Money and Credit

Gail money was again scarce yester-
day, and though the money pool once
more found it necessary to put forth
funds demands on it were not 80 large
as on Wednesday and Thursday, when
preparations for the final payment of
the Liberty Loan were being made.
Rates Of call money were firm at 8 per
cent on mixed collateral and 61A on
industrial collateral. Time money
rates were the same and the situation
remained unchanged

AS scheduled, the Stock Exchange
yesterday "disciplined" those who
are responsible for the gyrations of
General Motors. 1t was very fnild
discipline" and quite ineffective,
except, perhaps, as far as it may
serve to hang a red light on the
stock so that those who trade in it
may know they are flirting with dam
ger. The stock was removed from
the list Of the Exchange clearing
house, which means simply that di-
rect deliveries will have to be made
on all transactions. That will incon-
venience no one, inasmuch as trans
actions in this stock are very light
at present. The reason officially as
signed for this action was that that
stock is not widely enough distri-
buted to warrant continuing 1t on
the list of stocks cleared. Apparent
ly the Exchange did not care to do
more than administer this gentle re-
proof, which, incidentally, came
not from the governors but from the
Clearing House committee, acting
Independently. Some Of the gov
ernors have, however, unofticially
expressed disapproval Of the hand
ling Of the stock, and officially they
have made some inquiries. Recently,
it is understood, the leader Of the
group which controls the stock ap-
peared before the governors and
was asked to explain why the issue
continued to move so violently. No
satisfactory explanation was forth
coming, however, the individual in
question apparently having little
fear of any action the board might
take. So far it has taken none at
all. It is an interesting situation.
Instances of the kind are common
enough on the curb, but rather un-
usual on the Stock Exchange. Per-
haps General Motors is listed in the
wrong place.
