Credit SITUATION

Movement Is Nervous and Ii.
regular in Days Trading

New York, May > R-EAtreme
was reflected in the highly irregular
movement of prices in today's stock
market. Prices started upward at
the opening. turned sharply reac-
tionary before midday and then
made irregular recovery. Much of
the days selling is believed to have
been inspired by the cautionary ad-
vices of some OF the large commits
sion house, which suggested the pos
sibility OF large increase in brok-
ers' loans and higher rediscount
rate.
The mid -dav selling movement
| was checked by the reduction in call
money from "a to II per cent. the
first change in three days. Wall
Street had beel looking for easier
, money all week with the return to
the banks of the May disburse-
ments. New York bankers have
necessitated to provide the market
with additional funds by taking ad-
vantage of the rediscount privilege
and out-of town banks have sent
little money here, probably because
of increased. local demands because
of the recent sharp drop in the
prices of some of the basic commo-
dities.
Except for the increase in the an
nual dividend on L. S. Realty from
- to IS. and the publication of an
other series of favorable earnings
statements. there was little in the
days business news to influence the
price movement. Professional trad
ers seemed inclined to await the out
come of today's federal reserve meet
ing before extending their commit
ments, and small traders were scared
/ by the continued high money rates
which involve heavy carrying charg-
es on marginal accounts.

there is a thin market were the

Wall Street Briefs

New York May . N-One Of the
theories advanced for the persistent
stringency in the New York call loan
market 10 that funds have been with
drawn by spectators in wheat fu-
lures to bolster up weakened mar
gins during the recent decline In
prices to the lowest levels for this
time Of year since 1924. May wheat
has dropped about Is cents a bushcl
from its high of the year. 1t is also
believed that farmers are unwilling
to sell their holdings at the curreh,
prices and are therefore borrowing
more than normal at the banks 10
finance spring operations.
Bankers see little hope for any
marked improvement in the supply
of call funds in the near future be-
cause of the large sums which will
be required to take care of new fl
nancing planned by several large
corporations. It is estimated that
between now and July about $500
100000 will be required to take care
Of the exercise of rights which have
been granted for stocks and bonds,
being offered by such companies as
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Co.. the Baltimore and ohio,
Chesapeake and Ohio and Southern
railways. and Anaconda Copper.

Corp. Morgan Bonbright Utility
Holding Company, had a recent mar
ket value OF 3e0.952.37o above their
