BANK BORROWINGS LARGE.

NEW YORK, August 6 (R).-One of
the reasons for the maintenance of
high call money rates several days after
the first-of-th e-month stringency is
said to be the reluctance of banks to
lend while their indebtedness to the
Federal Reserve Bank is so heavy. Bor-
rowings from the latter institution to
meet the demand for funds, have been
large. Bankers expect, however, that
the call rate will drop by the end of the
week and remain fairly steady. Federal
Reserve purchases of Government Sc
curities and bills, as means of aiding
the credit requirements incident to crop
movements, are also anticipated.
