FINANCIAL MARKETS
CONTINUE TO SHOW
GREATER STRENGTH
Weekend Sees Situation in
Better Shape, With Tndica-
tions of Early Return to
Normal.

It is not unconservative to say that the
monetary situation is showing decided inn
provement. One of the best indications
of betterment is that a New York insti-
tuition, which Is notoriously stringent on
the appearance of any trouble, has this
week been offering money on call for the
first time since the war conditions de-
veloped
1t is true that in case OF default, when
loan of this character is called, the
lending bank has no Stock Exchange
where 1t can quickly realize on collateral,
and bank that makes a call loan takes
the risk of being hung up with IL indef
nitely. But the fact that they are more
ready to take such risks now is clear
proof that credit is getting more plentiful.
In connection with this II may also be
mentioned that many Stock Exchange
houses are asking more margin from
customers and in most cases the response
has been satisfactory. This course Is
justified by the fact that existing con-
tracts are based on purely arbitrary
prices-those of the close OF the En-
change on Tuly S0-while the conditions
might war; mt much lower figures were
free market available
ACCOUNTS BEING MARGINED.
Many accounts are being margined up
to % and 80 per cent. so that a gradual
process is in operation which is strength
wing open stock accounts so that II
would require a severe shrnkage from
July 30 prices to impair the soundness of
the street.
Another evidence of betterment Is that
a new low rate of per cent is being
made in discount rates on commercial pa
per. This is half a point off from the
previous minimum Only the choicest
credit commands the new low figure but
nevertheless its influence is felt on the
general tendency of the commercial bor-
rowing position. Institutions are buying
paper more freely, and there is an easier |
market in New England. very impor-
tant lending section.
Another measure toward relieving the |
situation promises soon to be in existence. |
Reference is made to the project for the |
zig bank pool to be formed for the pur- |
bose of assisting with loans such cotton |
planters as are compelled to carry over
part of their cotton crop. The Federal
Reserve Board has extended its moral
support to this proposition, and before
many weeks the position of the South
should be much better safeguarded
