The banks were inundated with requests for funds from all directions, and they were forced to call in their loans. As a result, the bill brokers and others were THE GREAT WAR AND THE LONDON MONEY MARKET 189 obliged to seek accommodation by borrowing from the Bank of England. The Bank assisted them by purchasing their " short " bills. This was on the 29th July. By the 30th July the pressure of sales on the London Stock Exchange became almost unbearable. Enormous quanti- ties of stocks were dispo...sed of on foreign account at any prices that could be obtained, and, finally, the " House " itself was seen in the toils.
