They bought all the gold in the banks of New York, amount Ing to $15,OO0,OOO. Gold sold at 1892 and was still rising. Men became Insane In the midst of the panic 1t was reported that the United States had thrown $4,O00,O00 on the market. Gold fell. the excitement ceased but Gould and Fisk won $11 100000 profits.

BRIBERY TR|AL|HOPE FOR LOST
IN Va. STAYED Filler WAVES

NEW YORK, Oct. 25 uN.sD.-
Hardly a ray of hope remained to-
day for the safety of Urban F.
Diteman, Billings Mont) cattleman
who left Harbor Grace, Newfound-
land, Tuesday on a solo flight to
London and hasn't been heard from
since.
Reports of radio messages telling
of the finding of wreckage in mid
ocean thought to have been parts
of the tiny, black and orange mono
plane Golden Hind proved unau-
thentic and revived hope for Dite-
man died out with denials of the
reports.
There are some who still feel that
Diteman may have landed on some
isolated spot or might have been
picked up by ship unequipped
with radio apparatus, but even
these admit the chances that he is
safe are slim.

RESERVE BOARDI
To STABILIZE !
MARKETS
sstHHAHhAS

Federal Reserve measures to sta
bilize the stock market were outlined
at two lively sessions of the Reserve
Board yesterday, the first while the
days crash was at its height and
the other after the close of the rec
ord days trading.
Reserve authorities moved to re.
1ieve the situation by a further cas-
ing Of credit, reducing the New York
buying rate on bankers acceptances
from SIS per cent to per cent. This
action, initiated by the New York
Reserve Bank, was approved by the
board and announced here by Gov
ernor Roy A. Young.
1t was understood, though not
announced, that this will be fol-
lowed up by increased buying of
acceptances and probably by buy
ing of Government securities as
well. Both measures would in
crease the supply of credit.
Officials here feel such steps will
help to keep business on an even
keel while the market is stormy
and at the same time help to stabil-
lie the market, even though the
market has suffered lately from no
scarcity or dearness Of credit.
Belief was expressed that any ad-
dition to the supply of credit that
may follow will have more prac-
teal effect than a reduction of
the New York rediscount rate at
time when there is little redis-
counting. The board made ready
to have the Reserve system meet
any credit situation that may arise,
it was learned in Reserve quar-
ters. So we'll has the markets
financial machinery withstood the
strain Of price gyrations, however,
that the board found no need to
extend help.
Not a single brokerage house or
financial institution has been re-
ported in difficulties. according to
well-informed Reserve quarters, and
none Of the New York banks found
it necessary to turn to the Reserve
Bank today for funds. That bank,
and the Reserve system generally
are in an excellent position to
extend help If it were needed.
Secretary Mellon attended the
boards second meeting. He would
make no statement as to the mat
ters disclosed. Other board mem
bers referred all inquiries to Gov
ernor Young, who limited his an
nouncement to the bill rate change
Other members of the board
referred all inquiries to Governor
Young. None, however, showed any
signs of alarm, the disposition being
to regard the market crash as an
internal readjustment without the
slightest basis in either the finan-
cial or the business situation.
Apparently the board had planned
to issue public statement regard
ing the days developments, but de.
cided against this.
Weekly reports revealing an ex-
ceptionally strong Federal Reserve
position were before the board at
its second meeting. These showed
a $167,000,000 reduction in brokers'
loans in the last week. an $4,000, 900
reduction in borrowings by New
York member banks from the Fed
eral Reserve, and a cut in the
Chicago member banks borrowings
to a bare 100000. Last week
the Chicago banks owed $4,000. 900.
The Reserve ratio for all II
banks jumped from 1871 per cent
to 74.5 per cent, and the total
of Federal Reserve credit in use
was reduced $4,000 900.
