Money Accumulating in Interior

Bankers who have been studying the
situation closely were not surprised
at the appearance of larger amounts of
time money. They had been expecting
1T. The liquidation of commodities and
the general let-down in business has
caused an easing up in the interior.
Bankers who have been in town from
Chicago, Cleveland and other Western
points, as we'll as from New England.
have been telling their correspondents
here for several days that conditions
were improving and money was begin
nlng to accumulate in their banks.
Much Of the time money placed here
yesterday was for the account of in
terror institutions. New YorR banks
observed commercial banker yester-
day. would like to lend money for six
to nine months at 8 per cent if they
had the available funds and if they
could find the borrowers. Three
months or more from now bank
which had made large time loans at 8
per cent would likely have reason for
congratulatng itself. But local insti-
tutions are not liquid enough yet to
permit of heavy offerings Besides,
borrowers are getting wise to the trend
Of interest rates"
New-York tribune., 1920-11-19
Brokers Back OFF"

Practically all of the time money
loaned yesterday was for per cent
and for a period of three months
Curiously enough the banks did not
ilnd Stock Exchange borrowers particu-
larly keen to accept time loans on the
terms offered. Still, this was not hard
to explain when it is considered that
most brokers, as we'll as bankers, look
Tor lower money rates before q great
many weeks. An 8 per cent time loan
might looz good for the moment, but
three or four months from now money
might be SO much easier that the
broker VINO borrowed the money on
this basis would not find his commit
ment so attractive. This was the way
the brokers looked at it, and it ex-
plained their tendency to back away
from the tenders made.

How Rumors Grow

Wall Street is a place full of rumors
IN times like these. Some particularly
VICIOUS, in fact most disturbing, stories
have been going the rounds for sew
eral days; and they havespersisted de-
spite denial. One such report has had
large and we'll known concern on the
verge of financial collapse The ori-
gin of this report, which is branded
as absolutely without foundation, has
been traced to South American coun-
try. A newspaper there published a
story of how the firm in question had
lost upward Of $4,000 900 through the
fall in exchange. On being informed
of the falsity of the report the paper
retracted and made a most profuse
apology. But that did not stop the
broadcast to all parts of the world.

Wide SDreads

The extent to which the market has
been demoralized by the continued
liquidation was indicated yesterday in
measure in the wide spreads between
the IBID" and asked" prices quoted on
many stocks at the close A difference
Of several points between the price
bid for certain issues and the price
asked by the holder was common in
the list. The most striking spread,
however, was that in Fisher Body.
Sales were made Of this stock at 92 Il
as the gong sounded the closing of
trading. The IBID" and asked" price
for the stock came out on the tape
afterward at 45A 80

Active Acceptance Market

Active buying of bankers acceptances
by local banks was an interesting fea-
ture of the money market yesterday.
boston also was heavy buyer here.
The drop in call loan rates to per cent
caused many institutions to Shift to
acceptances, which were quoted at GA
per cent. Wire trouble caused a fur
ther delay in getting through orders
tor acceptances from iWerior banks.
An indication of the trend in the money
market was the purchase this week nv
bank in the interior of a large block
of prime commercial paper on a 7a4
per cent basis. The open market rate
on the general run Of paper is 8 to s u
Per cent.

Time Money Offered

Offerings of fairly large amounts of
call money in the local market at 6
per cent were interesting develop
ments, but by no means the most
striking. What bankers viewed as most
significant of the trend of the times
was the change in the policy of lending
institutions with regard to collateral
time loans. Three large Wall Street
bankers were lenders yesterday of
money on time for stock market pur-
poses. The amount did not exceed
$5,00O,000 in the aggregate. But at
that it was the largest, mount placed
out on time inA months, and this was
considered Of special significance.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-19
Marine Preferred

international Mercantile Marine pre-
ferred stock figured prominently in the
rumors afoat yesterday. The weakness
of this former speculative high-fyer
apparently was in sympathy with the
fall in American International Corpo-
ration. Some of the selling was based
on reports that the American Interna-
tional dividend had been passed IN ex-
pectations that the disbursement on
Marine preferred, of which A. l. c. owns
q large block, would be changed at the
next meeting of directors. Hopes of
payment Of the remaining AZ per cent
in back dividends on Marine preferred
have been greatly dimmed by recent
developments. At its low price of ii
yesterday Marine preferred was selling
only points above the value of the
accumulation of unpaid dividends. On
the crest of the wartime speculation
the stock sold at 1281z.

