LOANS CAUSE OF CONCERN Washington, Jan. 19. For the first time in several weeks, the fed eral reserve board's weekly report, made public today, of loans by its New York city members to brokers on stock market collateral, showed a slight decrease. Concern has been indicated in fi nancial and congressional circles by reason of the steady increase in stock market loans which recently result ed in their total figure running to a point about one billion dollars above the total of the year previous. While it was said at the white house that President Coolidge saw nothing alarming in the situation, the huge total called forth comment at the capitol, and a measure was introduced designed to curb loans of this character.

A farm bill that would assess the mar keted commodity to pay the cost of stabilization and protection was ad vocated tonight by Samuel H. Thomp son, president of the American Farm Bureau federation. Speaking before several hundred farmers attending the annual banquet of the Illinois Agricultural association, he proposed legislation that would keep the gov ernment out of business. "We want no government price fixing, we want no government sub sidy either direct or indirect," he emphasized. "We want to avoid put ting the government into business, and therefore we insist on a law that will require each marketed unit of the commodity to pay its share in the cost of its own stabilization and protection."
