NEW PUSH SEEN
DUE SOON IN
MARKET
BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, Sept. 20 Q.N.SO.
The stock market had a serious
rival in baseball yesterday, yet
stocks did very we'll.
Buying was persistent and ap-
parently few stocks were for sale.
Tape action suggests that there
will be another effort to push
stocks up before the weekend.
Dozens of Stories
Of course, there are dozens Of
stories around about a big move
starting this afternoon, with
some having it timed to the
minute.
Our suggestion is to watch
wheat. for stocks right now are
obviously abnormally sensitive to
the fluctuations in grain.
There has been good buying in
wheat on large scale for several
days. And corn, too, for some
smart people consider corn rela-
lively cheaper than wheat.
One important Eastern group
that had been bearish on wheat
is understood to have gone long
of 100000 bushels yesterday.
Business Doing Better
Leaving the stock market out,
business has been doing better,
but it is going to need a stimulus
before long.
A rise in commodity prices will
put the purchasing power right
where it is needed. It may be
minute individually, but in the
aggregate it represents a big per-
centage of the population.
Wheat may be the speculative
pet, but don't forget cotton.
There has been smart buying
here for some time.
Chicago Crowd Busy
Activity in stocks like Mont
gomery Ward and Sears-Roebuck
suggests that the Chicago crowd
is getting quite busy. This
naturally starts stories about
Arthur Cutten, Chicago's out
standing trader.
One Of yesterdays rumors was
that England was going back on
the gold standard. The more
specific gossips insist this will
take place next Tuesday.
Action of American Telephone
suggests that better market will
bring a loU of covering; and U. S.
Steel, too. There are lot of
oull tips around on General
Motors.

BY LEWIS HANEY
professor of Economics,
New York University

The changes last week in the
position of the banks are in
teresting.
Total credit extended, as mea-
sured by loans and investments,
increased 374 million dollars. Did
this mean business expansion
and commercial borrowing?
BY no means. The increase in
bank credit came entirely in in
vestments. Did these investments
represent purchases of corporation
bonds which would give funds to
business?
Not at all. The entire increase
in investments by the banks was
in Government securities. In
connection with Government fl
nancing, the banks took on 422
million dollars in "Governments." "
It seems that the chief function
of banks these days is to help
finance the Government. Ger
tainly bank statements are most
affected by that factor.
Business Credits Shrink
When you compare the mem
Der bank statement now with
that of a year ago, you find their
loans down nearly 312 billion
dollars. Their investments in
Government securities are
427 million dollars less than last
year.
But the investment in Govern
ment securities is actually over
three-quarters of a billion larger.
Chat is for the reporting banks
aloneD
To me, this fact speaks eloquent
ly of the great expansion Of Gov
ernment credit or debt. and shows
how that has become the chief
factor in our financial structure.
Just a Merry-GO-ROund
First the Government goes into
business with its Farm Board
and Reconstruction Finance
Corporation-to say nothing Of
its other waSteful expenditures.
1t becomes a heavy borrower,
forever issuing notes and bonds.
The Reserve Banks are then
dragged in, and are depended
upon to buy large amounts Of

BANKSTUDENTS
SET RECORD

Washington bank employees are
showing lively interest in their
business development by joining
in record numbers the educa-
tional classes conducted by the
local chapter of the American In
Stitute of Banking.
Robert H. Lacev, chairman Of
the educational committee reports
that, with the register open until
October 4, registrations already
exceed 300, as compared with
total entries of 286 last year.
At joint meeting of the mem
bership committee and the board
of consuls at the chapter rooms
last night. plans were formulated
for an intensive membership drive
by the chapter. This is not con-
nected with the enrolment of
students but is to secure ad-
ditional membership among bank
officials and directors.

Haney Finds Credit Strain
In Federal Borrowing

Government paper. 1t is just
turning Government debt into
Reserve Bank credit.
This may be done by issuing
Reserve notes or by selling the
Government paper to the member
banks, which then borrow on
them at the Reserve Banks or is
sue bank notes on them.
Credit is Squandered
It is a fearful and wonderful
circle, all based on credit, the
chief item being Government
credit.
Meanwhile the Government pro-
ceeds to squander the credit in
loans to insOlvent railways and
to the starving Chinese"
Personally I would rather
make a loan to someone who was
responsible for its liquidation
than to make these "self-liquida-
ting loanS!" Loans just don't
liquidate themselves. They need
someone back of them.
Well, is the burden of debt
being reduced by all this or is
debt being merely shifted around
and postponed?
1t looks to me as if the game
is to juggIe things about so that
in the end the great debtor will
be found to be the Government,
and that means us middle class"
citizens and taxpayers.
Profits for Financiers
Probably, in the end, Govern
ment debt (bonds) will be marked
down. Then the tinanciers will
buy them up cheap.
Then wave of patriotic hula
baloo to save the nations credit
will be engineered, and we tax
payers be put to work to mark up
the value of the Government
bonds again-to the enrichment
of the financierS.
It's an old game.

COTTON LOWER.

