'H|GH MONEY FA|LS
|. TO STOP ADVANCES
Wall Street Returns to For
mer Policy Of Bidding Up
Favorites.
nisnatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, June 26.--Wali Street
has apparently returned to its former
policy of bidding up stocks in the face
of higher money rates. This 1t has done
successfully in the past and although
call rates yesterday started at 10 per
cent, after holding between and 8
per cent since May 16, there was long
string of new high record" for indus
trials, public utilities and rails to add
to the SO or more, than were register
ed last week.
The immediate money market is In
the hands of the New York banks. They
can keep the rate at the present level
or let 1t go to IL or is per cent, ac-
cording as they feel disposed. There
is not the strain ON them of heavy
borrowings for speculative account as
in March, when the day rate touched
20 per cent, or in April and May when
1t was quoted at Is and is per cent.
On the other hands the normal re-
quirementS, or rather those considered
as legitimate in contrast with wall
Streets excessive borrowings, will be
greater In the next two weeks than
since the early part Of January. Conse-
uuently, 1t is the feeling of the Federal
Reserve authorities that there will be
a higher average Of call money untn
about the tenth Of July.
During this period 1t is probable that
the Federal Reserve will resume buying
acceptances and Government securities.
Its portfolios Of both kinds of paper
are at low ebb. Acceptances last week
were down to $87 ,032 900, compared
with $223, 1882 900 a year ago, and lower
than they had been in five years. Hold
ings of Government securities were
sI39, ,458,00 or about 40 per cent less
than on June 20, 1923. Both of these
items are expected to be built up SUD
stantially during the Summer months.
THE arrival here at the end OF the
week of Gov. Montague Norman, oi
the Bank of England. win be followed
by conferences between him and the
Federal Reserve authorities on the mat
ter Of the present heavy gold exports 70
the United States, which are worrying

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 26.--Nearly all
OF the active convertible bond issues
sold today at the highest prices of the
movement which has now been running
strong for several weeks. Stock ex-
change houses have been putting their
customers into the two telephone bonds
and into Atchison, Missouri Pacific and
Southern Pacific convertibles, and bond
houses have found an outlet for their
more conservative customers in this
Gemi-speculative group
Interest today shifted to the Inter
national Telephone i2s from the Amer
lean Telephone 4 I2s. The former were
dealt in in large units. When they
touched 140, after closing yesterday at
1884, there was some hesitation and
profit-taking, but heavy buying orders
appeared and this afternoon they
showed net gain of over points.
Features Of Trading
American Telephone 4l2s moved more
slowly to midday and then jumped
ahead. Atchison 4J5s were up 3la
points aMd Missouri Pacific 512s showed
q moderate gain. The Southern Pacific
4las ara not so attractive from a con-
vertible. basis as the other rails and
there Is a tendency to compare their
price with those of the junior railroad
Az per cent mortgages, as Rock Island
4 Ias and Frisco 4las.
Public Service Of New Jersey 4Ias
rose 10 points.
The 10 per cent renewal rate for
money affected few of the high-grade
corporation bonds and had a tendency
to weaken the market for Treasury
certificates. Two municipal bond is
sues offered today were priced at a
5iz per cent basis for the one-year
maturity.
The Cuban sugar producing bond
group was little steadier. Holders OF
Cespedes Sugar TI2s who were lucky
enough to have their bonds called will
receive los for them, though they are
selling In the open market at 90L2. Al
new low price was reached on Phila-
delphia and Reading 6s and on Ma
tional Radiator 61as, the latter selling
about 35 points below its high of the
year and so per cent under the issue
price.
Dollar Bonds.
Not much change occurred in the
foreign dollar bonds There were slight
concessions In the South American
group. with scattered gains in Euro
peans. The first effects of the repara-
tions settlements appear to have worn
on, especially in German issues. They
are all more or less affected by the
current high rates for call money.
