A Money Scare

great scare has got abroad. or
rather there is an apparent attempt
to get great scare abroad, in regard
to the money market. Brokers' loans
from September to January were esti-
mated to total about 100000 1000. A
news bureau now estimates them at
Sl,oOO,O 100000 or more. Now it is said
that certain quarters" frown upon
this. The banks, one hears. are lend
ing all their money to the stock mar
ket, where it is profitable, though they
are vastly indebted to the Federal Re
serve Bank. Out-of- flown banks are
sending their funds in to be loaned out
here. The member banks pay the Re
serve Bank only about Az per cent
on their loans. AS long as they can
get and per cent in the call money
market there is no incentive to re-
duce this Indebtedness. The possibil-
lty is suggested that the Money Com
mittee, which when it withdrew it's su-
pervislon from the money market init
mated that it might return in case Of
necessity, may soon consider it nee
essary 1t is the belief in some quar-
ters that if any action is taken it will
not be in Just that way. The raising
of the Federal Reserve Banks redis-
count rate, making it cost the member
banks more to borrow there, is a sup-
gested possibility

Spending 1t Abroad

Contrary to the general belief in the
financial community, a portion of the
foreign credits that are to be arrange
here following the signing of the peace
treaties will be expended outside of
the United States. A leading banker
who is in close touch with the inter
national programme Of reconstruction
finance, said yesterday that undoubt-
edly the money advanced to the Euro
pean countries will be spent in those
markets where the raw materials and
products needed are to be found. 1t
is not improbable, it was stated, that
part of the money will be expended in
South American markets. The ar
ranging of the private foreign credits
will be handled, it is understood, BY
nationwide syndicate similar to that
which underwrote the $500,O00 OO(
Ang loan of 1915.

Reasons.

You could present any number OF
explanations for yesterdays reaction
and any number were presented. Some
were satisfied with the simple tradi-
tion that Tuesday is "reaction day
A large number attributed it to the
pessimstic tone of Mr.. Vanderbilt IS
utterances on the economic conditions
of Europe A few thought it refec-
tion of the fact that the German an
swer is expected to be presented Thurs
day, and also Of the wish of traders to
be out of the market over the three
day holiday. 1t is a fair assumption
that the rise Monday, forcing a large
number of short sellers to repurchase,
had weakened the internal condition CT
the market, so that rotit-taking would
naturally have a greater effect. Nor
should a reaction be surprising on any
session after fifteen weeks of contin-
uous rise. In regard to the German
answer, a good many hold that when it
appears there will be lot of profit
taking If it agrees to the peace, for
that is what the market has been dis
counting; but if the answer is unfa-
vorable the amount of selling will be
even greater because of the disap-
pOlntment.

while fully aware of the gravity of the
problem, they did not believe that ex-
tending aid and credit to Europe would
be too great a task for America, and
that the problem was not as difficult as
Mr.. Vanderlip seemed to think. There
was general opinion that the need of
extending credit to Europe really ere
ated an opportunity for America. Re-

"Self-Liquidating"

1t is the idea of one broker that this
Is "self-liquidating" market. People
can take profits, people have been TAX
ing profits, and the market goes up
just the same. 1t is possible, he thinks,
for the market to go up many months
more without substantial setback.
He finds that while many of his Gus
toners are taking profits all the time
new customers, new classes of buyers,
are flocking to the market every day
to take the stocks away at higher
prices. Meanwhile the customers who
have taken their profits must rcinvest
them to keep their funds employed,
and when the reaction they expected
has not come they enter again. For
contrast he points to the market Of
1917, which went down, down, down
and again down. with hardly any re-
covery on account Of short covering,
because liquidation was coming from
new classes of holders all the time.
On Saturday and Monday good mum

back from the market in the expecta-
tion Of a reaction before entering, only
to see Steel common break into new
high ground, entirely abandoned a

Too much stress should not be laid

Gulf Oil Corporation has brought in
SO far as it's immediate income pro-
ducing possibilities are concerned.
In other words. the practical value
of this new we'll might easily be over
emphasized. The capacity of the two
established wells is so great that the
proposed capacity of pipe lines and
tankers will be fully occupied in
handling the production of these two
wells. The chief significance Of the
new discovery is that it shows the
large reservoir of oil underlying the
territory controlled by the Atlantic
Gulf Corporation. The new we'll is,
therefore, an important step in prov
ing up the oil producing possibilities
