Quotations of Gold-10 A. NJ, l492; IL A. NJ,
1494; IL NJ, 149s; p. NJ, l492
The New York tribune this morning sa7s:--
money is abundant at per cent. on call,
and among brokers 5dl6 per cent. In commercial!
paper no change. Best names pass at per cent.at
the discount houses and good at 1905 per cent. 1t
is the common belief that Congress will adjourn
without further legislation in regard to funding
the short currency debt and leave the Secretary
OF the Treasury free to continue funding under
the plan recently in operation. This mode
requires continued easy money market, and
spectators are beginning to shape their course
accordingly, and are ready to buy for an advance
in most stocks. Exchange is nominal at yester-
days rates."
The New York Herald this morning says:-
''The money market remains easy at 4G5 per
cent, with the supply in excess of the demand.
1t does not follow that an abundance of none
tary facilities is conducive to rise in prices on
the Stock Exchange; but it may be safely as
sumed that without them any important 'bulP
movement would be Impossible, and Just now
the temper of the street is decidedly in favor OF
speculation for a rise. The demand for discounts
is light, and 6rstclass commercial paper is
quoted at 5@6s per cent. The Western money
markets are moderately easy, and at Chicago
prime paper passes freely at 10 per cent, while
the supply OF exchange on New York ls made
quate TO meet the demand, and the leading
bankers have to forward currency daily to this
city to maintain their balances. The rates are
par buying and lilo premium selling, but large
amounts are in request among bankers at a pre-
MUM of 90 cents per thousand"
