It has beon unofficially but none the less definitely made known that the ad vance to 4 4 per »ent in their rediscount iRtes announced la -1 week by the F^cWa! Reserve banks in New York and Boston was designed to check what is called in flation. and especially the sort of infla tion that fosters th< speculative buying of -ecuritje^ nnd staph- commodities. The issue Is therefore joined. It re mains to be pern whether the conserva t’srn of the li nkers < an prevail over the desire to buy inspired by advancing prices. For a few days after the advance In rat^s was announcer] the market* w«re reactionary, tut by Tuesday they had ' nmmenced to recover their previous buoyancy. Ftockn starred up tigain. Cot inn futures reach'd and passed 3* cents. Copper touched 17 cents. Zinc sold at 7.65 iems, the highest pm© since October. 192b. Tin went to 45 cents a pound, which !• a record since September 1920, and iron and ster-i are up from $2 to $3 a ton with the whole Industry working at 90 per cent of capacity, while would-be buyers n-e begging the manufacturers to accept their order* Predict f»Ood Htl*llies*. Tn the wholesale and Jobbing irade Feb ruary is traditionally a “between sea son*" month, but the demand for mer chandise has nevertheless been excellent and it would appear that the confidence in the future which T noticed in the west v.m be reflected in an unusually good spring business. In view of this r*<ord there seems rea son to doubt whether the higher interest rates will immediately r he. k or reverse the upward tendency of price*, and now that t lie first shock of the unexpected advance has passed off man> arc saying that dear money is always a concomitant of good t.men and that when business i« profit able no one begrudges paying wed for the c*edit he requires Hunks In f ontrol. Of course the banks can ultimate rf*« strain the uprush of prices d>* persis tently advancing th" co-t of borrowed • apltal. but even the Federal Reserve board must reckon with public opinion and unless the reserve ratio falls below f-0 per cent there is little likelihood that federal reserve authorities w.U be al lowed to lift the rediscount ra’e to ■*- fig ure that would mean more than 6 per • ent to the ultlma'e borrower The effert/«.f t «u- advum ■ n th re-itF count rates established Inst v r-k Is ap parent In the weekend statements of the Federal ltej»er*<* system, which show a re duction in both discounts and circulation, and an advance in the reserve ratio, v. hieh now stands at *»> as against 7&.H per cent a week ago The reserve ratio of the New York bank in particular Iis.h : .«en from 79 per cent. » * The.-e figures indicate t contraction rather than ;m expansion of credit. and upon second Rank clearings t Brads! ree;*» in thou sands . .

The export, demand has not been brisk. Financial New York, March 4—It was evi dently the emphatic advance of prices for staple commodities which absorbed the attention of last week's financial markets. This advance was in a way spectacular. It brought not only ac tion but most, of the basic metals to prices not reached since 1920 The grain markets hesitated but other foodstuffs—sugar and coffee, for in stance—similarly got back into the 1920 ground. Nope of these markets touched the high mark of lho after-war rise In prices, but the advances over the low point of 1921 range all the way from 43 per cent in copper to 180 per cent j in cotton, and their average advance thus far In 1923 has licen not far short of 20 per cent. This striking movement has had natural effect in stimulating the stock market, both lie cause it proves the activity of the trade Revival and because It has aroused the spirit of speculation for the rise. signlfirMnre Not t leer.
