 In connection with the money situa- ton, it is noteworthy that despite the activity of the past fortnight brokers loans have probably been very much reduced. This is due not only to the note of caution sounded by financial interests respecting excessive specula- ton but also to the fact that large amounts of securities have been taken out of the market by actual purchase.
