RANK REDPENINGS INCREASE IN MAY Average of 125 a Week in April Being Raised, Accord- ing to R. F. C. Chief. Banks were being reopened at the rate of 125 a week during April, and that rate has increased during May, according to Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corpo- ration. Actual and conditional purchases of preferred stock in banks by the Reserve Finance Corporation, he reported, so far total more than $52.000,000. The Gov- ernment, he explained, stands ready to “expand that partnership wherever pos- sible and necessar Pouring of money by the corporation into business has decreased materially, Jones said in a formal statement. He added that repayments to the corpora- tion are increasing. Repaying $100,000 Daily. Farmers and live stock men who bor- rowed through the corporation’s re- gional agricultural credit corporations were described by Jones as Tepaying loans at the rate of $100,000 a day. They obtained $130,000,000 in seven months, he said, and have paid back $7.500,000. Banks and other borrowers who re- ceived more than a billion and a half have repaid $500.000,000, he added. “The advance toward national recov- ery. of which there has been a decided evidence now for a period of two months,” Jones said, “is supported by information reaching the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation. Two essen- tial elements on which this statement is based are the decrease in the num- ber of applications which the corpora- tion is receiving for loans to banks and the rate of liquidation on loans out- standing. “Reports to Washington from the Joan agencies throughout the country substantiate both of these conclusions, @ clear indication that the period of extreme gravity is behind us. “Up to the present time, the corpor- ation has been repaid approximately $500,000,000 of the money which it put into the financial and credit stream of the Nation prior to the bank holiday. Repayments to the regional agricul- tural Credit Corporations, which have Joaned $130.000,000, are being made at the rate of $100.000 a day and now total $7,500,000. These repayments seem a clear indication that the flow of money is being restored. Banks Being Restored. “The most important duty of the cor- poration today is the restoration of gound banking in those communities where such facilities are either lacking or greatly curtailed. Figures now avail- able for the month of April, show that through their own efforts and the as- sistance of Federal agencies, including the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion, banks were being reopened at the rate of more than 125 a week. There has been an improvement in that rate during May. “The extent to which the Reconstruc- tion Finance Coropration has definitely shared in banking restoration may be judged by the fact that actual and con- ditional purchases of preferred stock made by it so far total more than $52,- 000. oop'The Government to that extent has become a partner with various local in- terests throughout the United States in resumption of credit facilities. It stands Teady to expand that partnership wher- ever possible and necessary. It has been the aim of the corporation in each instance of preferred stock purchase to participate only in plans which would result in the creation of sound finan- cidl institutions.” L SIX SOUTHERN CITIES SEEK M.
