The Stock market is without substantial change
Some of the clique stocks have been stiilened mp
by fresh bnying but there is no outside support
The high rate nj which commercial bills sell indicates
distress in mercantile circles fatal 70 the idea Of
help from outside buying Instead Of buying, tic
public is steadily selling high priced stocks to raise
money, and the cDqucs are adding to burden which
is daily increasing in rks0meneSs. Money sTeported
by some borrowers as easier, and with some
houses balances arc left at six per cent on
best collaterals. Away from the Stock Exchange
borrowers, the word ease - not mentioned in
connection with money. Among merchants the uni
yersal complaint is Of want Of purchasers for goods
large reduction from cost, and great difficulty III
meeting daily payments. Nothing Is permanent
with merchants except tho debit side OF their bill
books their house and store rents, and their house
and store expenses. These latter remain at tho high
figures at which they stood when war profits were
made, and beng met by drafts upon capital. and
in too many by the proceeds of goods 70 be
paid for. Parties with idle capital waiting 10 soc
what Congress will do and prefer call loans at the
present rate 10 buying anything whether Of stocks
goods. As Congress will not do anything hastily, the
present uncertainty in commercial affairs promises 70
be greater before any action is taken by Congress
