JQUESTIONS THAT ARE ASKED ABOUT BANKINoJ
STATED in simple terms, it is the duty of
bank directors to direct. They are elected
by the owners of the bank—the stockholders
who delegate to the board of directors the
responsibility of management. The directors,
in turn, hire the officers who, with other
employees, carry on the daily work of run
ning the bank.
But the final and inescapable responsibility
for the bank rests upon its board or directors.
It is their job to exercise control and super
vision of its affairs. It is their duty to know
about the important phases of the bank's
business.
Our directors actively direct the affairs of
this bank. They meet regularly to pass on
important matters, to make decisions and
establish policies which guide our officers in.
the daily management of the bank.

BANK ACCEPTANCE’
RATE IS REDUCED
Expectations of New Rise
in Short-Term Loan
Costs Upset.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YARK, May 7—A cut In
rates today on bankers’ acceptances,
a credit instrument used chiefly to
finance foreign trade, upset expecta
tions widely held in financial circles
a few weeks ago of further advance
In short-term borrowing costs.
After five increases accompanying
Federal Reserve Board moves to cur
tail credit expansion by locking up
the bulk of member banks’ surplus
reserves, bill dealers reversed the
trend and lowered rates on most
maturities one-sixteenth of 1 per cent.
Many had looked for more advances
In short-term money rates after May 1,
when the raising of reserve require
ments as a means of reducing surplus
loanable funds became fully effective.
Member banks, however, have
emerged with a remaining surplus
larger than had been calculated early
In the ”ear and heavy liquidation of
United States Government loans by
banks this year provided many in
stitutions with extra cash.
With the money market thus amply
supplied, dealers had noted increasing
demand for short-term paper the last
few days. When the May 1 boost in
reserve requirements failed to tighten
rates, a cut in bill yields was con
sidered logical.
Another manifestation of easing
money tendencies was seen in a re
covery in United States Government
bonds, hard hit by selling last March
and early April.
Dealers also were said to have been
influenced by announcement there
would be no increase next week in
the amount of Treasury bill offerings.
A steady rise in the rate on Treasury
short-term paper in recent months
contributed to mark-ups in yields on
competing credit instruments.
Under the new rates, bills maturing
in 60 to 90 days were quoted at 9-16
of 1 per cent bid and >2 asked. Four
month bills were s to 9-16 and six
month bills % to %.
Bills payable in 30 days remained
at y2 to 7-16.
Grant W. T. Co.—April sales were
off 6.2 per cent, four months up
3.9 per cent.
