1t is being said that current needs are
for intermediate and long term rather
than short-term credit. and that the
capital market. rather than the banks,
is the logical source of such accommo-
dations.
New bond issues have been very
scarce, due partly to the public's specu-
lative mood and partly, no doubt. to
confusion resulting from the securities
act. Short-term credit has undergone
some expansion and would probably
move faster if demand were greater and
If banks were satisfied that risks in

intention, it seems. is to fill the tank
to overflowing, virtually forcing banks
to find more profitable employment for
their resources than is offered by gilt

Initiation Is Doubted.
The undertone of sentiment in Wall
Street remains against the possibilities
OF imitation. There have been reports
that Washington would adopt more ag-
gressive policies in this connection as a
means of bolstering prices against sea-
sonal says; that it would use its powers
to further the N. r. AS purposes. The
stock market, particularly. seems i'm
pressed with the potentialities of the
situation, though SO far there has been
10 departure from orthodox methods of
obtaining the end sought.
