DECLINE IS ANALYZED Disturbances in Agricultural Mar kets Declared Inevitable Post war Derangement. WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. Bank credit 'has been steadily available for the successive seasonal requirements of agriculture,'' according to a statement tonight by the federal reserve board. designed as a reply to agricultural obr jections which appealed te the govern ment tor a further extension of agri cultural credit. Recent disturbances in price and demand which have been manifest in agricultural markets are "inevitable and unavoidable consequences of the economic derangements occasioned by the war' tha statement said. It added, however, that the gradual and regular movement of the crops was to be ex pected. Increase In Lous Reported. "Between January S and October 1 about BOO leading member banks, which report their condition weekly, and they represent approximately 70 per cent of member bank resources, have increased theiF loans for agri cultural, industrial and commercial purposes by an amount exceeding 1.800, 000.000. This great Increase in the credit extended has in the main been possible by the accommodation extended member banks by the federal reserve banks. "The 12 federal reserve banks have increased their holdings of agricul tural and commercial paper by more than $500,000,000 and from January 23 to October 1 Increased their is sues ef fedeFal reserve notes by more than J460.000.000. Discounts Are Reported. "Federal reserve banks having sur plus funds have extended accommo dation to federal reserve banks in agricultural and livestock districts by discounts, aggregating on October 1 more than $225,000,OQO. "The disturbances in price and de mand which have recently manifested themselves in markets for various agricultural and other commodities are unavoidable consequences of the economic derangements occasione4"by the war. The United States continues to have heavy volume of exports al though foreign demand for certain agricultural staples has somewhat decreased. But the chief market for our raw and manufactured products is at home and our present huge crops may be expected gradually and In regular course to move from pro ducers to consumers." Joint Conmltte Reports. t After consideration of the state ment issued by the federal reserve board, the joint committee of the re cent agricultural conference left here to deal with the matter submitted the following report to Chairman Charles S. Barrett ef the conference: "The statement issued tonight by the federal reserve board not only does not attempt to meet the situa tion and will not alter conditions, but is even couched in terms to sup port the price declines. The board's declaration that present disturbf ances are inevitable and unavoidable is lndefensiblein this crisis. "We advise that the next meeting (of the full conference) be . held here on October 28, to complete plans already discussed in executive session. Mr. Barrett, who is president ef the National Farmers' union, also issued a statement attacking the reserve board's statement as "quibbling iin essence" and offering "no relief what ever for agriculture from the present oppreseive financial condition."
