MONEY RATES IN
NEW MARKET
PEAK

NEW YORK, July 11.-1ndustrial
stocks were thrown on the market
during the first hour today as the
result of the raising of the Chicago
Reserve Banks rate to per cent,
which in the Wall Street view fore
shadowSd similar action by the
directors of the New York bank.
General Motors started the day at
1913. down 81 points from Tues
days close, but a powerful buying
movement credited to the country's
strongest financial interests, soon
whipped that stock along to above
1877, where practically all of the loss
had been recovered. Sharp rallies
we're also in order in o+her market
leaders.
Raising Of the chicago rate brings
the rediscount charge to the highest
level since 1922 and !. is apparently
justified by the rapid decline in the
ratio of reserves to total resources
OF the reserve banks. Too much
bank credit has been employed in
stock speculation, of that there can
be no doubt. but it Is not so clear
how the reserve board heads can
bring about their deflation program.

Federal Reserve Board officials
declined comment. but II was an
ticipated that unless a marked
change occurs in the financial mar

would be on the new rate level

Since the boost in rates increases
the cost OF reserve bank credit to
the member banks. the latter un.
doubtedly will pass along the pres.
sure of higher-cost money to the
borrowing public. evidenced in the
rise In open-market money rates
and closer scrutiny Of loans.
The rate Increase. In the heart
OF the agricultural district, comes
