MONEY AND MANIPTLAT1ON.

A well known banker said yesterday in discussing
money market manipulation:
Money naturally active because OF tremendous
business transactions in all parts of the country. is
I'm Wall Street, made unnaturally close through
manipulation; first by broker or brokers bidding
up money and not taking II. The Governing Com
mittee OF the Stock Exchange has placed It's pan
on borrowing money at high rates and paying IN
terest thereon that 1t may be withheld from use
elsewhere. The penalty fixed by the Stock Ex-
change for this kind of manipulation Is suspension
or expulsion and is effective The second crime
cannot be legslated against by the same BODY, as
the offenders not. rule. members or the
Exchange. It can only be treated through the
Grand Jury. and will be If persisted In. ANY rate
for money is perfectly legitimate when obtained
without collusion. by bank. trust company or ind,
yidual and as a result of competition among real
borrowers. Fortunately for our commission houses,
the oldest and best of our trust companies and
many of our banks charge more than per cent.
The ndictable crime arises from the agreement
among lenders to fix daily rate for their money
and withhold II from use unless that rate is paid.
This is not only dishonest. but criminal: and being
an agreement in restraint OF trade. the offenders
can be proceeded against civilly as well and made
to pay all damages resulting therefrom
