Officials OF the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York made IT plain yes
terday that the rediscount rate OF
customers paper secured by Liberty
Loan bonds, and presented by mem
Der banks, will be not more-and very
probably less-than the per cent re-
discount rate on ninety-day CONNER
cial paper. According to the Federal
reserve officials several conferences
have been held on the problem but no
decision has been reached. One is ex-
pected this week, however. Banks
are particularly interested in the re-
discount rate to be charged in order
that they may be in a position to de-
termine the rate they should charge
their customers on the loan. 1t IL ex-
pected the rediscount will be used
largely by employers of labor, who
will purchase Liberty bonds which the
employees may pay for on partial pay
ments out OF their weekly salaries. In
such cases many firms would be un-
able to float the loans without the as
sistance OF a liberal rediscount. Incl
dentalIy. the 4 per cent rate proposed
Is spoken OF In the financial district
as satisfactory TO the bankers.

According to the bulls the Russian
crisis again having been settled, with
various other favorable factors hav-
ing developed, it is high time to buy
stocks-almost any stock will do. as
the bears. the bulls say, are on the
run and the big men are encouraging
an upward movement. There is just
as much, IL not more, reason for dis
elimination in the purchase OF stocks
at this time as there was a few weeks
ago, and although the current better
ment In prices Is based on tangible
evidence OF generaiIy improved con-
ditions. there is no certainty that the
bear element has been swept of its
feet or that the advance marks the
beginning OF a long period of rising
market values. But sentiment, never
theless, has changed for the better,
and the relative cheapness of most
stocks Is receiving more attention
from the public, which yesterday was
a moderate participant in the deal
ings. Shorts covered, and a large
amount OF borrowed stock was re-
turned, although at the same time
new borrowing was reported, and in
rather large volume. OF the leading
stocks the best buying was in United
States Steel, Lackavanna Steel,
American Locomotive. Anaconda, In
spiration, International Mercantile
Marine preferred, and Westinghouse.
Among the low priced rails q good de-
mand was reported for Pittsburgh
and West Virginia. And among the
cheap priced steel shares that new
conner. Superior Steel. was a stronS
feature.
