Wall Street Advances to Banks on Preferred Stock by Government Should Prove Important Spur to Trade. BY RAI.PH BENDERS HOT Titati Sptei.l Finanrial Writer The government now is prepared to furnish the banks with funds with which to make loans to industry. It will take back preferred stock as security lor the advances, according to Jesse H Jones, chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation The move should prove one of the most effective steps the government has taken thus far to spur trade In all probability manv of the larger Wall Street banks will not be very strong for the idea They would prefer to loan their own money in their own way. They have plenty of funds with which to make loans, but thev have been afraid to make them for fear thev might not turn
nu' so well They cannot earn a reasonable return, therefore, on the funds they have, so they are unlikely to desire more. But there are many other banks in the country which undoubtedly will be rxiy and eager to accept the government aid They would stand to risk very little and to make a great deal. If they could get money at 4 per cent, for instance, from the government and loan it out at 6 per cent most of them coulu increase their earnings to common stockholders trrmrndouslv. And the fact that borrowers could get funds at 'hese institutions if loans were denied at their regular banks would tend to make the latter loosen up for fear of losing customers. Would Help Smaller Borrowers It may be claimed, of course, that industry is not in the market for loans, but that is true only of the stronger companies. The second-string concerns which have littlp m the way of marketable securities

or the other kinds of collateral now being demanded as backing for loans could use funds to advantage in their business. It is evidently toward these concerns that the government is directing its attention. To advance money to banks indiscriminately on preferred stock collateral would seem to be rather risky business for the government. It would tend to encourage the speculative use of the funds. And we might easily run into anew period of overexpansion But if the government is careful with its advances and the banks are careful with their loans everything should turn out satisfactorily. The Oil and Steel ( odes Some rather interesting developmnets may be expee'eri before the end of this week in connection with the oil and steel codes of business practice. Opposing factions in the oil industry were unable to agree on a platform so General Hugh S Johnson. NRA director, set about drawing up one. This will be made public soon, and it should be interesting from the standpoint of seeing which side of the controversy he favors, as well as from the standpoint of furnishing a definite idea of how the government thinks a code should be prepared. The shining lights of the steel industry are in Washington to see that they get the best rode possible. Myron C Taylor, head of the United States Steel Corporation, and Eugene C. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, are directly behind Robert P. Lamont, former cabient officer, who is leading the fight for the steel, concerns.

WALZER United Press finanrial fdltor NEW' YORK. Aug. 4—Trading came to an abrupt halt on the Slock Exchange today when brokers were driven off the floor by fumes from tear gas bombs. The Exchange ordered dealings to cease for the day shortly after noon. Up to that time, trading had been the lightest of any session since the resumptions of operations following the bank holiday shutdown. Prices declined after an irregularly lower opening, but around noon had rallied from the lows. Trading continued on the Curb and Chicago Exchanges but they were on a sharply reduced scale for the big board sets the pace for these markets. Closing Prices Lower Closing prices—last prices of the session—were lowar. Steel closed at 51 'j, off 1; American Can. 84 up 1; American Telephone. 123'. off \; Bethlehem Steel. 38",, of 1; Commercial Solvents. 31 7 *, off 1 1 v., and Consolidated Gas. 51S. off 2. Sales to noon totaled only 500.000 shares, or at a rate of 1.250.000 shares for a full session. The lethargy continued after that until the bursting of the ammonia pipe, which sent the brokers scurrying toward exits, A temporary closing was ordered at first, but later. Ash- ! bel Green, secretaarv. issued the following statement which was carried on the tickers: "Notice—The exchange will be closed for the balance of the day." Bond List Irregular Confusion prevailed in the brokerage offices where staffs were sharply reduced because of the lunch hour. A scramble was made to recall the workers to get out the day's statements and stand by for orders from various parts of the country. Newspaner offices also caught with men at lunch recalled their workers to get out the final lists. The bond section of the Exchange closed also since it is directly con- I necterf with the stock floor and its' traders also were forced to leave. Up to the time of closing the bond market had been irregular and quiet.

