D. C. RESIDENTS LEAD
IN SPENDABLE MONEY
$1,S2S Is Per Capita Figure Given
in Trade Maya
zine.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE aver
age resident of the District Of Column,
bia handles more "spendable money" in
q year than his. counterpart in any
State of the Union, according to an
analysis Of national income by States
and counties just completed by Sales
Management Magazine.
The per capita "spendable money in
come" of the District of Columbia Is
given as $l,32S. Leading States, IN
order, are New York, $1,I19: California,
$l,043; Massachusetts,. 1901 and ILL.,
nois, 1898.
The analysis. whose purpose is to in
form manufacturers and distributors ON
regional sales possibilities throughout
the country, used Federal income tax
figures as basis from which to deter
mine the amount Of money per capita
actually circulated in each county In
1928. 1t does not calculate such factors
as crops, value of manufactured prod.
ucts and land values, or seek to de-
termine actual wealth. Hence &c Is
pointed out, "spendable money" is much
more in evidence in the District of CO.
lumbia, where incomes are largely rep
resented by salaries. than in rich South
ern ana western farming regions, where
wealth is tied up over long periods and
members Of farming families render
service for which there is no monetary
consideration.

change on June IA, 1929, when trading
on the Curb reached q volume of l.
O32 400 shares. Since then there has
been an occasional 1900, 900 share day,
and a new high record of 3,084, 700
shares was set up on July ~, 1929,
Under this active trading the price Of
memberships reached q high Of &254, :
600, as against a low of $3.50 in 1921"
More than 1900 stocks and about 500
bonds are traded In on the Curb. Total
sales in 1928 appropriated 236, 900 900
shares of stock and $685., 100000 of
bonds. $50 important position in the
American public's mind has the Curb

sary by Prof, Fisher and his organiza-
ton. The Index Number Institute to

NEW YORK, october l7.-Sharp re-
coveries took place In todAy'se stock

Call Rate Drops.
Lowering Of the call money rate from
z to per cent, coincident with the
passing of the nid-month stringency,
stimulated the recovery in prices. The
time money market was dull but showed
an easier tendency. Some nervousness
was apparent over the weekly Federal
Reserve brokers' loan statement to be
issued after the close Of the market.
In view of the sharp rally and the
calling for payment OF q large stock
subscription in the period covered by
the statement most observers looked for
q moderate increase. ls,4issg4s.- i
