Municipal Finances
In Small Cities Fair

Contrary to popular opinion,
business and financial conditions
in the smaller cities and towns
throughout the United States are
on the average no worse than in
large metropolitan centers, it was
declared in an analysis of munic-
ipal finances issued today by
Moody'S Investors Service.
These findings are based pri-
marily on replies to more than
1000 questionnaires sent to coun-
ties, cities and towns in the
South, Southwest and Midwestern
sections of the country. Among
the States included in the COM
pilation were Alabama, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Missis-
sippi, Delaware, Arkansas, Texas,
Michigan and South Dakota.

HARVEST
IS DELAYED

Rains checked the harvest, beat
some open cotton out of the
bolls and damaged grades in
considerable of northwest Texas
during the week ended october
%. the Dallas News cotton condi-
ton report for that late area
states.
Practically all cotton is open,
and gathering of the crop was
in full swing. Nearly all of the
cotton is being snapped. A few
countries report that perhaps
one-fourth to one-half of the crop
is being hand picked.
Prices range from AZ to 5k
cents a pound, and if they drop
lower it is likely many fields
will not be gone over second
time.
A few localities report that
cattle have been turned into the
fields, but in the main it appears
that practically all cotton will be
harvested, regardless of price.

STUDIES
ROYALTY OIL

For the purpose of creating a
nationwide group of dealers
whereby the active exchange Of
oil royalties may be effected and
uniform principles adopted defin-
ing their investment merit, a new
association known as the Petro-
leum Exchange is now in process
Of formation by committee
headed by Edgar c. Niles, of Al
bany, N. Y. Frank B. Pryor, of
this city, is chairman for the area
from Wilmington, DEL, south to
the Gulf Coast.
The new organization will be
devoted entirely to the type of
royalties that are decided directly
to the investor and the returns
paid to him by the pipe line COM
panies. Their value will be COM
puted according t otheir location,
depth of sand and recoverable oil
as determined by geophysical
tests. The association has re-

gineer, to draw up the form Of
organization and offering terms of
the royalties.
The exchange Is to have head
quarters where information of
every character concerning oil
royalties is available. Every seller
of royalty will be required to
fill out all information regarding
it, so that offerings to the public
may be uniform. Any member
who desires to resell royalty for
client may submit the same to
every dealer through the medium
Of the association. Legal informa-
ton as to all titles will be avail

BUILDING LOAN
ASSETS SOAR

CHICAGO, Oct. Rebuilding
and loan association statistics
available for four complete bust
ness cycles show steady gains in
assets in all four phases of every
cycle, according to analysis made
by officers of the United States
Building and Loan League, meet
ing in Chicago last week. The
results of the analysis have just
been released to the leagues 1,700
member association.
On January /, 1892, the asso-
Citations will pay out nearly a
quarter of a billion dollars in
dividends to their 10000 share
holders in this country, the league
officers said, emphasing the con-
stancy Of dividend payments to
shareholders as one of the reasons
for the consistent gains made by
these institutions regardless Of the
business cycle phases.
Another reason advanced for
these gains was the essential sta
bility of real estate first mort
cages as compared to other in
vestment alternatives.
Since 1893 the associations
total assets have increased $685.
474,471; of this $1,414,844,523 was
gained during depression phases
Of the cycle, it is pointed out.

curity and other paper held In
the banks of the nation, was un-
der consideration today following
the proposal of Senator Bulkley
Cd of Ohio.
The proposal has the support
of Senator Glass CD of Virginia
and other financial experts on
the Democratic side of Capitol
Hill.
Broaden Powers
Senator Bulkley's plan would
broaden the powers of the Fed
eral land banks so they may
temporarily rediscount real es-
tate and other loans not now eli
gible at Federal Reserve banks,
rather than the liberalization of
the Federal Reserve act. Senator
Bulkley said:
''TO amend the farm loan act
to permit the Federal land
banks to purchase or redis-
count loans made on real estate
security, either agricultural or
urban, or even permit them to
purchase or rediscOunt loans
based on stocks and bonds, is
no serious departure from prin-
ciple in the character Of their
holdings.
whether we wish to make
these brOadened powers avail
able only for the present emer-
gency, or whether it would be
better to make them wholly or
partially permanent, may well
be the matter for further
thought and discussion.
81 expect this proposal would
involve a very large investment
by the Government in Federal
land bank stock. If it should
prove to be $4,000, 100000, l see
no reason for hesitating."
Supported BY Glass
Supporting Bulkley, Senator
Glass said:
81 am disposed to concur
with Senator Bulkley's view
that effective remedies could
more promptly be applied
through some establis h ed
agency of the Government.
such as the Federal land banks,

