RESERVE BANK
SYSTEM NEAR
HIGHEST LEVEL
Condition Is Soundest of
History, Statement of
Chiefs Says.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-The
federal reserve system is in the
soundest condition in it's history, a
statement issued today indicated.
Re serves were shown by the weekly
condition statement to be at rec
ord high levels.
THE ratio of reserves to liabii-
ties is row the highest, except for
brief time in 1924, since pre-war
days.
Furthermore, the 5000 member
banks of the reserve system, COM
prising third in number and two
thirds in assets of Americas bank
ing system, are borrowing less from
the reserve system now than for
many years. Indebtedness Of mem
Der banks now is at the low figure
Of $257,000,OO0, compared with
$768, 100000 year ago.
Included in the $3,141, Att, 900 total
reserves of the reserve system is
more than $1,000, 100000 in gold.
In addition, another $1,000,000 900
of the gold is held by the treasury,
other banks and the public. The
United States, therefore, now has
S4,O00,000,000 of the worlds total
gold stock Of less than $4,000
100000. France holds 100000 600
1t would require 400 years for an
expert counter to tally all the gold
in the Vaults Of United States banks
even if he checked it at the rate
of a ST. bill each second for eight
hours daily without a halt.
Vast amounts Of this reserve are
available for loans to member banks
in distress, officials said. The mem
Der banks barely have touched Their
borrowing capacity with the re-
serve system, thus far, and could
obtain hundreds of millions in
credits to avert q serious national
calamity.
For each 500 in demand liabili-
ties, the reserve system today has
$40 in liquid assets, gold or cash
This is an unusually high reserve
ratio, officials said.
In a recent statement, the re-
serve board described the condition
of its member and commercial
banks as Exceptionally strong"
With money rates at record low
levels, officials said the banking
structure is abundantly prepared to
supply ample funds at the lowest
rates in reserve system history.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 12.-Not only
are our present skyscrapers practi-

is entirely practical from an engi-

Gilbert D. Fish, structural engineer

Such tower would require $4,000

Closing their schedule Of home

afternoon. The game will be the

I.n1horns at Austin being the final.
The A. and M.-Rice game this
year presents an unusual situation
for games between the two teams
IN that il is the first time in recent
football history that the feathered
tribe has been favored TO down the
AFgie eleven. In past years the
Owls have always been considered
the u~nderdogs, or the games have
been considered toss-ups.
Owls Favored
This year. with the scalp Of the
Texas Longhorn eleven. second po-

horns. vino since then have downed
the s. NJ. U. Mustangs and the Bay

win Of the season for the Owls while
the Acgies have vet to break into
the win column Of the percentage
table.
A comparison Of the score against
teams both elevens have met shows
the two teams to be Of about equal
strength. Both teams have been
trounced by the title pointed t. c. u.
Horned Frogs and the Arkansas
Razorbacks. That the Frogs barely

a significant commentary on the
