Grain Market
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 18-Persistent
selling on price advances developed in
wheat late today, and tended to pull the
market down.
Reports of dust storms in Kansas
failed to act as an offset. Unconf1rmed
rumors were afioat that Japan had been
buying wheat, cotton and scrap iron,
and that China was buying wheat from
Australia.
1t was contended by bulls that the
United States Winter wheat crop situa-
ton presented the greatest possibilities
to induce speculative buying. The fact
was stressed that weather during the
Winter had been such as to suggest
serious further damage since last Fall,
when the condition of the crop was the
lowest on record. Predictions were
made that when the growth season was
reached crop reports would be plainly
of a nature to stimulate aggressive
buying
On the other hand, fears were ex-
pressed in some quarters that any i'm
portant advance at present in wheat
prices would bring about return of
selling pressure which had developed on
bulges of late. This selling has generally
teen attributed by traders to United
States Government financed agencies.
Sharp watch was kept on reports from
soft Winter wheat States. anxiety being
shown lest market effects of crop DIM
age in the hard Winter region would be
emphasized by injury to soft wheat.

New York Cotton

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February 18-As has
been the case for several days, cotton
today displayed pronounced resistance
to pressure and closed with gain of 3
to points on the day. Reports that
the Senate would consider bill for re-
duction of cotton planting by 80 per
cent this Spring influenced sentiment.
Spots were unchanged at 6.l5.
Owing to the limited amount of cot
ton being released by holders in the
South. the daily wants OF users OF raw
material are now being supplied by
dealers rather than by growers, so that
contracts are being taken from rather
than added to the market
Outside conditions were less disturb
ing, in that wheat and stocks showed
q steadier undertone. Talk OF the pos
sibility of currency initiation legislation,
as well as the prospect of early debate
ON the Smith bill. reduced selling pres
sure and 1t was not easy to secure any
quantity of contracts without causing
an advance in quotations.
Reports from dry goods quarters
showed that firmneSS Of raw material
recently has had an encouraging effect
on sentiment in textile circles.
The feature of week end statistics
was a substantial decrease in the visible
supply, which brought the total below
the corresponding date of the previous
year for the first time since 1929. In
the middle of February, 1929, the worlds
visible supply of American stood al
5,597,000 bales, and year ago was
9,572 ,0CO. but is now 9.487 900
Throughout the past four years, both
visible and invisible supplies have in
creased steadily to record figures, but
the tendency now appears to be in the
opposite direction

FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES LEAD
LIST OF MONEY IN CIRCULATION
Increase in Outstanding Currency Laid to
oarding-Variousy Forms of Legal
Tender Described

| 1880. At the end Of that year there
were $1,118,000,000 of gold certificates
cut compared with s60l 900, 900 last
December. The item of gold coin In
use has increased approximately
$100, ,000, 900.
The third largest form of money In
circulation Is made up of national
bank notes, which are about IA per cent
OF the total circulating medium. While
god certificates have been diminishing
IN number and in value. there has been
steady expansion of national bank
notes, which are approximately $780,
100000 more than two years ago.
Other Types of Money.
The types of money that play a
smaller part as circulating medium are,
in the order of their quantity, silver
certificates, $780, 000, 600; United States
notes, s2s4 4,000. 900; subsidiary silver,
$3.50. 100000 minor coins, $4,000 ,00a,
and standard silver dollars, 5000, ,0oS
There are still outstanding $1,000 900 ol
Federal Reserve bank notes and 81 ,0o0,-
600 Of the Treasury notes of 1890. These
last two items have been stationary for
several years. The standard silver dol
lars have been slowly going out of cir
culation and are now at the lowest point
since they were first issued.
OF what might be termed non-legal
money in circu' alton, such as scrip,
there is probably a volume throughout
the United States that would make an
impressive figure. Some day we will
have interesting information ON the ex-
tent to which this emergency money Is
being employed. 1t Is not yet, however,
distributed in the hands of the public

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 18.-The
largest portion OF the increase of
money in circulation this week has
been in the form of Federal Reserve
notes. These represent about 80 per
cent of the total expansion of $149,-
100000. This is in line with what had
occurred in previous periods of raising
volumes of currency during the acute
stages of banking troubles.
The present volume of money In
circulation in the United States total
ing $5,854, 900, 900, exceeds that of any
other period in history. 1t is $40 ,0O0,-
600 greater than when the circulation
figures reached their previous maxi
mum point last July. They had dropped
500, 900, 900 from that date to the end
of 1882, when they stood approximately
the same as on December 81, 1881, but
were S780, 100000 greater than two
years previous. This is evidence that
a considerable portion of the money
withdrawn from banks in the past two
years Is still in boarding. or, as the
bankers say. has been "sterilized."
Expansion in Notes.
There are about a dozen different
kinds of money that are in daily circu-
lation in the United States and are le-
gal tender in all forms of payments.
OF these. Federal Reserve notes con-
stitute at the present time about SO
per cent of all the money commonly in
use. 1t is in this form of currency
that the greatest expansion has occur
red in the last two years.
The next largest units of money
value are gold coins and gold certifi-
Gates. which together aggregate $1,070,-
0o0. 1000, or about 20 per cent of all
money In circulation. There has been
a steady decline In the employment of
gold coin and gold certificates since

SELLING IN BONDS
AFFECTS j. S. LIST
Junior Rails Also Lower, but
Price Recessions Are
Small.
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

