MONEY RATES HARDEN
WITH UPLIFTING PRICES
Great Financial Centers of the
World are Affected

NEW YORK. Oct Am uplift in
prices of stocks was achieved last week
in the face of narrowing resources of
the money market, which induced a no.
table hardening of money rates at all
the great money centers OF the world
The raising of the discount rates by
the Imperial Bank of Germany and the
Bank of England, constituted a warn
ing of requirements in prospect that
is scarcely to be disregarded by those
dependent on the future course Of
money rates.
The higher call loan rate in New
York was ascribed TO the shifting of ac-
counts in connection with October pay
ments of about $40. 200. 900 in dividends
and interest, in itself a gratifying
showing and is expected to furnish an
investment fund to benefit the security
market
There are to be considered also the
cash requirements for the movement of
crops. The advance in time loan rates,
especially for short periods, was the
consequence of this demand
In the London market the capital of

the first half year, the latter an un-
precedented record. A similar contrac-
ton is observable in the issue of new
securities in New York. Large intended
issues of new capital are known to be
deferred but not abandoned.
The comfortable feeling regarding
the corn crop constituted a substantial
