~ Financial.
New YORK, Feb. 26.-The Commercials
money article contains the following: The
money market exhibits symptoms of re-
| cOvery from the depression produced last
week by the Treasury gold transactions.
| This morning the inquiry is active for call
| loans. Applications are generally met at
| rs on the street. Borrowers, however, are
accommodated at the expense of sellers of
paper. The banks are discounting very lit
tie, and an immense amount of paper is
consequently thrown upon the streets. This
movement Is reflected in series of loans,
rs shown by the bank statement, amount
ing to So 202052. The rates of discount
are consequently = and per cent. higher.
| Prime paper is current at 7@S per cent;
| good at 5000 per cent; other grades
| l0@lS per cent. Three banks were ap-
| piled to early this morning for National
| Bank currency by a firm, not one of which
could meet the request. The banks have
been receiving moderate amounts of cur
rency from the West, the effect of large
sales of gold. 1t is difficult to perceive
what induced the Treasury Department to
this violent movement in the money mar
ket.
The stock market is kept dull by the
pinching; bulls and bears are alike. Gov
ernments are steady but quiet, except 1905,
which are 18c lower, with predominance
of sellers. Compound interest notes are
weak under the proposal to render them in
eligible as a legal tender and issue for Ma
tional Banks. We note the several dates
as follows: Gold shows partial recovery
from the low rates current on Saturday,
The price ranged at 1365s@l3718 during
the morning, with slight upward ten1en-
cy. 1t is presumed that for the present the
Treasury has suspended its sales, and there
is consequently more confidence among
buyers. Foreign exchange quiet. The
continued scarcity of produce bills sustains
the late prevailing quotations, but check
operations. The leading drawers quote
sixty days sterling at l0S2l.
