seller and it closed at 1891 bid 1885 asked regular
way. At New York it ruled through the day at 1888
The market for it fairly active, the sales adding
up about $685. 900.
Governments were quiet and the market for them
hardly as strong yesterday. There was nothing

$l10 bid Mineral Hill sold at IS cts buyer 3d. Santa

We see no changeto note in the condition of the
money and loan markets. There is very little paper
of any description offering. and first class can be very
easily placed at p cent. Call loans may be quoted
at q cent, but the amount of capital Offering on
call is largely in excess OF the demand.
At New York the Money market is without change
in any respect Call loans are offered in great album
dance at low rates. 5@6 per cent with lower terms in
numerous cases, Commercial paper 6l5@71@ for
choice short bills and sac for good. There is large
list which be had at 1Q@l5 but this is not in ia
vor. The low price of money on call does not stimu-
late speculation outside the stock market and there
is the disposition to await the movements Of the
Treasury Department.
Foreign exchange is weak under an increased sup
ply of bills and limited demand. Bankers bills on
England at sixty days are at 1esl4@1OS5s, the best
quality being drawn at loss net. Commercial bills
of the first grade quoted at 10Sdl0SI4.
The Tribune says: good deal has been said about
the low interest of the national debt but the
method OF keeping it down kept out of sight 1t is
done by circulating several hundred millions of due
bills" &C. as United States notes and fractional cur
rency wholly irredeemabe which should be put into
funded debts of some kind without unnecessary de-
lay: The national debt, with all its magnitude Is
still the.best secured of any similar obligation in the
world and sure to be paid, principal and interest
while the debts of European nations promise to show
decrease. But that is not the question to be de-
national debt extended in form where the interest
be met, and the means be secured to redeem the
principal gradually. las cannot be by Offering
bonds of short date and low interest at time when
capital in ordinary basiness commands from to Is
per cent. The government, when it comes as u Dor
rover must be prepared to pay current rates in short
bonds or sell long to tempt buyers for invest
ment here and in the money markets of Europe.
