POSITION
SEEN STRONG
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR


NEW YORK, Dec. II U.N.S0.
The market has been through a
pretty good test as the new week
opens. Reaction dominated most
of last weeks session, and re-
suited both in clearing up the
little speculative froth that de.
veloped on the previous rise and
the over-optimism that was crop
ping out at the same time.
Stocks are apparently in strong
hands, and in a position to re-
spond to good news; but the
heavy tax selling may prevent
much of a rise for a while yet.
Good old Radio common seems
to be getting the works"
Reports that this old bell
wether would be split down in
the pending reorganization plan
is sending a lot of the holders
to the "lifeboats. Once upon a
time this stock, now selling at
SIS a share, was we'll over $10O.
but that was when everything was
going to $1,000. In view Of the
water squeezing process now
underway in the utility business,
it is beginning to look as if COM

get a reverse split, too.

RISE SLIGHTLY

NEW YORK, Oct. "a. GN.SO.
In generally quiet trading cotton
futures moved somewhat higher
today, but the continued lack of
new speculative buying prevented
any sustained advance.
Far Eastern interests were again
in the ring for fair quantities Of
cotton and were joined by commits
sion houses and the domestic
trade. Offerings, particularly those
in the form of hedge sales through
spot firms, were light. New Or
leans and the South sold spar
ingly.
New Orleans wires reported IA
vorable weather in most of the
cotton belt, with plants continuing
to make cotton in many parts and
much of the staple still to be
picked. The only rainfall on the
morning map was shown at Knox
vile, Tenn, and Birmingham, Ala.
Weather was fair to cloudy and
temperatures generally normal.
Noon quotations were 2 to 4
points higher, with December up

March up at 1896, and July up

Banks CooperatingWith u. S.
And Business, Saws Law

Stating that American bankers
are, and have been, cooperating
with the Federal Government and
with business to the fullest extent,
Francis Marion Law, of Houston,
Texas, president of the American
Bankers Association, opened the
first general session of the asso-
cations sixtieth annual conven-
ton here this morning.
MIR. Law pointed out that banks
have been criticized for failure to
function, meaning that they have
not been lending freely, which he
characterized as a misrepresenta.
ton of the true picture. He de-
clared that bankers are not only
willing but eager to make good
loans. He said:
"Superabundant bank credit
is available but the demand for
credit is distreSsingly low. Many
lines of credit put at the disposal
of business men by banks are
lying unused. 1t remains for
business men to shake off their
timidity and uncertainty and to
indicate ability and willingness
to borrow"
Mr.. Law declared there is no
group Of men who more earnestly
desire recovery than the bankers.
He called attention to the ex-
pansion in the use of commercial
bank credit since the middle of
July. During each of twelve
weeks, he pointed out, member
banks of the Federal Reserve
System in 81 leading cities have
shown increases in their loans

on other than security collateral,
the total increase shown being
$318,000,000. Mr.. Law said:
"At this point 1 would like to
emphasize the major import
ance of recapturing our foreign
trade. America has always
produced large SURPRISES, par
ticularly of farm products,
which have no logical outlet
other than through export.
Whatever things are found
standing in the way of regain
ing our foreign trade must be
removed. Hasten the day when
we shall be able to work out
with other important nations
international agreements both
as to trade and sterilization of
currencies. 1t would seem to be
folly for this country to at
tempt to lift itself out of the
depression by its own boOtstraps.
Restoration of Americas world
trade and the return of private
Initiative into active operation
will spell the end of unemploy-
ment and the doom of depres-
SiOn."
Mr.. Law devoted much of his
address to a review of the work
OF the association during the past
II months. He stated that it has
been the endeavor of the present
administration of the association
to maintain with the National
Administration and with the ma
tlonal legislative bodies effective
