The New York Tribune this morning says:-
Money on call has been more active under the
fluctuations In stocks, but accounts are made
up with great ease at low rates. AT 4(05 per
cent. the supply is far in excess of the wants
of the street. In commercial paper no change.
Best sells at per cent, and good at 5s@6
per cent. The supply of money at the close of
business was large, and holders reported more
difficulty in placing their balances. The bank
statement shows no material alteration beyond
a loss of So, 4S6,oOO of legal tenders, which has
been sent West"
AT New Orleans ON the I'd inst. foreign ex-
change was quiet by firm. Supplied were limited,
and the demand little better than nominal,
Sterling was quoted at 149 for bills of ladlng,
and l52@154 for Al to first-class, and 166@l57
for bank; and francs at 367@ for AL commercial,
and 800 for bank. In domestic exchange the
banks checked on New York at per cent. dis
count at which they drew to fair extent.
