time this season, replacing the
Pittsburgh Pirates. Past perform

of .265, and they rank fourth in
club fielding at 1863. Excepting the
excellent work of Lonnie Warneke
and Guy Bush, their pitching has
not been above the 500 mark.
But Hornsby has inspired his
men with a fighting spirit that
makes them loom as the outstand-
ing contenders for the pennant, in
the opinion of close observers of
the game.
The Cubs wrested the lead from
the Pirates yesterday by an to /
victory over the Reds, while the
Pirates dropped a to decision to
the st. Louis Cardinals, who ad-

the idle Phillies.

MUSHROOMS are ideal for the
A'A first warm spring days when

creating savory and delectable
dishes. Mushroom paste and mush-

account of their concentrated
flavor.
Fresh mushrooms are plentiful
and cheap this year and are being
brought into our local markets
several. times a week from nearby
mushroom farms, so most of us
can enjoy the fresh product rather
than the bottled or dried one. Gull
tivated mushrooms are safe to use
and are of delicious flavor. so. nm
less you are an expert, don't take
chances on gathering field mush-
rooms and being made i'll from
eating them.
Unless mushrooms are very
dirty and sandy. they should not
be washed. They are very delicate
and water tends to destroy their
flavor as well as make them tough.
When preparing them for table
use, separate the caps from the
stems and peel the caps if their
skin is tough. The stems are often
tougher than the caps and require
longer cooking.
IL mushrooms must be washed,
do it very gently, taking care not

weather contributed to a better volume
in retail trade during the past week,
but other branches of trade and in
duStry showed few tangible signs of
increasing activity, the weekly mercan-
tile reviews said yesterday.
Reports to Bradstreet's from leading
cities indicate that while there has
been a seasonal development of busi-
ness, especially in retail merchandising
the growth has been small and due to
favorable weather rather than increased
purchasing power on the part of the
public
Dun's said that while tangible indi-
cations of improvement continue to be
spread over a rather wide range, in
stances of retrogression are growing
fewer each week. Gains in some
branches of activity are being dimmed
by continued lack of progress in others.

1875 CREDIT BODIES
BORROW U.S.FUNDS
Farm Loan Board Reports
Many New Organizations
Made Loans in 1881.

Many new financing institutions
availed themselves of the credit facil-
tiles of the Federal intermediate
Credit Banks in the last year, says
the annual report of the Federal. Farm
Loan Board, recently transmitted to
Congress. These IL banks served 144
new agricultural credit corporations,
% new live stock loan companies and
% commercial banks which had not
previously established loan and dis
count relations with them. This
brought the total of institutions SO
served since organization Of the In
termediate Credit Banks in 1928, to
987
The board accounts for this increase
during 1881 by citing the large num-
ber of country banks which closed
which tied up not only funds which
farmers had accumulated for the pur-
pose of paying obligations and carrying
on their operations, but also removed
their normal sources of credit. The low
prices received for agricultural COM
modities sharply reduced bank deposits
and, moreover, the unsettled banking
situation made it necessary for CONNER
cial banks to maintain substantial cash
reserves. which tended further to re-
strict the amount of credit available
for agricultural purposes.
These conditions focused attention
upon the Federal Intermediate Credit
Banks as an important source of agri
cultural credit Since these banks are
not authorized to make loans directly
to individuals, communities desiring to
utilize their facilities must provide To-
cal institutions so set up and operated
that the intermediate Credit Banks
stock paper for them. The major por-
ton of this type of credit granted by
the intermediate Credit Banks has
been handled by agricultural credit
corporations and live stock loan COM
panies"

1t has been the history of all depres-
StonS that as excess funds accumulate
they are eventually released into the
markets for securities. This is shown
by diagrams dealing with the panics in
1885. 1893, 1896, 1908, 1907, 1914 and
1920-21. In all these periods the ac-

revival in general business as a sequel
The Federal Reserves program now is
based on the experience of other de-
preston periods which has invariably
worked out along the lines that are ex-
pected to be followed as the new credit
controlled policy of the Federal Re-
serve gains momentum.
Present Handicaps.
1t Is recognized that there are han
dicapS in the situation that were not
present in earlier panicS and that these
have tendency to retard the effect of
the Government purchases, though it
is confidently believed they will not up-
set the Federal Reserve plan. The
hesitancy of banks in taking advantage
OF the liberal credit conditions is due
to such factors as the clouded interna-
tional situation, the crisis among the
railroads the possible adoption of GER
tain features of the Glass banking bill
which are regarded as highly objection
able in the financial district; the atti-
tude Of Congress toward the tax meas
ure and the threat of a bonus bill An
other influential factor is the decrease
IN bank deposits by many interior in
StltutlonS, which makes bankers ex-
tremely cautious, both in Negotiating
new loans and in purchasing long term
investments. They are still strongly
convinced that they should maintain a
high degree of liquidity, with the re-
suit that all short term securities to-
day are selling at high premium over
those of longer maturities.

BALTIMORE, May 7.-Rumors of the

nouncement of the election of Robert
G. Merrick as president of the Equitable

Just what banks will figure in the

will play is problematical, but reports
are that negotiations are now under

Baltimore Trust Company and the
Union Trust Company.
