A further increase in local brok'
erage loans during the week ended
Aug. 10, made the total SAT- ,997,0O(
higher than a year ago. However
no nervousness was created by thi
factor in view Of the falling of IL
the Federal reserve rediscounts tt
the level of $135 100000 below 1926.
This proved member banks were
not only handling the increase il
collateral borrowings without re-
course to the Federal reserve, bu
were taking care of larger per
centage of commercial loans. Thi
leaves vast supply of Federal re-
serve credit untouched.
Interest in early dealings on the
Stock Exchange converged largely
on General Motors owing to the an
nouncement of . for split-ul
after Thursdays close. Many traders
sold on the good news and thu
stock was off at the opening.
