Local bankers are in hearty sympathy
with all action taken in the line Of con-
servatism. although this city has par
ticipated only lightly in the freezing
process Of credit.
Bankers are today feeling the strain
of the tax payments, some 100000,
more or less, being in process Of with
drawal for the payment of real estate,
personal and intangible property taxes,
while the usual assistance to the banks
in the repayment of $4,000,00O by rede-
posit in banks pending the requirements
of the District was refused for the first
time since the annual redeposit was in
augurated.
The result is a stringency in the mar
ket, temporary, not entirely due to the
credit conference and it's subsequent &C
ton.

their credit lines more closely than
they have heretofore this year. max

vanced in the face of selling in the
rest of the list. This stock brok e
over eight points on the announce
ment of the divided rate yesterday,
but at the close it had rallied over
two points from the low and this rally
continued today. All of the sugar
producing companies are big money
makers at the present time and it is
the belief that they will continue to
show big returns for several years.
The West and South.
Most of the stocks which were
dumped on the market in the big
smash yesterday. were said to be for
the account of the west and the south,
these two sections of the country
finally getting into line with the east
in the matter of liquidation of the
loan account.
Wall street was the first to see the
handwriting on the wall and was
liquidated down to the bone, while
the other sections of the country were
still riding on the crest of the wave
and predicting much higher prices.
Federal reserve authorities were
thought to be handling the interior
with soft hand. but when they final
ly did clamp down the screws the re-
suit was what happened yesterday.
