Immense Longs
Daily Tor Speculation

That $4,000, 600 is the average arnount
lent daily for the transaction Of bust
ness on the New York stock axchange
was among the startling testimony
given today. Sometimes the amount
has run as high as S5,0O0,00o
The witness who gave this testimony
was j. II. Griesel who has been a rnem-
Der OF the New York stock exchange
for % years In his testimony Griese
spoke carelessly OF vast sums. as though
he were discussing dollars and cents
instead of millions,
The biggest lenders, the witness said
are the Chase National bank the City
bank, the National Bank of Commerce
the First National bank, Speyer & Co.
Kuhn Loeb & Co., and J. P. Morgan u
Co.
The witness described himself as i
member of the loan crowd" on the
New York exchange, and testified that
the lending usually began at about IL
o'clock, or an hour after the stock mar
ket opened in the morning.
When the witness began to use tech
nical terms, Attorney Samuel Inter
meyer, counsel for the committee. asked
the meaning of the phrase renewal
rate" which Griesel had mentioned sew
eral times. This, said the witness. was
the amount of money known to be avail
able each morning for exchange pur-
poses.
Mr.. Griesel qualified as an authority
on the subject when he said he repre-
sented a number of big banking houses
on the New York stock exchange.
Kuhn Loeb & Co. and j 2. Morgan &
Co. do big business, but do not stay
in the market all the time" said the
witness. Sometimes they are out of
the market for mo1th at a time No
body goes to Morgan & Co. unless they
need help badly"
"The city bank" lie testified, did not
loan as much money as Kuhn Loeb &
Co. Sometimes Kuhn Loeb & Co. when
they get lot of money from a bond is
sue. lend out $15,0OO000 day.
This is true Of the other big lenders
also"
Uutermeyer asked the witness If he
had a record of his business on Novem-
Der 29, when call money was at 20 per
cent Griesel thought he loaned $40 ,000-
600 on that day Griesel said the bulle-
stand did not cover any loans made
after II O'Clock. on November 29 about
IS 600 600 was loaned before noon on
that day the witness loaned $4,000 600
