MONEY
Ry ". 3. cous1Ns

NEW YORK, March Y
(I.N.S.).-A tonic for Wall
Streets frayed nerves was
provided In the statements Of
prominent bankers, who said
they would step into the call
loan market to avert a crash
in stocks, and recoveries OF
/ to 4 points were recorded
in the active stocks in the first
period today.
There was none too much money
in sight, however, and the renewal
rate of is per cent for call loans
told this story more emphatically
than anything else could have
done.
Turnover Is Heavy
Prices moved upward in the first
half-hour, under a turnover Of $780,.
900 shares, with the oils, coppers
and rails leading the advance. The
bargain-hunter was still reckoned
among the missing, and most OF
the buying demand came from pro.
fessionals in Wall Street.
The big bears covered UP q
part of their tracks In the first
hour. but the first bulge in prices
of the favorites was not strong
enough to stand UP under the
pounding Of the huge selling wave
which passed over the market.
A check-up on the money supplies
showed that new funds had piled
into Wall Street over night, and
the bulls were hopeful that the
borrowing rate would not go to
90 per cent today. Money will not
loosen UP to any extent until
after the April interest and dividend
payments have been completed.
Market Is Mixed
Stock prices at the end Of the
first hour showed moderate gains
and losses from Mondays close.
