FEDERAL BANKS
SWITCHING TO
STATE SYSTEM
Over ESQ National Charters
Returned Since New Law
of 1927.
BY LEO r. SACK
Times stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. Treas
ury department officials are con-
cerned over the manner in which
national banks are deserving the
federal banking system and are
taking out state charters. Since the
McFadden banking law became eff
fective, Feb. Is, 1927, between $50
and 800 national banks have
switched over to state banking sys-
TENS, carrying with them resources
in excess of $4,000, 100000. In all
there are $50 fewer national banks
than when the McFadden law be-
came effective.
Not only are small national banks
switching TO the state systems, but
in the past few months several ma
tionally known banks have returned
their federal charters. Among
them were the Seaboard National,
the Hanover National and the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce of New
York, the Continental and CONNER
cial National of Chicago, the Tenth
National of Philadelphia and the
Merchandise Clede National of st.
Louis.
The situation is such that Con-
troller of the Currency John w. Pole
and other treasury officials are CIV
ing 1t serious study with a view Of
seeking corrective legislation at The
next congress. AT the Capitol mem
bers of the banking and currency
committees also are giving thought
to the subject
Pressure by the federal reserve
system last spring because Of
mounting brokers loans Is not a
reason for the withdrawal of ma
tional banks. because the state
banks also are eligible for member
ship in the reserve system, it is
claimed.
A chief reason for the preference
for state systems, according to Of
ficialS, is that most state banks are
given greater latitude in lending to
their customers than are national
banks. Another important reason
Is that state banks are given greater
freedom in the investment of their
surplus funds in stock exchange Sc
curities which in many instances
has proved extremely profitable.
Many small national banks are
finding membership in the federal
reserve system expensive and bur-
densome. whereas the smaller state
banks are claiming that they can
carry balances in city banks on
which they receive interest and also
Ct the same accommodation that
they get from the national system.
They receive no interest from the
federal reserve system.

In the Stock Market
tBy Thomson & McKlnnon)

NEW YORK, Aug. Except for
the uncertainty over what action
may be taken by the Bank of
England and the continuance of the
credit stringency there is nothing
in the overnight news that can be
regarded as other than very favor
able. Car loading reports confirm
the maintenance of large produc-
ton in industry, and one of our
leading banks has again seen fit to
recommend a common stock, here
tofore regarded as in the speculative
class, as an excellent investment.
While on the subject of investments
we should like to make ourselves
clear on one point. We see no rea-
son for investors to disturb perma-
nent holdings, although we do feel
that from the speculative side OF the
picture extreme caution is now
justified. Demand and supply Of
money are now so evenly balanced
that conservative banking sources
who Just a short time ago were eX-
pecting a decided drop in interest
rates have swung to the other ex-
IRENE. Should the English rate be
raised and foreign balances begin to
return home the credit structure
may become further complicated
and reducing speculative commit
ments at every favorable opportn-
nifty appears to us to be the wise
course to pursue.

BULLISH CROP
REPORTS HELP

News.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-Bullish crop
news and better export sales brought
wheat prices into a climb to regain
their recent losses today. Corn
moved upward with wheat on re-
ports of continued drought in parts
of the belt. Oats were Influenced
by the strength in the major grains.
Opening wheat was up Is to
SIC, corn was y to csc higher.
Oats we're Il to sc.
Heavy liquidation has forced
wheat prices far lower and the mar
ket is in a position to accept any
bullish news. Advices from the
country are that farmers and small
elevators had stopped selling their
wheat until better markets.
Corn is Influenced materially by
the action in wheat, but does not
show the wide fluctuations of the
major cereal.
Oats are affected by wheat and
corn, but crop conditions remain
unchanged.

Cutting of Rye and Barley
Started in Manitoba
This Week.
BIZ Tim IS Special

BIZ Times Special
WINNIPEG, Aug. 6.-With the
rapid approach of harvest through
out the western provinces, the hot,
dry weather Of the last week has
not improved the crop outlook in
any respect, according to the weekly
crop report Of the Canadian Ma
tional Railways.
Sections which had previously re-
ported conditions as fair, now COM
plain of a too rapid ripening of
crops with consequent depreci-
ated outlook unless relieved by rain.
Other areas which have suffered
persistently from drouth during the
growing season appear to be able
to appraise more accurately their
losses and to determine which crops
shall be ploughed down and which
shall be left for thrashing.

HOT, DRY WEATHER
HITS CANADA CROP

Cutting Of rye and barley has
commenced in Manitoba and Will
be general for the next week. A
few cases of wheat cutting are also
noted in Manitoba.
Weather has been hot and dry
through the province and wheat Is
not filling normally except at Swan
river. where an average crop is still
possible, and at Russell. where q
three quarter crop is anticipated.
The general outlook is for a half
crop.
Northern Saskatchewan has SUI
fered somewhat from the heat dur
ing the week. Many central and
southern points. having long since
despaired of securing a crop, are
now concerned over the feed out
look.
The bright spot in the Alberta
situation appears in the Peace River
country. Here crops continue in a
favorable condition with harvest
about three weeks away. Athabaska
subdivision should also harvest a
normal or better crop at practically
all points.

their greatest bdoyancy in weeks,
which was exceedingly reassuring to

creasingly apprehensive as the
move in the rails got under way
and were forced to bid for stocks
for covering purposes.
