THE LOCAL MONEY SITUATION.
District Banks Not Affected by the
EinnncinI StrinrencN

J
Financial Stringency.
The local money situation reflects only to
a very limited extent the financial strin-
/ gency and general disturbing conditions in
| other cities. Rates are higher for call
/ loans, and for time loans on collateral, and
! the banks are not inclined to lend money
! on collateral even at 8 per cent to new
! people, but it IS stated that the banks are
! in as prosperous and secure position as
| any in the country. Loans on real estate
are being renewed generally without ad-
vance in rates.
! An officer of one of the largest and most
| conservative national banks said yesterday
| regarding the situation:
| Some of the banks have notified their
! customers that the rates on collateral
/ loans will be advanced to per cent on
| January /. Others have already advanced
| their rates to that figure, l understand 1t
| is also fact that there is a disposition
| quite natural and entirely praissworthy TO
! refuse loans to new customers on collateral.
| The long period OF low rates followed by
| the present general prosperity certainly
| warrants q return of 8 per cent money for
! a time at least
One of the largest borrowers of money
! expressed much the same opinion:
! lG DdllAs Id Nt -lOdlitu out lHetI money
! on collateral as far as they wish to and
! their refusal at this time to accommodate
new customers Is not surprising 1t would
| involve calling loans from present custo-
mers to place with new parties, and this
has not been the policy of the local banks
at any time, even when higher rates could
be obtained. Present loans are largely,
if not wholly, on local securities, of which
the value Is known. There has been no
floating of new concerns, no underwriting
Of industrial securities. and the result is
that Washington business men know their
banks to be in an eminently satisfactory
position.
The present depression in the New York
| stock market and especially the large de-
clines in the prices of industrial securities
has tended to make real estate loans desir-
able to many cautious investors 1t is said
that with satisfactory real estate securi-
ties there is at present no trouble in OBJ
tanning loans at 1-2 TO . IL per cent.
