Money continues very abundant in Baltimore
and there is no difficulty in effec,ing loans at low
rates. The demand for money is limited, and
prime paper is much sought for, beth by banks
and individuals Money can be readily had on
call with approved securities at per cent, ana
the discount rates on the street for the first class
business paper are now per cent for endorsed
and per cent, for single names. AT most o.
the banks the offerings of paper fall considera,
bly, below the current receipts The unusuai
abundance of money proceeds doubtless from
the general stagnation of business.