Maxwell-Chalmers Reorganization

The committee representing tne
Maxwell Chalmers motor companies
stated yesterday that the plan for re-
organizing and merging the two will
in all probability be declared opera
tive. More than 83 per cent of the
outstanding shares and more than 95
Per cent OF the unsecured notes and
accounts OF merchandise creditors have
teen deposited under the plan, which,
by averting forced liquidation and pro-
yiding q substantial amount of new
money, Will make it possible, in the
opinion of the committee, to place the
sound financial strength. The COM
mittee gave notice of an extension of
the time curing whicn further deposits
will be received under the plan until
the close of business on November 27.

yesterday, lost portion of the ground

Money and Credit

Further ease developed in the stock
market money market yesterday with
further offerings of times funds. 1t
was said in some quarters that loans
available for this purpose are now in
the neighborhood of S50,000,O00. The
call money rate renewal at per cent,
the lowest since October %. The clos
ing rate was 6 per cent.

LIN Wall Street
The Short Interest

Opinions differ greatly as to the
amount of the short interest in the
market at the present time. Some OBJ
servers think that it is not nearly so
large as might be expected, in view of
the heavy selling which has taken place
the last few weeks. In these quarters
it is argued that the shart interest is
hard to determine because of the con-
stant shifting of their position by pro-
fessional traders. J. S. Bache & Co =,
however, believe that the short interest
in the market to-day can be conserva-
lively placed at between 100000 and
100000 shares, which is declared to
be as large as at any time in the last
four or five years.

Extension of the
 Merchant Marine
 Has Been Opposed

Washington, Jan. 27.-Extension of the American merchant marine and adequate governmental support to American business interests de- velopinC American foreign trade were urged today by II. II. Haines of Galveston, Tex, and Matt Hale of Wilmington, x. C., members of q delegation representing commercial and industrial organization in mid west gulf and south Atlantic states which appeared before the senate commerce committee. Forced sale of government ships was opposed by MT. Hale as liable to result in bulk of the ships falling into the hands of few concerns.
 MT. Haines urged congress to give interests chance and not sandbag them by forcing the sale of govern ment owned ships without giving them fair opportunity to acquire the vessels.
 John W. Thomas of Colorado, speaking for organizations in 24 states, pleaded for an American- own ed and operated merchant marine.
 Questioned by Chairman Jones of the committee, MT. Thomas said that trade routes especially were being opened to Central and South America with indications of great future de- vclopments. With continuation of these lines there would be trouble, he said, in financing any business proposition in these countries.
 "The United States is on the verge of commercial war;" Mir. Thomas declared, "and we feel that congress should stand by and see that there is no interruption to routes already open and no sale of the emergency fleet corporation ships which would close them and concentrate the busi- ness in the bigger ports"
 Answering Chairman Jones, the spokesman said it was his idea that congress should define some defin- ite policy and direct some agency to put inte effect.

Two Have Lost
 Their Lives in
 Moonshine Drive

Charleston, ". Va, Jan. 27.-The manufacture and sale of moonshine whiskev in the mountains of south ern West Virginia is claiming the close attention of W. s. Hallanan, prohibition commissioner, who, with large force of deputies, continues to raid and arrest almost weekly.
 There have been times in the last few weeks when the officers have met determined resistance, and al- rady two men. Preston Mullens, an alleged moonshiner, and John D. Kennedy, deputy sheriff, have lost their lives in the campaign.
 This fight, the most serious in recent years, occurred in the Pan ther Greek section of McDowell coun- ty, on the Virginia border. Panther Greek, the prohibition authorities say, is one of the most active moon- shining districts in the state. There, according to MT. Hallanan, have been gathered some Of the most famous manufacturers of moonshine from Buchanan county, Virginia. They know all that is to be known about the industry, and some of them are famed for the qualities of their "corn liquor" Ususlly their stills are ex- tremely difficult to locate, but grad ually the prohibition officers are hunting them out and destroying them.
 There is another kind of moonshin- er in that section who is giving the officers much trouble. He makes his moonshine as quickly as possi- ble, markets it with the least delay, and then moves his still to some other place.
 The country is mountainous and rough with many fertile valleys. These valleys, the commissioner has discovered, were this year, used to a large extent for the growing of sugar cane, the high price of sugar having driven some of the old time moon- sinners to producing what they need ed for domestic and moonshine pur- poses.
