WHAT STOCKS DID
BY VICTOR EUBANK.


NEW YORK, May 25.-The stock
market enjoyed a creeping advance
today and prices of various leaders
recorded gains Of l to or more
points. The list was steady through
out and rallying tendencies appeared
in the latter part of the session.
Notwithstanding the upward slant,
however, extreme dullness prevailed.
The close was firm. Transfers ap-
proXimated $4,000 shares.
Despite labor clouds and indecisive
Washington developments, sentiment
seemed to have improved moderately.
Word from the Capital that the
Senate-House conferees apparently
were deadlocked on the exchange
control bill may have engendered
some optimism. General Electric and
other companies declared regular
dividends.
Wheat jumped 3 cents a bushel
and other grains developed strength
on further adverse reports from the
drought-stricken districts. Cotton,
silver and rubber improved Bonds
/ were somewhat mixed and foreign
exchanges showed negligible fluctua-
tions
While some share gains we're
shaded just before the close, Case

CROWLEY DEFENDS
GUARANTY BOARD
Explains Unusual Situation
in Restricted Basis of
Pittsburgh Bank.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,

Leo T. Crowley, chairman of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora
tion, today asserted his agency lacked
jurisdiction to act in the case of the
Bank of America Trust Co. of Pitts
burgh, a member of the corporation,
which is now operating on a restricted
basis.
The bank in question was placed on
a restricted basis about month ago
and has unsecured deposits of about
S350.00O involving approximately 5000
accounts.
due to a peculiar State law
Crowley said, I'VE are entirely without
jurisdiction in this case. In Pennsyl-
vania. directors of an institution, with
the consent of the State banking au-
thoritieS, may place a bank on a re-
Stricted withdrawal basis Technically,
ard legally, a bank has not failed
until a receiver has been appointed
Moreover, the Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corporation has no jurisdiction
to act until member bank has failed.
I'VE have documents signed pursuant
to a national bank charter to assume
and make available the insured de-
poSit liabilities of the bank; all pro-
visions have been made, and We are
ready to pay the depositors of the
Bank of America Trust Co. if and
when the institution is placed in
liquidation by the State banking au-
thorities But until this is done We
are powerless to act" he concluded.
Crowley revealed his office had been
deluged with inquiries from coast to
coast from persons under the impress
sion the institution had failed, seek
ing advice as to when its affairs would
be liquidated.
