Show WALL STREET STOCKS :! VARY DURING WEEK :: - ' .!,.' . ' . . ., I NEW YORK. April 7. Stocks started y the week in Wall street in brisk de- : mand and at higher, prices, but th. I growing" stringency of tne money mar- '' '. ket paralyzed the demand and led to a ' J reaction. N ' ; The money stringency increased f from ! ','' day to day instead of relaxing, and thus disappointed speculative calcV- ' tions. . Large demands for currency fron la- ; . terior points, which drew 4an the cash reserves of the New York banks, '. was the immediate factor in squeezing v . the money market. But the large tie-up tie-up of capital in new bond and stock , issues, in extensive outlaya for expan- ' , sion in various lines of industry and ' in real estate investment and specula ) tion, together with the heavy demand f ' for the circulation on account of trad, activity, were recognized as the pre- ? disposing causes of the money sltua- tion. |
