Money and Speculation

The future of the money market has
not yet been settled in way to per-
nit renewal of extensive speculative
activity. according to c. A. Morse, of
Clark Childs & Co., who has Just re-
turned from trip during which he
interviewed bankers in many sections
Of the country. The Federal Reserve
restrictive policy" says Mr.. Morse, sis
unlikely to be modified in any impor-
tant degree. What is expected by
some of the countrv's most conserva-
tive bankers is a moderate and grad
ual recession in the open market rate
for commercial money from the ap-
proximate s per cent basis lately es-
tablished for discount Of the best
