Cobb facing his eighteenth cam

winning pace from April to Octo-

but the ball player who bats .3Ss
in his seventeenth season Is hardly
to be chucked out bcreft of a

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 20. The new
driving force which the markets a
was found this last week In the
further rather extraordinary decline
in money rates. Wall street loans
for fixed periods, as distinguished
from demand or call loans, can now
be negotiated under 4 per cent for
the first time since the summer of
1917. The money market Is thus
completely back to it's pre-way basis
The last vestige of the imitation In
cident to the enormous government
borrowing, the great advance IN
prices. and the accompanying wild
speculation in commodities ana In
securities has disappeared as far IS
the credit situation is concerned:
So far the main response to those
fresh concessions in money rates
has occurred in the speculative stock
market. Investment securities. after
lying almost stationary for a month,
have moved ahead somewhat, but the
gain has been slight. Ordinarily 1t
might be expected that decline In
cent would bring a corresponding
This has not happened as yet. per-
hapS because the investment com
munity has not digested the huge
load of new capital issues thrust
upon it during the last twelve
months. Failure to respond also may
indicate some doubt as to whether
the lower money range Is to con-
tinue.
Debt Paying Offsets.
Eventually, as trade recovery
keeps on. there will be a diversion OF
funds from financial to commercial
channels sufficient to make itself
felt in money rates. But at present
the increased trade demands are
being Offset by the repayment OF the
old so-called frozen loans In the
agricultural sections. All this Is
clearly shown in the detailed federal
reserve statements. In the more rep
resentative manufacturing sections
rediscounts are on the increase as a
rule In the great wheat and cotton
raising sections, where the rise In
staple prices has put the farmers IN
a comfortable position again. redis-
counts are coming down and reserve
ratios are going up.
The danger in tho stock market
situation is Just what 1t was a month
ago. before the rather sharp check
which came at the close of April and
the beginning of May. 1t is the
danger that speculative operations
will take their cue from the abun-
dance of the credit supply and the low
cost of money, rather than from the
actual fact of the business situation
reached which will not be warranted
by earnings and dividends, and can
not be more than temporarily sus-
stained.
