BANKS WOULD PUSH
U. S. FOREIGN TRADE
Ways Being Planned to Aid Ex'
port-Import Banks in
Recovery Steps.

Plans for further cooperation be-
tween the United States Export I'm
port Banks and the American Bankers
Association, were pressed forward at
a meeting here yesterday. Robert F.
Maddox of Atlanta, chairman of the
Advisory Board of the A. B. A. ex-
planned that the banks will handle
foreign business as far az they can, and
in other cases turn over full informa-
tion to the Export Import Bank.
Robert v. Fleming, president of
Riggs National Bank and first vice
president of the A. B. A., took part in
the discussion. The meeting was to
be continued again today for the
working out of many technical details
George N. Peek. head of the Export
Import Bank, welcomed the A. B. A.
plan of cooperation most heartily. He
declared that no bank, however small
of distant from Washington, will now
fail to be aware of what the Export
Import Banks are doing and are pre-

INTEREST RATES
PRESSURE Is SEEN
Estimate Is Made as Result OF
Inflow of Gold From
Abroad.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 24-Fur-
ther pressure in interest rates in this
country was foreseen in banking quar-
tiers as result of the inflow of gold
from abroad. Newly arrived gold
helped to lift member bank reserves,
as disclosed in the weekly Federal Re
serve statements, to an unprecedented
total last week.
Irrespective of budget deficits and
lingering imitation fears, the accumu-
lation of idle capital, as reflected in
the rise of bank reserves, tends to
lower yields on domestic Government
bonds and to smooth the way for new
financing, bond men asserted.
Since estimates of the size of the
current gold movement to the United
States have been raised to S120,OO0,-
900, further increases in reserve were
predicted in banking circles, assuming
the demand for credit and for cur
rency remains constant.

YULE CLUB FUNDS
DUE IN FEW DAYS
Banks to Deliver Checks to
55,307 Thrifty D. c.
Residents.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.


Washington banks are planning for
the distribution in about 10 days OF
an aggregate of $4,362,l60 in Christ
mas Savings Club funds to 55.307
thrifty club members. The checks
are always distributed around the first
of December, making the money
available for Christmas shopping
while the stores are still stocked with
the best possible variety of holiday
goods.
During the past year Christmas
Club members in this city saved an
average of $79 each. Other sections
Of the country averaged only $48 each
in individual accounts, according to
the report from the national organi-
cation which started the Christmas
Club movement many years ago.
The sum total of Christmas Savings
Club funds subscribed in Washington
during the past IL months was con-
siderably smaller than in other recent
years. Perhaps the chief reason for
the drop was the fact that there were
10 fewer banks conducting such clubs.
The depression, of course, was an
other vital factor The Advertising
Committee of the District Bankers
Association, however received high
praise for its part in helping raise the
club total to nearly $4 10000 and
interesting more than $4,000 Wash
ingtonianS in this particular form of
thrift.
Savings Largest in 1882.
The committee which prepared eff
fective cooperative advertising was
headed by Eliot H. Thomson. For
years the Capital has been remark
able Christmas Savings Club city.
The funds saved in this way have
proved great help to holiday trade.
Part of this money has also been de-
posted in permanent savings &C
counts or made possible the payment
of flood of bills due around the end
of the year. The Christmas Savings
Club high point here was reached in
1882, when 1O2,246 washington resi-
dents saved S8,689,575 for Yuletide.
A glance backward presents vivid
picture of the grip the Christmas
Savings Clubs have obtained on
Capital residents. The clubs got their
first real start in 1924 Since then
the number of members and the
amounts subscribed each year have
been as follows:
