SOUTH KOREAN MONEY SUPPLY FALLS IN MARCH

  South Korea's M-2 money supply fell two
  pct to 33,463.4 billion won in March from 34,030.3 billion in
  February, provisional Bank of Korea figures show.
      It rose a revised 0.5 pct in February and was up 14.7 pct
  from a year earlier.
      M-1 money supply fell 8.7 pct to 7,767.8 billion won in
  March against a revised rise of 4.3 pct in February. It has

      Bank officials said the March falls were due mainly to
  various measures by the bank to absorb excess money.
