The Commercial says the market is well supplied
with loanable funds. To-day there issome running
around to place money over Sunday even at 8 per
cent, the regular rate on call loans, however, be-
ing I per cent. The payment Of interest upon 7-aOs
has put a good deal Of surplus money Upon the
market but the increased supply Of funds does not
seem likely TO produce any reduction in rate of
interest. The demand from the street Is on the in
crease, owing to the growing activity Of stock spec
ulation.
Railroad speculation is confined chiefly to Read
ing, Cleveland Il Pittsburg, and Cleveland & To-
ledO. Cleveland q Pittsburgh has reacted from

1O,4OO shares, closing at 2% advance. Chicago 4
Northwestern common were more active and rose
q. The excitement in Ohio & Mississippi Certii-
Gates has subsided, but the price is firm at adj
vance.
The demand for governments is less active and
gold interest bonds are weaker.
The demand for discount is active, both at banks
and on the street. Banks are dealing in paper
rather more freely, but show a strict preference
for well known names. Prime bills are discounted
at 769 per cent; other grades more slowly at 100
is per cent.
Gold less active but quite firm. A rumor was
current on the street this morning that Gen. Logan
had left Washington for his destination as Minis
ter TO Mexico, but it fell fiat upon the market.

urday evening.
