I said IN q matter-of.fact way:
I'VE can scarcely help wondering
about the Lovschiens. You admitted
that your mother might have told them
something. They are here-manaeMS

We've been over all this before, "
said Sue. And, anyway. you have no

CHICAGO, May 20-Wheat values
underwent sharp setbacks today to
about 6 cents under the recent high
points, with corn off around cents.
Stop loss orders were forced into ex-
ecutlon by the price breaks, which were
largely due to indications of improved
weather conditions. Bears In wheat
emphasized that there is a carryover
of approximately $4,000, 900 bushels of
wheat in the United States to be
reckoned with before the domestic mar
ket can be called independent of ex-
port business.
Despite fairly persistent buying for
houses with connections East, wheat
showed little power to rally. The mar
Ket encountered liquidation on the part
OF beiated purchasers on the recent pro-
longed advance, and more than 2 cents
decline soon resulted as compared with
yesterdays finish. Weakness of wheat
was intensified by tumbles of corn
values.
Corn traders appeared to have ex-
perlenced a notable change of senti-
ment. Heavy rains were no longer a
decided stimulus. Downpours in Illinois
ana Iowa last night received only
passing attention. Much more heed was
given to talk from unofficial forecasters
that period OF clear and warm weather
was at hand. Oats gave way with corn
Provisions reflected weakness of
grains.
Wheat closed unsettled, LIS under

cats, 3s34 off, and provisions unchang-
ed to 80 cents decline

NEW YORK, May 20-The cotton
market today came under the heaviest
pressure of the week and prices broke
about 4 cent, ending with loss Of
% to 25 points on the day. Though ac-
tive mill buying occurred on the de-
cline, stop-loss orders on the basis of
S17 cents for October carried prices to
S4l at one time. Spots were reduced
25 points to 825.
There was active commission house
liquidation and a steady stream of SELL
ing orders from the South, where
weather conditions the past few days
have been the most favorable thus far
this season. With the exception of dry
sections of Texas, where moisture is
needed In order to plant, surroundings
in virtually all remaining sections CT
the belt have been ideal for both the
growth Of cotton already in the ground
and for planting operations.
Unsettled conditions in both the
stock and grain markets, together with
reports that one of the largest mill
organizations in New England had
closed down because of labor troubles,
also brought cotton under pressure.
Dry goods quarters reported liberal
sales of prints.

SHR|NKAGE IN BANK
CREDIT REPORTED
Federal Reserve. Members
Affected by Drop During
Holiday.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,

Associated Press Business rWiter.
Resumption Of the weekly condition
statement Of member banks by the
Federal Reserve Board gives the first
official indication of the toll exacted In
Americas banking structure by the
financial crisis early In March.
While the current statement covers
reports from only 90 leading cities as
compared with 1ol reporting cities
prior to the banking holiday. neverthe-% =
less it was learned from the Reserve
Board that the number of banks In
cluded in the report numbered only
between 90 and 25 less than in March
This fact does not necessarily indicate
that banking functions were curtailed
by the inactivities of these institutions,
as their usefulness was preserved in
many cases through mergers, the board
pointed out
Member bank credit was lessened 30
the extent of 81 1905, ,000, 900 during the
holiday, the report showed, as loans
and investments on May 10 had dropped
from $17,823, 100000 in March to $l6.-s
318,000,000. Virtually all of this loss
was in loans which dropped of ST.
423, 900 900 to total So, ,404 900 ,000 Loans
on securities accounted for s519,000,-
600 OF the decrease, while "all other"
or commercial loans declined by $704,-
100000
Investments declined $282 ,000, 900
during the period, all of which was in
securities other than those of the
United States Government.
Member bank reserves carried with
regional institutions showed a nominal
loss of s63,000,0o0 to s1,536, 900 900,
while cash in vault declined $4,000,
900 to S211 100000. --
Net demand deposits, which, under
the Federal Reserve act are those pay
able within 80 days, declined S84, ,000, 900
to s10,509 100000, while time deposits,
which, under the act are "all deposits
payable after 80 days, all savings ac-
counts and certificates of deposit which
are subject to not less than 80 days
notice before payment, and all postal
savings deposits" slumped $970,000, 900
during the period. Government de-
posits were built up by $141 ,000, 900
during the period %
The progress which member banks
are making toward normal conditions
is exemplified in the statement of bor-
rowings from regional members, which
dropped from S48S 000, 900 on March
to only s80,0o0,000 at the close Of

NEW YORK, May 2o-In a quieter

of the active bonds were able to main

that they sold at or near the high

few exceptions among the Public Uttl-
tiles and the oils.
In view Of the usual tendency to
even up commitments on Saturday, this
performance of the market was evi-
dence of its underlying strength.
Some of the new high prices for the
year were made in St. Paul Gold IS

FOR QUARTER REPORTED
BY the Associated Press


The Timber Conservation Board re-
ports the relation of orders to business

able, new business exceeding the output
by SO per cent.
All regions shared in the increase.
which ranged from 13 per cent in the
West Coast region to 140 and 154 per
cent in the Western pine and Northern

New business, however, in the quarter
was Is per cent below that of the cor
responding months of last year, the
