BLOW AGAINST BOARDING SEEN
IN RAISING OF DISCOUNT RATES

cause was ascribed by officials to in
creased Withdrawals caused by hoard
ing.
The recent action of the Federal Re-
serve Banks in reversing their easy
money policies through upward revision
of rediScount rates is held here to have
been aimed in part at encouragement
of local boarding Money in circulation
decreased $24, 900 900 during the last
week ended October 20.
Year-end periods, when holiday de-
mands are met and when annual dis
bursements are made, always cause a
seasonal rise in money in circulation
The increase in use of checks as a
medium of payment Is q factor which
tends to reduce the amount of cur
rency in use, emphasizing the present
huge supply. However. the decrease last
week is believed to show definitely that
the boarding movement is arrested and
that money is being redeposited as con-
fidence returns.

The latest report of the Federal Re-

that the abnormally high level of money
In circulation was lowered by $24, 000, 600
during the week ended october 20 to a

Statements issued by the Reserve

last June, continuing weekly with but a

81. This represented the highest figure
IN the last five years except during short
seasonal rises.
Ordinarily increased money In circu-

fldence in the pound sterling.

request of the Bank of England for
extension Of $3.50, 100000 of the $780,
100000 total credit, both participating
equally as they did in the original
credit.
