Bankers Give a Harding Ideas Upon Deposits
Bankers representing clearing house associations across the nation meet in Washington at the call of the Federal Reserve Board. They fail to decide on interest rate action for balances but plan a Chicago conference January 23 to seek an agreed basis to end competitive bidding for out of town deposits. Governor Harding says the board will not be bound by clearing house agreements and may raise rediscount rates as needed. He warns bankers not to bid up deposits and opposes converting deposits into investments. The resolution denounces sliding scale rules, urges independent Fed action, and condemns high interest on balances as unsound banking.
