chased for bull market running into
the Labor day period. The big trad
ers have taken advantage of the
fright caused by the proposed regula-
ton of the Stock Exhange to buy sea-
soned stocks thrown overheard by the
public.
While some of the major lines Of
business show recession from the
seasonal highs. the outlook for re-
tail lines continues favorable.
A study of the situation discloses
that, eliminating the year 1929, when
O,183 ,0O0,t 100 worth of new securi-
ties was issued, there has been an
annual average of new issues, prior
to 1882, of $4,000, 100000 to absorb
the available investment money. This
gives an idea of the large amount of
idle funds awaiting investment.
OF course, all of this tends to indi-
cate a lower yield on Al investments.
Anticipating such a development
later on, some of the big investment
trusts have taken advantage o. weak
ness in the general market the past

BANKS EXPECTED
TO WIN APPROVAL
Of STOCK DEALINGS
Predicted Ruling Would Be
Reverse of Earlier
Attitude.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,

Member banks of the Federal Re-
serve System probably will be per-
mitted after all to buy and sell stocks
for the accounts of their customers,
under section Is of the banking act
of 1888.
Such ruling is expected from the
Federal Reserve Board within the
next few days, it was learned from
an unimpeachable source. This would
mean a complete reversal Of a ruling
which is believed to have been reached
by the board previously. In fact, it
was said that at lease one member
bank in the fifth Federal Reserve dis
trict had already received advice
from its regional member that the
Reserve board had interpreted Sec
ton Is of the banking act of 1888
as prohibiting rather than allowing
such transactions.
Officials of the Federal Reserve
Board, admitting the subject is up in
current discussions before 1t. declare
the matter probably will be decided
within the next three or four days.
Some observers say it is likely that
Federal Reserve agents. now meeting
in Washington, will make known the
new decision upon returning to their
respective districts.
At present it is the general custom
for banks to act as agents for their
customers. charging a fee of Sl.50
for handling the purchase or sale.
This fee is in addition to the COM
mission paid to the broker which. Of
course, comes out of the customer
pocket, and which does not concern
the bank.
The reversal would maintain an
important source of revenue to the
banks, as many of the institutions
have conducted considerable business
in this manner.
The banking fraternity, in fighting
an expected prohibition. stressed the
convenience of being able to purchase
and sell stocks for customers, partic-
ularly to that clientele keeping securi-
ties in custodian accounts with the
banks as means of bringing in new
business.
1t was learned that vigorous pro-
tests over the first reported ruling had
been made by leading banks in sew
eral of the largest cities, particularly
New York.

SCRAPPING OF OBSOLETE
SHIPS IS ACCELERATED

By the Associated Press
The Commerce Department reports
that scrapping of old and obsolete
ships was notably accelerated during
the year ended in June, 1888, as a
result of Federal financial aid.
About 100000 gross tons of vessels
were broken up from causes other
than stress of weather and therefore
presumably sold for scrap.
This total, including 714,000 gross
tons sold for scrapping by the Ship
ping Board during the latter half of
1882, compared with 100000 gross
tons for 1882 and 1882 900 gross tons
for 1881. "
