Wall Street Now Has Its Own
Ghost Talker - ?It Was Learned"
NEW YORK Wall Street hxw
A talking ghost.
Traders up and down the ntreet
don't like to talk much when It's "on
tho record", but they are willing to
Bay plenty with the preface, "Now,
boys, this Is confidential." - - - -i
just to centralize everything which
Is off the record, confidential, be
tween ourselves and not for publica
tion, the New York Stock Exchange
"him Instituted weekly prca confer-
oncer, for the first time In recent his
tory. At the Initial get-together. 27 fln
firtclnl writers sat down around a
couple of long tables In the directors' J
room at the Stock Exchange and pro
nounced It a good Idea.
President Richard Whitney entered
with Jason Westerfleld, publicity man.
' H Was learned'
"Gentlemen," said Westerfleld,
"Mister Whitney."
The president, wearing a dark busi
ness suit, bow tie and gold watch
chain, sat down and said, "Now,
shoot."
And the boys shot, Whitney, who
Is a young looking man with dark
linlr parted on the left side, took the
questions with a smile as lie puffed
oii-'one cigarette after another.
He answered the technical ques
tions to the extent of his personal
knowledge, or he said frankly he
didn't know. Nothing; he said could
be quoted directly.
That's where the ghost comes In.
Statements by Whitney can be used
with the explanation -"it was learned
today at the Exchange-" - '
- But even the ghost wouldn't talk
on soma topics.
"Will the Exchange go on a flife
day week?" It was asked.
"We liaven't considered It," it was
learnvd today at the Exchange. -
The rniiiotnlile
"But the financial writers would
like to have a five-day week." per
sisted the reporter.
"And again." It was learned today
at the Exchange, "that Is something
for the future to determine." tV
The press conference Itself was a
mark of change. With the control of
stock exchanges through the nation
al government, reporters have noticed
n different attitude along the Street.
Traders are willing to meet the pub
lic through the press.
' "Perhap we have entered Into an
otlK1! era." it was learned today at

GROWTH RINGS ON
TREES PREDICT A
WETTER ERA SOON
liy F. H. Colton
(Associated Prese Science Writer)
WASHINGTON (Wetter times
and hence better times for the
farmer are foreseen, by a forest
service scientist, who finds the an
nual growth 'lings of trees in the
northwest presaging an end. of
drought.
The growth of a tree each year
adds another ling of new wood on
its: outer circumference, clearly dis
tinguishable from the growth ring
of -the year before. Scientist have
found that the thickness of each
year's ring varies with the amount
of heat and moisture available to the
tree,. In wet years the rings are
thick, In dry years thin.
"According to the record of tree
rings In ponderosa pine of the Pa
cific northwest, we are at the bot
tom of a never major drought!,"
says the forest eervlce, "and the up
turn to good moisture years should
come in three to eight years."
This verdict Is based on a study
of tree rings by Dr. Waiter H. Meyer.
They reveal, by their varying thick
ness cycle of drought ana pieuuiui
rain regularly recurring for centu
ries.
Drought Average Year
"Dr. Meyer's record of the tree
rings goes back to 1633." the forest
service statement ways, "In It . he
found rhythmlo cycles of good
growth and poor growth. Indicating
clearly the existence of definite cli
matic cycles. .. .
'The length of the cycle from peak
to peak of drought varied in the past
from 17 to 36 years and. averaged
about 23 years. The duta was ob
tained from hundreds of trees scat
tered throughout the forest region
of eastern Oregon and Washington.
The latest period of retarded
growth seeins to hove started about
1917. This period of slow growtn
also appears to be one of the most
pronounced and of the longest dura
tion In the entire record.
Trees Keep 'KeeordV
This last statement partially bears
out the weather bureau's verdict
that this year's drought has been
the most severe on record, at least
from the standpoints of area affected
and deficiency in rainfall. Weather
bureau records, however, do not go
back more than 100 years except in
a few sections of the country, and
those older ones were kept by other
agencies before the government
started recording weather condi
tion.
The huge sequoias or "big trees"
of California, howiever, Have been
keeping accurate records of climatic
Changes, draughts and wet periods
since before the birth of Christ.

amounted to $547,000,000. also a gain
over the figure of 3fl3. 100.000 for
1033.
Demltiutlon u Factor
Higher prices per unit of goods oolri
contributed to the larger trade fig
ures as measured In value. But dol
lar devaluation, which made dollars
cheaper In terms of foreign curren
cies, is also considered a factor.
The department of commerce in
dex, adjusted for seasonal variation-.,
shows the actual quantities of goods
exported were 48 per cent of the
1023-25 average, compared with 2ii
per cent last year. Imports were 43
per cent of the 1023-25 average, com
pared with 27 per cent a year ano.
While- total exports in April were
about tx per cent leso than March,
the change was seasonal, largely due
to tapering off of raw cotton ship
ments. Cotton shipments also con
tinued to decline in May.

Analysis of the first quarter by the

No!
A popular conception of
a banker as depicted by
some of the metropolitan
newspapers and some mag
azines is that of a cold type
of individual whose vocab-'
ulary is more or less limit
ed to the word "No."
The facts are that banks
make their money by saying-
"Yes." Loaning " is a
prime function of a bank,"
A banker must say "Yes",
in order to' meet overhead,
and make profits. ' 5
When a banker says
"No" it means that in his
judgment, based upon ex
perience with hundreds 'of.
borrowers, the bank wilt be
best benefited by such an
answer. - .-
