This Indicates very clearly a final re
turn to more normal conditions, since for
weeks the brokers have been restricted
In sales to the last official Exchange

rate, brokers and bond salesmen nre
brushing the accumulated dust from their

after continued conference with the

following announcement:
"With the concurrence of the nalil com
mittees, It Is the understanding that
dialers In bonds should bo directly gov

"The sale of unlisted bonds owned by
the dealer: It Is thought that dealers
ihould bo free to sell such bonds to In

ly the dealer: all such proposed trades
ihould be laid before the Committee of
I Seven.
( 'The sale of listed bonds; nil such pro

It is the general expectation that, nt
tho rate of progress being made In clear
Ins the trade of open contracts requiring
International ndjustment, tho cotton ex
changes of the country are likely to be

BANKS MUST STOP
HOARDING MONEY,
M'ADOO INSISTS
Secretary Treatens to Recall
Emergency Currency From
Bankers Who Deny Loans
for Legitimate Commercial
Needs.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Drastlc ac
tion against bankers who are hoarding
monoy, denying lonns for legitimate pur
poses to commercial borrowers while their
vaults bulge with "war emergency" and
other currency, Is being considered by
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
The Secretary nnd members of tho Fed
eral Reserve Board admitted today that
numerous complaints against bankers nro
being received. Recall from offending
banks by the Treasury of currency Issued
for the war emergency under tho Aldrlch
Vrecland act unless the hoarding ceases
was being seriously considered today, It
was reported.
State banks, which cannot be reached
by tho Federal officials, nre also offend
ing by hoarding their money. It was stated
today.
While millions of dollars of emergency
currency have been poured out to the
banks, manufacturers and merchnnts nro
being turned down when loans nre re
quested nnd Interest chnrges boosted, ac
cording to complaints reaching tho treas
ury. Many banks nro also said to bo de
clining to extend maturing pnper.
Hoarding always occurs In times of dis
tress, but with tho treasury dealing out
currency with a free hand there is no
necessity for such action now, In the
opinion of Secretary McAdoo, and tho
reserve board.
Between October 15 and November 1
tho reserve board plans to have tho new
currency system In operation, and mem
bers believe present hoarding will then
cease.

Income Reduced More Than
$6,000,000 in First Week
of September Cotton
Roads Hard Hit By
Slump.
"With few exceptions, gross earnings of
the railroads In the United States for the
first week of September continued to show
decreases compared with tho same period
last year. Moderate Improvement is
shown by some roads, but the leading
systems of the country arc generally
below their last ycar'3 figures. The fall
ing off during the first week of Septem
ber was $0,491,130, or 5.7 per cent.
The roads showing Improvement are the
Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville,
Minneapolis and St. I.oula, Denver nnd
Itlo Grande. Western Pacific, and Mobile
and Ohio. The unusually light movement
of cotton, which Is generally a great fac
tor In the freight business of the rail
roads of the South, has adversely affected
the earnings of tho cotton roads.
To this can be attributed, In a largo
measure, tho smaller earnings of the
Louisville and Nashville, Cincinnati, New
Orleans and Texas, Southern and tomo
other larger systems. Losses In the West
and Southwest are not as large as form
erly, In some Instances, and indications are
for improvement, notably In Colorado and
Southern, Missouri Pacific, nnd Missouri,
Kansas and Texas.
Tho following tablo gives tho cross earn
ings of all railroads In the t'nlted States
reporting to Dun's Review for tho first
week of September, and the loss nH com
pared witli the earnings of the same roads
for the corresponding period a year ago;
also the roads that reported for the same
week In the preceding months, together
with the percentages of loss compared
with last year:

Net earnings of the Chicago North
western Ilnllway decreased $311,231 in the
year ending June 30, 1914, when compared
with the same period of the previous
year, according to the annual report Just
issued. The net earnings for the year
were $24,271,909. The total operating ex
penses for the year were $59,406,141. Of
this amount $12,179,GS9 was for charges
pertaining to the maintenance of way
