Stocks Higher,
Gains Small;

NEW YORK, (AP). - The

day. Trading was heavy.

were made among selected
issues.

hours was 90 million shares,
the largest in some time.
Wall Street seemed confident
that the railroad strike threat

General Motors touched an
other historic high and Chrys-
Ter was up about 2 points
before trimming a fraction
from the gain.
Rails were up slightly on
balance, not sharing COM
pletely the confidence displayed
in other sectors of the market.
Steels, tors, nonferrous
metals, drugs, tobaccoS and
aeroSpace issues were mostly
higher ..4..
Gillette was bought heavily,
rising nearly 3 before backing
down to a net gain of a couple
of points. Renewed interest in
the stock was prompted by
news that the company will
begin distribution of its new
stainless steel razor blade in
early September.
Chrysler was up more than 2
at it's best, later holding a gain
exceeding a point.
The Dow Jones industrial
average at noon was up 2.55
at 725.67.
Prices were irregularly

universal protection against

crisis. But most areas of the

taSSetS OF the bank. Ine gov
ernment would accept the
notes at par for federal taxes
or loans; in addition, every
national bank was required
to accept at par the notes OF
| all the others. Thus the notes
lhad uniform design and wide
geographic acceptability. Con.
Sequently, they were preferred
by the public, and banks
wanted to become eligible to
tissue them. To be- able to is
sue notes was thought to pro-
vide both an incentive for the
banks to join the system and
to buy Treasury bonds as a
basis for note issues. Banks
could not issue notes in ex-
cess of their capital stock.
Furthermore, the total volume
of all national bank notes was
not to excited $500 million.
At the time of Comptroller
McCulloch's first report to
Congress on November %,
1868, only l34 national banks
had been organized. McCul-
|loch suggested several chang
es in the, Act of 1868; this,
coupled with criticism in
many quarters of the Acts
inconsistencies and ambigui-
ties, led to a complete revi-
sion. The new law, the Ma
tional Bank Act, passed on
June 3, 1864, sought to achieve
a uniform national currency
by shifting responsibility for
the issuance of the nations
currency from state banks to
national banks. 1t also con-
tinued the Secretary of the
Treasury's authorization to-
use national banks as deposit
cries, modified reserve re-
quirements, increased capital
requirements, and permitted
state banks which converted
to national banks to retain
their established firm names.
BY January 1865, there were
638 national banks in exist
ence. Yet, contrary to what
had been expected, many OF
the state-chartered banks had
not converted to national
banks. In March 1865, by a
narrow margin, Congress vot-
ed to impose a 10 per cent tax
or all further issues of state
bank notes. In response to|
this, applications for charter
conversions poured in; by Oc-
tober 1866, the number of ma
tional banks had risen to-
i 1913. Meanwhile, the num-
Der of state banks dropped
from some 1,100 in 1864, to
$50 by 1868.
The errorrs mace to insure
the safety and circulation
at par of national bank notes
throughout the nation were
successful. Despite limita-
tions in the new laws, the cur
rency and banking reforms of
1868 and 1864 wrought a vast
Improvement over the situa-
ton prior to 1868. Secretary
Chase stated the benefits ac-
cruing from the Act of 1863
as the Strengthening of
the public credit; the streng-
thening of the bond of union;
a safe currency for the mas
ses; (and a uniform money

As a result of widely diverse
state laws, the quality of tine
banks varied from fairly
good to very bad. Some
states, notably New York,
Massachusetts and Louisiana,
enacted sound banking laws
to protect noteholderS and de.
positors; these laws were i'm
