Money inactive; demand firm; six per
cent. being the general rate on call. Lend
ers discriminate closely on discount. but
rates remain steady at 7@S per cent. for
prime names and SOLO for good. Foreign
exchange very dull; market glutted. Bills
on the best bankers names offered at lO6H

long francs. Sterling cotton bills are worth
1851. Gold less active; the price has
ranged at I275sd128.
Loans are mostly made fiat. The stock
market is feverish, under the speculation
operations. There are many heavy losers

the operation.
