PLAN TO CHANGE SYSTEM
OFFERING CALL MONEY
Instead of Publishing Initial Rate AT
II O'Clock Proposal Is to Fix
1t Previous Day.
Thy AaSoCtA:cd Pres. I


NEW YORK. Feb. IO.-A change In
the present. system of Offering money
on call is being considered by bank
ing institutions which lend much OF
their funds for stock market purposes.
II was learned today. Instead Of pub
fishing an initial ratio for call loans
between IL and 1850 o'clock OF tho
market session 1t Is proposed to fix
a rate on the previous day, after tho
close OF the market.
Some banks arc said to believe that
this plan would correct conditions
which now tend to unsettlc the stock
market during the first hours trad
ing. Other financial institutions, how
ever, are opposed to any change from
the present system on the ground that
overnight events might make mad
visablc rate fixed the day before
In connection with the proposed re-
vision or the present system it appears
that some banks recently have ndopt-
cd plan of extending call loans for
two or three days, subject to slight
fractional advance each day from the
original rate.
