Certain industrial issues, notably the

sively for a time, but the movement
was impressive, as it was quite evident
that it was the result of pool opera

lowing.
Operations of this character were re-
sponsible for pushing Baldwin Locomo-

of the day, but this issue, as most Of
the others. did not hold the ground

Money and Credit

With tho heavy January I interest
and dividend disbursements out of the
way. the market for Stock Exchange
money was easier last week. On two
trading days the rate ruled at 6 per
cent throughout the stock market ses-
siors. The temporary ease was attrb-
uted to the influx of funds from the in
terror, and fair amount Of this money
was reported to have been loaned on
msturities running from sixty to ninety
days, at rates varying from IA to 8
per cent.
New York banks showed little in
money on time In fact, it was ap-
parent chat they are utilizing every op-
portunity to reduce their borrowings at
the Federal Reserve Bank. This was
reflected by the decrease Of more than
$64.000,000 in the total amount Of bills
held by the latter institution at the end
of the week.
Although there has been a tempo
rary ease in the call money situation,
bankers are Of the opinion that the
urgent demands of business for funds
will initiate strongly against any per-
manent increase in the supply of as
sets for stock market speculation. 1t
