Money is easier again. We hear of many loans
at five per cent though the general asking rate is
six. Good paper is very scarce.
Exchange closed dull at liz ll21I for bankers
sterling Neither drawers nor importers seemed
anxious to do business. Gold was in fair request
to-day at ~ 2 per cent.
The stock market was on the whole better to-
day than yesterday, though there was great
deal Of realizing nevertheless Government stocks
improved on the prospect that the absurd scheme
published in the papers on Friday will be thrown
overheard by the Committee of Ways and Means.

vanced "a, other State stocks being steady. The

pecially in the afternoon. New York Central rose

mama %s Illinois Central "a, Rock Island %. Pa.
cifc Mail, in which there has been great deal of
realizing, touched 90 at one period Of
the day, and closed at 9sH bid, an ad-
advance of per cent Spectators are
offering bets that the February dividend will be
ten per cent. Other parties, who pretend to su-
peror information, assert that the extra five per
cent which the. company has earned will be used
in the purchase of Pacific Mail stock At the close
