New York. May is,-ln today's
markets. although there was no such
uniformity OF trend IN prices as had
occurred on several other days this
week. there were several incidents OF
particular interest. mostly unrelated
10 one another. The stock market
moved with much uncertainty. but
sterling once more touched the high
mark OF the upward movement. q
rise OF hall penny in silver bullion
brought the London price 10 the
highest since the beginning OF last
December. and the Wall street rate
Tor time loans on stock exchange
collateral dropped to 4 per cent (ihc
lowest rate since the middle OF l9l7),
with a few short loans placed at a
fraction less.
This reminder oi the trend in mon-
ey rates suggested what is largely
the key to the present situation in
many markets: the effect OF very
low money rates and increasing iaci-
li,ies Tor eredi, on the spiri, OF spec
ula,ion. That is the quite invariable
resul, on occasions OF the kind. To-
days weekly statement of the reserve
system showed no pause in the re-
taxation OF aggregate demands on
credit.
