Money is easy at 4a5 y cent. and loans are re-
ported at less. Commercial bills sell at C@' 4 cent
for nrne and sac for second rate. There is as yet
no large demand for currency from the West but
there are indications of preparations by Western
bankers for the crop movement. This is now shown
bv the conversion of Government Stocks into money
which is placed TO the credit of Western banks The
most experienced bank managers in New-Yorl1 are
keeping their funds under immediate control ana
care less for interest than for security.

able August 90.
The excitement in stock circles continues, and
there is no abatement of confidence among inexperl-
eneed operators that prices are soon TO rule much
higher. This view of the case is strengthened III