TRADING

NEW YORK, Sept. 90 GNSO.
Cotton futures today continued
easier on cables that we're 10 to
18 American points lower than
due and on a map and forecast
indicating clearing weather in
the cotton belt.
Trading Is Light
No large blocks of cotton
changed hands and trading was
only moderately active. Spot
houses, the South and New Or
leans did most of the selling.
Observers reported hedge sales
as continuing to be light. Co.
operatives sold in a small way,
this being regarded as hedging
receipts from farmers into the
daily pool.
On the scale down there was
fair support from the trade, in

1 excited. She wheeled and laid a small hand upon his arm. You must not think me silly or unap- preciative but I'm mad clear through. That cad, Graham, put it over on me that he was a college chum of Dudley's and got me out to the car. But for you I'd most likely have stayed tied up and Dad would have had to pay" She smiled up at him so radiantly that Stan became at once aware or ms dust covered clothing, his freckles and his shock of unruly hair.
 Nothing out of the way that l did" he stammered uneasiy.
 "How did you happen to be here? She removed her hand but continued to smile. Stan opened his mouth, then, closed 1t and gripped her arm. T hear a car coming. We'd better hit for cover" With a strong arm he pushed her into the willows.
 He struck through the timber in the direction he remembered the highway to be. A half hours breath less hiking brought them to a main road and Stan Tagged pass ing motorist. Dona was eager to get to a telephone and call her fa- ther before the two missing thugs could send him note. They stop ped at a lunch stand and filling station and Dona rushed inside with Stan at her heels.
 Asper Delo was appraised of the Kidnapping and rescue at the same time. Dona turned from the phone and called to Stan. You haven't told me your name?"
 Stanley Black" Stan lied with out batting a single freckle. He was not going to have Asper Delo hand him the keys to Three Rivers on a platter. He would get his re- port and make the old war horse like it. =
 Ten minutes later he was kick ing himself for what he had done. Her anger gone, Dona Delo was a very alluring, feminine creature. AS she munched hot dog and slipped soda from a bottle Stan thought her the most attractive girl he had ever seen. He made up his mind to tell her so as to be able to see .her again. Of course she was unattainable for one of his standing but he was sure she would be friendly. He just sat and looked at her for what seemed only few minutes. She broke into his thoughts abruptly by leaping up.
 There's dad" With wave of her hand she darted outside.
 II Stan looked through the window and saw Asper Delo striding across the patch of gravel between two red pumps. He watched Dona smo- thered in her fathers arms and saw her take his hand and lead
 him toward the lunch room. With a half smile at the turn of his luck
 Stan slipped through the back door, tossing dollar on the coun-
 ter as he hurried by.
 He's gone!" There was more
 than surprise in Dona's voice as
 she entered the lunch room with her father behind her.
 What's his name?" Asper Dele
 pulled a green-backed memo book
 from his pocket. "I'll mail him a check" He slumped down heavily beside one of the tables.
 His name is Stanley Black but I didn't ask his address" Dona was close to nervous tears now.

down the name. Hell be under foot from now on, don't worry. He and Dudley will be fighting duel.' He squeezed Dona's hand affection ately. This had been hard day and he was tired.
 Dona shook her head. Hes not that kind, Dad. I won't see him again unless I find him."
 Well, haven't time to look him up now. I have to go to Three Rivers on business. A dirty-mouth- ed whipsnapper insulted me not two hours ago and aim to settle with him personally" Asper' spleen rose as he remembered his conversation with MT Ball of Blind River.
 "But you have Swergin at Three Rivers and you've always said he was your most efficient man! You haven't been up there since the work started. Why go now ?"' Dona | protested. She was more interested in locating Stanley Black and re- paying him in a proper manner than in having her father rush off to an obscure timber camp. She felt he would be just the person to handle Stanley Black. They seem- ed to have many traits in common. "Swergin Is all right but this is personal matter" Asper Delo's face began to purple again as he remembered.
 What was it all about?" Dona

 Asper Delo was past words but he was not past action. In the days when he had run his own crews he had ruled with his fists. Now his Viking blood boiled within him. With a resping roar he swung fist at Stan Balls chin. That irritating young man side- stepped with lightning smoothness. Without seeming effort he slid in nearer and in a second Asper De!o was neatly tied with his own big arms holding themselves. Stan Ball showed him back against the desk and his wicked grin returned.
 ''You will fight, won't you? But you ndVenaL ttuc SAAu " tNo JOSA own killing" There was a taunting edge to the words. Breathing heavily, Asper Delo collected himself. He was not lick ed by any means but he realized chat he was no match for the lean youngster who faced him. He shook his fist impotently and re- | treated around his desk.
 You'll never set foot on the Three Rivers cuttings. you lying whelp! We have, that tract inspect ed and the timber checked by a government man and we don't al- 1 low fools meddling with our bus iness." Asper gripped the top of his desk and his words jerked from between his teeth.

With a savage jerk she relieved him of his gun. Stan Ball burst out laughing and his freckled nose wrinkled. until the brown spots danced.
 "You have way with gunmen, Ma'm." He bowed with a flourish of his wide hat, then held out his hand for the gun. Better let a man from the mountains have that gat, Miss"
 They faced each other for a sec ond.. Then the girl joined Stan's laugh with a soft alto voice. "1t Is really funny, isn't it?" She passed him the gun without hesitation.
