Michigan's banking problems still are
awaiting final adjustment the easement
in the situation elsewhere throughout
the country is expected to bring about
an immediate stepping up of production
schedules curtailed or suspended entirely
last week end in several of the larger
automobile k,nts.
At least C.e producer in the middle
and higher priced brackets was ready
yesterday to resume shipment on cash
basis, and others generally are expected
to do likewise with definite assurances
of the availability Of cash in most dis
tributing centers outside of Michigan.
Pay roll cash also again has become
available with the moderating OF bank
ing conditions in the leading cities
While Michigan banks have not been
able to supply these funds, the leading
manufacturers have arranged to bring
currency in from New York, Chicago
and other points Of deposit.
Among the plants that announced sus-
pension because of the uncertainty of
banking facilities were Buick and Chev-
rolet. Others If not closed down entire

men on the rolls to permit a quick re-

cities, Wall Streets interest has turned
toward resumption Of trading in the
security and commodity markets, per-
haps on Thursday.
Plans for reopening of the New York
Stock Exchange were progressing, 1t
was said, and some activities Of the
Exchange were being restored.
Money Desk Open.
The money desk, at which brokers
arrange their loans, was open and a S
per cent renewal rate for call money

an official renewal charge Of 3lh per
cent on Friday, March 3, the day be-
fore the Exchange closed. Also, it was
the highest since January 6, 1890.
Firmness Of money, bankers pointed
out, was natural aftermath of the
outpouring Of gold and currency which
preceded the banking holiday.

been guiding Stock Exchange affairs
since March further modified its
emergency regulations so as to permit
member firms to make contracts for
tIle borrowing ann lending OF securities.

which is the familiar name for brokers
seeking to borrow or lend stocks and
bonds. was instructed to hold today the
meeting that would have been held on
March 4 had not the Exchange closed.
New York City banks were again
receiving deposits In some volume Al
though no collective figures were issued
on business, the amount deposited in
checks and currency was believed to
be several times the amount OF with
draWals. One downtown bank reported
its receipts at $50 100000. which was
close to a record for one days receipts.
Against this total. the bank said, outgo
was very, very small"
Dollar Exchange.
Dollar exchange was somewhat ir-
regular after Mondays sharp rise. The
pound sterling and the French franc
advanced moderately against our cur
rency. though some of the European
gold monies were still heavy. Foreign
exchange dealers pointed out that re-
sumption of dealings Monday. on a

FOR SHORTS PLANNED
Stock Loan Crowd in Wall Street
Seeks Settlements Prior to
Exchange Opening.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, March 14-Richard
Whitney, president Of the New York
Stock Exchange and chairman of the
Emergency Committee of Seven, at
present ruling the institution, presided
today at the opening of the stock loan
crowd, which started its one-hour ses-
sion at 10 o'clock. It was expected to
issue a ruling on prices to be paid by
the shorts for borrowing stocks.
The loan crowd is holding its first
session so that bears who were short Of
securities before the close on Friday
March 3, might arrange settlements
prior to the reopening of the exchange,
which may take place within few days.
The money post on the floor OF the
stock exchange likewise was open to
arrange for loans. Leading lending
banks late Monday were quoting call
money at per cent. 1t will be recalled
that on February 81 an abundance of
call money could be obtained around
112 per cent.
Meanwhile, stock exchange houses
continued such routine procedure as
making comparisons and deliveries.

the two stock exchanges came along.
As the head of this unit reached the
reviewing stand q different note arose
from the line. It sounded very much
like boo" Quickly it very definitely
became boo, and for eighteen minutes
that boo dinned into the ears of the
city's chief executive, spelling an other
wise perfect afternoon and evening.
Wherefore those boos? Because the
mayor has recently been engaged in
an effort to balance the budget of the
City of New York, and one of the plans
proposed-not by him, but by another
whose project he has approved-is a
tax upon stock transfers of four cents
share. This proposed levy has greatly
disturbed the stock exchange au-
thorities and the brokers and they are
now contemplating removal of their
headquarters to Jersey City to escape
this impost. Hence the boos.
Later Mayor O'Brien expressed him.
self vigorously on the score of the
booing. He said: The action is dis
graceful, especially on an occasion like
this; not only is this an insult to the
President and the N. R. A.. but to Gen
Johnson" But Gen. johnson did not
take it thus. He was delighted with
the demonstration. Perhaps he did not
hear the boos. To the mayor. how
ever, those boos were an unpleasant
reminder of similar sounds which
reached his ears at sporting event
some weeks ago and on other occasions
when there was no fiscal question at is
sue. Those earlier boos so disturbed the
Tannany leaders, then contemplating
the denomination of the mayor, that
they hired a corps of expert sound
measurers to ascertain whether there
was any marked feeling of protest
against another term for the successor
to Mayor Mckee, himself successor to
Mayor Walker. These chieftains finally
concluded that the boos were not
ominous of widespread public dissent
and decided to take chance on a
denomination.
So the booS that resounded during
these unpleasant eighteen minutes of
yesterdays parade were quite enough
to disturb the mayors calm, even
though they were promoted by feelings
of specific dissent to proposed financial
measure. And probably they CORE
spondingly cheered the heart of former
Representative La Guardia, fusion can

Notwithstanding the enormous majority
