u. S. BOND BUYING
BY BANKS RESUMES
Purchases of Government
Securities Increases During
the Last Year.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
A.scsLat Prs BHsinesN Writer.

Purchases Of government securities
by the IL central banks Of the Federal
Reserve System increased Sl24, 975, 900
during the last year.
The amount OF their investment
stood at S727C04 coo on October 81,
latest reported week This increase is
attributed to the Government policy of
cheapening credit in its efforts to spur
business TO greater activity. During
last Spring these banks lowered
rates in the short-term market 70 I'M
remunerative levels. which tended 10
turn funds into long term issues, with
a resultant strengthening of the bond
market
In late weeks. however with redis-
count rates of the central banks show
ing a stiffening tendency, their, pur-
chaSes of Government securities have
fallen of, the last reporting period
showing a S37 600 900 decline. as COM
pared with the previous week.
This declining market furnished by
the reserve banks has contributed to
the present unusual spectacle in the
bond market where seven of the twelve
United States Government issues are
selling below par. Government econ
omists. however. point to this fact as
an encouraging feature. 1t indicates,
they contend. that investors feel they
can employ their funds in more re-
munerative channels, through loans
and industrial obligations. than in the
haven offered by Federal paper. In adj
dition, funds so placed are aiding in
business expansion and economic re-
covery.
It is cited that the moratorium re-
moved the best customer for Govern
ment securities. Foreign creditor ma
tons took advantage of the low market
in this country as medium Of meet
ing their periodic payment in bonds
which were accepted by this Govern
ment at par.

LOAN RESTRICTION
POLICY IS STUDIED
Clearing House Association Con.
siders Plan to Ban Account
of Others.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 30.-The New
York Clearing House Association has
before it proposal to ban brokers
loans for the account of Others" in
the call money market.
The decision is in the hands of a
committee which is expected to meet
soon and draw up a rule forbidding
non-banking interests for employment
in loans to brokers'
Should the proposal be adopted, it
would greatly restrict call loan facilities
available to corporations and wealthy
persons that at one time in 1929 had
nearly $4,000, 100000 in the call money
market. Corporations and others still
would be able to place their funds
through private banks and non-clear-
ing house institutions, although it was
believed that some institutions outside
of the clearing house might follow the
lead of clearing banks.
The placing by corporations and
ether non banking interests of funds
in the call money market through large
New York banks was enormous during
the bull market, when call money rates
scared as high as 90 per cent AT the
| high point, october 9, 1929. such loans
totaled s3.941 ,000, 900 of the total Of
S6,713,0oo,000 of all loans to brokers
reported as of that date
The break in the market was fol-
lowed by calling of the loans and in
the last two weeks of October. 1929,
Others had reduced their loans 10
brokers by sl,432, 900 900, throwing the
burden of carrying the loans upon the
banks. Subsequently further amounts
were called by non banking lenders,
reducing their accommodations to
brokers from the middle Of October TO
the end OF November, 1929, by nearly
s., 900, 0o0, 600.
In the opinion of bankers, the cur
rent low volume of Others" loans will
make it possible with a minimum OF
Inconvenience. to end the practice of
/ arranging such loans.

NEW TURKEY CROP
DECLARED LARGER
Smaller Percentage viii Be
Ready for Thanksgiving
Market, However.
BY the Associate Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. October 30.--TurkeN will
be less plentiful for the Thanksgiving
menu this year. but viii be In greater
supply for Christmas.
Figures supplied by the Government
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
showed that the 1881 turkey crop was
slightly larger than in 1880, but that a
smaller percentage would be ready fol
market by Thanksgiving.
Increase in Birds.
The number of turkeys on farms was
approximately per cent larger than
last year, but smaller than in 1929. The
increase was due largely to greater
numbers in the Pacific Coast States and
in Texas, which Offset decreases in the
North Central and Rocky Mountain
States.
Only 45.7 per cent of the crop will
be available for the Thanksgiving holi-
day, now less than month away
whereas last year Sis per cent were
ready. For Christmas, though, 500 pei
cent will be in condition to be shipped
to market, while last year only 81 pei
cent of the crop was ready to bedeck
Yuletide tables
Conditions were favorable for the rails
ing of young turkeys in most of the
area west of the Mississippi River and
the proportion raised to marketable size
was above average. East of the Mis-
sissippi Matching conditions wTe less
favorable. but greater proportion Of
young turkeys was saved.
Turkeys were apparently in better
than average condition on October
except in some States in the Western
drought area.
Grasshoppers have furnished a valu-
able food supply for the turkey crop in
many localities where other feed was
scarce.
The North Dakota crop is per cent
smaller because of poor hatchings and
depredations by dogs, crows, coyotes and
weasels. Blackhead, disease particu-
larly fatal to turkeys, was also more
prevalent.
Iowa showed the greatest increase in
production this year. IL per cent more
than in 1880. Other States showing
increases we're: Minnesota, 5 per cent;
Texas, per cent, and Arizona, pei
cent.

EASTERN ROLLING MILL
HAS $2,04O,748 CAPITAL
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 3O-Report OF
the Eastern Rolling Mill Co. for the
third quarter shows net loss Of SPA
104.85 compared with a net loss OF
$152, 330.27 in the corresponding period
last year Surplus after loss for quarter
was SSH ,808.51.
The report did not include a balance
sheet. AS of January J., 1881, the cur
rent assets stood at $2,190,999 and
current liabilities at $150.251, giving
net working capital of $2,040,748.
The low volume of tonnage output
by the Eastern Rolling Mills is due
principally to the widespread slump in
the automobile industry ANY expan-
sion in activities by the automobile
manufacturers this Fall and Winter
would probably be reflected in higher
rate of operation at the Eastern Rolling
Mills.
