EXCHANGE REACTS
IN DULL TRADING
Most of Business in Nature

BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. october 2s.-Stocks
reacted fractionally In dull trading in
todays week end market. A good deal
OF the business was in the nature of
evening-up operations.
In view of what happened between
the Time business was suspended a week
ago today and the reopening of the
STOCK Exchange Monday, spectators
were not disposed to make fresh COM
mitments. The result was narrow
swings, but slight downward trend
Moderate Liquidation.
The market did not seem to be af-
fected much by anything outside of its
own technical position. Doubts as to
the ultimate results of the gold expert
ment and dissatisfaction with current
business reports expressed themselves
In moderate liquidation, but there did
not seem to be any short selling. The
oil stocks were better supported than
the rest of the list, but unable to make
any progress. Gold mining shares
weakened.
Steel stocks were lower, perhaps be-
cause or the failure Of the railway CO.
orolnator and the companies to agree
on price for steel rails. Steel will
give out its third quarter report after
the close on Tuesday next, at the same
Tune acting on the preferred dividend
NO change Is expected in the 50-cent
payment on the senior stock and the
character Of the report will furnish no
surprises. The market is looking to-
ward fourth quarter results for inspira-
ton and finding none.
The wheat market acted as a drag
on stocks, although the agricultural
shares were no heavier than other in
oustr1als. Rails were inactive but not
much changed Recent trafic state
ments have been Disappointing, but
earnings reports have been favorable.
Gold Price Advanced.
The Reconstruction Finance CORPORA
ton again advanced the price it will
pay for gold, this time to s3l.82 an
ounce. which compares with s3l.76 the
day before and is the highest vet
named under the present plan. Whether
that was the cause or not, the dollar
weakened in terms of the franc and of
sterling in the trading on this side II
mad no such effect abroad. Gold in
London dropped to 129 shillings 8
pence, against Isl shillings pence on
Friday, rejecting of course, depreciation
OF the franc against sterling. The rec
suit was value for the dollar. meas
ured by the London price of gold of
66.4 cents and. measured by the Wash.
ington offer of 649 cents. a wide and
confusing discrepancy.

TREND IS STRONG
IN COTTON MARKET
Sharp Advances Made at Opening
of Week Generally Are
Maintained.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 2s.-The buy
ing which followed upon the President S
address of last Sunday evening was
reflected by sharp advances in the cot
ton market here on Monday. After
selling up to 9.48 for December con-
tracts, fuctuatins became irregular, but
advance extending to 9.75 for December
during Wednesdays trading, or nearly
a cent a pound above the low price
reached on the decline of October 16.
The market seemed to meet little
more hedging and realizing at this
level, while the failure of the advance
in gold as reflected by the Washington
quotations, to promote a more aggres-
Sive demand on advances, was prob
ably disappointment to some of the
early week buyers. Reactions were
moderate, however, with December clos
ing the week at 9.64 compared with
9.22 at the close Of the previous week.
The attention of the trade has been
almost entirely monopolized by the fur
ther development of the administration
recovery program and the action OF the
dollar in the foreign exchange mar
kets. The report of the Census Bureau
showing ginnings of 8,605,5 bales
prior to October 18 was a little above
expectations but came in for compare
lively little comment.
Reports reaching here from the South
have continued to indicate that many
growers are holding their cotton from
market either with or without the aid
of the Government 10-cent loans which
became available, in some sections at
least, early In the week.

the past week despite special offerings
at reduced prices.
Women's wear-There Is an active
trade in coats, dresses, but other major
lines are rather quiet, according to job
bing interests. Recorders on coats are
running in good volume.
Office equipment-It Is reported in
dealer quarters that buying continues
on the upward trend Shipments in
some divisions Of the industry are said
to be nearly double those for the cor
responding period last year. Tabulat-
ing machines, typewriters and time
clocks are making a particularly good
showing
Shoe production-There is talk of
early resumption Of full operating
schedules in leading manufacturing
centers, based on an increasing volume
of orders.
Cotton goods-Textile circles hear
that production Is being curtailed to
some extent owing to falling of in
forward bookings at the mills, and to
the reluctance of manufacturers to pay
professor taxes on cotton to be used
in making up stock goods.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, October 28.-Brokers to-
day believed that current developments
favored further upturn in stock prices.
Hamershlag. Borg & Cove would
not be surprised to see a further bidding
up of prices.
Munds, Winslow & Potter.-Stocks
may be confidently accumulated on
basis of strength in the commodities
and the anticipated accompanying up
turn in business.
Frazier Jelke & Cove think the
intermediate swing in both stocks and
commodities now is upward, but that
for a while at least traders and in
vestors are likely to be temperate in
their commitments.
jackson Bros, Boesel & Co.-The
market is now in process of consolidat-
ing the sharp run-up which followed
the Presidents gold announcement and
backing and filling movements are
therefore to be expected.
Hornblower & Weeks-Infationa
prospects, rather than reports on in
dustrial activity, continue to dominate
market sentiment.

