Here nro sorao of thefact sleaned yesterday: 1.

Compliance with tho orders was Im mediate, owinjr to' tho powor of the Fod. era! Roeorvo Bank" to deny tho redla countlns privilege at Its own discretion. 4. Liquidation occurred It tha stock market and tho bond markot, Including Liberty bonds, In silver, grain and cot ton and foreign exchange, with a C9n. fl.'dcrablo lncreaso Jin .tho premium of tho .dollar. C. The prlco of gold -rose In .London to an unprecedentedly .high record, with the United States the un doubted purchaser of 'tho cold on .ac count of pie depreciation of ,the pound sterling ns expressed In terms of tho dal'ari G. Tho Clearing House Associa tion's members voted' unanimously to limit Ui6 maximum rate to bo paid ion .any credit balance, outsldo of mutual savings bonks, .to 2 per cent, thus removing the last .obstacle In .the way of iv j-Iso In rediscount rates. 7. Banks Anticipated a rise In tho rediscount rato w jo ilia per cent, or Higher by cnarglng TOW 6 ccnt- cn tbeIr discounts. ll' "Jlbs-r Dim to Dron flnlil Hlnmlnril "The whole situation 9an be summed up In two words: 'gold and psychology.' " said a prominent banker yesterday. ".Either the entire, banking situation must be deflated, which Is being accom plished In part by the effect of psy chology and In part by the Clearing of the path toward a rlao In rediscount ''Stt rates, or the gold standard must bo rtvuiuiuvueu. "The dilemma Is an obvious one, and In my opinion the Federal Reserve J) illations ishould not Increase with on lncreaso In the Federal Reserve llanls discount rate for .ninety day papor beyond a maximum of 2 pet cent Tho amendment follows : '.'Section 1, No member .of this association, .or bank or trust com pany or others clearing through any .member, shall.agreed to pay, or shall pay. directly or Indirectly, on any credit balanco payable on demand or within thirty days, cr certificate of doposlt so paable, by Us terms, Issued to or for tho account of any ibank (othor than a mutual savings bank located In tho Becond Federal Reserve, district), trust company or other Institution conducting a bank ing business, or private banker or bankers, located In tho United States or Dominion of Canada, Interest at a rato In oxcess of 1 per cent per annum when the 'then ninety day discount rato for commercial paper at tho Fcdoral Resorvo Rank of Now York Is 2 per cent or less, and nn additional ono fourth of 1 per cent, -for every wo half of 1 per cent, thut .mich discount rato ot 'the Federal Reserve Bank shall exceed 2 per cent .except that tho, maximum rato paid or ngreed 40 bo paid on any such credit balanco, or certificate of deposit shall not In any cose bo higher than 2 per cent per annum; nor shall any member, or non-member clearing through a member, jay or agree to .pay on any like credit balance of, or Hk6 certificate of deposit Issued to, any mutual savings bank located In tho Second Federal Reserve district or any person, 4orsonsi copartner ship, corporation 07 association, other than those specified nnd Included above, Interest at 'X higher rate than 3 per cent, per annum; nor on any tlmoidcposlt or ceiililcato of deposit payable by Its terms.lator than thirty days from tho data thereof, at a higher rato than 3 per cqnt. per annum.

