money situation during the short week
ended on Thursday last. Such tendency
as was exhibited was toward u trmer
tone. but this applied 10 time funds, and
call rates ranged about the same as dur
Ing the previous week. The prevailing
feeling among bankers seemed TO be that
owing 10 such precaution as had been
taken by bankers throughout the country
the situation IS well In hand. and that
while rates will remain firm throughout
the remainder OF the year any serious
money trouble will be averted by the re-
strictions placed upon borrowings and
gradual curtailment OF loan accounts.
Foreign reports indicate strengthen

is believed that the worst is over. that
from this time on the trend will be In the
direction OF building up rather than de-
pleting reserves Of the leading financial
institutions Last weeks Bank OF Eng
