The Money Market is fairly active at per
cent. for call loans, and 7@s per cent. DER
| annum for discounts. On the lst of May about
! S24 200, 900 becomes payable bv the Treasurer
| on account of coupons. Probably $40 600, 900
| of the amount is due to foreign holders OF 6ve-
! twenties. 1t would, however, be unsafe to
conclude that the whole of this amonnt will
| go abroad, as usually considerable portion of
| coupons in Europe is reinvested in bonds. 1t
is not otimprobable that SIG 000 900 or Sl9 000 900
out of the S24 4000,0 900 will remain to supply the
| market.

The Cincinnati Gazette says:-
"The deposits have been running down for
several days, and are at this time unusually
low. This is accounted for in part by the with
drawal of unemployed balances for investment
in Government securities, TO avoid taxation.
From this movement and the preparations on
the part of the national banks tor their quar-
terly statement, the market Is likely to be very
close for week or ten days to come. Rates OF
interest in the regular way range from to Il
Der cent. but outside capital can be invested a.
12@l5 for the time being"
