The Chicago Tribune of Wednesday SAYS:
-, The money mar let is gradually becoming closer.
The near approach of the time when the National
Banks have to make their, next quarterly report has
some effect the part Of bankers contract rather
than expand; but apart from this there is actual
scarcity Of currency, caused mainly by decrease in
the deposit accounts. In all branches of trade we
begin to hear the complaints that collections are
SLOW" and that money IS very scarce" Forum
ately for the bankers the demand for money is not
very active, but comparatively light it is none but
the best customers accommodated at 10 4 cent
per annum. Second class payer is discounted on the
stances q cent per month is obtained. On Change
advances are made to grain dealers, fair averages
at lO9l2 q cent per annum There is very little
Eastern exchange making, and the market is very
firm at par buying and lilo premium discount selling
Nearly all our bankers have still to forward currency
TO New ork daily to sustain their balances there.
