market was the change in the general
business and financial outlook and a
complete abatement Of the monetary
stringency. On Monday call money
had been scarce at 81 per cent and time
funds were practically unobtainable
for short periods, while there was no
no market whatever for mercantile pa

to 3h per cent and time money was in
