Validity of Trust Receipts

In view Of uncertainty attaching to
trust receipts, the following observa-
tion by an official of large Wall
Street bank to his fellow officers, based
on recent decision by Judge knox in
the Federal District Court, is worth
noting: Recording of trust receipts is
inexpedient. Therefore, no loans should
be made secured by trust receipts
where the goods are left in the pos
session of the borrower, unless the pro-
ceeds of the loan are paid by the bank
to take up the goods from the seller,
thereby constituting payment of the
purchase price resulting in a trust.
For instance, there is valid resulting
trust where a customer, desiring to i'm
port goods, obtains credit from the
bank against which he draws for the
purchase price prior to the order Of
the seller. the draft with bill of lading
attached being subsequently, presented
to the bank for payment, and, payment
being made, the bill OF lading is deliv-
cred to the importer against his trust
receipts"

Temporary Loan to Cuba

Lacking official notification from
Washington that the State Depart
ment had approved II temporary ad-
varco Of S5.o00.o00 to Cuba, the bank
crs in charge or this operation had no
announcement to make yesterday.
There seems no reason to doubt that
the loan win now be consummated,
however. The sum involved is expected
to provide for the needs Of the Cuban
government for the next two or three
months or until larger and more perma-
nent financing can be arranged. The
approach of the conclusion Of negotia-
tons is particularly significant in its
bearing upon tho progress Of Cuba to
moro normal conditions. Since the
crisis developed on the island more
than a year ago there has been much
talk Of American financial assistance.
This bank loan viii be the first con
crete result Of thosc discussions.

6 Per Cent Call Money

From 34a to 6 per cent is a substan-
tial jump in the call loan rate these
times, but that is what happened yes
terday. just when the Street had set
tied down to period of continued
cheap money. 1t was the first time
this year that the 6 per cent level had
been touched, and its appearance
served to disconcert those who had
held that such a charge was definitely
IN the past: The rise resulted from a
general calling of loans, partly arising
in connection with a Withdrawal Of
funds from this center by out-of- town
institutions and partly from prepara-
elons 1or the withdrawal by the gov
ernment to-day of $14,O0O,000 of its
deposits with the banks here. One
report was that more than fifteen banks
had called loans during the day. The
superficial character Of the days re-
version of trend was emphasized by
the placement Of small amount of
money for six months on Liberty bonds
at 4 per cent, against previous low
of Al. per cent.

the outlook. Many investment bank
crs agree in their testimony Of the
strength underlying the current rise.
which extends to all classes Of bonds.
Further, they submit that there is no
prospect of a disturbance of the move

Money Rates
Rise to 6P.C.;
Bonds Strong
Supply of Funds Depleted by
Government Withdrawal
and Time Loans; Stock
Market Activity Broadens

Developments In the financial mar.
kets yesterday were somewhat para.
doXical. The fountains and sprinrs Of
strength out Of which buying impulses
came were the evidences Of a substan-
tial easement Of money. And vet on
the very day when there was broad
ening Of activity in both stocks and
| bonds the rate for call loans rose from
S1a to 6 per cent for the first time in
1922.
In the last year the march awav from
tho period OF abnormally high money
rates has been so striking that there IS
new sense Of values. Al the peak of
the period OF postwar imitation 6 nor
cent was deemed = fairly low rate for
speculative credit. A decline to per
cent appealed to the headline writer.
Yesterday financial reporters were in
quest Of an explanation of the sudden
marked rise up to per cent. The
changed attitude is significant.
corrective processes are perpetuallv
st work in tho money market. A de-
cline IN rates results in withdrawal
OF funds, provided other profitable out
ie's are available, and this diminismcnt
OF the supply ordinarily brings I'D tho
rate. And the rise in rates comnletes
the circle by attracting once more
funds previously withdrawn. Tho low
rate was an important factor which
resulted IN the calling of loans by some
interior lenders yesterday. The supplv
or funds was further depleted bv ar
rangements for government with
drawal to-day Of S14,ooo,ooo from this
district.
Moreover, with bond prices, par
tlcularly of short-term investments
rushing toward lower yield bases. there
has been marked tendency on the
part of banks to take advantage Of
present quotations before the market
gets away from them. This type of
outlet for banking funds has further
competed with the call money market.
whose needs were relatively small dur.
ing the dullness OF the last FORTNIGHT.
The broadening Of activity yesterday,
at time when the time was curtailed.
explains the reason for the stiffening
of rates. That the development was
superficial and not prophetic Of future
money rates was indicated by the lend
ing of time funds against Liberty bonds
at AZ per cent. The previous low rate
had been AZ per cent.
The tightening of call funds led to
some selling in tho stock market
toward the close, but though the final
tone wos irregular, the trend for the
whole session was upward. The rails,
under the leadership of Atchison,
which touched par for the first time
since 1919, were at the center of the
speculative stage in the morning, and
in the afternoon the industrias, in
Guiding the oils, took leadership,

changes fuctuated within narrow

Money and Credit

The opening and renewal rate on call
money yesterday was 315 per cent.
Otherwise the session showed little re-
semblance to the markets Of last week.
Four per cent was quickly chalked up
and from that level the rate rose half
a point at time until per cent was
reached just before the close. The
rise was due to calling of loans gen.
orally by banks acting for themselves
and their out-of-town correspondents
withdraw s14o0OoOO to-day. Time
money was quiet. The firmer trend
was not in evidence here, new low
of "A per cent being established for

Abbie was just gluing together the

knocked at the front door. She put
down her work and ran out to see who
it was. She found the mail driver
standing on the porch.

She caught hold of victorine and
