STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

Hardening of call money notwith- standing the unexpected bank state- ment of Saturday was due to the fact that federal reserve bank had a credit balance at clearing house of $52,000.- 900, while most of the other banks had debits. There has been conse- quently some calling of loans. The drain through federal reserve bank is attributed to United States and allied governments disbursements in the in terior against balances here. On Tues day subscription books close for last offering of S30O, 900, 900 certificates of indebtedness. However, payments are not required before September IT.
