Ready cash in American purses or
bank accounts today reached the
record-breaking figure of approxi-
mately $50 500 900, ,OOO-an average of
about S527 for every man, woman
and child.
Federal Reserve Board experts
who worked out this estimate said
it was at least $4,000 100000 larger
than in the best days of 1928-29. It
meant gain of more than $5,O00,-
100000 in the last year.
The estimate represented total
bank deposits and the currency in
circulation outside of banks, but eX-
cluded inter-bank deposits.
Theoretically, it was the total of
what Americans could spend in a
single day without borrowing. Ac-
tually, it was about eight times as
much money as exists in the country.
This was possible because of the
everyday procedure of banks lend
ing out depositors' money and the
borrowers redepositins the funds
again.

Bostonian Says Ban
On Multiple Trading
May End Business
Wouldn't Want to- Garry

Enforced Rule, He Ayers
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
George N. Proctor, Boston securi-
ties dealer, testified yesterday at a
Securities and Exchange Commission
hearing that he would not want to
continue in business if the New
York Stock Exchange enforced its
rule against multiple trading,
which the S. E. c. has asked be re-
scinded.
Mr.. Proctor said the rule would
require him either to drop odd
lot trading franchises in 81 Sc
curities or to drop the seat on the
New York Exchange which he
bought in 1917, seven years after
joining the Boston Stock Exchange
Without the profits of the odd
lot business" he said in response
to question by Gerhard A. Gesell,
S. E. c. counsel, Il do not know
whether I would continue In busi-
ness or not"
Would Have Shown Loss.
without my New York member
ship / could not continue In busi-
ness; at least I wouldn't want to,
because my commission business is
in New York" he added.
Mr.. Proctor said that he would
have shown loss on his business
without the New York membership
because of commissions which he
would have had to pay as a non-
member.
Harry E. Tracy. secretary OF the
Boston Stock Exchange. testified at
the hearing that the exchange had
an operating loss of S35,166 during
1910.
Questioning by Mr.. Gesell brought
out, however, that income from
other sources. such as investments
reduced the exchanges net loss for
the year to S7,548. Mr.. Tracy said
that the principal source of income
was from the operation of the
Boston Clearing House
Arthur NJ Belts, chairman of the
Chicago Stock Exchange, testified
that 70 of the 300 members of the
Chicago association also were men,
bers of the New York exchange and
accounted for about three-fourths
of the trading volume at Chicago.

). {. {. Draws First
Integrated Pattern
For Utility System
United Cos improvement

By the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission drew its first pattern
Of an integrated public utility sys.
tenn under the Holding Company
Act yesterday and applied it to
the sprawling United Gas Improve
ment Co.. which controls around
s626,00o,OO0 OF utility property.
Reduced to simplest terms, the
S. E. C. made a tentative finding
that to comply with the law U. G. I.
must reduce itself to system COM
prising s35O,oO0000 worth of elec-
trio utility facilities in an area
roughly 80 by 80 miles and center
ing in Philadelphia.
U. G, I. would be limited to II
electric companies operating in
PENNSYLVANIA. Maryland and Della
ware; to steam facilities operated
by three companies. and to some
real estate interests.
This would compare with the sys-
tenn as now constituted, which in
wolves roughly SS300OO0OO of as
sets; operates in II States from
New Hampshire to Tennessee; in
cludes four subholding companies,
36 electric and gas utilities subsidi-
aries and 48 utility companies
S. E. C. Chairman jerome Frank
said yesterdays action would
sharpen the issues" which are be-
ing faced in the broad integration
program.
He declared that this was i'm
portant from the standpoint OF
national defense because at this
time. industry must be served ade-
quately and economically"
only management which is on
the scene, thoroughly familiar with
the special and constantly shifting
needs of industry in its particular
community and wholly absorbed in
the solution of those and no other
problems can do this Job as we
know today it must be done" Mr.
Frank said This kind of manage
ment cannot be done by remote con-
troll from 5000 miles away"

In England, it is said, the Rolls

Net Tenders. Among the more
useful and Well-tried means of pro-
tecting harborS and naval anchor
ages against the incursions of enemy
submarines is the submarine net laid
across the entrance. These nets
require constant patrol and atten-
ton. Again the British have the
advantage, with their fishing fleet,
of great numbers of steam drifters
for this purpose. We are not so we'll
of, and as with mine e-sweepers must
make special provision.
In addition to the uses above
noted, most of these small craft have
value as defense against hostile air.
planes; they all carry at least an
anti-aircraft machine gun or two
or a pompom firing small explosive
shells. AS tenders and rescue ves-
sells for use with our own aircraft
they possess great value.
They can be employed for recon-
naissance purposes within the limits
of their radius of action. Thus in
watching the numerous entrances OF
the Eastern Caribbean, it might well
be possible to station small craft OF
these sorts in every one of the many
channels. To so station destroyers
or submarines would be an unwar-
rantable dispersion of force and
place heavy strain on the concen-
trated fighting power of the fleet.
Useful in Convoy Work.
In the protection of ocean conveys
there always comes moment when
the convoy must diSperse to its vari-
Gus points of destination. and as
ships leave the protection of the
ocean escort or the destroyers of the
submarine zone escort, it is to the
small craft that they must look for
safety for the remainder of the
voyage.
Similar considerations apply to the
assembly of single ships into con-
voys at designated assembly ports
Unless some such protection can be
provided, the use of the smaller sea-
ports of the country is gravely re-
stricted, and congestion of shipping
and goods and railway rolling stock
at the larger ports becomes a seri-
GUS problem.
The Navy can and has in small
part met their immediate need for
small craft by the purchase and con-
version of tugs, yachts, fishing ves-
sells and the like. But under Amer
lean conditions, the design and
building of craft specially adapted
for the purposes to be met seems es-
sentlal, and will form a vital part
OF our national defense-and verv
likely one of the first elements
thereof to see action if the need for
action arises.
