Money is in active demand but it is obtainablc on
strictly first class paper at cent. Call loans are
making in most instances at per cent, few negot-

rate.
The New York Stock market this morning pre-
scented no new feature, and street prices were no
better than at the close last evening; Erie and Read
ing even shade lower. At eleven o'clock the
market became frmcr and the speculative stocks
advanced, while other stocks remained at opening
quotations. After this Board many transactions
took place the street. and under large purchases
Michigan Southern advanced to ,54. Erie was like
wise agitated. and sold at S. and Rock Island
brought 1857; but at the one o'clock session these
extreme prices not maintained, Erie declining
70 S21s, Michigan Southern to ,0I and Rock Island to
1885, while other stocks were strong Fort Wayne
sold at 9l25 at this call At half-past two the mar
ket continued firm, with the exception of New York
Central, which declined to 905s but at four o'clock
this stock rallied to 9l}5 other stocks remaining
steady, with little variation in prices. Bdyiccs from
Wall street up to six o'clock report the market firm,
with Michigan Southern selling at IA.
The control which is being gained over this stock
AMI Rock Island are probably in view of the APP
preaching elections, and their advancing prices ap
pear to stimulate similar movement in other stocks.
Erie affected the market days since in CORES
ponding manner. Notwithstanding stocks bear gem
orally the appearance of having been reasonably
active to-day and their prices have mostly improved.

little The business On Change is diverted from its
ordinary channels. and combinations appear to rule
the market. Such being the case, the market is
only artifcialIy sustained where cIues do not exist
The transactions in Bonds were not large. Early
in the day Tennessee's offered at s., decline
of ~ per cent since yesterday, but later they i'm

Gold opened at 1905 to =. and advanced to 1867

close Money is still easy at per cent.
The New Y rk bank statement is regarded az very
favorable. The egal-tenders have increased five
