Duplication OF Reports.

Discussion OF the Money Committees
resources OF the nation brought forth
numerous facts that were overlooked
during the two days Wall street was
kept IN suspense regarding what was
in store for 1t. One thing, II now de-
velops, that instead Of loans having in
creased from the $500, 900 level,
which was considered the limit, to over
s1,00O,o0o,000 as reported in some
quarters, brokers' loans have increased
only>25 or 80 per cent. above the $780,
100000 figure. = The explanation Of the
mistake in the billion dollar statement
's that there have been many instances
of duplication in reports OF Stock Elk
change houses in their daily reports. It
Is said that when the brokers were first
called upon for reports a number of
firms were carrying larger amounts than
they were using. but rather than de-
crease their gross amount Of borrow
ings reloaned part of their funds to
other houses. For instance. a house
with SIS, 100000 of loans might have
a surplus OF five or ten million and in
repoi ting its loans turned in the gross
amount although the money II loaned
to another firm was duplicated ry the
borrowing in its report. While this,
OF course. does not At in with the state
1nent that loans actually jumped to the
billion dollar level II clears up any mis-
that local banks permitted
brokers to freely expand their loans
without taking action
