Some of the rarei rniture, necessarily of foreign de ,rn, was imported at great cost fron irope. Es6anay had an expert spen< jeks procuring material for the in rior scenes.

In ^ explanation of the new regulations, a the board tonight issued a statement which said: "It ha<? been the aim of the board 3 to do everything in its power to create tor the American acceptance, that is , dollar exhange, a dominating position D in the world market. Present conditions offer in this respect a great op1 portunity In widening somewhat th^ facilities of federal reserve banks in dealing with American bankers' ac ceptances the board is attempting to ( [ give the member banks a larger opportunity for developing their sphere : of usefulness in this respect. America's Chance "The United States should now ?do what Europe has done for many generations for the United States, that is | to say, the bank facilities of the United 5 ! States should be used for the carrying, si - . _ . . - of import and export transactions ior r foreign countries just as much as Europe up to now carried by its ac1 ceptances the import and export trans* actions of the United States. In order " to do this with the exchange market disorganized it was thought that it would facilitate foreign transfers if 1! liberal conditions should be allowed * for the renewal c. . - h drafts so as to s enable these foreign countries to have 1 ample time to produce the necessary cover against the acceptances drawn e by them." Members of the board said there is no connection between revision of the e acceptance regulations and the visit of the Anglo-French commission to the United States to take up exchange 3 problems with 'American bankers. It was pointed out today, however, rj that the new acceptance regulations s might facilitate the credit loan sought - by the Anglo-French commission. Thp board has liberalized conditions so s that foreign and American bankers i. _ r ^-1- .. ^ ^ ~ e may use a pan 01 me resources ui tue - federal reserve system in taking care s of purchases made here for exporta| tion. " Tremendous I'esoiirces. y ; .On the last day the condition of the s twelve reserve banks was published, j v 1 they had combined resources in gold in a their vaults of about $209,000,000.

Come all. I ALI I W ihison, Mgr. millions. .No regulation has been made by the board fixing a maximum sum or percentage up to which reserve banks may invest in this kind of paper, and the only declaration of policy in this respect has been that the banks should consider not only local demands, but also requirements in- other districts and that they should "watch carefully the aggregate amount" of acceptance held from time to time. If American bankers decide to extend credit in this way the $209,000,000 resources of the reserve banks could be more than doubled in working value if the banks or firms which rediscount the acceptances elected to take federal reserve notes instead of book credits. The reserve act requires only a 40 per cent gold reserve against federal reserve notes issued so that in reality federal reserve notes amounting to more than $500,000,000 could be issued against existing federal reserve bank gold resources of more than $113,000,000.
