President Coolidge yesterday sent

second smack President Coolidge
has administered to local Republican
leaders since the recent campaign.
They were stinging under the re-

FURTHER RISE IN REDISCOUNT
RATES NOW APPEARS LIKELY

that is in harmony with actual loan
ing rates. The supreme power is in
the hands of the Federal Reserve
Board at Washington, which stubborn
ly refuses to acquiesce III the recon-
mendationS of local bankers who feel
that they are more familiar with their
own home conditions than the men
sitting at the Capital and looking at
the situation from a somewhat aca-

Inasmuch as Wall Street has been

would be no surprise to it if this rate

SEASONAL GAIN NOTED
IN EUROPEAN TRADE

Improvement in demand for Ameri-
can agricultural products abroad dur
ing March and April was due to sea-
sonal conditions, according to reports
received by the Department of Agri-
culture.
This improvement, however. has come
later than usual because Of the severe
Winter. Unemployment is greater than
year ago in Great Britain and Ger
many, the two leading markets. The
British credit situation was easier dur
ing mid-April and money appears to
be plentiful in Western European
countries, but continues scarce in Gen.
trail Europe.
Business activities continue TO prog
ress in France and Italy, but reports
from Germany and Poland indicate
the seasonal revival has only been
moderate.
The European crop outlook showed
general improvement in March and
early April in spite of some complaint
OF drought in France and other areas,
and continued GOODNESS and delay with
Spring work Winter killing appears
to be about normal and the bread
grain crops generally appear to be in
good shape.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star,
NEW YORK, May lathe fact that
all of the Federal Reserve Bank dis
tricts have now advanced their redis-
count rates to per cent, with Mime
apolis and San Francisco coming into
line this week under pressure of local
conditions, makes more plausible the
argument presented by the members
of the New York and Chicago banks
for further advance in these two dis
trictS to per cent.
IT their application to the Federal
Reserve Board is eventually granted,
as it is now believed 1t will be, Boston,
which has been urging a 6 per cent
rate for the last three months, and
Philadelphia. where extremely tight
money conditions have prevailed since
the March % break in stocks, will
quickly adopt the higher rediscount
figure: also Richmond and Atlanta.
The old controversy concerning the
autonomy of the Federal Reserve dis
trict banks comes up again in the
demand from New York and Chicago
that a rediscount rate be established

NEW YORK BANKS CUT
PAR VALUE OF STOCK
Thirty-0ne Have Recently Adopted
$40. $50. $25 and $50 in Place
of Old $10O Basis.
spscia, Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 1S.-During the
past year and a half 81 New York banks
have adopted the popular $40. $50 SIS
or $50 par value for their stocks Two
years ago there were only two New
York banks with a par value below
800, namely, the Bank of the Man
haitian Co and the Mechanics Bank
of Brooklyn, both of which had stocks
of $50 par value. Oddly enough. neither
of these banks are among those with
stocks with par values of less than
500 today Manhattan having increased
it's par from $50 to 500 in August,
1927. while the Mechanics stockhold-
ers exchanged their stock for the 500
par stock of the Brooklyn Trust Co.
at the time Of their recent merger
Some bankers believe that the 500
par stock will be AS much of rarity
two years from nov as the $50 and
S25 par stock was two years ago.
