THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

New York, October 9.-Liberal buy ing of the New York city notes and a broader inquiry for various notes and
 bonds maturing within the next few years were the chief features Of finan- cial interest today. The demand came largely from out town banks which showed a desire to invest their idle cash on or near per cent basis. The amount of emergency curreney now outstanding has been productive of greater ease at all reserved center; and this condition is finding an outlet in the investment field.
 Unlisted bonds and variety of money issues of the better class was also abhorred to a greater extent than at any time since the closing of the stock exchange.
 The time money was in better sup ply because of the relatively better position of the local banks which are expected to report another large cash gain tomorrow. Some 30-day loans were made at 61h per cent on collat- eral of the highest grade, but renew als again ranged from 61a to per cent, with the bulk of the business nearer the high figure.
 Foreign exchange moved erratically opening well above yesterdays close but receeding in the later dealings. Brokers declared that foreign credit tors seemed less inclined to extend im- pending payments, this being attrib- uted to latest news from the treatre
