fresh upturns in the value of corn.

corn traders that the crop situation

necessary on a large scale, especially

big volume of buying orders coming

which came in toward the end OF the
day on offers from some of the large
banks and corporations.
This showed the extent loans had
been shifted during the day and also

After those have been made there

money market conditions Monday aft

money rates will draw from some of
the interior points. and also from the
relief furnished by the extensive liqui-
dation the last two days of stocks
recently bought on margin.
1t is now evident to everybody that
the bull movement was greatly over
done last week and as a consequence
the market got into heavily bought
speculative position. Further irregu-
larity in the general market is looked
for this morning and more progress
in the adjustment of overextended bull
accounts is expected. What Is going
, on now in this connection will simply
put the market in a healthier trading
position and form the basis for a re-
sumption of the bullish activity along
more conservative lines than recently.

speeding up of the peace machine.
While there existed great doubt at
the time the rise began, that doubt
has now been largely swept away and
the country is convinced that a good
measure Of prosperity is ahead.
Prices in the market have partly
discounted such state of affairs The
impetus of the speculation has caused
some stocks to rise to prices beyond

has come into the market in great
numbers and the volume of loans is
working to high level. Even if the
full measure of prosperity has not yet
been discounted. the market technic-
ally should have a period of rest

Morse-This money situation has
kicked up no end of disturbance.
On the ethics of the matter there are
about as many opinions as there are
individuals to express them. A lit
tie of the criticism both of the indi-
vidual banks and of the federal re-
serve may be warranted, but most
of it 1 consider to be unjust and
childish The Federal Reserve Board
is plainly constituted with supreme
power of relation of the money mar
ket for public good. and the condi-
tons that have brought about the
present state have been foreseen for
some time by those who have fol-
lowed our messages and regular let
ters. / contend that the Federal Re-
serve Board has Just as much right
to exercise its provisions and the
purpose which it's member banks dis
count-that is, for trade or for stock
market loans at high rates-as have
any individual bank to inquire into
the employment to be made of the
proceeds of any loan it may make on
the paper of small customer dis
counted in more than the average
amount.
Logan & Bryan-Further liquida-
ton will doubtless be experienced be-
fore the position of the market has
been sufficiently improved to es-
pecially warrant a resumption of the
constructive movement If money rates
continue so high.
News Bureau-The private borrow
ing demand for industrial stocks is
growing, particularly in the motor
and oil stocks There is some inquiry
for equipments. Investigations sug-
gest that the old shortage in steels
and coppers has not yet covered. and
that reactions in these groups will
expand it further. The same may be
said of rails. Reading, especially, is
reported to contain>a large shortage.
Clark Childs-Rumors are current
that some of the bull pools in the in
dustrial list are having difficulty in
rearranging loans called in the last
few days, and it seems to be the i'm
preston that they mil be forced to
let go of long stock to considera BILE

soon. Here is a typical market view
that might be called a composite of
representative and conservative stock
exchange firms: I'VE look for irreg-
ularity and a quieter market in the
immediate future and would await op-
portunities to buy on breaks, taking ad-
vantage OF sharp rallies to sell"

are combination making for profess
sional reactionary activities, accord
ing to reports received from well in
formed channels.

Effetc of Profit-Taking.

Profit taking by speculations pro-
vided notably all of the business that
passed in unbleached goods, prices
for which receded in the early part
of the week, when raw cotton broke
sharply. Later on nearly all of the
loss was recovered. the rise in the
basic products having been the chief
factor.
Unbleached sheetings were sold to
China on a fairly liberal scale, and
it was intimated that II the alleged
agitation on the part Of the Chinese
against Japanese goods were maintain
ed, American mills would be favored
with enlarged Chinese orders for
brown sheetings. Considerable of this
trade has been captured by the
Japanese mills.
