market today from start to finish and
carried dealing to tho two million
share level. There was less severity
In the money stringency today than
on the two previous days.
Compared with Yesterday the money
market was regarded as easy and to-
DAYS rates were cheerfully and even
eagerly paid. The possibility OF a veal,
bank return received little attention.
as 1t was assumed that with the pass
Ing OF the last actual business day III

crisis in money might he assumed TO
be fairly passed. 1t was this assump.
ton that animated the speculation
throughout and held prices up to the
closing. which was Arm and at abo 1t

was so general as to require no spec.