INTEREST
IS D|SALLOWED
Federal Reserve Board
Makes Ruling Under 1888
Banking Act.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


The Federal Reserve Board has ruled
that on contracts made since June Is,
member banks may not pay interest on
time deposits in excess Of the maximum
rate after October 81.
The banking act of 1893 directed the
Federal Reserve Board to limit by reg
ulation from time to time the rate Of
interest which may be paid by member
banks on time deposits, and authorized
the board to prescribe different rates
for such payment on time and savings
deposits having different maturitieS or
subject to different conditions by reason
of different locations. Under the act.
no member bank may pay any time
deposit before its maturity or waive any
requirement of notice before payment
of any savings deposit except as to all
savings deposits having the same re-
quirement.
In reply to a query addressed to it,
the board ruled that in view of the
fact that member banks which issued
certificates Of deposit or entered into
other time deposit contracts subsequent
to June l6. 1888, did so presumably
with knowledge of the provisions OF the
banking act Of 1888 requiring the Fed
eral Reserve Board to limit by regula-
ton the rate of interest which may be
paid by member banks on time deposits.
such certificates and contracts must be
considered to have been made in con-
temptation of this requirement of the
law and with notice that the rate OF
interest provided therein would be sub
ject to change to conform to the rate
to be prescribed by the board
Accordingly, the board expressed the
opinion that member banks may not
pay interest accruing after october 81,
1898, at rate in excess of that pre-
scribed in accordance with certificates
CO contracts which were entered into
after June l6, although such certificates
or contracts provide for the payment
of interest at a rate in excess OF that
prescribed in the regulation.

fulfills in practice its obligations
towards its class and towards the
laboring masses. To admit a mis-
take openly, to disclose its reasons,
to analyze the surroundings, which
created it, to study attentively the
means of correcting this mistake
these are the signs Of serious
party, this means a performance of
its duties, this means educating and
training the class and consequently
the masses"
Our enemies, alas, can get little
consolation from this Communist
practice of self-criticism, for it is a
powerful weapon in cleansing our
ranks of bourgeois influences for the
struggle against capitalism and its
loyal servitors-whether white or

SUPPORT URGED
FOR CONFERENCE
OF NEGRO YOUTH
Vel. Backs Chicago
Meet June 1923

NEW YORK.-The national COM
mittee of the Young Communist
League has issued a statement en-
dorsing the cali for an International
Negro Youth Conference in Chicago,
from June 20 to %. The conference
was initiated by the Negro youth
movement in Chicago. Its purpose, as
stated in Its call, is to plan action on
the problems of economic insecurity,
lynching, segregation and the atti-
tude of Negro young workers towards
war. The call of the Y.C.L. asks that
all youth organizations arrange to
send delegates to this conference.
The call, addressed to The Com
mittee for the International Negro
Youth Conference and to all Negro
and white young workers and stu
dents, follows
THE National Executive Commit
tee, in the name of the Young Com
muniSt League of the United States
says together with you: THE time
has come for concerted ACTION by
the Negro youth of the world. Too
long have we accepted economic, So
cial and political slavery" That is
why we heartily greet and endorse
the call for the International Negro
Youth Conference.
Growing Liberation Movement
1--WE see in this action, initiated by
Negro youth, another link in the
growing liberation movement of the
oppressed Negro people in the United
States and other parts of the world
Life itself,-eXtreme poverty, dis
elimination, lynch-law, national OPP
preston, and the growing determi-
nation TO find way out, gave birth
to this Conference.
The Young Communist League is
an organization of Negro and white
youth. 1t is the youth organization
that leads in the struggle against the
special oppression Of the Negro youth,
knowing clearly that this struggle can
only succeed if both Negro and white
youth are modified and united That
is why the Young Communist League
wages bitter fight against all poi
sonous "whits-superiority" ideas
among the youth who are still under
the divide and rule" influences of
the ruling class.
Unite Negro and White Youth
Therefore, we especially greet the
decision of the Conference Commit
tee to also invite white delegates
This act will certainly help the white
youth to better see and understand
the problems of their Negro brothers
Most important, it will be a real step
in cementing the growing unity OF
the Negro and white toiling youth
and students, which is the decisive
thing in the struggle for Negro eman-
cipation,"
