BRADsTREET's REVIEW.

NEW YORK. August "a R).-Brad-
streets says: Retail trade, rejecting
the flag end of the vacation season and
the progress Of clearance "sales." has
tended to quiet down further, whereas
wholesale and jobbing trade and In
dustry seem TO show little change from
recent weeks. Owing t the continu-
ance of dry weather in wide areas, but
especially the Northern grain and fruit
belts and the Western half Of the COT
ton belt, crop reports seem to have de-
Perforated further. This, it might be
added, Is in rather marked contrast
with a year ago at this time, when
heavy yields were il prospect and Fall
trade was rallying from the uncertainty
noted earlier In the season. In this
connection it may be remarked that
the comparative absence of the usual
Summer quietness this year. taken in
connection with the improving condi-
lions a year ago, render 1t difficult to
measure the week-to-week ebb and
flow Of current trade advices. General
ly speaking, trade is about on a par
with a year ago at this date, while in
dustry, which shows least effect Of
Summer conditions, is still much more
active than a year ago.

Federal Reserve Bank May Be
Forced to Resume Credit
Restriction Campaign.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. August 24.-The effect
OF mob psychology on the market values
OF securities was demonstrated strik-
lngly when the New York Federal Re-
serve Bank raised its rediscount rate
from 5 to 6 per cent.
rader dumped their stocks over
board in such volume that stock price
indexes and averages recorded the most
precipitous declines since they have
been compiled. Billions of dollars In
market values were swept away in a
few hours.
Yet several leading bankers had
stated that such an increase would
benefit the money market eventually.
n 1t was only last May that ON
mission house letter writer's were ex-
pressing the hope that the rate would
be raised. They argued that it would
tend to restrict speculative credit to a
negligible point and would remove the
uncertainty hanging over the market.
Some stated that an increase in the
rate would pave the way for a major
advance in stock prices.
Call money during the first seven
months OF h year averaged higher
than 8 per cent. Therefore, funds
made available by rediscounting at the
Federal Reserve at 6 per cent could
still be placed in the call loan market

eral Reserve system still may have to
rely on coercing member banks into
restricting their loans on, stock market
collateral.
Bankers say that 6 per cent assures
an average call loan rate of at least
8 per cent as long as it remains in
effect. Many bankers regarded the 5
per cent rate as artificial and deceptive
as to true credit conditions.
