The New York Hera d this morning says:-
'The Money Market remains easy at 0D5 per
cent. tor loans returnable on demand, the
majority of the transactions being at the lower
rate. Some of the bears are, however, en-
deavoring to excite aOprehensions that drain
OF currency westward and southward from this
point Is going forward, which VIII result IN atf>
advance OF the rate OF interest 10 seven per cent
Tor call loans. Doubtless the banks would like
to get seven per cent. for their money, and they
are disposed to encourage whatever leads in
this direction but 1t remains for us to say that
there is no possibility of any further considera-
Die drain either westward or southwark.
