juncture. with the incres sed uncertainty

war to a peace basis, and other equally
unfavorebl influences at work In the

IL Money EasierS

On the floor OF the Stock Exchange
money was quoted yesterday at SO,
lending and renewing. This might have
been an indication OF a practical re-
relaxation OF the restrictions by the
money committee: II might, too. have
been significant Of what was thought
necessary to stop the decline. AS to
that II was remarked that were such
declines as yesterdays. following long
decline over two weeks in many issues,
to continue for two or three days there
would be only two means left to the
parties In control to do. They might
themselves buy stocks in such volume
as to offset the offerings from the public
or they might relieve the strain upon
the supply OF money to such extent that
the public itself might enter into the
situation and purchase stocks released
at higher prices. But that Is a matter
OF the tomorrow. Yesterdays quotation
OF money was telephoned to an officer
OF banking institution. His answer
was: "Is that SO? We are lending and
renewing at 6 per cent" He asserted
that none OF the borrowers from the
bank paid OF loans to take advantage
OF the opportunity apparently presented
In the slightly lower rates quoted.