NEW YORK, February 18.-Selling
activities were again reflected today in
parts of the bond list, but the general
tone was fairly steady. United States
Treasury issues eased further, but Lib
crty loans showed only minor recessions
from the previous closing levels.
In the secondary rail group trading
was ct slower pace and most of the
Losses recorded were within fractional
limits. The better grade loans were
firm. Santa Fe As, Great Northern 412s
and Pennsylvania 4las, which yielded
under sporadic selling in previous ses-
sions, recovered moderately.
Some of the utilities displayed a sag
ging trend, notably Detroit Edison 4 l2s,
which lost more than point. Inter-
national Telephone g. Telegraph issues
were fractionally better. Western
Union SIS climbed point.
Heaviness continued in the oil group,
with Sinclair 61as and Shell Union SIS
showing losses of nearly point. Other
Industrial loans were without definite
trend. though few of the more spec
ulative type eascd from fractions to a
point on light selling.
Except tor continued weakness in
some CT the Japanecc loans the fore gn
division was steadier. Many small adj
vances were registered through German,
Australian, French and some of the
South American groups.

j. S. BANK ROSTER
SHARPLY REDUCED
Reserve Board Figures Show
Cut of 80 Per Cent in

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board reports
there were 1874 banks of all descrip-
tions in the United States on Septem-
Der 80, 1882, reduction of 9,463, or
30 per cent, since December 81, 1925.
These figures include national banks.
State commercial banks and trust COM
panies. mutual and stock savings banks
and all private banks under State su-
pervision.
Making up the total were 6,904 men,
Der institutions, comprising 5000 ma

bership of 1855 units, consisting Of q
decrease of 1858 in national bank
membership and loss of GIT in State
members. Comprising the remainder
was 1880 non-member institutions,
which represented loss Of 6,878 since
1925. The number Of banks reached
thelr peak In 1921, when there were
10000 institutions, or the equivalent Of
one bank for every 5000 persons.
The reduction has be l caused prin-
cipally by failures. bu. A.so through
members and consultations in the
banking field.
How this reduction in number of
banks has strengthened the entire
banking structure is illustrated by the
Following figures. Today, there IS but
one institution for more than 5000
persons. The average capital stock IN
the present structure is $4,000. as
compared with $205,0O0 when the num-
Der was at its peak, while the present
deposit line averages 81. SOC, 900. or
double the peak average. Total capital
funds today are about $500, 900 600 a
readjustment downward from the hioh
point OF $4,000, 1000, 900, reached In
1880. and $4,000, 600, 900 more than in

Commodity Price
Y Trends of Week
BY III. N. McGu,I,.
Editor. McGln Commodity Service, !,

'oa' MCGin COMMODITY Service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, February 10
All commodities recorded practically
no change during the past week. The
index was slightly under the level of a
week ago, but above the low point
established at the opening of this
month. Out OF IA individual groups,
SIX declined. two advanced, and six re-
main unchanged. In every case price
changes were limited and as a result
higher quotations for live stock and
ferrous metals-nails and barb wire
onset the very moderate decline In tex
leather.
Industrial List.
Industrial prices reached a new low
IN the broad price readjustment, al
though the decline was not pronounced
Production of raw materials as well as
finished goods has shown no DISPOSE
ton to advance. Normally the month
OF February marks the low ebb in the
seasonal decline in industrial produc-
tlon. In the majority of basic lines.
actual output for the year to date is
the lowest for this century. Actual
per capita consumption has not de-
chned In the same proportion as out
put.
Agricultural prices declined. but did
not break under the lows established
earlier in the month. The allotment
plan has been modified. The original
plan called for some control over acre
age and output. The present lineup
does not restrict production.
Live stock prices were one Of two
groups that recorded strength. Cattle
and hogs led the advance. Stocks of
meats and provisions in storage are not
excessive and subnorrnal weights, de-
spite cheap feed, will tend to keep the
production volume limited.
Hides and leather recorded more
weakness than any other group. hides
having broken under the scent level,
now quoted at Az cents. Leathers are
showing sympathetic trend.
Textiles, both fine and coarse. were
lower. Cotton and cotton goods have
shown moderate weakness. while other
textiles have held steady.
Vegetable oils were slightly lower due
primarily to China wood oil and cocoa
nut oil. This group, however. is hold
ing well above the low level established
in the Summer of last year.
The six groups which averaged lower
Tor the week were industrials. agricul-
tural products. hides and leather, tex
tiles-hne and coarse-and vegetable
oils. Live stock and ferrous metals were
the two groups which advanced. All
others remain unchanged.

STEEL PRICE CUTTING
HAS AROUSED INDUSTRY

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February l8.-wall
Street heard today leading steel pro-
ducers were preparing to take concerted
action toward elimination of price cut
ting in the market for steel products.
While no definite plans were revealed,
it was said that steps would be taken
soon to establish a firmer price struc-
ture.
The antitrust laws prohibit price fix
ing. but those who favor the stabiliZa-
ton move are said to feel that price
slashers can be convinced 1t would be
to their advantage to discontinue the
practice.

Houses of "Cotton. "

In search for a cheaper and more
convenient building material, two in
ventors have recently shown models of
what they call the cotton house" The
house is principally of heavy canvas
laid about framework of metal stand
ards. Some of the designs shown were
merely for week end use, consisting Of
a square structure of several rooms
with accommodations for automobiles
under 1t and a roof garden on top.
Other designs are more elaborate and
are meant for more serious use. The
cotton walls are of double thickness
with layer of insulation between the
two and after the material has received
coat Of paint it resists the weather
effectually.
