NEW IORE, Oct. 2T.-The Commercial
saws that monetary affairs continue in an
unsettled condition. There is a general
scarcity Of currency, and some Of the banks I
complain Of difficulty IN meeting the de-
maud for legal tender. There is still ]
steady outflow Of currency to the South and
Southwest, which is only partially set off bv
the current increase Of the National BANK 4
circulation. The street is almost exclusively s
supplied by private bankers and brokers' D
The prevailing rate on call being seven per D
cent, the revival Of speculation in stocks has
increased the demand for call loans, but
there is no difficulty in borrowing on good
cOllaterals.
There IS a general feeling Of relief at the
report that the Secretary Of Treasury has
no intention ofmaking auy further attempt
at funding the currency until after the e
meesng Of Congress. The withdrawal of a
go 900 600 Of currency has produced a T,
stringency which has excited great alarm,
and IL Is everywhere conceded that an "
early repetition OF such experiments would Y
produce the most disastrous results.
The stock market is decidedly stronger. / '
