by bulls on leather stocks that offerings
OF leather stocks, particularly Hide and
Leather, were all for short account and
that little or no long stock was dislodsed
One of the arguments Of the bears yester-
day was that raising of the allied blockade
against Russia would result in increased

that the leather companies are loaded up
with leather bought at higher prices 1t
will be necessary, said the bears, for these

Moreover, some fears were expressed

MONEY MARKET EASY.


The degree of ease in the money market
Yesterday was indicated by the reports
that more than fifteen million dollars re-
manned unloaned on the floor of the Stock
Exchange At the end Of the day one res-
son for the easy money market the last
lew days Is understood TO be the tact that
certain brokerage houses have turned
lenders instead of borrowers OF funds. In
the present dull market they find that they
have more funds on their hands than they
can use in their own offices. These funds
are being loaned in the open market.
While money is easily obtained for call
loans, IL is as scarce as ever as far as time
borrowers are concerned. Bankers say
that few interior centres are sending
money! here to lend on time. One of these
In Pittsburg and another is Chicago.
Moreover, while Stock Exchange interests
have received unofficial assurances from
high quarters that the Federal Reserve
Board is through with Wall street. be-
lievius that its credit position now is en-
tirely satisfactory, il is well understood
that any expansion OF stock operations.
with resulting increases In loans, would in
vito the displeasure of the Federal Re-
serve authorities.
BUy TRACTION ISSUES
News that tho inquiry into the traction
situation by the Board of Estimate had
actually started here yesterday was thel
cue for a buying movement in local trac-
ton issues. Brooklyn Rapid Transit. In
terborough Issues and other tractionsl
were very steady. holding gains In the
face OF q weakness IN other parts of thel
list. It Is argued on behalf of tractionI
and other public utility companies that
the campaign of the Federal ReserveE
Board to lower commodity prices will
reast favorably TO all utility concernsI
because it will reduce the cost OF mate
rials required in operation. The testi-I
mony in the case of the Interhorough was
not exactly favorable TO the campaign for
higher fares yesterday, but it did not
appear until after the stock market had
closed.
STEEL MERGER REPORT.
Recent buying of Penn Seaboard Steel
stock is understood to be due to the PLAN
Of the company to merge it with the
Tacony Steel Company. 1t was said the

pany in EXCHANGE for Tacony Steel stock.
The Penn Seaboard also will issue $500
600 in three-year notes. These notes will
be sold to create new working capital for
the consolidated business of the two COM
panies. 1t is understood that the basis

sylvania concern and its affairs were
thoroughly investigated by Philadelphia
