We are without any change to note in the con-
dition of the Money market. The offerings at the
Banks continue below their receipts, and this will
In all probability be the for time to come,
as the wants of the business community are grow
ing less. Such prime paper as finds its way to the
street is readily done at per cent, at which rate
call loans are easily effected
