Money is reported to be somewhat easier at New
York but we see no improvement to note in the
dition of the market here. The demand continues
very active, and per cent. is still the minimum note
for the very best paper.
The President and Directors of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Company have
declared dividend of per cent for the quarter
ending September Both, free Of State and National
taxes, payable on and after November Goth.
In New York stocks buoyant on Saturday
and again to-day, the greatest advance day being
in Fort Wayne, which improved per cent. Most of
the other stocks on the list improved the advance
being from x to per cent. The improvement in the
market grows out of free supply of money 10
brokers at per cent and general impression that
for some time call loans would be abundant less
than legal rates. Among spectators the theory gem
orally prevails that the termination Of the funding
scheme insures surplus Of money for short engage
ments. which will be found in stocks with the usual
effect upon prices.
The New York money market is reported much
easier, and rates rule III favor of the borrower, upon
long as well as short engagements. Exchange at
New York is dull and frst-class bills are quoted as
