In reference to the pressure in the money
market in New York, the Star makes the fol-
lowing statement:
"For a loan of $4,000 bonus Of ten and q
half per cent. per month cas paid on short
loans of day, and sometimes week, flVe
dollars day are paid on $1,000, with unques-
tionable security this is equal to 1s2 per cent:
per annum. Our most responsible brokers find
it for their account to take money liable to be
called for at any moment, at .fue per cent per
month, with theview of loaning it at enhanced
prices. Notwithstanding these excessive
rates, scarcely commercial failure of any inr-
portance has taken place"
