to be rather leisurely In getting into Its
Fall swing.
The effect of the steady hardening Of
money rates was an increasing SuDlect
of discussion as regards It's possible
bearing on actual commercial borrowers
as opposed to purely speculative liner.
The higher range Of call money quota
tions upon stock market dealings did
not apparently cause any marked weak
ness after the carly part of July, when
10 per cent call rates ruled for time
and advances in Federal Reserve Bank
rates resulted In a rather sharp down
turn in stock prices. Bonds also ruled
lower and foreign exchange receded
rather sharply,
One effect worth noting from a sta
tiStical standpoint growing out OF the
uuieting in speculation brought about
by tighter money was the evidence OF a
return to normal or thcreabouts in the
bank clearings and bank debts returns,
which had been distorted, from trade
measuring standpoint, by the activity
in speculation, record sales of securities,
etc.
More Confident Tone shown.
Such measures of July movement as
are complied as early in the month rs
this is written, point to trade and in
dustry moving with a more confident
step. Thus steel production in July
gained 10 per cent and for seven months
gained 58 per cent toward new record
