Chicago journal thus refers to the local money
market on Saturday last:-
To-day the most noticeable feature in financial
circles was the falling or in the country demand
for currency several banks reporting that they had
received orders for only one-half the amount they
had been accustomed to send out within the past ten
days. None Of this currency thus sent out has yet
been returned, but the opinion now prevails that
most OF the new crops have been drawn against and
within few days return now Is anticipated. The
arrivals or currency from New York were also below
the average for some little time past and most banks
report that they can conveniently place all they care
TO- There Is but little If any improvement to note in
the local demand outside or grain circles the inquiry
from mercantile quarters only being moderate. We
quote the market quiet, though rather close at ten
per cent per annum.
