BANKERS DISCUSS
NEW U. S. BONDS
Details of Exchange Offer
Received With Great
Interest Here.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.
Washington bankers today expressed
deep interest in the new Treasury
offering of bonds with a coupon be
low 3 per cent for the first time since
the World War, In exchange for
$1,850,000,000 of Fourth 4Vi per cent
Liberty Bonds. Notices and all the
details of the exchange offer were re
ceived this morning by member banks
in the Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
mond.
The Richmond announcement states
that the issue consists of 20-25 year
2 T» per cent Treasury bonds of 1955
1960, offered entirely on an exchange
basis for the Fourth 4 'i s, called for
redemption on April 15. The new
notes are to be designated as Series
A-1940.
The bonds will be the cheapest and
longest dated bonds outstanding as
current obligations of the Treasury.
Only the 2 per cent consols, 2 per
cent Panamas and 2 M per cent postal
savings bonds, all callable or redeem
able, bear smaller coupon rates.
It is stated that only the accumu
lation oi excess reserves in the hands
of the Federal Reserve member banks,
now approaching the $2,500,000,000
mark, has enabled the Treasury to fix
a rate of 2'g per cent. The conver
sion of Liberties from a 4V4 rate to
the 2?g per cent basis will save the
Government more than $25,000,000 a
year on the $1,850,000,000 obligations
Affected.
Interest on the called Fourth 4Vis
tendered in payment for the new
bonds will be paid up to March 15,
1935, the Richmond Bank announces.
The opinion is expressed that the new
issue may bring about a further ex
pansion in commercial loans. The
lower rate, of course, makes it harder
for banks and investors to make satis
factory returns on Government Issues.
Whether there will be a real swing
toward commercial loans remains to
be seen.
Bank Demands Further Study.
The National City Bank in its
monthly review, out today, demands
that Congress give further study to
Title II of the pending banking act.
Title II is considered the heart of the
bill, as it contains proposals foi
fundamental changes in banking con
trol and practice. The importance of
the whole bill is stressed as follows:
"The proposals affecting the bank
ing system embodied in the new bill
before Congress known as the banking
act of 1935 are of so fundamental a
nature as to make this bill the most
important piece of banking legislation
since the Federal reserve act. The
bill is of importance to every bank
depositor because it concerns the
soundness and liquidity of banking
assets, and it is of importance to every
man. woman and child because it
concerns the value of money. In a
country like the United States, where
90 per cent of the aggregate value ol
all payments is made by checks drawn
against bank deposits, it is obviou:
that the volume of bank credit is a
far greater factor in determining whal
the dollar will buy than the amount
of currency outstanding.
"This is the reason why this bill
proposing to remodel the banking sys
'tem Is a matter of vital interest, not
only to bankers, but to every indi
vidual who has savings or other kinds
of property, or who uses money for
any purpose whatever, and this, of
course, means every one.
"In so far as the vital provisions of
Title II of this bill are concerned, it
Is difficult to see how anything will
be gained by haste. It is easy to see
how much might be lost. There can
be no doubt but that the country
would feel far more secure, and the
chances of reaching wise conclusions
far greater, if this section of the bill
were reserved for more extended study
and debate."
Retail Trade Doing Well.
Retail trade in the Fifth Federal
Reserve district, which includes Wash
ington, was good last week, the Bank
of Richmond announces. Special sales
In the stores in many leading cities
in the district were well supported.
The warmer weather in the southern
part of the territory has proved extra
beneficial. The letting up in trade,
which has been predicted in some sec
tions of the country, has not devel
oped here, latest reports show. Whole
sale firms are reported as busy as the
retail concerns.

