hostility to his plans from brokerage
interests.
Federal Reserve Board members met
yesterday with leading bankers from
New York and elsewhere for the Gus
tomary executive discussions of credit
conditions. but nothing was produced
after the session to change the atmos-
phere and prevailing expectations IN
Washington. Few informed observers
expect rediscount rate increases to be
resorted to unless market and money
conditions change radically. Board
members indicated a good deal OF dis
taste, however, for the circulation IN
Wall Street Of fiat statements that their
repressive policy toward the extension
of collateral leans by member banks was
being reversed and that the centra!
system would resume the purchase OF
bills Of acceptance and other activities
which generally increase the volume OF
scirculat ting currency. 1t is tntimated
that there is no real change OF front

selves arc operating to remove the need
Of severe action.

banks owning blocks of old National
bonds Of the Civil War issues and a
small amount Of Spanish War and
Panama Canal loans issued early this
century. For many years Treasury re-
ports have shown that redemption Of
such currency has been proceeding
faster than reissue, and in accepted
monetary theory, Federal Reserve cur

commercial paper. has been expected
to replace the whole National Bank
issue In about eight years.
However, during the last II months,
National Bank notes In circulation have
actually increased by more than $751;

bonds have found it increasingly
profitable to take advantage of their
privilege to issue new bills as collateral

retirement of notes outstanding has
been notably checked. Notwithstand-
ing, Treasury officials expect the con-
dition to be but a temporary one, and
look for the trend toward complete
retirement Of the issues to resume
shortly.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Glass of Virginia, eX-Secre-
tary of the Treasury and the most out
spoken legislative critic of modern specu-
lative trends. is preparing now pair OF
tax measures openly designed for the
repression of stock dabbling. The hrst
of these, whose general terms the Sen
ator has already announced, proposes
to impose a tax of SIS per 100 shares
upon all stock exchange sales of secur-
tiles held for less than so days by the
seller. while the second, being formu-
lated after the Senator's study OF some
court decisions, will propose an extra
income tax on the profit derived by
spectators from sales of securities
owned for less than so days.
The tax on the stock sales, in the
nature of an excise tax, might be open
to some constitutional objection" Sem
ator Glass explained, but the second
measure, which propose to offer as a
sort of alternative, will be founded upon
the Federal Governments power to levy
income taxes, which has been well
sustained by the courts. I haven't
yet worked up the rates to be applied.
My objections to the speculative
craze which has gripped the country
gambling, or speculation, if the term is
more acceptable. and ! am no uplifter.
1t is only because of the engrossmert
OF credit in speculation to the depriva-
ton of legitimate business that have
moved in the matter. The Federal Re-
serve Board hasn't fulfilled its duty in
the matter
There is no question. Senator Glass
added that the tax he proposes
on sales of stock would touch an over
wheming proportion of the current
transactions on the New York and other
exchanges.
In investigating the situation had
chart made up showing the New York
Exchange transactions for several years
back he said. THAT demonstrated
that the average parcel of stock bought
there during recent months has been
sold within 221a days. The time of
holding has steadily shortened. Sew
eral years back, when the study began,
the chart showed that the average term
of holding a parcel Of stock was about
IS days and that the time has been
steadily cut down since. I haven't CAL
culated upon the revenue such a meas
ure would produce since the object Is
To handicap the sales, and I have no
intention Of extending the tax to apply
to speculation on the grain or COM
modify exchanges.

with speculation legislatively has heen

FOURTH IN WOVEN GOODS
Connecticut High On List For Elastic
 Goods

Connecticut ranks fourth among the states of the nation in the num- Der of establishments engaged primar- ily in the manufacture, from purchas- ed webbing. of suspenders, garters, and other elastic woven goods, the department cf commerce reveals fol- lowing the biennial census of manu- factures taken in 1928. The census was based on manufacures during 1927.
 Of the ninety-one establishments re- porting in the industry for 1927, sev- cn were located in Connecticut, New York leading with forty-two, and Illi- nois and Massachusetts tied with eight. In 1925, the last preceding census year, the industry was represented by ninety-three establishments, the de- crease to ninety-one in 1927 being the net result of loss of nineteen and a gain of seventeen.
 The industry reported products in 1927 to the extent of S26,9S5,316, a decrease of 1.9 per cent aw compared with S27, ,504, OPS for 1925. The chief items included in the total for 1927 are: Garters and hose supporters, s.767. .7s5 dozen pairs, valued at $l5,- 525. .6f5: suspenders, l.089,429 dozen hairs. valued at $4 ,27l ,002; arm bands, 515.927 dozen pairs, valued at $49s.- 9ss.
 In addition. suspenders, garters, and other elastic woven goods are manufactured to some extent by es- tablighments engaged primarily in other lines of manufacture. The value of such commodities thus produced outside the industry proper approxi- mates one-twenty-ffth of the total valne of products reported for the in- dustrv as classified.
