Washington, March 2S-PIans for

Crowder insists the next draft shall

working in war Industries Will not
have these taken away for military
service. A strong minority of the

The arrival OF these men at the

New-York tribune., 1918-11-04

The developments in the money
market last week were conditioned
by the restraints imposed by the
money committee and the authori-
ties of the Stock Exchange. Although
money seemed to be easier than it
had been in months, Stock Ex-
change loans were greatly curtailed
Brokers were directed to bring down
their loans to the level of Septem-
Der 16, time before the expan-
sion resulting from the million
share days on the Stock Exchange
began. That the policy of the
money authorities sprang up from a
desire to conserve credit, rather
than from any Tightening Of money
conditions, was indicated by fall
of rates on cali money Friday af-
ternoon from the stabilized 6 per
cent to per cent. The break
seemed to be only temporary and
came after the main arrangements
of the day had been completed. The
payment of the first instalment on
the fourth Liberty Bonds swelled
the deposits of the banks, and the
injunction of the money committee
against 'sfurther expansion of
loans" prevented brokers from TAX
ing advantage Of the easier condi-
ton. Bankers, however, expressed
the opinion that the substantial
easing Of rates was only momentary,
and the fact that on the same day
the closing rate was 5Ia per cent
seemed to confirm this view. Gov
eymment Withdrawals will soon ab
sorb much Of the funds deposited
as Liberty Bond payments, yet the
condition of the money market is
expected to remain relatively
favorable and credit resources
should be available in greater vol
ume for essential industries AS
result Of the limit placed on loans
for Stock Exchange purposes.
