ial shrinkase = Improvement Re-
ported in the Iron Trade.

New York, Jan. 18.-Loan certincaSe1
! house during the recent financial
stringency reached a total of $97,OOO.-
600, according to the statement pre-
pared by President Alexander Gilbert,
of the clearing house association. OF
this amount, however, only s74,000,0O0
in certificates was put into actual,
, use.
The movement to retire these cer-
tificates began Immediately after the
crisis in the financial situation was
passed and has progressed rapidly
since. BY far the greater proportion
of the certificates, Gilbert says, have
now been retired. This is the first
public statement that has been made Of
the extent to which the clearing house
resorted to certificates to prevent ther
banks being drained of their cash and
to prevent bank embarrassments which
might have resulted from the contin-
Aed requirement of cash payment att
the clearing house when the recent
panic was at it's height
The growing abundance Of banking
facilities resulting from the return Of
the flow Of funds to deposits in the
central reserve banks, has furnished
means for more active stock market
operation, which have been largely
speculative. There has been large
selling to realize profits on the part
of earlier purchasers, which modified
the effect in a growing degree of new
outside buying and the demand from
the diminishing short interest. The
influence of the increasing ease Of
money has been affected by considera-
ton Of the decreasing activity OF
trade, which is contributing to the
return of the flow of funds from ac-
tive circulation.
Railroad earnings show material
shrinkage and plans for economy oc-
cupy a large part of the attention Of
railroad officials. Some improvement
is reported in iron trade conditions
over the holiday level.

in which serious difficulties may be
created, is in the case of borrowers
who have been extended line credit by

place their loans, and rumor is busy
with the names of several that may
