RESERVE BANK MAY
INCREASE RATE OF
DISCOUNTS TODAY
Five Per Cent on War Paper
Would Not Surprise Bank
ers, Street Hears.

The directors OF the Federal Reserve
Bank. 1t is generally believed in Wan
street, yesterday recommended to the
Federal Reserve Board a further advance
in the discount iate. After their usual
weekly meeting tAIe directors declined TO
say what action had been taken 1t has
been customary for the local board to
defer announcing lis action for full
day on previous occaAions when it recon-
nended an advance i'll the discount rate.
1t would occasion o astonishment in
the Street should the Federal Bank to-
day announce that the discount rate on
war paper had been advanced to per
cent, compared with Az per cent, the
present rate.
Bankers expect the ba nix also 10 ad-
vance the discount rate on commercial
paper, but believe that the central insti-
ruton will defer that action until after
the conference of bankers January 2s in
Chicago, to act on the Interest rate on
bank balances which automatically moves
up with the discount rate in this district
and also in some others.
Bankers here expressed some astonish-
'nent yesterday at the interview credited
yesterday to John j. Mite ehell, chairman
of the Illinois Trust and Merchants Loan
and Trust Company, of Chicago. Mr.. Nit
chell was quoted as saying:-
There is no reason why money should

Chicago banks do not get these unusual
figures for money they loan in Wall
street. The renewal rate yesterday, for
example. was per cent. but when re-
quirements had been fulfilled call money
moved up to is per cent. Such perform
ance can be for no other purpose than
frightening people into selling their
stocks"
Defend Local Banks.
Local bankers took vigorous exception
20 these remarks. An officer OF an insti-
tuition which is daily lender on the Stock
Exchange said in defence Of the practise
of local 'banks:--
New York banks put out the money
of their correspondents at the renewal
rate every day to insure employing il
daily They could, on request of interior
banks, hold out their funds for a higher
rate, but would not do that on their own
initiative because they would run the
risk of not placing the money at all. thus
losing a days interest, or of placing il
at a rate lower than the renewal rate.
Only a few days ago money renewed at
s per cent and in the afternoon dropped
to per cent.
Local banks do not care to loan money
at high rates. High rates necessarily
imply greater risk. E'unds which are put
out al IS per cent. so far as this bank is
concerned. are funds which are coaxed
out of us by anxious Stock Exchange bor-
rowers. We have at times diverted money
