‘Wall Street to College

On Wednesday: afternoon, April 0,
. Mr. Henry Wise Miller spoke on
“Speculation i Wall. Street” at the
- Common Room tea at Goodhart Hall.
The many. uses.of.the. term “money”
are misleading to the general public.

“Call money” is a Short term loan

called in by the brokers every twenty-
four ‘hours, and its rate varies from
day to day. There are two groups of
figures available showing the amounts
of such loans: first, that published by
the Federal Reserve Banks, and sec-
ond, that published by the Stock
Exchange itself. :

Money loaned in this way formerly
came ftom bank contributors. All the
small banks eventually sent their
money in to New York banks, who
loaned it to the Stock’ Exchange,
whose’ seéurities are among the best in
the world. Now. we have entered a
new phase of business, and holders of
surplus wealth loan directly. This a
new type of credit expansion has
taken place, and business has grown
‘beyond present understanding.

“Phe Federal Reserve Banks exer-
cise a certain amount of control over
speculation. They use various minor
means of ¢ontrolling rates, and bring
into play a restraining police super-

the business man.were without : the
Exchange he would probably put his
money outlays

into _ factories: and:

where he could not readily get at it.

“Wfien, the’ ‘same money is, used on the
Exchange, eveti if the firm fails, the

money is still in use somewhere.
Speculation is dangerous now, how-
ever, because it is ithpossible to tell
what relation prices bear to prosperity. Slight -optimism rapidly
develops into a boom, and basil
quickly spreads.

*Some feel that speculation is unjus-
tified gambling; others feel that legis-
lation against, it would tend to restrict
all. but gainful trades.” As men work
only for what interests them in any
usiness, so men in Wall street desire
prosperity and are creating it.
