FINANCIAL AND CONNER CiAL.

SATURDAY. Apnl 20-6 ?. NJ
The stock market dun and rather heavy this
morning, but improved early in the afternoon and
closed steady at the advance Money was in super
abundant supply at SIX cent railway shares and at
five governments, the exceptional transactions at
seven per cent being unimportant, while there
few reported as low as four per cent There Is very
little activity in the discount lne and first class
mercial paper passes at per cent and in some
cases at half per below this rate 1t expected
that the statement OF the associated banks for the
current week will show decrease or about two
and half millions in loans and q million
in specie, and Of million in deposits and
three millions in legal tenders and these figures win
feet tendency which exists towards tho stagna-
ton Of capital in the absence Of an increased demand
from the stock Exchange. 4 ANt st ft8
