In the money market problem. interest
has centered this week upon the question
of what substitute will be offered this au-
tumn for the relief that has been afforded
by the Treasury Departments measures for
several years. The Government refunding
law. with the bank note expansion included
large increases Of deposits in funds in Ma
tional banks, purchase and retirement of
bonds by the Government have all been re-
sorted to. until II is believed the available
supply of Government bonds has been swept
from the market. or reduced to such small
proportions that only considerable demands
lifts the price to a point where it IS IN
profitable TO use them either as security for
bank circulation or for Government depos-
its. The large growth in the Government
receipts from customs is proving sufficient
to more than offset the reduction in internal
revenue taxes by the abolition OF the war
taxes. Thu Governments surplus revenues
therefore. threaten to make troublesome
acquisitions upon the money market again.
while the available means OF relief are much
exhausted. This was the repressive infiu-
ence upon the stock market during the
week. and is expected to be so for the i'm
mediate future.

been active during the week, and have
