eemher 5. shows signs OF hsltsns. the de-
crease for the week ending December Il
being $s5s.05a. This contraction was
brought about mainly through the enor-

The increase In loans = the largest re-
ported since election and IS in Itself q
striking evidence or the present workings
OF tle low money market.

New York banks were s4te.I-e 100. The

compelled 70 borrow or this side 20 relieve
