ing tendency for money. Call loan re-
newals ranged as high as per cent.
and some loans were made as high as
~ per cent. The bank statement at
the end OF the week did not make very
good reading. The enormous decrease
in deposits WAS only partly compen-
stated for the falling off In the loan
item. and the surplus reserve dropped
over thirty-ftve million dollars. to a
fgure smaller than any since RsateeR

fuencing the markets. The great Of
