Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Selected
stacles in today's market and emerged
from rather jumpy session with gains
running to point or so.
The list dipped at the start follow
ing yesterdays dividend omission by
Chrysler. but quickly regained bal
ance and converted initial losses into
advances of fractions to more than 2.
Top marks were whitfield down in
the final hour when General Motors
announced salary cuts ranging from
10 to 80 per cent for some 10000
"white-collar' employees, blaming the
action on continuance of the recess
sion and its eject on automotive dis
tribution.
There was delayed opening Of
more tran 10 minutes in Chrysler
which. on a block of 5000 shares,
showed decline of %. points. The
loss was subsequently reduced sub
stantially. General Motors was
shade higher the greater part of the
day.
Volume expanded on buying inter-
vals and tended to dry up during slid
ing periods. Transfers were around
950.000 shares.
Steels, aircrafts, rubbers. coppers,
mail orders. farm implements, util-
tiles and specialties took turns in
the advancing parade.
Carriers were given a brief run-up
in the afternoon on rumors the long
awaited Interstate Commerce COM
mission freight rates decision would
be handed down over the week END.

Examination of earnings figures,
however, indicated heavy dropping of

of 1897.
During the last quarter of 1897
the indicated net earnings equalled
$2.37 per share, compared to the 1886
equivalent of $4.54 per share.

BANKS TOLAUNCH
HOME LOAN DRIVE
Newspaper Advertising
Plans Drafted to Stim-
uIate Interest Here.
By EDWARD C. STONE.

Washington banks will launch a
cooperative newspaper advertising
campaign next Monday. February %,
aimed at boosting loans under Title
of the Federal Housing Act and at
the same time helping business con-
ditions in the community
The advertising drive will continue
for three weeks, such a move having
been outlined and adopted at re-
cent special meeting of the District
Bankers Association. It is the second
time the banks of the Capital have
conducted campaign of this kind
the first having been most successful
Bankers feel that the campaign will
be of very material lelp to the local
business situation. said Thomas J.
Groom, president of the bankers asso-
citation, as it creates lot of jobs in
various trades. with very little delay.
The cooperative plan also has direct
bearing on the administration re-
covery program. For these reasons the
banks wish to stimulate loans of this
description.
Mr.. Groom believes that the second
campaign of this nature is certain of
success, his conclusion being based
on the results of the first drive The
original Federal Housing Act was ex-
tended for year after it was sup
posed to expire. During the two periods
the banks in the Capital made an
aggregate of l0,615 loans under Title l.,
having total value Of S5384,659.
AS spring approaches, there is
always great deal of alteration work
started. When it is realized that the
banks have plenty of funds for
financing Improvements there is a
strong probability that a good deal of
work will be undertaken which had not
been planned for early attention
This will not only provide many new
jobs, but will put good deal of addi-
tional money into circulation and hep
buying power.

"If such a move is considered,

liar to the Governments low

DR.. Lyman B. Kebler, president

This move is entirely too

lands Citizens Association, agreed
that ban in the business section
Of the city might be possible, but
objected to any city!wide ban as
advocated by McCoach.
Gradual Process
The Engineer Commissioner ad-
n1itted that the elimination OF
autos from the city'S streets could
not be accomplished Immediately
but would have to be effected by
O gradual process. He said his
theory called for the encourage
ment of garage construction by
home owners. Desirable also, ne
said, would be the construction OF
garages under office buildings.
The McCoach theory may come
up for consideration Monday when
the Commissioners meet with the
traffic advisory committee which
they appointed last summer in ar
effort to stem the tide of traffic
fatalities.
CARRUTHERS' VIEW
L. A. Carruthers, president oi
the Federation Of Citizens ASso
Citations, failed to share McCoach's
enthusiasm for the parking ban
He said he was loath to take issue
with the Commissioner, but ques
toned seriously whether the Dis
trict can either now or IN thu
future furnish garage facilitie
for the local motoring public.
CarrutherS said he agreed tina
street parking at night constituted
q traffic hazard, but wondered
where funds and locations fol
garages adequate to house Wash
ington'S automobiles could be Oh
tanned. AS a long range propo
sition, Carruthers indorSed tht
McCoach proposal.
He emphasized, however, tina
imposition of the ban should bt
o gradual process and suggested
that all apartment houses con
6tructed henceforth should bt
required to make provisions fol