GERMAN TRADE IS BRITISH PROBLEM Question -of Unglisll Attitude Is Insistent and Not Eaay to Settle OFFER ORPHEUM CIRCUIT, BRITAIN SEES HER POWER Discussion Whether to Aid Gormany or Lot Her JVork Out Salvation Heard. RAIL HEADS ADOPT COMLIATORYM Association of Railway Execu tives Docido Policy on Sec tion 6, Cummins Bill. Tho standing committee of the As sociation of Railway Executive in a protracted meeting .held yesterday In 61 Broadway, decided to adopt a con ciliatory policy bo far as section C of me uummlns bin was concerned. "While nothing came to a head so far as a pro nnd con .stand on the section which 'Would -limit a refisonnhln nrnflt in nn Beard 3as made a wise .choice In thciavcrare of ZV, ue.r ,,nt nf ih. .n.mn decision to bring about deflation. At this 1 property Investment in a .district with a point I would not say that the situation ('division of profits in tho case of any hi la sortous, nor would I say that care and conservatism will cot prove a sound corrective, but tha jperiod of correction must co odurad. "The action la not directed primarily at the security markets, .but naturally they are .the first to1 receive the blow. Tho break In sterling yesterday wassluo ' to a llshtonlng of the load of commercial bills carried by banks, sterling exchango dropping n fraction abovo the cx 'tretne' low record of $3.6651, with tho trend of all the ccchansear In a down ward direction. "Two of the biggest factors In the outstanding loans of tho banks are paper representing exports of goods abroad, which were not financed by . United States Government credits, by sale Of foreign bonds In this country or In the foreign exchange market and paper representing tho purchase of Lib erty bonds. Tho liquidation of the Joans - ori Liberty bonds or with those bond3 ns collateral has led to a marketing ot these Issues 'with a depression in tho current values of .Liberty issues. "The liquidation of the paper rep resenting exports Is going to be a slow nrocess Indeed. A .portion Is being flung I'fcjyWVin the exchange market with a decline , !n .rates. It will be. recalled that uo to the end of December our exports were ' about $5,200,000,000. Against this the United States Imported about $800,000, 000 worth of goods, the United States Government extended about $1,750,000, 000 of credit, and the new money from forefgn loans and foreign exchango - nalea accounted for about $600,000,000. That left a load of some $2,000,000,000 ; spread on banks throughout the United I 'States. overnnicnt Credit Exhausted. "Tho United States Government cred it la exhausted for all practical pur i poses. The foreign exchango market . shows that It cannot absorb much of tho paper representing new exports and, while tho Belgian loan of $25,000,000 was a success, It remains to be seen how much can bo raised- from the sales ot forelpj securities to the American In vestor. "In consequence It is my belief that our export trade my3t ceaso to the smallest minimum limits. Under the ' circumstances It la no wonder that the Federal Reserve Board has decided to draw In the horns of credit and the nows that banks which have borrowed from the reserve bank twice their capi tal And surplus or moro have been re quested to cut down these borrowings ,, Is no surprise to me. I heard that In a few cases statistical experts of the Federal lleserve Board had within the . last few days been examining tho loan flgurea of certain Institutions, and the policy of curtailment I believe. Is being .carried on wisely and impartially." H In view of the financial developments an' Interesting transaction yesterday was the renewal of $42,500,000 of Ford Ma tor Company notes n a 6 per ccnt. basis. Tho renewal waa for a ninety day period and at tho end of that period tho- outstanding notes must be reduced and the balance will be extended for an , other ninety day period, when all mart bo paid. The Chase Securities Corpora tion, Bond & Goodwin and tho Old Col ony Trust Comnany of Boston originally marketed $75,000,000 of Fprd Motor notes. At thd time of tho first renewal road which earned more than that per centage, u was ascertained that the un qualified opposition of some of the stronger roods to any earning limitation was- toned .down and tho hope wa? ex pressed that the association -would bo ablo to present a united front as re gards its attitude toward tho Cummins bill. Following the moetlng of railroad ex ecutives no formal statement was Issued. The only concrete action, It was stated by a spokesman ior the .association, was he grant of authority to Thomas Do witt uuyier. chairman of tho Associa tion of Railway Executives, to hold con ferences with any other organization which desired them for the purpose of agreeing, so far as possible, on railroad legislation. Tho rate committee reported progress "to the standing -committee, but it was declared th3t no statement would bo made at this time as to how much of an Increase in rates was desired or aa to tho plans of the committee. Interviews with railroad presidents and chairmen following the meeting gave a more hopeful tone regarding a united front for the association as to forthcoming legislation, and the best opinion seemed to be that tho railroad men would be willing to accept tho best legislation now In process of consum mation. If so, the divergent elements lnthe standing committee have been obliged to recede from an uncompromis ing position. It is still the hope of tho railroad men that tho Cummins bill will be so amended that every railroad In. every district shall bo assured of per cent on Its property investment, with ono-half of 1 per cent for main tenance, with a lessening of the spigot, drain on earnings of more than that percentage.

An intimate under standing by America of the English at titude toward European econorrdo de velopments will bo a principal factor In determining Just where the United States may throw her financial, Influence to be most useful In a survey of the trade situation in Europe recently It ' was stated In 'these 'despatches that England holds tho future of European develop ment practically in the palm ot her hand, and can direct tho recovery of euch sections as bio seen fit With America practically maintaining an attitude of hands off financially In Europe. England realizes that she Is tho only other nation to .direct Conti nental finance, and she sees her power. Discussion Is beginning as to whether Germany .shall he given English as sistance to recuperate or be loft to work out htr .own salvation. Tha London Times says editorially J "Now that we lire enbo more at peace with Germany the question of out attitude toward German trade becomes insistent It Is by no' means easy to settle offhand. It Is a problem at once ethical, economic, nractlcal. It Is not ethical from the standpoint ot those who believe that German Ideals are antagonistic to tne ideals of .Englishmen ; these have sound, logical reasoning on their side xvlien they urge that, no lasting benefit can result from a renewal ot Intlmato relations with, the nation that puts the cult of materialism above every other consider ation.

'It Is entirely beside the marlt to stip ulate that tho Intercourse should bo re stricted to commercial affairs, yet it is tolerably certain -that sooner or later trade and social relations will bo re stored between tho British and German nations by . certain elements in tms country.
