NARROW
BUT MOSTLY
HIGHER

NEW YORK, Dec. % 0.N.SO
While the curb market remained
at irregularly higher levels in later
morning dealings today, the list
was quiet and price changes in
all divisions minor. Metals were
consistently higher but all other
groups were mixed.
Reopening of Nevada properties
of Consolidated Copper Mines
again boosted the issue fraction
ally on good buying, to within hs
point of the years high. Newmont
advanced q point on higher cop
per prices. Hecla and New Jersey
Zinc improved. Further profit tax,
ing depressed Evans WalloWer
Lead prefewed.
Oils were mixed and quiet.
Creole and Louisiana Land were
making some headway on the up
side, but Gulf, which is eX-dlVi-
dend 100 per cent stock as we'll as
the cash payment, slipped almost
a point in addition, to sell at Sd.
Fractional gains were character
istic of the power division. Electric
Bond and Share more than erased
a slight decline. United Light and
United Gas issues improved. Amer
ican Gas & Electric climbed q
point while Commonwealth Edison
lost as much.
Pittsburgh Plate Glass and Pep
perell Mfg. showed losses OF q
point. Cooper Bessemer, American
Airlines, Tubize Chatillon issues
and American Cyanamid B regis
tered fair sized fractional gains.

BANKERS STATE
PRINCIPLES

NEW YORK, Dec. ga state
ment Of principles of commercial
banking, sponsored by the Amer
lean Bankers Association, was
made public here in an announce
ment by Tom K. Smith, president
Of the association.
The aim of the statement, which
was prepared by the bank man
agement commission and approved
by the executive council of the
association, is declared to be tx
summarize the fundamental re
lationships and responSibilitie!
which exist between the CONNER
cial banks and the public.
Mr.. Smith said:
"a most gratifying response is
coming from the banking fra
ternity regarding this statement
which, in my opinion, is one of
the most important documents
which has been issued by bank
ing in the endeavor to bring
about a better understanding
of its aims and principles on
the part of the public.
"NO business or profession has
ever come to the public with a
clearer statement of the tested
and accepted fundamentals of
sound principles relating to its
practice. 1 believe that wide
distribution of the statement
among the, customers of banks
will go far in bringing about
the establishment of public
understanding and confidence
in banking, which are so essen
tial to the welfare not only of
banking but of the nation"
The statement of principles, it l.
declared in an introduction to 1t
presents the collective opinion o1
leading bankers throughout the
country. The text of the state
ment says in part:
"FOr the full development of
its usefulness and dependability,
commercial banking calls for the
intelligent cooperation Of three
important groups, namely, the
governmental authorities, the
great body of citizens and the
bankers themselves.
"The executives and directors
Of commercial banks naturally
assume the major share of the
responsibility for the proper con-
duct of the commercial banking
system"
The statement of principles ha
been prepared, it says, for theil
guidance and for the information
of the public and its governmental
representatives.

f ARLE PLANS
BOOTLEG COAL
SHOWDOWN

POTTSVILLE, Pa, Dec. q
G.N.S0 Finding the bootleg
coal area a powder keg and public
opinion united against the use OF
National Guardsmen or State po
lice, Governor George H. Earle
turned again today to the bootlee
coal holes themselves for solution
to the most perplexing problem OF
his administration.
Indications, meanwhile, were
that the governor would have a
Showdown" soon with anthracite
operators who have pressed him
with requests for State police to
halt "coalstealing" on their lands
Asks Opinions
At a public opinion conference
called here, the asking
for impartial observations for the
general public" the police
power issue up to his listeners.
1nelr reply was:
mo. That might cause blood.
she'd"
Out of the public hearing came
seven proposals:
Force companies either to lease
idle lands or to operate them;
lease present bootleg" sources
on a realty basis to the bootleg
gers themselves; tax idle lands
to the point of confiscation" to
force operators to open them up;
equalize labor, spreading out
work, a solution that has worked
successfully in other anthracite
areas; appoint a commission to
study the problem; lease idle coal
lands to independent colleries now
operating elsewhere: let the State
and Federal governments step in.
Seeks Plain Talk
. Repea t e dly, Governor Earle
asked leaders:
Don't you think the Oper-
atOrS have a moral obligation
to lease or to lease on royalties
these lands?"
That he would call for plain
talk" with both operators and
bootleggers soon after his present
three-day tour is concluded was
clear. The conference, when called,
was expected to result in the indi-
Gated Showdown" with the opera
tors.
He added:
81 do not want to discuss the
matter at present with represen-
tativeS of the companies or of
the bOOtleggers until the time
comes when 1 can sit down in
conference with them.
''We would violate precedent
to send in State police when we
had no request from local au-
thOritieS. If we sent in 1000
State police and guardSman cost
ing the State 81 per day, it
would cost the State $4,000
daily to wipe out this condition
and then the bOotleggers would
go on relief, making an addi-
tiOnal burden"

Cotton Goods

NEW YORK. Dec 2? J.N.sD.-Pre.
holiday quiet marked transs ctions in the
cotton goods market today as Worth
Street settled down to what it expects
will he a relatively dull week. Very
little fill-in buying remains to he done,
and this source of the bulk Of the pur-
chases in the past few days will thus be
withdrawn from the market.
Scattered sales on most constructions
found them at firm prices, with mills
under no pressure to liquidate their
relatively meagre salable stocks on hand.
Narrow print cloths and sheetings sold
for distant delivery. There was fair
amount o fdemand for prompt shipment
Of carded broadcloths and drills. Rayon
and other fine cloths were increasingly
difficult to buy at recent market prices.
