pushed prices ahead ! to 2 points
Immediately following the supreme
courts sweeping decision invalidat-
ing the carrier pension law Monday.
Carrier shares showing gains OF
fractions TO a point or so included

3-4ths, BalimcFe a. Ohio at lis,
Louisville & Nashville at 4Oh,
Southern railway at II, Southern
Pacific at 1875, New York Central

Low-priced carrier bonds became
extremely active after the decision
and gains averaged Ia TO 2 points
for the leaders. Grains responded to
the better tone Of the share market,
but cotton remained indifferent.
Some OF the building issues re-
Sponded to reports that current resi-
dental construction was better than
seasonal. Increasing prices for re-
fined and raw sugar helped the
shares Of this category.
Improvement In the trade outlook
was seen in the April statements OF
Kresge, Woolworth, National Cash
Register and Newberry, all Of which
showed much higher earnings than
in the same 1884 period.
Financial observers were still
studying the congressional situa-
ton with its possible effects on
business and industry generally. The
disposition OF the NRA. the bonus

ton were thought to be long-term
market factors Of the highest i'm

these can be expanded approximately 10 times. to make 20 billions OF

Thus the reservoir Of bank credit has been built high and wide
RESERVE BANKS WILL SUPPORT GOVERNMENT
Consider what has been done 10 protect government borrowing
and how this fits into al the preparations for initiation.

one OF the first steps. Theoretically. formally, legally. the Federal Re-
serge Banks ART independent OF the government. They are owned BY
the 6OO member banks Of the System and we're originally intended to
be purely business financing institutions. Actually they are and always
have been the key TO interest rates. government financing and the
money markets. The law Is being changed; the practice has already
changed.

control TO Roosevelt, through Morgenthau. through Eccles. through Re-
serve Board. through governors Of various banks who agreed to "go
along" The arrangement Is nov in process Of being legalzed by bank
ing legislation
Actually. practically, the Reserve Banks will uphold the govern

be expected to do: Stand by to support the government bond market
by open market purchases Of government bonds. or otherwise Work
toward lower interest rates. Aid future refundings of public debt po-
tentialy highly inflationary). Pump deposits into commercial banks
through open market operations whenever these deposits are needed.
Thus public debt can be run still higher by the government with

from Federal Reserve Banks. Now Reserve Bank may discount only

administration policy, but 1t dovetals with the governments policy Of
creating mass purchasing power. The bonus payments win stimulate
BUSINESS. True. the bonus payments In 1891 did not make much Of an
