BY FEDERAL BANK
Increase of 81 Properties
Noted in Report of Insti-

Special Dispatch to The star.

special Dlspatch TO The Star
BALTIMORE, Md. January 81
THE Federal Land Bank of Baltimore
sold 1874 farms during 1880. compared
with 100 during 1929" stated ". Walden.
president of the bank, here today in
discussing the farm real estate market.
This indicates that there is a market
for farms despite the drought condi-
tons which prevailed in much of this
district during the past year. It also
indicates that the bank and the assoc
Citations have made an extra effort to
dispose OF the farms which they had on
hand. These sales, for the most part,
have been on down payment of 20
per cent or more of the sales price. At
the end OF 1880 the bank had on hand
1876 farms upon which II had to FORE
close in the past. OF the farms now in
possession of the bank Is are in Porto
Rico, l in Delaware, 4 in Maryland 81
IN pennsylvania, SO in Virginia and 10
in West Virginia
Farmers in these States are making
a tremendous effort to keep their loans
in good standing and to continue to re-
ceive the benefits of long-term amor
tized. Underestimate loans such as
they have received from the Federal
Land Bank through the National Farm
Loan Associations. 1t is not the desire
OF the Federal Land Bank to acquire
farms unnecessarily Such acquisitions
are obviously burdensome to the bank.
1t is not the policy of the bank to in
stitute foreclosure proceedings except
for the protection of the bank, when,
after careful investigation of the merits
of each individual case, it is found that
the borrower is not making a satisfac-
tory endeavor to meet his obligation or
is unlikely to succeed if given a reason
able opportunity The bank, however,
has distinct obligation which must
be met promptly, and that is the pay
ment of interest on its bonds.
November /. 1880, and January 2,
1881, the bank paid on its Federal Land
Bank bonds outstanding interest
amounting to $1,531 ,24S.38 This money
was paid to the bank by the borrowers.
The bank carries a 100 per cent re-
serve on the real estate which it owns,
also against all delinquencies 90 days or
more overdue. Its reserves on December
81, 1880, were 1888, 942.07. compared
with 81, 1913, 1852, December 81, 1929,
or an increase of $191, 1888"

ADVANCE IN BOND
MARKET is HALTED
Heavy New Financing Results
, in Selling of Junior
Securities.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, January 27.-The COM
petition of another budget of nearly
500 900, 900 in new bonds offered to-
day halted the advance in bond prices.
High-grade bonds remained unchanged
while junior securities sold of slightly
all around.
Volume was heavy due to special
trading in MiSsouri-Pacific issues fol-
lowing the bringing out of SOL 200 900
issue of per cent first and refunding
mortgage bonds at 95. This was to
212 points under Mondays closing
prices for outstanding bonds of the
same mortgage and heavy blocks of the
latter were thrown onto the market at
the offering price of the new bonds. In
the morning hours alone nearly 81 ,000,-
900 of MisSouri-Paciflc SIS were sold at
95 to 9514 .....
Apart from this the market was only
moderately active. There were a few
sizeable lots of high-grade bonds
traded, like Atchison general As, which
phone SIS of 1865 were in demand.
Firm levels prevailed in these and in
Brooklyn Manhattan Transit 6s, Chesa-
peake Corporation SIS, Chesapeake &
Ohio general AIS, Quincy As, Consoli-
dated Gas 5l2S, Great Northern Is and
Southern Pacific AIS.
Richfleld Oil 6s and Pan American
Petroleum of California IS, both affected
by the negotiations for the taking over
of Richfield by Cities Service, were still
active. Richfleld IS added over a point
to its Monday gain, while Pan-American
IS dropped off a shade under profit
taking. other second grade bonds were
generally lower, including Chicago
Great Western As, Rock Island AIS,
Erie SIS, Hudson and Manhattan Re
funding SIS, International Match SIS and
Frisco 4l2s.
United States Government obligations
were traded in fair volume under the
stimulus provided by the offering today
of $50 100000 in Treasury bills. The
bills will mature in go days and will be
sold on a discount basis The likeli-
hood of new record low cost in this
short term financing attracted funds to
long-term Liberty and Treasury bonds
Treasury 3A gained 1882, a wide move
for such bond.
Foreign dollar bonds we're generally
stronger. German government SIS
added small fraction to their advance
of Monday and the previous week
PREPARATION rs were also strong and
there were small gains in German Cen
trail Bank IS and other German bonds.
Brazilian issues were firm.

situation for 1881 and aroused great
enthusiasm. Chairman Thomson re-
ported that membership in the clubs
conducted by 80 local banks had jumped
20 $500, compared with 92,l97 in the
1880 clubs, an increase of $500 MEM
bers.
At the same time the amount sub
scribed for the coming year totaled
So. 484, 410, in comparison with $685.
$50 a year ago. an increase of $649, 100.
The average saving per member is
$50, against $84 last year, difference
Of but 81. However, the countrywide
average in Christmas savings clubs Is
only $50 80 per member.
The cooperative advertising cost
practically the same as last year, ap-
pearing Ill times in local newspapers,
against 80 times year ago. Since the
club started, in 1924, the membership
has grown from $4,000 to near 100000
and totals subscribed from $3,000,0 900
to over $4,000, 900.
Robert " Fleming gave a most in
teresting resume of the plans for the
coming Central States Bank Manage
ment Conference, to be held here. He
said that Chairman H. H. Mckee and
his assistants are arranging program
of unusual merit. It is expected that
President Rome c. Stephenson Of the
American Bankers Association will be
present and speak. High Treasury
officials have also been invited to take
part.
Mr.. Fleming spoke briefly for the
Community Chest, at the request OF
President McLachlen He also brought
UP the matter of interest which the
banks pay on certain balances placed
by other banks. These interest rates
which Mr.. Fleming said did not apply
| to savings accounts, should be lowered
| in his opinion to be more in harmony
| with the lower rates prevailing in other
cities. The matter was referred e

NEW YORK, January 27.-Whether
the country is to witness, and cigarette
smokers to profit, from another price
cutting war in the most popular COM
modify of the tobacco industry, is ex-
pected in Wall Street to be answered
this week
At present hostilitieS are confined to
the country'S two largest chains of to-
bacco Stores-the United and Schultz,
both Of which announced new conces-
sions to consumers last week.
Schultz cut the retail Nrice on four
popular brands of cigarettes to IL cents
a package, while the United made a
combination offer of cigarettes and mer-
chandise at figure which represented
a sharp cur in the cigarette prices.
United Cigar Stores offer the special
concession only until Wednesday, jan
uary %, and the question of whether
the competition will be continued is ex-
pected to be decided then It hinges, It
Is believed in Wall Street, on whether
Schultz restories its price to pack
ages for Is cents, which is the price
still prevailing in United Stores when
the customer does not take advantage
Of the special offer.
So ia neithe, Liggett Drug Stores
nor the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea
Co., two of the participants in the war
which was merrily waged last year, have
taken cognizance of the development.
