Financial.
The Commercials money article says:
The money market exhibits steady return
toward the extreme. On some collaterals
the rate is generally G per cent, with ex-
ceptiOns at per cent. This morning the
demand from the street is generally report
ed less active. Discounts move more freely
and at slightly easier rates. Prime names,
60@90 days, are current at G per cent, with
exceptions, chiefly of longer date, at 6J@@7
per cent. Second class names are current
at SOLO per cent. The Sub-Treasury con-
tinues to disburse freely, with relief to the
market. The Sub-Treasury has redeemed
up to date eight millions of certificates of
indebtedness. Further large amounts may
be eeXpected to be presented for redemption
| after Tomorrow, when the certificates OF
dates called in cease to bear interest.
| The stock market is stronger under an
| Improvement OF about A per cent, in the
price of Erie. We understand that the
meeting of Directors held to-day will be
asked to ratify the negotiation of loan to
the company by Mr.. Drew upon the securi-
| ty of $4,000 shares of the stock. 1t Is sup
posed very generally that the stock thus
| hypothecated has been used for bearing the
market. We have rarely seen the street so
thoroughly incensed against mismanage-
ment as in the case of the Erie railroad
| Between bad management and the specula-
| tion OF leading director, the road appears
to be on its way toward the custody of a
receiver, unless some speedy and thorough
reform be adopted.
Cleveland & Pittsburgh is still freely
! thrown upon the market under the unloads
ing of the clique. The price declined this
morning 334c under the pressure. New
York Central, Reading, Michigan South
ern, Northwestern and Northwestern pre-
ferred are at present among the strongest
stocks on the list.
Governments continue quite firm. If the
Persia has brought any very important
amount of 5-20's they have not yet appear
ed on the market. 6's of 1881 are very
firm, and sell at 1O935@1O915. 1905 are
again firm; lst series quiet at l0235@10255.
l0-40's wanted by the Banks.
Gold continues comparatively quiet, and
without material change in the rates. The
rate on loans is fiat.
