themselves free lenders to-day at per cent.
There is q break in the Gold Room corner of
2l613 per cent, and less disposition to lock up
Colo Notes on boTro wed money The cash Gold
was easy to-day, and this &C impaired tlrmness
to Exchange, and ease in the payment of Gus
toms. The latter amo counted to $445, ,000.n

"Money is wholly unchanged, and leading
houses have an abundance OF capital offered at

sits, specie and legal-tender items, with an In
crease in the circulation of 1914, $780,"
