feel so happy, if it rains on Saturday
that he or she will take the day off

rain, everything will be moved into
the school building, and the fair will
continue without a falter. It's meant
for a day of fun and enjoyment fol
everyone, and that's just what it will
be, rain or shine!

INTEREST RATES
CHANGE IN BOSTON
Commercial Loans Cheaper
in January on Account of
Inactive Demand.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BOSTON, February 5.-Changes in
the rates of interest for the various
classes of money in the Boston money
market were not uniformly in the same
direction between December % and
January %. Despite a distinct sea-
Sonal tendency for rates to decline in
January, the askin~ rate on bankers
prime 90-day acceptances rose from
3s per cent to 4 per cent on January
IL. The reason for rising acceptance
rates at this time, says the Boston Fed
eral Reserve Bank, may lie in the con-
tinued rapid growth in the supply which
the market has had to absorb, even in
spite of the apparently large demand.
On December 81 there we're $1,732,-
100000 of bankers acceptances out
standing. This was a gain of $74,000,-
600 in one month, and was $448, 000, 900
higher than year ago. Similarly, the
yield on Short-term United States
Treasury certificates of Indebtedness
rose from 30 per cent on December %
to 35 per cent on January %, using the
March maturity as a base. On the
other hand, the prevailing rate on
brokers' prime commercial paper early
in January was per cent, but by Janu-
airy 20 the rate had eased somewhat,
with some names as low as Az per cent.
Time money for six months in Boston
was 5A per cent to 5is per cent on
January %, as compared with 5l2 per
cent to 6 per cent on December %.
Call money in Boston was available at
S per cent both in December and in
January.
At the Boston banks the rate on time
loans secured by prime Stock Exchange
collateral showed practically no change
in January as compared with December.
whereas the rate charged customers for
commercial" loans was 5l9 per cent,
as against 5l2-6 per cent month pre-
vious, the decline in this latter class OF
credit being due largely to lack OF &C
tive commercial demand during Janu-
airy.
Total deposits reached peak in the
Boston banks soon after the stock mar
ket crash, and since october 80 have
continued to decline, the temporary rise
between December 18 and January 10
being probably seasonal in nature, and
reversed by sharp drop late in Janu-
ary. This decline was the result OF
large Withdrawals, $72,000,000 in de-
mand deposits, which more than offset
a fairly substantial rise ($23, 100000 in
time deposits. Time deposits on Janu-
airy % were at the highest point since
the end of May, 1928. Following the
break in the stock market, the trend In
time deposits had been steadily down
ward until January 8, after which the
expansion was rapid.

BANK WILL REOPEN
AT SEAT PLEASANT
Committee Plans for Opera
ton of Southern Maryland
Trust Co.
81 stan Correspondent of The star.

SEAT PLEASANT, Md, February 5.
Plans for reopening of the Southern
Maryland Trust Co. under local man
agement took shape last night when
pool committee was appointed at a
meeting of stockholders.
The plan calls for an arrangement
whereby the par value of the shares
of stocks will be cut and the cash sur
plus increased. Stockholders will be
asked to pool their holdings and sub
scribe so per cent in addition to the
par value of the shares owned by them.
1t Is hoped the pool committee and
subcommittee working under it will
succeed in raising enough cash within
the next few weeks to be able to go
before the receiver and have the banks
of the institution at Seat Pleasant and
Upper Marlboro reopened.
The plan for the reopening of the
bank was outlined at last nights meet
ing by Frank Hill, who explained it in
detail and answered numerous queries
of stockholders and their representa-
tiveS during the session. It seemed TO
be the unanimous opinion that the
proposal outlined by Mr.. Hill was the
only way to handle the situation. 1t
was made clear that there is no sort of
afhliation with any other bank at this
time.
George ". Wells, former Prince
Georges County commissioner, presided
at the meeting. The stockholders pool
| committee as selected comprises w.
| Seaton Belt, Dr. 2. M Brady, A. o.
Ollie and w. F. Stembler.
The Southern Maryland Trust Co.
was closed by order of George w. Page,
bank commissioner Of Maryland, on
| December 10. Samuel j. Henry, for
mer president of the F. H. Smith Co.
and of the trust company, had resigned
| few days previous as did Hubert 7.
Plaster, secretary of the trust company.
Frozen assets was given as the reason
| for the action some of these assets
consisting of F. H. Smith Co. paper.
| Commissioner Page was subsequently
| appointed receiver for the institution
which has since been under the orders
| of the Circuit Court.
| Deposits of the institution consist of
about 100000, and if the plan pro-
posed at last nights meeting is sue
cessful all depositors will be paid in
| full.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, February S CP).-Cot-
ton opened steady today at an advance
of to 8 points. Traders seemed to
ignore relatively easy cables from Liver
pool at the start, and there were some
over night buying orders in the market
which sent the price of May up to 1912
and October to 1879.
The demand was supplied by realizing
or a renewal of liquidation, however,
while there was. selling here by Liver
pool and New orleans on the differ
ences. This supplied the early buying
and prices eased later with the market
showing net declines of about l to S
points by the end of the first half hour.
Liverpool cables reported Continental
and Bombay liquidation in that market
and said there were moderate cloth
sales for Africa and South America,
but that the decline In silver and low
exchange was restricting business in
action.
