...effect was most patent of all: with some $5,000,000,000 out bolstering stock market prices and with tension increasing, and with the Federal Reserve rate jacked up to 4½% all over the country to try and decelerate this movement-the money market of the U. S. was momentarily "high" and Secretary Mellon was obliged to offer, tax-exemption and all, the highest rate*he has paid in four years on short-term borrowings. Money men noted, also, that he made no specific reference to the terms that will be offered for financing the remaining...
...general lest the most serious disorders if not battles should ensue. In the circumstances, it was permissible to ask hourly, last week, "Peking, Peking, who's got Peking?"

Others said the Absolute Negative, or perhaps a Loyal Acquiescence, would go to the convention in Chairman Butler's pocket, in a letter from Mr. Coolidge to be read...
...more due to an attempt to discourage speculation than to registration of any fundamental unsoundness of industry. With the banks continuously increasing their deposits, it is natural that these surplus funds will be placed in outside channels seeking good investment. "I do not share the opinion that the present movement of the stock market is due to any one man or group of individuals but is due to world-wide prosperity. . . . In Paris, London and Berlin good securities have had terrific advances. The world's capital is seeking profitable investment...
