RESERVE BOARD
REVIEWS
TRADE
BY HARRY GUSACK
Financial Editor

High money rates in effect in the
Federal Reserve system for the
past year and a half, designed to
have a restraining influence on
bank credit, resulted in a general
slowing down of business activity,
Il was announced today by the
Federal Reserve Board in its month
" review of business and financial
conditions.
Indebtedness at the Reserve
banks makes member banks less
willing to expand their loans, and
this more conservative attitude Is
usually reflected in rise Of money
rates." the board said.
''The close relationship between
the volume of discounts for member
banks and the level of money rates
as reflected in the rate for open
market commercial paper Is indi'
. Gated by the figures. 1t will be
noted, however, that from the mid.
die of 1928 a slightly downward
tendency of discounts has been
accompanied by a further rise in
money rates. This development
reflects the unusual condition OF
the money market since last
autumn"
Referring to the boards policy
during the money tight situation,
the board said:
while the growth in the volume
OF Stock Exchange loans indicates
the extent to which the growing
demand for funds has been a factor
in raising money rates, on the sup
ply sise an important factor in the
situation has been Federal Reserve
credit policy.
".This policy began to be exerted
in. the direction Of firmer money
late in the fall of 1927, when an
outward movement of gold set in
and the Federal Reserve system.
beginning in November, permitted
this outflow to have direct and
immediate effect on the credit sit
uation.
Prior to that time the Federal
Reserve banks had offset the effects
of gold exports by purchasing Gov
ernment security. In November,
however, when the peak of the crop
marketing season and of the pres
sure on foreign exchanges was
passed, the Federal Reserve banks.
In view of the rapid growth Of loans
on security, discontinued the pur-
chase of security.
THE growth of security loans by
member banks continued after the
turn of the year, and the Reserve
banks began to sell United States
securities out of their portfolios,
with the consequence that member
banks reserves were subject to
pressure not only by gold exports
bat also by the open market policy
of the Reserve banks"

Surplus Seen

The United States Government
will end the fiscal year, June 80,
with a Treasury surplus of between
100,000,000 and $4,000, 900 instead
of the expected deficit of about
$17,OOO,O0O the White House an
nounced yesterday.
1t was explained that last Feb
Tuary. when balance was struck
and the revenue estimated, the
Treasury experts reported that it
would be impossible to avoid a
deficit of at least $17,0O0,000. Since
then the revenue, particularly from
incomes, has exceeded even the most
optimistic hopes.
A small portion Of this surplus
Il was explained, is due to some
projects which were deferred until
after the beginning of the new
fiscal year, but by far the most
of it, approximately $4,000, 900 is
due to the revenue which was
not anticipated last February.

and persons who go on long hikes

Far from it! AS / stated at the
outset, there are stimulants and
stimulants.
Some stimulate only and stop
there, as it were. Others not
only stimulate, but produce dele
tinous effects ON body organs, as
well.
Candy belongs in the former
class. One can get Indigestion
from too much, but that's about
the worst that can happen.
But with alcohol it's a different
story. Alcohol In regular amounts,
especially in large quantities,
sooner or, later is likely to do
definite harm to the organic struc-
ture of the kidneys, liver, heart,
and general circulatory system.
However, aside from body stimu-
lants. we require mental stimu-
lants as we'll. We get sluggish
and ''thick.headed" and we need
something to activate us.
A melodrama or a swiftly NOV

the required results. Stirring
marching tunes or dance music
accomplish the same thing.
There are many kinds of stimu-
lants. both for body and mind,
that one may choose from.
The important thing is to
recognize that you may really
need temporary stimulation and
that you must select the stimulant
that will not leave secondary
and insidious harmful effect.
