The New York Tribune this morning says:-
money on call il 6@7 per cent, and brokers
OF good credit and ample capital have been free
borrowers at the latter rate. The leading
lenders of the street to-day put up their loans to
Nor nnTnf fArr
quence. Currency is scarce among the
has to be done when large checks are
called for in cash, and that too, by banks re-
The banks as whole, are not IN position to
expand. They have too large proportion of
their capital and deposits invested in United
States stocks, or loaned upon them, to permit
them to go to the rescue OF traders in grain,
provisions, dry goods, or stocks, and relief can
only come to borrowers by selling the commodi-
ties they are holding on speculation by borro wed
money"
