...greater supplies of credit available in the country than they would ever need, and that the high discount rates which the Federal Reserve has maintained in effort to check speculation have largely been a "false front". Related to this situation is the relatively low level which call money has kept during the current crisis--a development most unusual in an uneasy market. Connected with these two characteristics is the recent development of "extra-banking" sources of funds, the "loans for others" that have bulked so largely in the call-market...
