The New York Tribune this morning says:-
''The reaction of the month is the natural re-
suit of speculation, ard has damaged specula-
tors chiefly. The fall has not attracted the
notice of Congress, which properly leaves Ope-
rators IN stocks to arrange their affairs with as
much indifference as was shown when pork and
hog products broke SIG per barrel in SINGLE
month,
Money is per cent. to brokers upon mixed
collaterals, with ample margins, and upon
Government stocks, to leading houses. The
borrowing demand has been much reduced by
the collapse in stocks, and accounts are made up
with readiness. In commercial paper no special
change. Some prime names pass at 7 per cent
ana the range is 7@S; good, 9@l2 per cent.
- The Boston Post says:-
THE banks have been doing moderate busi-
ness in the discount line, principally at about
per cent. on undoubted paper of short date.
OUTSIDE of the banks prime commercial notes of
thTee and four months double namesl have
been negotiated at 7@S per cent. BreadstutFs
and gram continue dull, and low prices have
been accepted"
