This condition continued throughout

lacking, and stocks moved out in
rather unsatisfactory manner. The

was concerned, closed unsettled, with
a very nervous undertone apparent.
The fact that receipts We're consid-

week or for several weeks past, un-

sponsible for the weakness. These
heavier receipts. coupled with de

BY STUART p. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 9.-Money
considerations have entered more
prominently into the markets of the
while.
With the other II regional banks
charging per cent as their minimum
rediscount, the 312 per cent rate at
New York seemed anomalous. Also
there was an obvious discrepancy be-
tween the low bank rate and the high
er rate prevailing in the open market.
An adjustment has been discussed for
months past. But it has been under
stood that the New York bank was
working in close understanding with
the Bank of England, which since last
August has been putting no obstacles
in the way of free gold movement
and yet in the meanwhile has been
cial position and hold sterling around
parity.
Aim of Reserve Move.
With the turn of the year and the
consequent removal of the customary
year-end strain upon English bank re-
sources, the necessity of keeping the
official discount at New York abno.'-
mally low was removed. The New
the first occasion to put the New York
bank on a level with the others so as
not to divert that part of the return
ing crop money flow belonging to New
York to other banking centers.
This seems to be the main signif-
icance of the action of the Federal
Reserve Bank in the New York dis
trict on Thursday in raising the re-
discount from az to 4 per cent. The
outside money market was prepared
for the news, as was shown by the
fact that on Friday the call money
renewal remained at per cent.
which was the lowest since the early
Autumn, while time money was still
quoted below the per cent at which
it had long been held.
Effect Hard to See Yet.
The effect Of the raising of the bank
rate in the investment market could
scarcely be judged by the slight re-
action which occurred Friday. Bonds
and other investments have been 60
ing up all week, and moderate setback
was in order under any circumstances.
The same could be said Of the specula-
tive market. 1t had been advancing
steadily over the holiday period and
into the first few days of January.
On general principles some sort Of a
downward turn was to have been eX.

Outlook Continues Good
The outlook is for continued ease in
money and for not only a maintenance
| of the present activity in business, but
an increase in certain lines during the
| first quarter. 1t is on these two
grounds that the stock market now
I rests. Last year was a period Of com.
