Special Dispatch to The aar.
NEW YORK, February IA. Activity
Of the Reconstruction Finance Corpo-
ration furnishes the basis for the hope
now finding reflection In firmness and
resistance to further pressure in the
general securities markets.
Less business failures and expansion
IN bank clearings are two OF the benefits
already accruing from the financial aid
rendered by the Government through
the medium Of the corporation.
Another favorable development is the
organization Of the Realty Stabilization
Corporation, which, together with the
r. r. g. and certain private institutions,
viii make an organized effort to relieve
the metropolitan real estate situation, q
hindrance to economic progress.
A "looeening up" Of the real estate
mortgage situation In this area Is con-
eidered Of the utmost importance In
well informed quarters.
Based on technical conditions and
probable developments this week, moth
ing more than quiet firmness is artici-
peted for the stock market.
Declaration Of the regular dividend

graph Co. and formal announcement Of

transportation already have been dis

contain elements of unpleasant surprise
they are not expected to have much

BANKS IN MICHIGAN
TO MAKE AVAILABLE
PART OF DEPOSITS
Action Would Alleviate Situa,
ton Created BY Eight-Day
Suspension

Detroit, Feb. 15.-(R)-Going into
the second day Of the extraordinary
bank holiday proclaimed Tuesday By
Governor william A. Comstock, Mich
igan's 100000 bank depositors were en-
Outraged Wednesday by promises thai
part Of their balances would become
available by Thursday.
The Federal Reserve bank of De.
troit, which remains open, Is receiving
millions of dollars that are beinc
poured In from branches Of the fed.
eral reserve system In Chicago and
New York.
Forty million dollars was on hand
Wednesday and the Detroit Clearing
House association arranged to make
SIS 000, 900 available to depositors
Thursday. That will permit custom
ers to withdraw not in excess Of pc.
cent Of their balances for emergency
purposes before the end Of the eight
day holiday.
It seemed a certainty that some
such plan would be put into effect fol
the remainder of the state, although
it was not determined whether II
would be by gubernatorial proclama.
ton or by voluntary action on the
part of the banks.
In a series of conferences Tuesda,
night, representative bankers urget
upon Governor Constock the issuanc,
Of supplemental proclamation au
thorizing emergency Withdrawals W
to 10 per cent of balances.
The governor, however, urged vol
Lntary action. He said that "whil,
my proclamation declaring a banl
holiday was mandatory, it is not m.
disposition to prohibit any bank from
making a sensible arrangement Il
permit Withdrawals to meet family
necessities or to allow the cashing Of
pay checks, and believe many will d.
this"
Depositors whose $500, 100000 ii
bank balances were tied up, accepted
the situation philosophically. Conf.
dence was expressed that the eight-day
respite would permit q sound adjust
ment of the Union Guardian Trust
company's financial difficulties. These
precipitated the drastic action.

ALLOTMENT BILL IS
GIVEN TO SENATE
IN REVISED FORM
Applies Only to Wheat and Cot
ton; Acreage Reduction Is
Stricken Out

Washington, Feb. l5.-(P,-The do
nestle allotment farm relief plan was
favorsibly reported to the senate We'd
nesday by It's agriculture committee
after more than a month Of hearings
and discussion.
As reported, the bill contained ma
jor alterations from the form in
which it passed the house. 1t was
confined to wheat and cotton, while
provisions for acreage control and for
defining pre-war parity between agri-
cultural and commercial commodities
were stricken out.
The committee approved the revis-
ed bill by a vote of II to 4.
Senator Bankhead (Dem, Ala), af-
ter considerable discussion. withdrew
an amendment proposing to substitute
for the allotment provisions respect
ing cotton q plan whereby cotton pro-
duction would be restricted to stat
ed amount each year.
The committee eliminated five Of
the seven commodities contained in
the bill passed by the house. These
are hogs. tobacco, rice. peanuts and
dairy products.
Most senators said privately the
bill had no chance for enactment this
session as a Hoover veto Is considered
virtually certain and the measure Is
regarded as too controversial to be
decided in the short time remaining.
It provides in general for a process
ing tax on the miller of wheat and
the spinner or other purchasers OF
cotton.
Out Of this money the farmer would
be paid an amount sufficient to bring
the price he receives up to the 1909
1914 average price of the commodity.
This benefit would be paid only on
the amount of his production which
goes into domestic consumption.
The acreage control features strick-
en- out have been described by farm
organization leaders as the heart OF
the bill.
They contended that to increase the
price without requiring decreased pro-
dnction would but aggravate the sur
plus problem.
To receive the adjustment" pay
ment under the house bill q farmer
would have had to reduce his acreage
20 per cent below the previous year
The provisions have been attacked
on the ground they would require q
large federal police force to check up
on acreage cuts.
Chairman McNary said he had rec
commended that the acreage control
section be eliminated because Of the
difficulty Of enforcing acreage reduc-
lions.
