The New York branch of the Federal Reserve Hoard held a meeting yesterday that lasted over four hours, after which it was simply announced that the re-discount rate would not be raised. The Stock Exchange was considerably disturbed to-day by a rumour that a sensational fight on that subject had occurred yesterday over the telephone! between the board and the Treasury. The unsettled feeling was accentuated j to-day. when call money rose from | per cent, to 3 0 per cent. The market closed weak, and appar- j ♦ iiMy the relief caused by the unchanged ; re-discount rate was tempered by the j length of the board’s meeting and the i reported quarrel with the Treasury, ■ which had supposedly persuaded the New York board to keep down the rate j against the local wish. x i THE LONDON MARKETS iAustralian and XX.
