A. B. A. Survey Shows
By EDWARD C. STONE.

Countering the assertion that
banks are not lending, the American
Bankers Association today pub
hshed results of survey which
shows that District banks and those
of Maryland and Virginia made
10000 new loans, totaling more
than $174,932, ,931. to business firms
and individuals throughout the area
during the first six months of 1899
and renewed 67,469 outstanding
loans. aggregating $438,o50,06O in the
same period. In addition the banks
made 1927 new mortgage loans.
totaling $14,560,975.
The study also reveals that busl-
ness organizations in the area are
using less than one-third of the
"open lines of credit kept con-
stantly available to them on the
books of the banks.
In making the survey the A. B. A..
sent out questionnaires to the 325
of its commercial member banks in

and 81 member banks in the Dis
trict. OF the District banks ID, or

Stock Averages
By VICTOR EUBANK.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The stock
market today started the week with
a "tired-out' appearance and most
leaders failed to work up much
rising vigor during the sleepy pro-
ceedings.
Unsuccessful efforts to promote a
mild recovery at the opening were
succeeded by declining tendencies,
although few really weak spots were
in evidence. Some improvement
came in at the finish and scattered
issues managed to hold on to mod
est advances. Closing quotations,
though, generally lacked a definite
direction.
With the ticker tape coming to
full stop frequently, it was one Of
the most sluggish sessions since early
last July. Transfers for the five
hours approximated 100000 shares.
Inclined to lag the greater part
of the day were General Motors,
United States Rubber, Montgomery
Ward, Boeing, Douglas Aircraft, Du
Pont, Eastman Kodak, Union Car
bide, Great Northern, Norfolk g.
Western, International Nickel, West
inghouse and United States Gyp-
sum.
Resistant were United States
Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Chrysler,
Loft, United Aircraft, American
Telephone, Anaconda, Kennecott,
American Smelling, Eastern Air
lines, United Airlines, Standard Oil
of New Jersey and General Electric.
AS one brokerage commentator
put it: Good news apparently
means nothing to speculative con-.
tingents nowadays. One of the prin-
cipal reasons is that most feel that
foreign selling of American securl-
ties has put a ceiling over the mar
ket. While offerings from abroad
have never been particularly heavy,
the fear is that any attempt to get
prices up will meet larger liquida-
ton from Europe. Consequently,
the present stalemate."
Sentiment was not especially dis
turbed by more than expected
drop in this weeks steel mill opera
tions. 1t was officially estimated
output would be of 1.6 points at
92.8 per cent of capacity, the second
recession since Labor day.
The RuSsian-F Finnish war re-
manned as a restraining influence.

cent cumulative preferred and on

ings. F. D. Corley, president, told

I shall have to change my
mind about Florida. although
the thought of Miami and its
own Whiligig' still bores
me-.
The above paragraph is an
excerpt from letter written
by Harry E. Fosdick TO for
mer secretary. and was sent
by the latter to Secretary S. c.
Singleton. of the local cham
Der.
The letter continues:
But Key West is separat-
ed from it by the great wafer
highway and there may be
hope of building a city sane
and fine. and shall say. al
together lovely.
MY sister and her husband
are in Florida now. They go
down every winter. Maybe
I'll go down with them next
season and if so we shall
come to Key West. They
might decide to buy in Key
West instead of locating fur
Their north.
