GOLD .MARKET .URGED
The January bulletin of the Feder
al Reserve Board which has just been
completed says the restoration of a
free gold market under proper condi
tions at as early a date as may be
feasible is strongly to be desired.
“A large absolute supply of gold."
•he bulletin says, “does not aopear to
be necessary to the successful main
tenance of the gold standard of a coun
try occupies the position of a banking
creditor holding a large volume of for
eign b:!ls and has an efficient bank
ing system.
“In the Uni‘ed States today both gold
and gold certificates have largely dis
appeared from circulation and thp re
maining currency in the hands of the
ceoDle now ccnsis's largely of Federal
Reserve notes National bank notes
and Federal Reserve Bank notes.”
The existence of a generally Inflat
ed codition of credit and prices thru
out the world again is noted and at
tention is called little change in the
"rice level. Efforts of business men to
stabalize prices can only temporarily
have the effect of tending to hold
"rices uo to their oresent level. A re
turn toward the old level of pric»8
will occur when normal industrial
conditions and the free international
movement of the precious metals
have been re-established.