•ales and collections by the National
Association of Credit Men finds 20
cities reporting "good" sales and 23
rioting "good" collections. Among the
cities reporting both are Richmond
and Norfolk, Va. Collections also are
especially good in Parkersburg, W. Va.
In its Spring forecast the United
Business Service of Boston says today
that commodity prices, currently at
the highest level for the recovery
period, are believed to be at their top
limits for some time to come. Neither
consumer nor heavy industry buying
power is sufficiently large to permit
further advances in quotations at this
time.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 4—Both wheat
and corn suffered a maximum tumble
Of about a cent a bushel today, with
lack of aggressive buying a conspicu
ous feature.
Traders were inclined to look for
lower-priced offerings of grain from
Argentina as a result of smashes in
sterling exchange. A decrease of
3,364,000 bushels in the United States
wheat visible supply total today was
virtually ignored.
Wheat closed weak, %al % under

Hogs and Cattle
Set 4rYear Peak
On Chicago Mart
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. March 4 — Hog and cat
tle prices soared to new high prices
in more than four years today.
With receipts continuing on a near
starvation basis, bidding for hogs was
avid and prices rose fully 10 cents
above Friday's quotations to a top
of $9.60, highest since October 28,
1930. Buyers were forced to pay
$14 per hundredweight for best steers,
highest price since December, 1930.
Although hogs are now selling at
the highest point since the Fall of
1930, they are not as high as they
were In many other years when re
ceipts were twice a& large as present.
The run today was 17,000, a slight
bulge in marketing compared with
recent weeks, but still far below nor
mal.
The decrease in available pork sup
plies has reached an alarming situa
tion, according to market interests.
Some packing houses have curtailed
hog-killing operations because of the
supply situation. A reduction of
1,700,000 pounds of lard occurred last
month, taking the total stocks in the
seven leading Western packing cen
ters. to 73,000,000, compared with 135,
000,000 a year ago.

BUT VOLUME LAGS
Many Leaders Drop Only
Fractions as Gold
Soars at London.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, March 4.—Price* In
the stock market today showed a
moderately downward trend as Lon
don gold was pushed up to another
record high and the pound sterling
sagged. Trading was at a slow pace,
however, and many of the equity
leaders were only fractionally lower.
Johns-Manville lost 2 points, while
Case and Spiegel-May-Stern yielded
a point or more each. General
Motors. American Telephone, U. S.
Steel, Consolidated Gas and Ν. Y.
Central were slightly in arrears. The
late tone was easy. Transfers approxi
mated 430.000 shares.
With London gold being marked up
to a new record high, and sterling con
sequently slumping nearly 5 cents at
one time, enthusiasm for stocks was
notably cool. Wall street, however,
seemed to be more confused than
downhearted, and many equities yield
ed only small fractions. The specu
lative pace was about as slow as that
of Saturday.
U. S. Government securities firmed
on announcement of the Treasury's
low-yield terms for its March 15
financing. Commodities, including
grains and cotton, pointed downward
along with stocks.
Minor recessions were shown by
such utilities, rails and motors as
American Telephone. Consolidated
Gas. Public Service of New Jersey,
Santa Pe. Ν. Y. Central, Southern
Pacific, General Motors and Chrysler.
There were a few soft spots. Johns
Manville dropped 2 points.
Market opinion^ were quite mixed,
with the majority of bullish hopes
being pinned on a moderate Spring
rise in trade and the bears arguing
that the money situation, both here
end abroad, is more uncertain than
ever.
Those more pessimistically inclined
expressed the fear that the gold-bloc
nations would be forced off the metal
lic standard with a resultant dis
turbance to securities and staples
markets. At the same time some
banking quarters felt that interna
tional currency stabilization will come
quickly if this happens.
In line with inflation discussions,
much interest was evident in the as
sertion of Representative Patman that
the $2.000.000.000 soldiers' bonus bill
will be passed by two-thirds of the
House and Senate, enough to override
a presidential veto.
VISIBLE GRAIN SUPPLY.
NEW YORK, March 4 04»).—The
visible supply of American grain
shows the following changes, in bush
els: Wheat decreased 3.364,000, com
decreased 1,717,000. oats decreased
75,000. rye decreased 175,000, barley
decreased 407,000.
