 The operation has an important bearing also on the immediate money situation, owing to the large borrow inEs in foreign money made for New York benefits ih the few last months and which are maturing constantly at the present time. Various rumors were current today of intended recourse to foreign money markets for several other important railroad systems. which are in need of large sums or capital to carry out protected improve. ments. The effect of the breaking of the drought in the winter wheat re- zion had some belated effect in today's market but these have been offset by the contrary influence of the weakness in Pennsylvania Today's market was un- settled ct times by the violent slump in Interborough Metropolitan conse- uuent on the withdrawing of the peg which has ben inserted in that stock at fifty since the reorganization plan went into effect.
