ChrUcy's new starring vehicle play
ing at the Eltinge tomorrow and
Thursday.

Moasy and Dankins
The money market has moved
along on All even keel during April,
continuing the unusual stability dis
played since the first of the year.
Following the seasonal easing in
January. call loan rates have held al
most steadily at 4 per cent, showing
neither the customary advance in
February and March nor the usual
decline in April. Bill rates have
been almost unvarying 3N-3X per
cent for oO-day acceptances, and time
money and commercial paper rates
have likewise been little changed. The
latter eased slightly in February, re-
covering in March to present levels
of 4 to ~ per cent for prime names.
So far as the immediate future in
money is concerned the outlook seems
70 be for continued stability of rates.
Call loan rates may vary somewhat
from the present average. but COM
mercial rates generally should show
comparatively little change. With
large gold reserves on tap and the
volume of Reserve bank cfedit out
standing down to billion dollars
there seems little reason to anticipate
any change upward. Nor should rates
go materially lower, so long AZ bust
ness holds up to the present mark and

The title role, which may well be
regarded as one of the real histrionic
opportunities of the season, will be as

her immense fan following raised a

to make her exceptionally well fitted
for the portrayal of the heroine in
