NO CREDIT GIVEN

Government Not Party To Conspiracy?AH
Appeals Denied.
Washington, Sept. 23.?Gradual
i return to the law of supply and de.
mand as a governing influence over
- prices ,and the end of "war charges'
> for necessary commodities was preI
dieted today by Government officials
i in explaining the government's atti
tude on credit extension.
; Secretary Houston declared requests
for credit could not be list;
ened to where such aid might mean
the preservation of high price levels,
i He added that many persons com'
plaining of what they term the rei
strictive policy of the federal re:
serve 'board wish credit to enable
them to hold their commodities until
market conditions produce higher
prices. Mr. Houston said the government
could not lend its aid un
der such circumstances without be
' coming a party to a conspiracy
against the consumer.
Credit for marketing of commodities
may be had from the local
banks. Governor Harding of the
board has told the representatives
of the cotton and wool growers
' stock men and farm associations
who have sought the influence of
the board for the extension of
i rredit. DisDosal of their stocks as
* \
the demand will absorb them, Mr.
Harding said, will- enable^ producers
to liquidate their holdings
5 and ease a falling market.
