GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

n great deal that was misleading has
been said and written concerning the
possible easier money conditions that
were likely to result from the cuts in
rediScount rates by the several Federal
Reserve Banks. At least. from the tes-
timony given yesterday by number Of
prominent bank officials easier money
conditions still remain matter more of
talk than of reality. Money is still
tight in literal sense and is likely to
continue so until the credit readjust-
mcnts are entirely completed and the
dctation of business has made con-
siderably more progress.
Confirming this, there could be cited
the negotiation of a loan of q half
million dollars yesterday by a promi-
nent local interest. This loan contained
40 per cent margin collateral of Penn.
sylvania Railroad and Reading, with
the largest proportion Of the latter, and
which was made at IA per cent for one
year. 1t is measurably certain this
same interest, who is in close touch
with the actual situation, would not
have made the loan of twelve months, If
he was convinced cheaper rate would
be obtained later on.
The case in question is only offered to
Offset many misleading statements
which are daily being made by ire
sponsiblc people. The financial situa-
ton, of course, It is granted, is much
better than II was this time year ago
Much has been accomplished toward
correcting the existing evils, but all
this talk of easy money is simply
