NEW YORK, August 24.-While It is ad-
mitted that the actual benefits that Will
be afforded the money market by Secretary
Cortelyou's plan will be considerable. it is
believed in important banking circles that
through a restoration Of confidence far more
important relief will be given the money
market and the financial situation generally.
Men whose sources of Information are ex-
cellent think that a far larger amount Of
money has been withdrawn from the regu-
lar channels during the last six months
than is realized even In financial circles.
A man who has been active In Wall street
affairs for many years and who Is acknowl-
edged to be a shrewd observer Of conditions
says that according to the information the
investment buying Of the leading stocks in
small amounts Is much larger in the aggre-
gate than the public reports have indi-
Gated. He is certain that as confidence
comes back 1t will be found that there is a
large amount of money throughout the
country seeking investment, q good portion
of which will be placed in the standard Sc
curities unless they should be. unduly ad-
vanced in the near future. He points out
that the direct benefit of the odd-lot in
vestment buying Is twofold, fnasmuch as
it takes from the market the floating supply
of stocks. some of which may be In weak
hands and steadily brings to this center an
amount of money which is necessarily large
in the aggregate.
Conservative operators will advise against
and will take measures to prevent any
strikingly active speculation in stocks that
may be undertaken by small interests dur
ing the next few weeks and perhaps
months. They realize that the money mar
ket the world over has been in a critical
condition for some time, and that 1t would
be suicidal to use large amount of money
to carry on an active speculation in stocks
until the conditions underlying the money
market shall reach a much more normal
state than now exists.
1t is understood that President Stickney
Of the Chicago Great Western plans to re-
turn from Europe some time next month.
1t Is still expected that the London finance
