SLASH IN RATES
AIDS INDUSTRY
BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, March Is QN.SJ.
The most important financial
event of the week was the re-
duction of the New York Reserve
Bank rediscount rate to 3h per
cent, an act which was very
clearly foreshadowed by the
events which preceded it.
An enormous increase in the
volume of surplus and loanable
funds in New York and other
financial centerS was reflected in
the successive marking down of
the rates on call loans. bankers
acceptanceS and commercial
paper. The acceptance rate has
been brought down by gradual
stages from above 4 per cent to
3h per cent; the call loan rate
to 8 per cent for the first time
In four years, and commercial
paper to AZ per cent against
S per cent a year ago. The for
eign bank rates have been low
cred as a measure Of cooperation
to local business interests and
there has been intimation Of a
return flow Of gold from Europe
to America.
There can be no doubt Of the
beneficial effects of q low bank
rate on American industry and
business. Credit is the life blood
of business, and low interest rates
take the burden off the back Of
the heaviest corporate borrowers.
The benefits of cheap money will
be gradual rather than Spectacu-
lar, however, in the security mar
kets as we'll as in business.
Under the leadership OF the
oils, utilities and few Of the
better grade Of induStrialS and
specialties, the stock market con-
tinued its creeping" advance this
week, The bears who fought the
rally in industrial stocks found
an excellent cushion Of buying de-
mand for United States Steel,
Bethlehem, General Electric,
WESTINGHOUSE, Montgomery Ward,
ETC., at small concessions in pre-
vailing prices and in many cases
this demand was sufficient to
turn the tide of prices upward.
The vast improvement in the
oil situation was reflected In the
best advance in high grade oils
in nearly a year, rewarding the
patient holders Of these stocks
who have persistently refused to
sen at the low levels. Il now ap-

The Steel Corporations Febru-
airy tonnage report showed an in
crease of 1900 tons in advance
orders. Though steel mills opera
tionS have slowed up In some
sections Of the country, producers
Of railroad and automobile steel
have been kept running at close
to 80 per cent Of their capacity.
An increase Of $227.000, 900 in

weeks was eviden' aplenty OF the

Growing confidence in the imme-
diate future of industry and bust
ness in this country has encour-
aged investors and small traders
to enter the market in an effort
to acquire their favorite stocks
at attractive prices.
The commodity markets were
generally irregular, but strong
support Of the wheat market by
the Federal Farm Board pre-
vented any further loss Of ground.
The cotton market was under
