A well known horSeman said recently
that if you live in town you probably

But If you live in the Virginia fox

Nation fairly teens with hunters and

the increase but there are more race
horses on the tracks and in the making
than ever before despite the long de-

Mr. Thomas Hitchcock, sr., an
authority on the subject, would doubt
less say there are at least twice as many
hunters and jumpers as there were,
say. In 1910. There are more saddle
horses of all classes than ever before
This is due to the large number of rich

NEW ENGLAND TO STAND BEHIND ROOSEVELT ON
 BANKING LEGISLATION
N E. Council Puts Itself on Record to This Effect at Opening of Twenty-eght Quarterly Meeting in Providence To-day

Providence, F. l., March "A - New England business must stand by the chief executive in support of sound money, sound banks and the national credit" President Henry D. Sharpe of the New Eng land Council declared here in his opening address at the Twenty eighth quarterly meeting of the council.
 "Now that the banking crisis is past and our national policy has been defined" President Sharpe declared, 'I feel that there is only one position that New England business can and should take in re- spect to our banking and currency. That position is to stand squarely behind the president in the course he>has laid down and is now pur- suing.
 "There is nothing more funda- mental to capitalistic industrial society than it's circulating medium and its banking structure. Any im- pairment of our money will strike at the very vitals of New England's s economic organism.
 Therefore, in the weeks and months to come, as occasion may require. we should impress upon our senators and representative at Washington the fact that regardless of party or personal views, New England demands and expects that they shall stand by the chief ex- ecutive in support of sound money, sound banks, and the national credit"

 Declaring that the major project of the New England Council at this time is the reduction of public ex- penditures in New England com munities and states. President Sharpe reviewed the two years program of the council in this field and declared that it has proved of the greatest benefit to all business throughout New England.

CUMMINGS NOT
 EXCITED ABOUT
 HARTMAN CASE

Washington, March 24-tUP)- Members of the senate banking committee to-day considered pos sible inquiry into a justice depart- ment order in the closing months of the Hoover administration which allegedly delayed prosecu- tion of Joseph W. Hartman. presi- dent of the closed Hartman Ma tional bank of New York. Harrl- man is now under bond on charges of falsifying the banks records.
 Chairman Fletcher already has ordered the banking committees counsel. Ferdinand Pecora to pro- ceed with an investiga tion of the banks operations. Results of thls inquiry, Fletcher said, probably will determine whether the com mittee looks into the supposed jus tice department order.
 Attorney General Cummings said prosecution of Hartman was held up in December or order of Hoov- CT administration officials, but he did not criticize the action. Things like that must be judged in the light of the delicate state of finan- cia affairs" Cummings said. add ing that prosecution might be de- ferred and still he effective within the statute of limitations"

 Stocks were dull to the point of almost complete stagnation. Deal- ings in the morning were slightly more active than in the afternoon. In the former period prices were depressed when American Tele- phone broke 2H points to a new low for the year at 92A.
 Telephones break followed re- cent reductions in dividends of it's subsidiaries. Those cuts .presaged, according to traders, a correspond ing reduction in the Telephone di- vidend. Some estimates were that the payment would be reduced from q $9 to q $7 annual basis.
 The whole list eased off with American Telephone although on a more moderate scale. Telephone later rallied about a point and others came up with it, until the

BRITISH BLAME | U. s. FARMERS FOR WAR DEBT DELAY
Tillers of Soil Assume Im=
 pOrtant Role in Con- ferenCeS
By HERBERT MOORE

Cnitcd Press StaH Correspondent.
 London. March S-(UP)-Thc U. s. farmer has come to the court of King George!
 War debt discussions between Great Britain and the United States have revealed the fact that the farmers of the American Mid- dle West are likely to block any final settlement which President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald may be able to negotiate.
 As result, people over here have developed a deep interest i'll American farmers. Their curiosity has become so intnese that sort of symbolic image of the average Middle West farmer has been en- visioned.
 "Very Ignorant"
 enerally, this imaginary American farmer is considered to be "very ignorant This belief is back of the widespread official ef- fort to "educate" the American farmers now being made by the British government. In fact, Great Britain now appears to believe that, by talking direct to the American farmers, the change of political opinion which gradually will bring Congress to okay what ever Roosevelt decides to concede to the war debtors will be ob- tained.
 The industrial East and much of the South are believed to be favor able to an immediate final settle ment for Great Britain. The farmers, however, are represented as being hostile.
 Seek Cooperation
 It is declared the American farmer must be given something to compensate for his sacrifices in the event of final war debt set- tlement. How to win his cO-opera- ton in the forthcoming nego- tiations Is the big problem. as the British see it.
 Some are inclined to think that, after all. Great Britain might agree to take more U. $. cotton and wheat and fruit if it could be arranged without contravening the Ottawa agreements.

JUDGE RAPS RECEIVERSHIP FEES PLAN
German Bonds Fell From 1 To z Points
 In Market To-day
StandstiI-MOrning Deals Were More Active Than Those in Afternoon

i market had an irregular appear ance. There was hardly any change in the price level through the afternoon when dealings were at an almost irreducible minimum. Other markets were quiet with stocks. On the bond market, the German issues provided lively feature. Their vide open break was plainly caused by the uncer- tainties surrounding the new Ger. man government with Adolph Hit. Ter in the role of dictator. Rail- road bonds reacted, while raiI | stocks held fairly we'll near the previous close. United States gov ernment issues were down small amounts after recent sharp ad- vances.
 Wheat closed at or near the highs of the session with new gains of 1-8 to 1-2 cent bushel. Other grains followed 1t up and closed lures were steady around previous closing levels. Silver was lower. The rally in wheat brought the Harvester shares up in the late stock trading. Case touched A of 2 1-S and the. made up all the loss. International Harvester also petted Small gain in the late dealings. Mail order shares were steady to firm.
 There was nothing in the news to bring stock market decline, according to observers. The week. ly Federal Reserve report revealed drop of $661,O00,0O0 in money in circulation and gold continued to come out of hiding in large amounts. Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, in its weekly bushes review found business proceedings with more vigor as spring activity spreads. That organization characterized the transformation from pessimism to optimism in trade circles since the end of the bank holiday as little short of miraculous"
 Washington dispatches indicated that railroad legislation would soon be taken up. That aided the car rier shares. In any reorganiza- tlons, the bond holders might be asked to make concessions hence, the decline in some of the carrier bonds. Railroad earnings for Feb ruary now coming to light made a poor showing, and the weekly car loadings report to be issued tomor- row is expected to show only a minor increase over the previous week.
 Sales to-day totaled approx imately s40,000 shares against 890,00O shares yesterday.
 Dow-Jones preliminary averages were: Industrial, 57.93 off 0.13; railroads, 28.41 up 0.07; utilities 21.30 off O.07.
