both the American bankers and the
public a real insight into the develop
ment of group banking since the war.
When q large chart was brought to
the platform showing the record Of
group and chain banking in the United
States it presented q most impressive
statement. 1t showed 272 chains oper-
Union, controlling 1874 banks and
tying up resources of $12,S00, 600, 600.
But this is Only the amount which is
already announced. There are several
negotiations now under way which, If
completed, will bring the total resources
under the control of group banking to
about 20 per cent Of the total banking
resources OF $72,O00, OO0,O
When asked Lyman E. Wakefield,
president of the First National Bank of
Minneapolis and vice president of the
son for the vast development of group
banking in the Northwest, he replied:
THE problem in the Northwest is
to establish throughout the entire ter
ritory absolute confidence In the sound
ness of its banking facilities, particular
ly in the rural communities. The
Northwest Is basically sound. It's re-
sources are great and the realization of
their potentialities can be expedited for
the profit of those who live there II its
used and SO concentrated as to be
effective"
Resources Are Diverse.
Mr.. Wakefield added this statement
THE resources of the Ninth Federal
Reserve District are as diverse as those
of any section of the Nation, but they
h to- -
larger cities
That's the word, "mutuaized." It's
a new one in banking, but 1t will be
used frequently in the coming months,
for it expresses something new and
different in the banking field.
The stock of this corporation is being
sold only to subscribers living within
the Ninth Federal Reserve District. 1t
is capitalized at $3.50, 100000.
When asked this Minnesota banker
II their capital resources were enough
to develop the district adequately, he
declared:
1.-The adequacy Of the banking facili-
ties of the District to meet the needs
of any single branch of the industry
can be, and is being, enhanced by the
pooling OF the resources Of the deposit
taries of the transportation manufac-
turing milling, distributing and retail
interests of the Twin Cities, the milling
and metal industries Of Montana. Min
nesota and the Northern Michigan Pc
ninsula, the numbering Of Western Mon
tana and Northern Minnesota and the
agriculture of the entire region. Our
capital is adequate II used for the re-
gion as q unit"
Today the convention closes So far
as a fight between the unit and group
bankers Is concerned, it's over now.
That fight has melted away rapidly dur
ing the last six months.
And so the next question is-what
will Congress do, now that the bankers
have spoken?

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, October 3 (P).-Cotton
opened steady today at an advance OF
5 points to a decline of points. There
was buying on relatively steady cables
and talk of probable low private con-
dition and crop figures, but it appeared
to be offset by Southern hedge selling
and better weather in the Eastern and
Central belts. December eased off to
1882 and March to 1914 after the
opening, but the market steadied at
these figures on covering and trade huy-
ing. Prices were about net unchanged
at the end of the first half hour.
Two private crop reports were issued,
one placing the condition at 528 and
the indicated yield at 1882, 900 bales,
while the other made the condition
SAB and the indicated crop Of IA 1888, 900
bales. Liverpool cables reported that
hedging and scattered liquidation had
been absorbed by trade calling in that
market.

Curb SHARES FIRM
DESPITE SELLING
Market Becomes Steadier
After Early Liquidation.
Utilities Active.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 3.-Following
an irregular opening, the Curb market
Steadied today somewhat, under the
leadership of utilities and oils. Motors,
mines and investment trusts remained
weak. .s ,..
Electric Bond g. Share managed to
stave off considerable selling each time
it hit 100. or its final price of yester-
day. Commonwealth and Southern,
Associated Gas &: Electric, and Amer
lean Superpower however, were able
to maintain their gains.
Trading FavOrites.
Southern Cities Utilities preferred

points while the common. which has
had the habit of appearing on the
tape in blocks of 100 or 200 shares in
the final few minutes of trading. re-
manned inactive in the first part of the
session:
Cities Service early reached a new
high as traders whirled 1t up on the
belief that some announcement about
the companys natural gas expansion
plans could soon be expected. Most of
the Standi I'd Oil shares were either
fairly firm or higher, following publi-
cation Of plan for curtailing oil
production in Oklahoma.
roam Antelope was feature IN the
mine list because of its strength, which
followed London cables telling of the
extension for one month of the Muiashi
option by selection trust. Newmont
Mining met further profit taking despite
a rather widespread belief among
traders that coppers and metal invest
ment trusts have nearly reached an
oversold condition. Noranda after open
ing lower was able to regain part OF
ats early loss.

between sales. StutZ Motors early was
Motors and Ford of France followed.
The latter two stocks. however, only
equaled previous low prices.
Investment Trusts.
Certain groups of investment trusts
at intervals were distinctly weak. This
was trueI of the Goldman Sachs group.
Blue Ridge common and preferred fell
to new minimum quotations. This soft
ness was transmitted to Goldman Sachs
and both Shenandoah common and pre-
ferred. National Investors Corporation
new shares dropped to a record low
mark. Electric Power Associates was
somewhat better, following the recent
strength of some of its holdings. such
as American Water Works, on the big
board.
The industrials as group were not
as active as in recent sessions. Some of
the higher priced issues were neglected.
While some of tl1e radios were active,
they f1uctuated only fractionally.

SEABOARD AIR LINE.

BALTIMORE, october Especially -
The capital readjustment plan of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway probably
will be declared operative this week If
it receives the approval of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. The plan
is now being studied by that body and
a favorable decision is expected at any
time.
More than $21 .657 900, or nearly 81
per cent of the $25,000,000 adjustment
5 per cent bonds, have been deposited
under the plan. Accumulated interest
on this issue of bonds as of August /,
Last, amounted to 22l2 per cent.
Earnings of the carrier so far this
year show gains compared with 1928
and 1927.
For the first eight months of the
year surplus was 81 ,088, 655. an increase
Of $453,018, compared with the corre-
spending period in 1928.

General W. irving Glover, who has

The development of the air mail serv-
ice has been so rapid and the use of
