The New York Times this morning says
"rne supply OF money to the brokers was
quite easy to-day at GOT per cent most of the
private lenders and some of the heavy banks
acce pting the lower figure. Several of the large
stock firms on the street carried over heavy
cash balances which they were unable TO en-
ploy. g.. ... ii yltU.
"As on yesterday there was an active demand
to borrow stocks for the use of the Bear interest
and as the opposite party are not aiming at
present to make them scarce, nearly all the
railways are freely lent, and soc per cent. in
terest allowed on the money advanced ueon
them. OF course the effect of this mutual ope-
ration is in a measure, to diminish the demand
for money at bank" -r
