up of accounts made up the chief de-
velopment in the curb market at the
close of the week The process called
for the liquidation of stock which had
been purchased at lower levels earlier
in the week and the taking down OF
these profits resulted in a declining
price tendency in many directions.
The features, however, again occurred
on the side of advance. Ford Motors,
Ltd, again held the center of specu-
lative interest, opening on block OF
$4,000 shares at q fractional advance
after around this level. The buying
again represented a desire on the part
of those who had subscribed to the
issue to obtain their full allotment In
the open market, as the original allot-
ments had been materially reduced.
The technically strong position of the
market for Bohn Aluminium was 1ndl-
Gated by the manner in which the price
moved upward into new high ground
under a renewed demand. Around 100
the price was almost 8 points above

the exchange was held after the close

established several years, members OF

ACCEPTANCE RATES
ON FORMER BASIS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 22.-Several
dealers in bankers acceptances who
raised their rates by one-eighth OF ]
per cent on Thursday in anticipation Of
strict refusal by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York to buy more bills,
now that the seasonal peak has passed.
rescinded their action yesterday. The
refusal of other large dealers to follow
their action forced them to return to
the old rate Of 4s4 bid, Az per cent
asked.
The interest charge by banks for call
loans on acceptanceS as collateral was
increased l per cent from 6 to z per
cent yesterday. This added further to
the discomfort of the dealers holding
large portfolios of bills, since at this rate
they have to pay much more to carry
the bills than the acceptanceS them
selves return interest.
Call money renewed at per cent
yesterday. This compared with 7
per cent renewal on the previous day.
Money was firm throughout the trading
session, and per cent rate was de-
clared shortly after ! pm. The only
change which occurred in the time loan
market was the lowering of the spread
in the f1ve-month maturitieS. This ma
turity is now quoted at ia per cent
bid as against the previous market OF
7a7a4 per cent. The banks called ap-
proximately $25,000,000 from the mar
