CALL MONEY ADVANCES

New York, June 1s.-In spite of
per cent call money rate stocks
closed very strong and active to-
day after a dull session. Prices
were lower in the morning follow
ing an attack on the list by pro-
fessional traders. When these trad
ers attempted to get stocks back
they found that selling orders were
scarce. In the last hour, just when
money started to advance, a rumor
gained circulation on the floor of
ne exchange to the effect that the
pdvance in freight rates would be
announced early next week. The
figures named in this rumor were
% per cent for the Western roads
Ind 80 per cent for the Eastern
bnes- Oficial verification of this
rumor was lacking. but the Street
believed 1t and bought stocks Gag
erly on account of 1t.
Report also came, from Washing
ton that the Federal Reserve Board
would have some good news for
business men in its next bulletin.

|PAYNE WRESTLING WITH
RED RIVER CONTROVERSY

Secretary of the Interior Payne
Is wrestling with the Red River
oil controversy which involves the
Federal government. the States of
Oklahoma and Texas. and a large
number of private oil operators in
cases aggregating hundreds of
millions.
The Federal government believes
II has riparian rights affecting OIL
resources in the Red River bed. and
the two States involved think they
have Jurisdiction over the oil wells
on the banks of the river II the
Federal contention is right, all of
the oil will go to the navy in all
probability, because 1t Is the gov
ernment practice to reserve all of
the oil of public lands for the navy.
But IL the State contention Is cor
rect. the oil lands will be developed
by private operators.
Pending a decision by the United
|States Supreme Court after a ruI-
ing by departmental officials, a re-
ceiver has been appointed to oper-
ate all the wells in the Red River
territory.

Future of Money Rates Should
Release Commercial Credits

There seems to be no reason to
expect that money rates will rise
materially within the next two
months. The recent increase in
Federal Bank rediscount rates
should suffice for the present, and
so far as II has the desired effect
of reducing credits on accumulated
stocks of goods or on commodities
held for speculation, it should tend
to release commercial credit and is
thus more likely to increase the
supply of call money than to de-
crease 1t. In fact, the degree of
commercial liquidation which has
already taken place, although not
large, is the principal cause of the
easier call rates which have recently
prevailed.
The reserve ratio of the Federal
Ranks is still maintained around
42h per cent. Gold imports have
helped, of course. The disquieting
feature Of the last bank statement
is the further rise in rediscounts
based on commercial paper. which
shows that the member banks are
still strengthening themselves by
their paper along to the re-
serve banks-a process to which
there must naturally be limit. The
small decline in rediscounts based
or government war obligations is
welcome.
Looking at the matter more
broadly, the demand for capital 10
still likely to exceed the supply. The
railroads need almost unlimited
amounts. The acute needs of Eu-
rope are emphasized by the fact
that Belgium, whose position Is rel
atively good, has been obliged to
pay an average interest rate of al
mcst 10 per cent in order to hoat
its bonds in this country. Large
credits are tied up In our foreign
trade, and they are more likely TO
be increased than reduced during
1920. And the requirements Of in
dustrial companies show no mate
rial lessening.
While II is certainly to be hoped
that commodity prices have at last
