spite Actual Ease of Call
Loans; EARLY Losses Part
ly Recovered at Close

The warning issued by Governo,
Harding, Of the Federal Reserve Board
In addressing the banking conference
at Washington yesterday, that "a fur
ther increase in discount rates
Is contingency which must be reck-
oned WITH" and. further, that "unes-
sential loans should be discouraged u
received highly unfavorable interpre-
sstion In Wall Street. 1t was taken as
an indication that, instead of money
ease, the stock market might soon have
to contend with scarcity of funds
and very hieG rates. This view was
not supported by the action of the
money market, for call loans opened
and renewed at 8 per cent, and during
large part of the session the rate was
per cent. But the uncertainty en-
gendered by Mr.. Harding's statement
served to check the demand for stocks,
and as result spectators working on
the short side of the market found it
Their task was made less difficult by
the fact that many traders who had
been exceedingly bullish decided that a
reaction was due, and therefore Joined
in the selling movement.
The market was under almost con-
tlnuous pressure until late in the af-
ternoon, when the bottom was reached
and rebound occurred. Declines Of
from to more than points were
common at the lowest level, and, al
though the closing rally was sharp, the
result Of the days dealings was a gem
eral and rather substantial decline. The
age gain last Friday.
noticeable featuro nf Tho dorI;ro
was that. while the bears found 1t COM
paratively simple to depress prices
to q certain point, beyond that
point their utmost efforts were futile,
the market offering stubborn resist
ance once the first wave Of selling sub
sided. Doubtless some of the support
came from those who had sold short
and were satisfied with the profits of
fered, but for the most part purchases
count. At the close Of business brokers
said that the technical position had
been considerably improved. The Street
seemed more cheerful at the end of the
session than 1t had been in the morn
ing.
Whether or not the Street was right
in its Sinterpretation of Governor
Harding's remarks remains to be seen.
1t seems certain that the banking au-
tnorltles are gong to do as much as
possible to discourage the speculation
which is forcing commodity prices up
to new high levels, but it is doubtful
if any drastic action against the stock
market is contemplated. The market
already has been pretty thoroughly
liquidated, and. short of the develop
ment Of another wild speculation such
as eliminated with the November
crash, the need for further restrictions
on Stock Exchange loans is doubtful, to
say the least. Probably the banking
authorities will proceed cautiously with
any plan for curtailing speculation
even in commodities. for, instead of
speeding production. undue pressure
might have precisely the opposite effect.
The pressure which was cxerted on
speculative loans toward the end Of
the year hurt the commercial borrower
quite as much as it did the speculator.
Bonds, generally speaking, were
steady on comparatively small turn
over.

Money and Credit

For the first time this year brokers
were able to get time money yesterday
in sizeable amounts. This, was re-
garded as q favorable factor in the
Wall Street money market, as it has
been the policy Of the banks for sew
loans. 1t is believed that interior
banks are taking advantage of the
present high rates for money loaned
on Stock Exchange collateral in the
belief that call rates will work lower
in the near future. The call money
market was easier yesterday. The
opening and renewal rate was per
cent, but later in the day borrowings
were at per cent, which rate pre-
vailed until the close. Loans running
made at ~ and per cent.
The ruling rates for money yester-
day, compared with a year ago. were
