two motives for taking such ac-
ton. In the first place, corpor-
ate executives feel a responsible
ity for keeping the financial ar
teries open, and preventing the
dire consequences that would
come from inability to absorb
stock. The very welfare of in
dividual companies depends on
general economic stability.
In the second place, some cor
porate executives are convinced
that stocks at prices prevailing
this week are intrinsically cheap
for the long pull, and that it is
good business, from d stri 4tly
profits standpoint. to take advan.
tage of current buying opportuni.
ties. Some of this buying for
purposes of support are doubtless
only temporary purchases.

Albert Conway, State insurance
commissioner in New York, recog
nizing the need of mobilizing buy
es during the crisis, performed the
unprecedented act of calling in
surance company executives to.
gether and advising them to buy
common stocks. OF course, in New
York the life insurance companies
are not permitted to purchase com
mon stocks, though in Canada
they are.

Believing that the lime had come
for business executives to display
their faith IN the future of Ameri.
can trade, the president, with the
approval of mis- directors, discussed
with his bank the proposition of
placing a large amount of corpo-
rate cash INTO stocks, and taking
care of the companys $ current cash
requirements through a bank loan.
The bank approved the idea, and
the company bought a portfolio of
standard American stocks, espe-
cially strong dividend paying rails,
railroad equipment shares. and
premier indCstrials.
In normal times. a commercial
banker would probably look
askance at proposal to borrow
in order to release cash for mar
ket transactions. Strictly speak
ing. it is somewhat apart from
an industrial corporations true

RESERVE NOTES.
ABRUPT TURN IN
CREDIT TRENDS
Declining interest Rates and
Recovery in Bonds Seen as
Result of Stock DefIatiOn

NEW YORK. Nov. /. - Credi
trends which had continued fo
about two years have been abruptly
reversed in the last few weeks, &C
cording to the Federal Reserve BanI
of New Yorks review released To
night, 1t states:
''StOck prices have turned down.
ward. Bond prices have made
some recovery. Loans to brokers
and dealers have decreased sharply
and there has been sudden
shift between lenders. Interest
rates have declined rapidly and
foreign exchange rates have
strengthened to points where gold
exports have been made.
"Of these developments the de.
cline i'm stock prices has been
the most spectacular and i'm large
measure, the controlling event.
The decline has carried repre-
sentative price averages below
the lowest points heretofore
reached this year. though not to
points which are low relative to
the levels of prices 0f 1928 or
any previous year.
whereas the gradual recession

continued large volume of new
stock issues calling for additional
amounts of credit, the drastic de.
Clines of the last two weeks have
released considerable amount Of
funds.
Prom the point of view of the
general credit situation, the net
result of these movements was to
bring about an increase of $1,374..
OOO,0OO i'm the loans and a similar
increase i'm the deposits of the
New York city banks. with a cOn.
seguent increase I'm the amount Of
reserve balances they are required
to maintain on deposit at the
Federal Reserve Bank. In the
period Of one week from October
% to 30 the reserve requirements
of these banks were increased
more than 100000, 900.
"These movements illustrate
once more the fact, which has pre-.
viOusly been commented upon in
this review. that loans to brokers
and dealers by lenders other than
banks constitute potential drain
in periods of emergency.
"New York city banks were able
to handle the huge burden which
was shifted to them without any
disturbance to the money market
by reason of an increase Of over
$15,0OO,O 900 in the security holdings
of the Reserve banks and a like
increase in rediscOunts."

Auction Bidding
Contract Bidding

The play of the above hand by
South at Spades is a very pretty
example of a strip and end play
that succeeds although, not q
marked winner. BY this | mean
that South can have no assurance
of the success of his strip and end
play, but still must make the play
as his only possible way to go
game. If it succeeds, he is amply
rewarded for his efforts; if it fails
nothing is lost as the net result in
that case would be the same as If
he had not made the effort.
It will be noted that North's
strip and end play succeeded be-
cause West holds the King of
Clubs. and would fail had East held
this card. Thus, the strip and end
pIav successfully accomplished by
South was not a marked winner.
Salient Points of Bidding
Auction: South opens the bid
ding with one Spade. West is in
doubt whether to double negatively
mr. to overcalI with two Diamonds,
r. he doubles negatively. any re-
sponse by partner would be forced
and therefore one that West. de-

if ne overcaIls with two Diamonds
and East makes free bid-one not
forced by a double, then West
would he in a much better position
to increase such free hid. So con-
sidered. he overcalls with two
