Big Interest Payment To-day

United States government with
drawals from the banks have been
fairly heavy during the last few days.
Interior banks also are withdrawing
funds from this center These are two
important factors in the local money
situation. To-day the government will
pay the interest due ON the Fourth
Liberty loan ~ per cent bonds. There
were $6,573S8O,150 of this issue sold
throughout the country. The semi
annual interest now falling due
amounts to about s139,000,oO0, of which
it is estimated that $43, 900 900 will be
paid to holders in this Federal Reserve
district. This money will naturally
find its way back into the banks in a
few days, so it is expected that money
rates will work lower.

A Conservative View

This view of the market is taken by
prominent Stock Exchange firm: "The
impression given is that the public is
an eager purchaser of stocks. Frankly,
we see very little change in general
conditions. There is. perhaps, a feel
ing that the period of high prices, Of
lnnatlon, is to continue rather longer
than at one time supposed. Specula-
lively there will come periods when it
seems inadvisable to make further
commitments, and particularly SO on
borrowed money. Frankly, we believe
we are entering on such period. One
must face the fact that industrial
STOCKS are now up anywhere from 20
to 100 points from their low figures of
Two months ago and can no longer be
considered particularly cheap. This
active market, with strong tone, NAV
very we'll continue for several weeks
longer, but it seems to US that to buy
dv d',,' tn1s level Is running rather an un-
duly large risk for the possible profit
involved"

Liberty Bonds Decline Again

Liberty bonds, which fell sharply on
Monday on the announcement of the
new Treasury borrowing policy, slumped
further yesterday. The Victory AZ $
for the first time sold at close to a 6
per cent basis, at 9648, and the Vic
tory - IS touched 96.44, selling to yield
about per cent. The I'd a. and 2d
4As sold as low as 87.4O. and the 4th
a down to 87.42. More than $40 ,OOO.-
600 of Liberty bonds were dealt in on
the exchange, and the downward move
ment was regarded as a continuation Of
the adjustment of Liberty bonds to the
new interest rates prevailing.

Call Money

The Wall Street stock market follow
ing would like to know why call money
rates have lately had habit of shoot
ing up to high levels in the afternoon.
This happened on Tuesday, and again
yesterday. after renewals had been
made at per cent. At the close yes
,terday a II per cent rate was estab-
lished at the exchange. Bankers insist
that the market is supersensitive be-
cause Of the limited supply of call
funds. They point out that the posi-
ton Of the coli market is such that
comparatively small Withdrawals by
lending institutions tend to produce
wide swings in rates. An officer in one
OF the largest Wall Street banks esti-
mates that the total outstanding call
loans, including those made by corpora
tlons and private individuals, as we'll as
the banks which make it custom to
loan out large amounts on demand
do not exceed $780, 1000. His in
stltutlon is keeping its call loans down
to the barest minimum, and he saws
that the other banks are pursuing the
same policy, in Difference to the wishes
of the Federal Reserve authorities.
