movement in financial circles. Money continues
IN fair request, and loans are readily granted on
good colateras, but rates show q wider range
than for some time past. Geld opened in New
York this morning at l43, against l42l the closing
rates last evening; at IL NJ. it was quoted the
same, and at P. NJ. it closed at 1927. The move
ment here still continues of very limited charac-
ter and total transactions embrace only the fol
lowing, viz: $4,000 God late in the day at l42
