Under the present system, Com.

Since Congress has directed that

Explain Cut in Rates.

Explanation of the recent slashes
In Federal Reserve rediscount rates,
which have reached the low level
of 3k per cent in New York end
Boston, was made today by the
Federal Reserve Board in it's June
issue of the Federal Reserve bulle-
in. Easy money conditions in the
country and the prospects If con-
siderable volume of foreign borrow
ing following upon settlement Of
the German reparations question
were emphasized by the board.
The Board reported that at its
conferences with the governors of
the various Reserve banks and its
advisory council in May the bust
ness and credit situation in differ
= ent sections of the country were
surveyed and general problems Of
discount and open market policy
were discussed. The problems
were discussed with the council, the
Board stated more particularly with
reference to the bearing of the
Dawes report on the banking and
investment situation in the United
States and the manner in which

pt, ticipate in the financial program
proposed by the experts.
Decline in Money Rates.
I'm the credit situation" the
Board said, 1.-The most notable de-
velopment has been the continued
decline in money rates in. the New
York market. That the prevailing
ease in the money market is not
to be attributed solely or primarily
to decreased demand for credit is
indicated by the fact that money
rates have declined over period
during which there has been little
decrease in the volume of CONNER
cial borrowing at member banks
in the larger cities.
THE recent reduction in CONNER
cial loans is due to the smaller
credit requirements Of current bust
ness but the increased case of
money rates reflects not only this
slackeneing in the commercial de.
mand but also the continued In
crease in the supply of loanablc
funds caused in considerable part
by the larger inflow of gold
