Wall street II started the new week with a. con-v con-v tlnuatlon of the brisk upward ; rnovement which started .on ; Saturday as a result of a sense I 0f relief over the turn in the tide of the 5emlngly endless extension of the al-, al-, 1 i huge loan expansion. The traders A i (dterc-d joyously Into the movement, In 6 v which they paw a. promise of relief from 7j ' the prolonged deadlock In the market .nntl tlie paralysis of their usual means ? , of livelihood By the end of the first i ' hour there was an abrupt halt In the I rising movement of prlcps and a sniddcn fi relapse Into the recent soml-stagnatlon. tl During the nrst hour 100,000 shares M (hanged hands.

It was generally accepted that U t the heavy loan contraction was due to lM tome actual liquidation .as well as to Is transfer of obligations to foreigners through the medium of the exchange sill market. 5 I, The time money market was reported filshlly easier In tone, but actual rates m were not quotably changed. The call 9 loan rate relapsed to 1 per cent. While I, the money market enjoyed the benefit J ; ,of the 50.000.000 disbursement to the j credit of the Panama republic made by . the sub-treasury last week, it was I ' collected that tho call of the treasury 1 for Government deposits falling due on I .nay m can ior me surrender or rather more than that amount by the ; banks. The offering of the Cuban loan in this market is also to be taken ac- i count of in the money market outlook.
