The New YORK Tribune this morning says:-
money is offered in abundance at 4G5 per
cent. and stock house n Ike up their accounts
with unusual ease. In commercial paper, no
change of consequence. Best names pass at
per cent, good at 5S06t. The disposition with
1noneyenders is to make short engagements at
low interest, and money at call promises to rule
low during the next tour months Congress has
adjourned without taking an important step
towards reducing the volume OF the currency,
and the effect of this neglect will oe soon ap-
parent in the form OF specuations OF all kinds.
A part of the advance of this morning is to be
attributed to the European news, but the chief
element of strength in stocks is to be found In
the certainty of cheap money and crops enough
to give the railroads large earnings and the re-
sulting confidence of the public"
