Price Rise Demonstrated in
Face Of Further Stiffen-
ing Money Market

New York. Dec. 2l.-(H)-The stock
market gave an impressive demon
stration of strength today in the face
of further stiffening in call money

up to nearly 6 points. Trading. how
ever, showed a marked contraction in
volume.
Call money renewed at 8 per cent
and advances to 9 when banks called
about S25,000,000 in loans. The high
rate is believed to have attracted SUI
ficient funds to take care of all de-
mands over the weekend. Time
money was firm at 81 per cent for
the shorter dates and 7is for the long
maturities.
There were several favorable divi-
dend announcements during the day,
including the resumption of pay
ments on America Hawaiian Steam

50 extra by the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western Coal Co. signing
OF the Boulder Dam bill by President

ger of the Bank of Manhattan and

ment.
