money at intervals ruled at high rates the
fact that the Clearing House banks had an
nounced their intention TO take out all the
loan certificates necessary TO prevent an
acute stringency in tho money market

decline brought in buying orders and sharp
advances ensued. The lowest figures
touched showed losses varying from 4 to

dividend of ~ and g. G. G.. & st. l.. an