—Todav and Tomorrow— J Nation's Stock Speculative Tendency Continues Despite Crashes of Bull Markets. BY WALTER LIPPMANN
IN the little bull market which cracked in the middle of July, we learned that almost nothing had Deen learned from the great bull market which cracked up nearly four years ago. The speculative appetite was unimpaired The efficiency of the Stock Exchange in catering to it was unchastened. We had the pools, the tips, the high pressure salesman-
ship, the indiscriminate margin accounts and all the other appurtenances uhicji have made the American capital market the mast feverish market of its kind :n the civilized world. The money changers who. on March 4. were indeed in the temple, but on their knees praying had been driven out and had resumed about where they left off some years ago. It is clear enoughs I think, that the reversion to the old way* was due. in the first iinstance. to the administrations failure to exhibit capacity and willingness to manage the dollar. When men hope or fear that the currency is out of control thev are compelled to speculate, even though they have no other ambition than to conserve their capital. But when all that can be said on this subject has been said, it still was startling to discover how little the experience of the last few years had done to awaken a of public responsibility in those who
are professionally responsible for the vast business of trading in securities. Compared with the manifest evils and dangers of national gambling in securities, the reforms initiated by the governors of the Stock Exchange during the last three years can only be described as pitiably inadequate. So sluggish were they to move that it had begun to appear that they would not institute real reforms except by compulsion from theoutside . Men whose every instinct is to prefer self-regulation to new laws came to feel that the Stock Exchange and the brokerage business would probably have to be treated to legislation as drastic as that with which the federal securities act surrounds the underwriting and promotion of new issues, as* 'T'HE crack-up in the middle of July seems to have brought home to the governors of the Stock Exchange a realization that they must bestir themselves. At any rate, they have at last eome forward with some reforms which have some point and some edge. They have made up their minds to regulate the building up of weak and dangerous margin accounts. They are proceeding to deprive the management of pools of ihe immumty of secrecy, and they lecognize that they must begin to do something to deflate the high pressure salesmanship by which the public is lured into the stock market. This is excellent. Quite apart from the question as to whether these reforms are adequate, it is excellent because it dignifies a radically new conception of the duty of the Stock Exchange. The orthodox theory has always been that the Stock Exchange is merely a market place, and that the brokerage houses merely are agents through whom orders to buy and sell are executed. This, for example, is the tenor of Richard Whitney's testimony before the senate banking and currency committee in the spring of 1932. When he was asked about the part played by the exchange in the bull speculation ot, 1929. the testimony ran as follows: Q —Led by the New York Stock Exchange? A—l deny that. sir. Q—lt does not lead anything? A—lt is a market place. On this theory the duties of the officers of the exchange would be j confined to providing an orderly and honest market. But the indubitable truth is that the Stock Exchange is more than a market place. It is a guild of brokerage houses which, in times of public participation. are for all practical purposes investment or speculative advisers to the owners of securities. The responsibilities of this relationship can not be sloughed off. It is a fiduciary relationship, and. therefore, it has become imperative that the exchange, as a corporate body.

should have standards and should enforce them, which will protect the public against rigging, manipulation and ignorance n n m I TNDER modern conditions of corjjorate finance, industry draws upon the savings of a multitude of people. In the nature of things this multitude can not have the knowledge necessary to make prudent investment. That knowledge must be supplied by intermediaries who are obliged to defend the savings of their clients. question is whether the exchange and the brokers who compose it will accept this obligation. If they will not. then the government will have to impose it from the outside. There is no other alternative. The days when the Stork Exchange could regard itself solely as a market place are as irrevocable as the days when railroads could be regarded ns n wholly private possession of their promoters. The question as to how far public regulation of a public institution like th° Stock Exchange is to be carried now is solely a question of how promptly and how effectively the exchange regulates itself. My own conception is that the exchange has about six months in which to show' what it can and will do by way of erecting new fiduciary standards and of organizing itself to enforce them. I say six months because at the end of that time congress again will be in session and. if the exchange is not reformed demonstrably by that time it will be the duty of the administration to propase a plan of reform. Longer than that it is not possible to wait for convincing evidence of change because, as recovery proceeds, the nation must not be subjected to the risk of a wild bull market like the one which, happily, has Just been interrupted. It is to be hoped, therefore, that th° reforms which have been instituted bv the governors of the exchange are to be regarded as recognition of anew duty and. therefore. as the beginning rather than as th° fulfillment of anew policy If it is. the governors will be doing nothing more than that which the most obvious horse sense requires j and if among their members and members’ clients they find some who think th°sr measures too radical or too inconvenient they should tell them that it is no good trying to sleep past the zero hour. iCopvntrht. 1933 t The City in Brief
