New Tork. March 12. Although
there Is the highest authority for
the report that sold in large volume
Is actually on the way to Kc . - York
from London, no official announce
ment of the fact has been made and
for that reason Wall street Thurs
day expressed doubts concerning: it.
The result was a wave of profit
taking- that closed some of the most
active issues net lower. But- this
selling- waa not of the best charac
ter. It came spasmodically and
most of It was Just at the close.
SOSBT PLENTIFUL
The action of foreign exchange in ad
vancing; to a new high record for the
rvovement with sterling; at 3.82V4j to
arether with the fact that call money
eras plentiful at 7 per cent and time
money waa to be bad at 8 and 8V per
cent. Indicating; that the banking; situa
tion haa changed. It is not clear why
official announcement of the gold ship
ment is withheld, but shipment of this
same gold from Berlin to London was
riade secretly. Perhaps the bankers
want to execute a coup in the stock
market.
In the early trading new high prices
for the movement were recorded in Gen
eral Motors. Studebaker, Reading; and
several Inactive issues, notably Ameri
can Brake Shoe preferred. Business
Tvoa on a larire scale. The reaction in
the rharket toward the close waa not
severe enoufh to mean anything more
than a fluctuation.
MOSEY RATE RULES'
Leading borrowers of money said the
real reason for the advance for the stock
market at this time is not the gold Im- i
ports nor' the stock dividend decision so
much km it is the fact that the senate
haa asked the federal reserve board
what- about rates being charged by the
banka For several weeka fie market
for stocks has been at the mercy of
the call money market.

Federal Reserve bank to the effect that
