ON CURB
RESUME TREND
DOWNWARD
BY THEODORE KOSLOW


NEW YORK, Jan. q Q.N.S0.
The curb market found the line
Of least resistance to be in the
direction of lower levels today,
and in a continuation Of listless
trading, the majority Of active
issues followed a generally down.
ward path.
Losses Are Small
The utility group tended to sag
of their own weight rather than
in response to any undue offer
ings. Declines, however, were
nominal. Niagara Hudson Power
eased "a to a new low on the
move at IA in response to the
dividend cut from a $1.20 to a
81 annual basis.
The Cities Service issues were
in rather steady supply, the COM
mon duplicating its low point of
the current year at 21a for loss
of "a, while the debentures slip
ped to 3634 for a loss Of " point.
Among the specialties, North
west Yeast dropped a point to
100, Horn and Hardart was off
1A at 17A and Stutz Motors lost
p point at 1872. On the other
hand, low-priced favorites held
firm, with Cord Corporation up
"a at 65s, and general aviation
unchanged at 4A.
Trusts Are Lower
Investment trusts were slightly
lower in desultory trading, Atlas
easing 70 to 71a and Pennroad
dipping 1s to ~.
Oils were quiet with Standard
of Indiana holding unchanged at
2034.
Curb bonds were mixed, with
American Rolling Mill 412s back
ing down u point to 651a.

IN WEEK

Washington, though bank clear
1ngs dropped to $16,272,000 in the
week ended January 25, from
$17,528,000 the week before,
made the best showing of any
large city in the Fifth Federal
Reserve area, when comparison
is made with the corresponding
period a year &go. The decline
here, compared with the 1882
week, was 15.9 per cent, while in
Baltimore it was 22.3, in Rich
mond 33.6 and in Norfolk 46.6
per cent.
Clearings of At leading cities,
as reported to Bradstreet's
Weekly, totaied $4,207,777,000 for
the week ended January 25. This
is 1912 per cent below the pre-
ceding week and 17.7 per cent
less than a year ago.
Clearings outside New York
City at $1,460,511, 900 were 1913
per cent less than the previous
week and 20 per cent under last
years total. Washington, D. c.,
cleared $16,272,000 this week,
against $17,528,000 last week, or
a decrease of 1873 per cent from

RESERVE BANKS
2. HOLD STRONG
POSITION

Member banks of the Federal
reserve system were in a strong
position at the beginning of 1888,
with excess reserves of $575, ,000,-
900 and aggregate indebtedness to
the reserve banks of $270,000, 900,
a reduction Of $5S5, 100000 since
last February.
Holiday Demand Light

bulletin it was explained that the
situation has resulted from the
continued reduction Of boarding
and inflow Of gold.
The demand on the reserve
banks for currency during the
holiday period was $120, 900 900, as
compared with $225,000,0O0 to
$275, 100000 for other recent
years.
The diminished dollar volume
Of retail trade, resulting chiefly
from lower prices, was factor on
the smaller currency demand.
Indicating the tremendous liqui.
dation of loans, the board said
that loans and investments of all
banks in the United States, Sep
tember 30, were $45, 1852, ,000, 900, a
reduction of $12,983, 100000 since
October 4, 1929.
Customs Loans Slump
About one-fifth of the decline
was attributed to the elimination
of banks suspending during the
three-year period.
Loans to customers on Septem'
ber 80 were $14,497, 100000, re-
duction of 38 per cent from 1929.
Open market, loans totaled $780,
600, 900, a drop Of 81 per cent.
The investment in United
States securities was $6,366, ,000,'
600, an increase of $2,344,0 900
since 1929.

Railroad, whose spectacular
market coup has given him a
dominating position in the former
Morgan-B a K e Vanderbilt con,

beginning of the long-awaited
business upturn. He said:

begin to climb the hill to
better times. This, of course,
provided that no disastrous un-

Mr.. Sidwell's Golden Anniversary.

Today will be q memorable occasion
in the history of the Friends School.
Its founder and principal, Thomas W..
Sidwell, Is celebrating his golden ami
versary. From far and near his pupils
are returning to pay him homage. An
even larger public seizes the opportunity
to express appreciation and good wishes.
Washington owes TO him the founda-
ton and development of a valued 1nsti-
tuition of the Capitals cultural life.
Established in 1888, the academy at
first occupied but single room in the
old Friends Meeting House in I street.
Co-educational and non-sectarian from
the beginning, Its ideal was ito stress
simplicity, sincerity and friendliness In
its activities and relations" Its
loyalty to that high standard has been
unfaltering. It has grown into the
heart Of the city because Of Its fine
service to the boys and girls entrusted
to its care, trained in its classes, in
spired by its director. To each and
every one of its alumni Mr.. Sidwel has
given something Of himself, some sense
of unpretending confidence, efficiency
and enthusiasm peculiarly his own 10
give.
