TOBACCO PRICES

North Carolina Legislator
Urges Inquiry to Determine
Cause of Slump.

BY the Associated Press.
WILSON, N. c., August 29.-The
present tobacco price situation will be
taken before Congress, If relief from
"low prices" cannot be obtained by
other means, Representative John H.
Kerr Of the second North Carolina dis
trlct has asserted.
Representative Kerr has written LETT
ters to the Justice Department, the
Federal Trade Commission and the
Farm Board urging that something be
done to bring about better prices.
In his letter to the Justice DEPART
make an investigation to determine IL
there had not been a "price-fixing
agreement" or understanding on the
part of the big tonacco companies buy
ing the present crop. Indications are,
he declared, there has at least been q
gentlemen's agreement among the COM
panies mot to compete"
Representative Kerr requested the
Trade Commission and Farm Board to
take immediate steps to do what they
could to help the farmers. He suggest
ed the Trade Commission quietly make
an investigation" without waiting for
-
The North Carolina legislator asserted,
however, that if something was not
done he was prepared to carry the mat
ter before Congress.
"If no relief is given by the COM
panies," he said, II shall introduce and
press for passage through the House of
q resolution demanding an investiga-
ton"
Representative Kerr's action was
taken in response to a request from
John d. Gold of Wilson, editor of the
Daily Times, that some steps be taken
to obtain better prices for the leaf than
were promised.
Replying to Mr.. Gold, Representative
Kerr wrote:
II heartily concur with you in your
position. The producers prices, as
rendered on the markets by the tobacco
companies, amount to flscation-faT
below the price necessary to cover the
cost of production, and that In face OF
the fact that retail prices of the manu-
featured product are maintained, and
that the demand Is greater than ever,
and in spite of the fact that the stocks
are less than last year."

WALL STREET REVIVES DEBATE
ON FEDERAL RESERVE POLICY

frequently and publicly issued warnings
against the dangers inherent in con-
dittons then existing and advised that
spectators deSist from reckless upbid-
ding Of prices and imitation Of loans.
Banks Powers Restored.
More than that, the board did take
indirect action to check imitation OF
brokers' loans by selling Government
securities in the open market and there
by caused withdrawal Of bank funds
from stock speculation. To certain
extent that policy was effective in re-
ducing bank loans to speculators, but
the boom had gone too far to BIT cor
rected by such mild and indirect meas
ures, as events subsequently proved. 1t
was not until the discount rate was
raised In New York and ether large
financial centers hat imitation was
eventually halted.
Whatever opinion may be regarding
the wisdom of Federal Reserve policy
during the critical period referred to,
the administration Of Cav. Young will
go down In history as being the one
that restored to the IL regional reserve
banks the powers which most bankers
believe are inherently theirs under tho
law, and reversed the action of hiI
predecessor In overstepping the boards
authority. BY an extreme interpreta.
ton OF the Federal Reserve act the
board In 1927 had adopted the policy
of debating rate changes to regional
banks and bringing pressure to bear
when they showed reluctance to permit
dictation.
Debate Over Rate.
1t was in that year that the Chicago
Reserve Bank became involved in an
acrimonious dispute with the board
over its own rate policy, but finally
yielded to the beard. The boards
policy was to equalize reserve bank
discount rates all over the country, re-
gardless of local money conditions.
One Of the first acts of the adnlini-
Stratlon of Gov. Young, when he STEP
ped into Office In the Fall of 1927, was
to abandon that policy of equalization
and at the same time restore to the
individual reserve banks their authority
to initiate rate changes. reServing to
the hoard only the authority undoubted-
ly delegated by the law TO veto changes
which the board disapproved. Reserve
bank discount rates have never been
uniform from that day to this.

NEW YORK, August 29.-Desplte an

ton, many price changes still are beng

disc, an executive of a large chain
store organization reports. He charac-
terized the situation as still Sin state

pect.
Most of the models based on recent
Paris showings now are available IN
the leading dress houses in New York,
with the exception of Chanel and
Vionnet. whose models are scheduled to
arrive Tuesday. Retailers are pressing
for quick deliveries on the new Offer
ings, particularly the group-buying or
CARNATIONS.
Despite a more promising statistical
situation, brought about BY the balanc-
ing of supply with demand, refiectlon
in an improved price structure has been
entirely lacking, Standard StaEstlcS Co
says. In fact, gasoline quotations have
been under constant pressure, and cur
rent levels are well below both the high
for 1880 and prices prevailing 9 year
ago. Under these adverse conditions,
profit margins, particularly IN the re-
f1ning and marketing fields, are eX-
tremely narrow. 1t Is becoming nereas-
ingly apparent that earnings Of the
great majority of oil companies for the
full year will be distinctly Disappointing.
