ference with official of the federal re
serve bank during tha market session
but the result ot their deliberations, if
any definite plan was formulated, re
mained unknown at the market's close.
There wa a ctrong Impression, however.
that the local money pool had decided to
remove the long existing ban upon call
money rates, the effect of which might
be a much higher lending rate.
Various reasons were advanced In ex
planation of the attitude of the bankers,
but it was recalled that a 10 per cent In
stallment on the fourth Liberty loan falls
du tomorrow. Involving payment of $180,
000,000 from this section slone.
Additional uneasiness was created by the
publication of the German chancellor's
speech to the Reichstag, traders accepting

mediate peace negotiations.

last hour, new buying ensuing on th
demand for Baldwin Locomotive, ahlp

and Sixteen Will Be Given
Chance to Register
Next Month.

set aside November-14 as registra f
tion day for all boys who have air

and up to 18 years. This registra
tion of the boys of our nation is not
compulsory, but any boy who fails
to register on this day in order that
the government may make the best
use of his services in the occupation,
for which he is best fitted, is as much
a slacker as the man who failed tov
register for military service. ';
After he has registered the matter
of placing him where he can be ot
best service will be a mutual con
cern, as the boys' parents will bo
consulted and their "opinions ad-,
hered to.

general classes into which this re
serve will be divided is industrial'
and agricultural.

spring there will be a great demand?
for boys on the farms and the work

greatest importance.

and city district will no douot bs

the teachers asked to act as
registrars.
