NEW YORK. Feb. lI.-Stocks did
little more than go through the mo-
tions in todays market.
With transfers amounting TO only
about 100000 shares, dealings we're
around the lowest in three years. For
minute or so at a time the ticker
tape frequently failed to tick. Narrow
price changes either way prevailed at
the close.
Speculative forces kept their eyes on
Washington and were inclined TO linger
in neutral territory pending develop
ments at the Capital, including con-
gresslonal action on tax and farm hill;
and decisions as TO larger spendirr
programs for armaments and public
works.
More attention was given the Euro
pean situation. but it was thoucj.
happenings IN that sector served man
ly to chill stock-buying interest rather
than inspire selling.
There was a 'sit-down" strike r.

Governments Position.
The Government should not weaken
its demand for adequate security on
loans. he said
L don't want to administer a law
lending money on character" Mr..
Jones said, because I don't want to
take the responsibility of judging
whether man has character"
He intimated that a tightening of
certain restraints placed on R. F. c.
lending last October would be his only
recommendation to meet the financing
requests that developed in the recent
conference of small business men.
Mr.. Jones. admitting the expense
and difficulty in selling small stock
issues might be handicap to some
businesses which want new capital
investment. observed that there seems
to be little the Government can do
about it.
Many of those at the small busi-
ness conference. he said, were asking
the Government to lend them money
with no security for its repayment
All r. F. c. loans to business in
the past. he said. were backed by
enough collateral to give 'reasonab Bile
assurance" that the Government
would not have to take loss for bad
debts

by the F. H. A. such associations may
raise additional funds by public sale
of debentures secured by mortgages
already purchased. These debentures
will be virtually guaranteed by the
Government.
Mr.. Jones appointed the following
directors of the new association: c.
B. Henderson and Emil Schram. who
