The Boston Traveller of Tuesday says:-
1.-THE stock market IS inactive for banks, fac
tory, insurance, railroad, land, and mining
shares, and interest paying railroad bonds; but
there is more doing in Government securities at
the Board and in the open Market Tomorrow
will be observed as close holiday, on account
OF the commencement at Harvard University;
consequently there will be no meeting of the
brokers for business
The Chicago Tribune OF Sunday says:-
'The Money Market closed in rather peculiar
| state. Balances are low both here and In New
| York, and while exchange on the East Is scarce
| oi9O q obOIb supply VI CuItcuCH'
| Meanwhile there Is a very active demand fer
money, and our bankers have enough to do to
| satisfy their customers and keep the country
| banks running. still, as a great many time
bills have gone forward with produce, relief
| will probably come at an early day in the shape
| OF heavy balances in the East. The rate of dis
| count at the bank IS steady at 10 per cent. per
| month. The market for Eastern exchange
remains very hrm, but we nave NO advance to
| note In rates. The banks are selling to each
| other at par, but the demand AT this rate is
| greater than the supply"
