at the end of the week. and temporarily
disturbed the market, although the de-
cision of the commission to make an in
ouiry of its own concerning the suffi-
Cheney OF present rates held open the hope
to the roads of ultimate success.
There was no recurrence of alarm over

ever, the realization of the necessity or
caution in the use of credits and of fur
ther difficulties to be encountered through
the excess of demands for capital over
the available supply throughout the
world.
Discount rates hardened in London and
Berlin Berlin withdrew gold from Lon

in New York. but obtained none.

whose room was in the second story.
If Ted and Rob looked that way. she
