LOANS TO FARMERS
Commissioner Bester Tells

specIal pispateh to The star.

CHICAGO, December 11.-Pointing
out that the banks of the Federal farm
loan system are created not merely to
function under gooa conditions, but 70
operate and serve the needs of the
farmers of the Nation during the fu-
ture, under any and all conditions, ard
that the actual experience of banks
operating under proper management
has demonstrated the ability of these
institutions to supply long-term first
mortgage credit for farming, Paul
BeStor, commissioner, Federal Farm
Loan Board at Washington, said, while
addressing the annual convention Of
the American Farm Bureau Federation
here this morning, that 'In the Is years
since the system was established the
banks have closed 624,335 loans, for a
total amount of $2,481 ,0l5, ,285. OF this
amount the IL Federal Land Banks
loaned $1,595, ,342,76 and the Joint
Stock Land Banks closed $685., ,672 $50.
This system of financing fills a
definite place and need in our national
life. 1t provides the type of loan best
suited to the former where the long
term is needed for agricultural pur-
poses. It has demonstrated its sound
ness in principle and in practice. It has
provided an amortized loan which elm
mates the old problem of refinancing
It has decreased and stabilized interest
rates to an extent that even the trainers
could hardly have anticipated. 1t has
become the modern method of financing
a farm. 1t is the desire and the firm
purpose of the Federal Farm Loan
Board to see that the management Of
the banks and the supervision by 1t be
such as to insure the permanence of the
system for the future service of Amer
lean agriculture"

bond PRICES SAG
ON HIGHER MONEY
Profit Taking Also Affects the
Market-SaIes Volume
Small.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

| Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, December 11-Under
the influence of the flrmneSS in time
money rates and the necessity OF alb
sorbing quantity, of profit taking
| bond prices were lower again today,
but volume dropped off considerably
| below that of yesterday.
| With few exceptions, where some
special interest ran counter to the mar
| ket trend, domestic bonds were OH
| from fractions to over q point.
The center of activity shifted to the
foreign department, where a considera-
BILE amount of buying for foreign ac-
count tended to Offset local selling.
Shortly after the opening United
States Government issues resumed their
rally of late Tuesday, but before noon
they had dropped and showed a slight
loss on the day. This applied to the
high-grade list, where most of the rails,
industrials and public utility. issues had
fractional declines. Exceptions here
were youngstown Sheet & Tube and
DuQuesne Light 412S, both strong. Ine
early dullneSS was to some extent due
to unwillingness of dealers to make
new commitments until prices on the
New York City new issue were an
nounced.
The activity of the speculative list was
at temporary halt, with the fractions,
oils and second-grade industrials sag
ging. However, the declines were small
here also. Brooklyn Manhattan Transit
SIS had a small gain. Cuban Cane Su-
gar 8s weresup nearly points.
st. Paul adjustments were extremely
active among the second-grade rails and
at high price for the current move
ment. Chicago & Great Western Is gain
ed a point, but losses were shown by
Chicago & Eastern Illinois 5s, Erie Gen
eral line Is, International Great North
ern adjustments, St. Louis-San Fran
cisco 41as, Rock Island 4las and the
Seabord Air Line loans.
Bolivian and Peruvian bonds were the
high lights of the foreign list. Bolivian
rs we're points higher and Peruvian
6s gained 2la points. Bonds of the cof-
fee States, Rio de Janeiro and Brazilian
government credits were up from their
lows of Tuesday on news of recovery
in the milreis. There was strength in
French and British government bonds,
with the balance Of the list irregular.
