AT Chicago money is quoted in active de-
mand at bank, where only the best customers
can be accommodated. Those who are forced
to the open market pay from J. to % per
cent. per month on miscellaneous Collateral.sg
The latest dates from Cincinnati notice ex-
treme closeness of the Money Market. The
future Is thought to wear brighter aspect, how
ever, from the high range of prices of the
Western hog crop. If these are maintained
without extension of credits. the future NAV
turn out as hoped for; but If high prices are the
result OF credit sales, the evil day of settlement
is but deferred, not met.
