Chase, special assistant to the attorney general, who for five years has been liaison officer between the attorney general and heads of the different divisions, has resigned to return to Vermont to become a member of the law firm of former Attorney General Sargent.

Chase resigned as state commissioner of taxes of Vermont to enter the department justice under Attorney General Sargent. The new firm which will be known as Stickney. Sargent and Chase, is located at Ludlow. Vt. New York, July back from a trip through the Midd'e West, the representative of one of our more successful investment trusts finds sentiment tin that part of the country much better than at home.

As a matter of fact, he reports that most of the bigger people through that section of the country express the belief that we are quite as "overpessimistic" at present as we were "over-optimistic" this time a year ago. It might be well to recall, however, that some of the men numbered among the biggest operators in the long bull movement came from that particular part of the country. This week's consolidated condition report of member banks in leading cities reporting to the Federal Reserve shows loans against security collateral reduced by $128,000,000 as compared with the $371,000,000 drop in brokers' loans shown in the Federal Reserve report for this district in the same interval. This makes a net drop of $77,000,000 in the past fortnight in such advances by member banks, when in the same period the weekly report on brokers' loans compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank here has shown a cumulative drop of $582.000,000. It now appears that the bulk of the latter figure represents withdrawals of corporation and "others" funds rather than those of banks.

Commercial borrowings rose $59,000,000 during the week making a total increase of $170,000,000 in such borrowings in the past fortnight. The general run of firms handling straight commission business are in exceptionally strong position, if the condition of the average firm of that character can be judged by the position of several of the largest. It appears that these firms are presently carrying less stock than at any time since last November. Correspondingly customer cash balances are large and represent considerable potential buying power traders are convinced that the process has been completed. What liquidations has been done recently is said to have been ch'efly of an investment character where customers have been picking up stocks on what they believe favorable opportunities and taking them out of the market.

i. The money market had to withstand the effect of another rather heavy call during the first three hours today. Withdrawals in that period were estimated to have run to about $90.000,000. This time, however, the depletion of available funds did not find reflection in an advance in the call money rate, the charge for day loans ruling at the per cent renewal figure. The reserve banks here and at Boston cut their buying rates on bills by 1-8 of 1 per cent bringing the rate down to 1 7-8 per cent on 90 day paper.

Close followers of the money situation believe that current rates will be found marked the bottom of the decline in interest rates and that firmer tendencies will be found ahead. WHEATJuly Sept Dec CORNJuly Sept Dec OATSJuly Sept Dec RYEJuly Sep Dec LARDJuly Sept Dec.
