The New York Tribune this morning says:-
''The Money Market is more active, and loans
on call are made at per cent. Some old loans
are not marked up. and upon Governments bet
ter terms are made than upon Railway shares,
which form the bulk of stock collaterals. There
is an increased supply OF commercial paper.
Prime still passes at per cent, and good at So
On6, but there is an increasing amount OF a kind
which holders are ready to sell at legal rates
and little better. The Bank statement shows
a material expansion in loans S3,642, 900, with
an increase of circulation of $685. 454, and q
loss of 81, ,428, 652 in legal-tenders. The specie
shows gain of $l,074,3lO, which is the pro-
ceeds of interest upon the l0-4Os. The demand
for money to move the crops of the West and
South is steadily increasing, and at no distant
dev LENDERS of money will be able to make lepa'
interest at call and something better upon Ions
naner and speculative enterprises generally"
