capital that large amounts are LETT with
the brokers at lower rates, and the dis
inclination of capitalists to buy com
mercial paper freely is one of the causes
which tends, with others, to increase
the plethora Of capital seeking employ
ment on call. For choice bills the rate
is Ease. The stock market is dull. In
