NEW JERSEY BANKERS WANT TRANSFER TO N, Y. DISTRICT Object to Being Placed Under Super vision of Bhlla. Reserve Bank. National banka In Ndrthern New Jer sey have petitioned tho Federal Meseno Hoard, through the Dunking and Currency U'ommltteo oi thu New Jers'uy Uaiikors Association, to transfer the banks of that part of the State from tho Vhlladolphla 1'edcral Ileservo District to tho Federal District in Now York. It Is not likely that such action will bo taken by the federal lleserve Hoard, however, In view of the latter's selection of a Now Jeisey banking commissioner as a clerk ana director of the local reserve bank. The arguments presented to the Federal Uoard of Now Jersey bankers embody these features; .

We are advised by the banks of northern Jsew Jersey that of tho checks which they re ceive on deposit drawn on the cities of New York and Philadelphia from 85 per cent, to almost 100 per cent, arc drawn on New York city, and on account of tho large volume and amount of these checks payable In New York city It Js essential that thoy be sent directly thoro In order to Insure prompt presentation and prompt notice In case Of ncm-paymont. It is impracticable to send tnceo checks to New York by way of the Philadelphia Itrnerva Dank. This very same question will nrlso in connection with tho very heavy volumo of checks pnynbls In northern New Jersoy which aro received "on deposit by tho New York city banks. A considerable number of the hanks in northern New Jersey at certain times In the year purchase commercial paper. Tills Is nil purchased through New York brokers, and Is usually pasted upon by New York banks be foro being purchased.

EASTERN COLLEGE SQUADS FAVORING OPEN STYLE GAME Football Coaches Are Test ing the Plan of Using For ward Passes From Mass and Wide Formations. -That the Kastern college nnd univer sity football teams arc testing the so called open games with Its many varia tions was shown In numerous games on Saturday. Forward passing from both mass nnd widespread formations was al most ns common as line plunges and end runs. The teams of both the large and small institutions used the play re peatedly, the success or failure of the maneuvre depending more on the defense of the opponent than the method of de ploying tho offense. Tho upset which marked the play among the major elevens cannot, however, be charged entirely to this stylo of game, which Kastern conches have heretofore been loath to adopt except as a bec ondary form of attack. Tho defeat of Pennsylvania by Franklin nnd Marshall camo as tho result of tho powerful of fense and defense, coupled with ability to follow the ball and to profit by thi Quakers' errors. Collgate's triumph over Cornell was duo to much the Bsme con dition, although tho winning score was made on u short forward pass following a return run of a kick-off. Fumbling by Cornell at critical stages nullified many yards gained by the Ithaca team In straight play. Strength and weakness developed In unexpected quarters. Princeton found nucknell harder to defeat than Rutgers a week ago. Virginia gave Yale a sur prising tussle, the .Southerners showing an all-around knowledge of tho game that caused the Ells uneasiness until tho llnal whistle. Harvard, on the other hand, outplayed the Springfield Y. M. C. A. College, one of the lirst of the Kastern Institutions to develop the open game, using the tactics that have made the Teachers" formidable for several Bcaons. Captain Brlckley kicked his first Held goal of the season and scored tv.o touchdowns. The Crimson play, both offensively and defensively, was the best shown so early In the season In sev eral years. With one or two exceptions, tha de velopment of the Eastern Elevens was demonstrated tu be ahead of last year at this time, and large scores were fre quent. Harvard, Dartmouth, Syracuse, Brown, Pittsburgh and tho Army all rolled up totals that range from 0 to 60 points. Eastern point honors went to the Washington and Jefferson team, which crossed the century score mark against Dickinson, Indicating that the 1311 eleven has the same power and dash that so distinguished the team last year.

EVENING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER FINANCIAL SITUATION HOME AND ABRO AD-MARKET REPORTS FINANCIAL OUTLOOK MOST ENCOURAGING AS NEW WEEK OPENS Situation Generally In Better Shape and Recent Devel opments Point to Early General Resumption. With the beginning of each week there come signs of Improvement In the finan cial situation generally, and more optim istic talk of an early readjustment which shall permit of a reopening of the coun try's stock exchanges. The export situation Is In unusually good shape, with tho volumo of shipments from this country breaking records In many Instances. This naturally reflects a better condition among tho Industries. Textile mills aro being put back to a normal basis, because of tho Increasing demands for finished products from for eign countries thnt heretofore dealt en tirely with Germany, and Incrensed In quiries for Iron nnd steel products havo led to a belief that this Industry Is on the verge of an Important revival. Our foreign credit Is being maintained as It should: there has como a loosening In tho money market which forecasts a decline In rotes; tho deficits In reserve In the N'atlonal bank, particularly In New York, are being cut; greater freedom Is being permitted brokers In stock and bond transactions, nnd soma of the large banks nre preparing to retire quantities of clearing house certificates. Again, thero la every confidence that the application for a 5 per cent, freight rate Increase by tho Eastern railroads will bo granted by tho Intcrstnto Com merce Commission following the rehear ing on October 19. Should the increase bo allowed, there would bo less fear of heavy foreign selling of American securi ties here following tho reopening of tho exchanges, since there would thus be Im ported to the roll Issues a grenter stnblllty that would Induce foreign hold ers to retain such Investments. The reopening question will undoubtedly be settled In London. Thero will prob nbly to no movo mndo by the OCew York Exchange until after It has been told of the British reopening. A London cable announced today that tho middle of No vember is being talked of there ns tho probable date of an ofUclal resumption of trading. The now Federal banking system la expected to hegln operation October 15, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo an nounced today. It will be started In the three Federal reserve districts of N'ew York, Chicago and St. Louis, nnd then be put Into operation In the other nlno cities. Secretary McAdoo expressed tho belief that tho complete list of Class C directors will be announced beforo tho erid of this week. It will not bo necessary for the directors to obtain permanent headquar ters at once. They can perfect their or ganizations and begin operations In tem porary buildings, making deflnlto ar rangements after the Installation of the new system. Under the Federal reserve act the sys tem can bo put Into effect at tho dis cretion of tho Secretary of the Treasury. FINANCIAL BRIEFS The manner In whloh the Stato of Ten nessee floated a loan of $1,-)00,000 In Now York has become known. Secrotnry Mc Adoo, It Is understood, deposited $1,000,000 of tho Federal Government's gold coin with tho National Park Bank, of New York, and tho bank, ns soon ns the money was received, mado tho loan. Bnnkors say that tho nctlon of the Secre tary of tho Treasury was without parallel and thnt It virtually amounts to an In direct loan to Tennessee by the Govern ment. John II. Mason, vice president of the Commercial Trust Company, ns chairman of tho Executive Committee of tho Amer ican Bankers' Association, will make a report of the committee's work for tho year on the first day of tho convention of tho association In Richmond, Va., which begins October 13 and continues un til tho 16th. Levi L. Rue, president of tho Phila delphia Natlonnl Bank, Is spending a fow days' vacation out of town. The average ratio of reserve of Stato banks and trust companies of Maryland as of September 11 was 10.73 per cent., nccordlng to a summary Issued by Bank Commissioner Downs.
