The Hebron sextette mainly

Stiffenins of money rates within the

include the growing commercial de-
mand for funds, the huge volume of
new financing. increasing stock market
activity and heavy gold exports, which
combined are expected to cause a suffi-
cient drain on surplus funds to boose
the asking prices for bank accommo-

the federal reserve bank and the APP
parent disposition Of banks at present
