Reserve Position.

Positive information to the effect that
the Federal Reserve Bank would not
increase its rediscount rate schedule in
the immediate future nor adopt the
Siding scale in such rates established
by the Kansas City Reserve Bank was
obtained yesterday. The situation here
does not warrant such action, II was
said yesterday, the reduction in loans
by banks in this district at a recent
date having been $3.50, 100000, against
an increase in the other reserve districts
Of about $700,OO0,O0O. In fact New
York has gone further than any other
reserve district in holding down ON COM
mercial and speculative loans. 1t was
pointed out that the act which author
ICES reserve bank to establish normal
lines Of credit for every institution in its
district, with an automatic and pro-
greSsive increase in the rediscOunt rate
as the penalty for exceeding the normal
line is permissive and not mandatory.
Unless need arose such procedure
would not be followed in the local dis
trict, it was said, and it was also point
ed out that the officers and directors OF
the local reserve bank were getting bet
ter results By the policy now followed
Of talking things oFer with the bank,
which appears to be overborrowing. en-
abllng them to keep in reserve the op-
portunities afforded by the act

Redisconnt Rntc.

The New York Federal Reserve Bank
directors are scheduled to meet to-day.
The report that that bank would raise its
rediscount rate has been current 1t Is
pointed out in some quarters that two
indications point to a higher rediscount
rate one is the raising Of the Bank of
Englands rate to I per cent last week.
Another is the fact that the Secretary
Of the Treasury has recently raised the
rate of interest on certificates of in
debtedness. in the case of one issue. to
5h per cent. which, it is argued, might
induce the board to raise the discount
rate on that class Of paper above the
present per cent. The precedent of a
progressive increase for the discount rate
has been set by the Kansas City Reserve
Bank. The average reserve deposits and
average paid in capital for March will
be employed in computing the basic lire
OF credit of every member bank under
the new plan. That line will be changed
monthly on the average of the calendar
month Immediately preceding, as actual
reserve deposits will be used in COM
putation. The banks which have had
deficient reserves with the Federal Re-
serve Bank will find themselves penal
lied by reduced line of credit or by an
increase in the rate for the excess.

BewIIdered Wall street.

Wall Street is more or less bewlI-
dered over the happenings of Monday
and yesterday. Just why the bottom
should suddenly fall out Of the marlte.
nobody appears to know. Excuses and
reasons are to he heard on every hand.
Surface developments yesterday were
entirely favorable. Money came down
from per cent. to C per cent. The un-
qualified statement was made that the
Federal Reserve rediscount rate wou!l
not be raised. Despite all that there is
a nervous sentiment abroad and 1t will
not down. One hears on every hand
talk of tremendous frozen credits, of
the high rate England is paying fnr
money, of the financial crisis in japan,
but it cannot be forgotten that all Of
that news was public property last
week, when the market was booming
along steadily.

Lackawanna Steel Is rapidly getting
itself into the mystery class, Just why,
when the market was at It's weakest
stage, it should take sudden jump OF
points and close the session above so,
an advance Of 80 points, is a problem

ter the close. The turnover was un-

more than 10000 shares. The rumor per-

Two pieces OF legislation aimed at Wall

are before legislative bodies, one in
Albany and one in this city. That any
definite action will come of either of
them of course, is considered very doubt
ful. but they may be taken as pretty
good intimations of the way that the

be traced indirectly to the unpleasant
