The report covers total shares traded in New York and Boston with Baldwin and Ventura as active issues, notes a money rate surge to 16 percent before easing, and highlights Chandler Motors and other motor stocks as strong. It cites Studebaker 1919 results, Liberty bond fee increases, and personnel moves including McCracken joining Crowley.
The listing shows diverse bonds and yields from NYNH&N NYNWEH to Erie and Penn bonds, including 4s, 5s, and 6s with various maturities and issuers such as Utah Power and Pacific routes. References appear to prices and series like 1921 1922 1955, with names including Edison and Lehigh Valley, and notes on railroad and utility issues across multiple states.

Treasury retirements of $60 million monthly push toward easing money conditions. Banks nationwide doubled deposits since 1863 to 1914, with Boston banks rising by about $100 million each since the war began, and brokers describe market-making risks from pools and cliques.
