Said local banker yesterday concerning the
statement by J. B. Forgan. president OF the
First National Bank OF Chicago. that money
will be much easier after the first of the year:
This statement applies more to Chicago and
New York than to cities like Indianapolis.
Easy money applies to cities where there is
much borrowing on stock exchange collateral
really applies only to the condition of that part
OF the money market connected directly with
loans on Stock Exchange collateral. When mon
loans on Stock Exchange collateral, and when
the call rate is high-there are few. IL any

tight money, in their real meaning, should
never be applied to the money market Of In
