Another "Warning"

popular explanation for the de-
cline, and a reason which undoubtedly
Gid cause good deal of selling, was
tha warning" of the Federal Reserve
Board. This first appeared in the
form of a Washington dispatch that
the Federal Reserve Board, ALARMED
by the rate at which government bonds
are being converted into other invest
rents," had ordered all Federal Re-
serve banks ITO investigate the
activities of spectators" in their dis
tricts. little later came the an
nHuncement of the board: "While the
practice of speculation could be cor
rected to some extent by an advance
IN the discount rates Of Federal Re-
serve banks, it is not believed prac-
ticable TO apply this check at the
present time because of government
financing." Yet this announcement.
credited with breaking the market, diff
ftred not at all in substance from the
warning by the board just week be-
fcre. AS to the investigation, the term
"other investments" was so vague that
It was difficult to draw conclusions
from it or to determine whether it
meant legitimate Stock Exchange Sc
curlties or fake promotions And even
when the results of the Investigation
are before the board, there is no in
tlmatlon as to what the board could
or would be willing to do.

The Markets
Stock Movement

In the day Of the week, in the
volume Of trading, in the break Of
prices, in the call money market, and
IN the news, yesterday was striking
parallel to Tuesday a week ago. In
the early trading there we're a few
fresh advances, but these did not hold.
The railroad stocks were weak from
the beginning, probably in disap-
po,ntment over the action Of the
House Appropriations Committee in
slicing 100000 from Director Gen
eral Illness recommendation Of 81 ,200,-
100000 for the revolving fund. In
after the opening, and by midday had
become rapid. A further recovery
lasted for an hour or more, but again
declines set in, and this time prices
broke badly. In the last few minutes
of trading there was some recovery,
probably mainly due to short covering
The. action of the market is brought
out by the extreme movements in some
OF the issues. The highest price of
Atlantic Gulf for the day was 1921;
it fell to 1721a and recovered to 1881,
a net decline of 31s points. General
Motors fell from 230 to 22O, and re-
covered to 227A, off II points. Mexi-
can Petroleum fell from 1907 to 1874
ard closed with a net decline of 3as
points at 1878. There were a few
isolated exceptions to the movement,
among them Royal Dutch shares, which
continued firm, and American Sumatra.
which advanced points.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-11
8 Per Cent Money

Another parallel between the two
tuesdays was in the money market.
Monday a week ago call money had
gone to and then to 10 per cent
after the close. This Monday it
reached exactly the same rates after
the close. Yesterdays call money rate
opened and renewed at per cent, but
shortly after o'clock rose to 8 per
cent for mixed collateral and 9 per
cent for all-industrial loans. CLOSING
at those figures. There was some dis
position to blame this on Withdrawals
of government deposits. Some banks
considered these Withdrawals negligi
BILE; it is believed the money so drawn
will all be back in the banks by the
end of, the week. But curious de-
velopment has been the calls made by
out-o town banks for the return of
their funds now being loaned here.
Usually the out-of- town banks rush
money to this centre when the rate
advances, but a number of banks Mon
day and yesterday morning had to call
in loans for their correspondents.

Surplus Last Year

IT is obvious that those who are
