WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. An amendment to the currency bill proposed by Sen. Crawford and permitting member banks to lend one-third of their time deposits on farm lands, was accepted by the democrats Friday in the tlnal skirmishing leading up to the vote on the measure. The draft made by the caucus provides for farm loans only to the extent of 25 percent of capital and surplus. Sen. Newlands offered an amendment to restrict the number of regional reserve banks to eight, but Hen. Owen instantly indicated that the democrats will accept no change in this provision. When the democratic conference adjourned at S o'clock Thursday night It had completed work on the currency bill and had endorsed amendments covering a number of the points most vigorously demanded by the republicans. These included provision for an extension of the time limit on rediscountable commercial paper of agricultural transactions from 90 days to ISO days, with the discretion left to the board of reserve to accept the longer time paper; the guarantee of deposits in state banks that may join the associations as well as in the national banks and a provision that would permit clearing house associations to continue their present system of examining the transactions of the banks within the clearing house associations.
