HOG PAYMENTS
START AGAIN

AAA machinery will start turn
ing again in a few days to dis
tribute the second installment Of
the 1884 corn-hog payments totar
ing about $92.000,000.
This announcement was made
at the same time as Agricultural
Adjustment Administration Off
Gals appealed to farmers to sup
port the 1885 program, which will
call for a 10 per cent reduction
in corn acreage and hog numbers
from the 1928 averages.
Most Of the checks on the first
installment of the 1884 program,
totalling about $129,000,0 900, have
been distributed to producers.
Second payments will be dis
tributed as rapidly as compliance
certificates have been received and
checked in washington. To date
approximately 100000 certificates
out Of the total of 1,150,O00 con-
tracts have been received.
Checks to counties from which
expense statements for the period
July l to December 81 have not
been received will be held up even
though compliance certificates
have been submitted. Checking of
expense statements is necessary
to determine each farmers share
of local administrative expenses,
the administration said.

CURB IMPROVES
DESPITE DROP
IN UTILITIES
Bx THEODORE KOsLOW

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 Q.N.S0.
The curb market gave a some
what better account Of itself
today, although a continuation Of
liquidation in utilities and a scat
tering of miscellaneous stocks
gave the general list highly ir'
regular performance. However, a
tapering off in the volume OF
activity was taken as an indica-
ton that the worst of the neces-
sitous selling had been disposed
of.
The performance of the power
and light group was not quite as
bad as that of yesterday, al
though lower prices predominated.
Electric bond and share, after an
initial sale of 1000 shares at its
1884 low of 73s. recovered to its
previous close at 73s. Nominal
declines were also sustained IN
American Gas and Electric, Brazil
Traction, United Gas and North
ern States Power A. but it was
readily apparent that fairly close
scale.down support was taking
place in these stocks.
A spectacular bulge Of almost
six points in General Tire and
Rubber to 6S1a was the highlight
in the speciality group. Lerner
stores was another strong feature,
advancing ~ points to a new
high at 80.
Metals were generally lower,
with New Jersey zinc off u at
561a. Alcohols and investment
trusts were quiet and little
changed in the main.
Oils were spotty. Cities Service
common moved up Hs to 1b. but
the debentures lost 3s at Al.
Second grade utility bonds con,
tinued under pressure with losses
running to a point and more.

individual is not required to fur
nish the institution with a state
ment of his financial condition.
Bank officials in the past have
frequently diSclaimed knowledge
of the credit standing of their
directors, and in many instances
have been required to obtain this
data from whatever sources avail
able.
In some quarters the impress
sion prevailed that the request for
information on the credit stand
ing of directors was based on pos
sible new legislation to avoid as
nearly as possible a repetition Of
conditions partly responsible for
the banking collapse in March,
1888.
The Senate committees ques-
tionnaire included personal views
as to whether the Secretary of the
Treasury, the reserve banks or a
new central bank should super
wise monetary policies; whether
money should be redeemable in
gold, silver or both and if metal
lie whether the ratio of gold to
silver should be fixed and if so at
what level. Other questions re-
lated to currency management,
the use of the rediscounting func-
ton, branch banking and capital
requirements.

COLD CASES SET
FOR JAN. 8

One hundred billion dollars
worth of gold legislation was
grouped together yesterday by the
United States Supreme Court and
set for hearing on January 8.
This action was taken at the
request of James Crawford Diggs,
the United States Solicitor Gen.
eral.
So important does the Govern
ment consider the litigation that
Attorney General Cummings per-
sonally will argue the cases before
the Supreme Court.
The legislation. passed June S,
1888, set aside the provision in
contracts that payments must be
made in gold.
The suits were based on the
contention that after devaluation
of the dollar payments would be
made in currency worth only
59.06 per cent as much as before.
The Government contends that
the purchasing power Of the cur
rency did not depreciate nearly
that much and that the welfare
of. the many instead of the few
should control.

similar bill. The suit was filed
under the law providing double
indemnity for bank stockholders.
The bill stated the bank, former
ly known as the Central Republic
Bank and Trust Company, still
owes the RFC $7,022,000 on q
loan of June %, 1882, and $52,.
100000 on a loan of October 6,

$30,000,000 was borrowed, and on
the second, $50,000,00O.
The trust company has been in
slow liquidation for two years
and during that time has not
been functioning as a deposit
bank. Its principal liability is
the RFC loan, others having been
paid off for the most part.

Net Worth of Bank Directors
Sought in Reserve Inquiry

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Inquiry
into financia! responsibility of
bank directors has been under
taken by Federal Reserve Board
examiners under instructions from
the comptroller of the currency,
it was aScertained last night.
simultaneously it became known
that heads Of several of the more
powerful banking institutions here
were in receipt of questionnaires
from the Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee for opinions re-
garding governmental banking
functions.
The investigation into the finan.
cial standing of directors seeks
the net worth of individuals who
dominate or exercise control over
the policy of all banking inStitu.
tions in the United States.
Such probes have been con.
Quoted regularly heretofore
through the comptroller's office
The fact that the present exam
ination was left to the Federal
Reserve aroused considerable
speculation in local financial quar-
terS, where it was felt new i'm.
portance was being emphasized on
this phase Of banking authority
because Of developments over the
last few years.
The information requested was
said to include names and ad-
dresses of each director, their last
known assets and liabilities and
net worth. If no such statement
is available, the examiner has
been instructed TO determine
whether any is on file with the
bank concerned.
Some bankers were inclined to
look upon the examination of
their personal credit or that of
their directors as an effort on
the part of the Government to
find possible sources of new tax
revenue. It was also pointed out
that unless a bank has made an
unsecured loan - director, the