RADIO TO COVER
ITS DIVIDEND
NEEDS
Earning Preferred in "Lean"
Third Quarter Considered
Favorable Prospect Omen

For the first nine months Of
the current year it is likely that
Radio Corporation of America
will show it's preferred "A" md
"B" dividends about covered, the
Wall Street Journal says. This
compares with a deficit Of 3d.
029,647 after preferred dividend
requirements for the correspond
ing period of 1880.
Third Quarter Lean
The third quarter is usually
the leanest period for the radio
industry and often it is lin the
red" for many companies. There.
fore, the fact that the Radio
Corporation earned its preferred
dividend requirements in that
period suggests an Improvement
in business
For the six months ended June
80 the company showed a net
profit of $2,638,703 which, after
preferred dividends, left less than
a cent share on the 13,160,750
common shares outstanding. The
half year results compared with
a net of $505, ,098 before preferred
dividends in 1880 for the first
six months.
The company has not been
burdened by a distress inventory
this year as it was in the early
months of 1890.
Inventories In Order
AS a matter of fact, the whole
industry has kept it's inventories
in good order since the early days
of 1880 and at present the radio
industry is in better shape than
it has been in for years.
Radio Corporations expectations
for the final quarter, always the
best period of the year, are
satisfactory. Indications now are
that the company will show
something earned on the COM
mon stock for 1881, although the
figure doubtless will not be large.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Reac-
tionary tendencies held full sway
as the new week got under way
in today'S curb session, and under
the influence of a steady dribbling
of professional offerings and liqui-
dation from outside sources, stocks
gave way readily.
Electric Bond and Share was
pounded rather heavily in the util-
ity group, dipping to 21A for a
loss of ia points. American Gas
and Electric was off 1la points at
"A. Electric Power and Light war
rants was off 1A at 10, Brazil
Traction was off "a at II, and de-
clines of smaller proportions were
sustained in other utility favorites.
Cities Service dropped back to
71a for a loss of 20, although Of
ferings il this widely held favorite
were comparatively light.
Gulf was off 13s points at 47b
in a quiet oil list, although Stand
ard Indiana was taken at the
211a level, slightly above its pre-
viouS close.
Investment trusts were spotty
as a whole, with slightly lower
levels predominating.
Curb bonds turned easier after
a fairly steady start.

TOLD
Of ECONOMIC
PLANNING
Boston Banker Makes Plea
for Private Basis; La Foil
cite Is Chief Challenger
BY ROBERT s. ALLEN

Two great contending views Of
economic control, private freedom
of action versus Government su-
pervision. faced one another in the
person Of leading exponents today
at a Senate hearing. They were
heard by the committee consider.
ing the question of national eco
nomic planning as a solution for
business depreSSionS.
Henry I. Hartman, Boston
banker, head of the New England
Power Association and chairman
of the committee on continuity of
business and employment of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, discussed before the Senate
group the recent report Of his COM
mittee, which recommended ma
tional economic planning, but
strictly on a private basis.
La Toilette Is Challenger
His chief interrogation and chal-
lenger of private businG control
was Senator La Toilette (R.) Of
Wisconsin, chairman of the com.
mittee and author of forthcoming
legislation that would set up a
governmental agency to stabilize
industry.
Hartman agreed that if ruin
GUS business cycles were to be
eliminated, national economic
planning was essential. He main
tanned that industry and business
be allowed to solve this problem
without governmental interven-
ton. He expressed confidence
that if permitted to do so, private
interests would succeed in this
endeavor.
Economic Council Urged
The National Economic Council,
recommended by his chamber of
commerce committee as the best
means of introducing the desired
order and cooperation in business,
was urged upon his Senate hearers
by Hartman.
ton, maintenance of wage levels
This committee, he explained,
would be established by the
chamber of commerce and would
number five outstanding business
leaders. It would be strictly of
an advisory character, Hartman
said. It would direct it's efforts
toward a stabilization of produc-
ton, maintenance of wake levels
and supplying industry with vital
information and statistics.

For Lumber Mills

With no marked change in the
production level, lumber orders

able ratio of the previous week
and were approximately 2 per
cent above the cut during the
week ended October IT, it is
indicated in reports from 811
leading hardwood and softwood
mills in the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association.
Shipments of these mills were
6 per cent above their produc-
ton, which amounted to 173,S69,-

Moratorium Speeds
StabiLizatiOn, VieIU

That the beneficial effects of
the moratorium on war debts are
already beginning to be felt is in
dicated by the expectation of gold
to foreign countries, says the
Alexander Hamilton Institute.
This so-called flight of gold,"
made possible by a temporary so
called "unfavorable" balance of
trade, is held no cause for alarm
but merely an indication that
foreign trade is tending toward
normal,
