SUNDAY Feb. L 1852

SUNDAY, Feb. l. 1863.
The money market was quite active last week
though rates varied widely, according to borrow.
ers and coateras. The best borrowers in
the street have as much money offered them
AT and as they can use, and, in their case,
margins are not closely scrutnizcd. On the other
hand, the weak spectators who have been operat
ing at the public board, in many eases to an cx.
tent wholly uDustited by their means, find il ex.
tremey difficult to borrow money al seven with
margins Of ten TO fifteen per cent. On dividend
paying stocks. such Central, Erie preferred
Michigan Central. Galena and Rock Island
bankers generally willing TO lend within fifteen
to twenty per cent Of the market price Of the
stock at not over per cent per annum.
But, on non-dividend paying shares, it has
proved difficult to borrow, at any rate Of
interest, except on margins which few of
the smaller spectators can AFFORD 10 pu, up. In
one word, money is abundant; but money lenders
are cautious and dstrus,iul Of The advance in
stocks and Of the strength of The spectators who
are operating in them. To certain extent the
prudent caution OF the regular lenders has been
defeated by the willingness of private capitalists
10 lend money on ten per cent margins on the or.
binary speculative stocks Of the day. Bank de.
positors are naturally ANXIOUS 70 make theT IA
lance earn interest overnight and many Of them
now make q rule OF depositing their money with
some csta blished stock firm AT the close Of bank
hours This practice is likely to become general.
Every merchant capitalist knows some broker
who will take his bank balance at five or six per
cent and give him stocks TO secure the loan, with
such margin to leave but little risk OF loss. The
recent attempt TO check speculation in stocks by
calling in loans and refusing to renew them, ex
cent with excessive margins. is neither novel nor
can Il be oifectual Devices of this kind are just
as idle a. Congressional attempts to restrain the
