AMERICAN MARKETS.
Nr.w Tout, MARCH •5.

The lowest street rate for money, either on demand
loans or on business paper, is 7 per cent. A very slight cur-
tailment is taking place in the discount line of the Banks,
generally—thus throwing a larger amount of good business
paper into the hands of private capitalist.. The immediate
effect is of course to lessen the deposit, ; for an negotiations
in private hands will reduce for the moment to the same
extent individual deposits. As soon as a reacti.m takes place
and the eggregato of loans among the banks .5 enlarged the
depolits increase is the same portion. Endorsed paper is
discounted at Bto 9 per cent., and single names at 9c. to
2e. Thero is a further depression of price; at tne
Stock Board, and no indications at present of a
favourable change. At the Board to-day there was

vestment more than for speculation. The premiums ob-
tained to-day were—for Bank of Commerce, 81; Ocean
