FIHANcIAL.-F From tie New York Evening
Post Of yesterday:
The stock market remains very quiet, and we
notice the same f. stures have mari ed the deal
ings for more than a week back. The absence OF
stirring news from the Potomac leaves specu-
lators In a position where the least done the
better.
The quotations OF the Government Skies of 1891
stand almost stationary at s2A s92S for the regis
tered, and 90 a92 q for the coupons. The other
Issues are also without material change.
The absorption Of 30. Treasury notes goes
steadily on. The small notes command 4 pei
cent. mcre-99Ss99a. The Thousands . are
quoted esSa9aK
The demand notes are about = per cent. dis
count, with no pressure TO selh
Money - gradually working easier, and Dor
roweTs on call at per cent. are beginning TO pay
OF their loans, the rate In some quarters being
duced 70 6k. We hear Of exceptional business al
q per cent. The banks are again competing with
private lenders, ard the appearances are that at
per cent. the supply In a few days will largely
exceed the demand.
The speculation In gold seems to be reviving
and at 10l per cent. there Is strong buying. The
quotation is shade stifer than yesterday-closing
sales at 1O2S.
The deposits Of demand notes with Mr. Cisco
for per cent certificates average about $500, OOC
per day. The aggregate is about 81, 100000.
