CUBAN BANKS REOPEN
Saturdays FURRY Cut Short BY
Declaring Of Moratorium

Havana, Cuba, Oct. 12.-Proclamatio
of moratorium for ffty days seems to
have cut short the financial furry which
occasioned considerable alarm on Satur-
day. Issuance of the decree was favor
ably received by the public.
All banks, including the International
Bank Of Cuba, which suspended pay
ments on Saturday morning, following a
run Oh that institution, opened for busi-
ness at the usual hour today. A few
banking houses did not tako advantage
of the moratorium and continued busi-
ness as under normal conditions.
The opinion Is held in well-informed
quarters that there will be no necessity
for the moratorium to run for the full
time provided for by the decree issued
by President Menocal.

Bond Men Sound Warning

There have been times In the past
when those actively associated with the
bond trade have become overenthu-
siastic and carried away with the out,
look when new issues have gone well
with the public and older ones have
become increasingly popular with
distinct upward trend in quotations:
Some Of the leading bankers and bond
men are sounding a word of warning at
the moment because Of fears that there
may be a repetition of just such STU
alton a little later on. This has been
brought about by the continued outflow
of new securities. many bankers ap-
parently paying little heed TO amounts
or intrinsic merits of individual Issues
in their effort to crowd the market while
the going is good.
Special attention should be directed
to the unusually large amount OF secur-
tiles which have been put out in the last
week and those which it is known are
to be offered during the coming week.
Obviously, the caution which WAS being
exercised by bankers a few months ago,
in the matter of credit extension, Is
being overlooked and, unless there is
halt to the wild offerings now being
made, some bankers bear that serious
results will follow with the possibility
of stringency in the money market.
It Is not pleasant TO point out these
possibilities, but some Of the most con-
servative investment houses are known
to entertain just such fears as have
been presented above.
A word of caution to investors may
not be amiss: that is to say, those
having funds for investment should ex-
ercise extreme caution and conservatism
In the selection of new securities, IT is
suggested by some that greater atten-
ton should be paid 10 some OF the Older
