A ClncInnatl paper OF saturdoy remarks:--

The demand for money continues to increase, and
the market daily becomes more stringent. The
banks are unable to fully supply the wants OF Their
deposit0rs and larger amount OF paper than usual
Is thrown upon the open market. In bank paper Is
closely scrutinzed ana rates frm for the best
grades at 10 per cent, only depostors being able
TO obtain money ut these rates. while IN the open
market IL per cent Is readily obtained on good
names.
Boston journal OF Saturday thus refers to the
same subject
In the money market rates remain irn The
wants OF borrowers seem to be increasing faster
than the means OF lenders. Many OF the banks are
unable to strictly conform TO tile wishes Of all their
customers and those parties in want OF funds who
about these times unless very liberal Offers made,
say Il TO per cent the very best paper, So for
very good names aud q IL per cent for signatures
not ranking at first class. The banks are uniformly
asking per cent as rule, with the usual excep-
lions above ana below according to circumstances
wen understood. Cali loans on government col
laterals Q per cent.
