COM
prised corporations with surplus
funds, investment trusts, trus
tees. wealthy individuals and for
eign agencies.
But since May. these outsiders
have financed q lesser percent
age OF the expansion, and a
greater burden has fallen on the
banks. ...,t.s

SMITH ELECTED TO
 BANK DIRECTORSHIP
Is on Board Of County Trust Conl- pany in New York but
 ChaiInlanship Undecided.

New York, Jan. IS R-Alfred E. Smith has been elected a director of the County Trust company of New York, but whether he will be made chairman of the board remains un- certain.
 James J. Riordan, president of the trust company and personal friend of the former governor. said the matter of the chairmanship had not been determined and would not be until after the return of Mir Smith from a planned vacation in the south
 Should Mir. Smith be offered and accept the chairmanship he would have to devote the greater part of his time to the affairs of the trust company, while a mere membership on the board would leave him free to undertake some other commer- cial venture as his main effort. The County Trust company open cd for business on February o3, 1926, with a capital of S1.0O0, 900 and a surplus of $5OO,0OO. MT. Smith, then governor. was its first depositor. The banks total assets on Wednesday were reported as s29,579, ,1SS.54 and the capital, sur plus and undivided profits on the same day amounted to $c.133,175.l1.
 Directors of the company include William F. Kenny, John ]. Raskob and J. Meehan. all close personal friends of MT. Smith. The loans to cover the $1,5O0,00O deficit of the democratic party resulting from it's unsuccessful attempt to elect Mr. Smith president were arranged through the County Trust company. The bank. however. holds only $200,000 of notes.
 Mir. Smith will leave Sunday with Mrs. Smith, MT. and Mrs. William F. Kenny and Mir. and Mrs. John J. Raskob for month or six weeks visit to Sarasota, Miami and Palm Beach, Florida.
