The week closes upon the easiest money market
known at any time during tho Summer, call loans
were nominay S94 per cent; but at these rates it
was impossible to lend, and large balances were
placed at 2 per cent. The movement West during
the week was quite moderate Notwithstanding the
banks have lost gel 600 900 in deposits in three weeks
money appears as abundant as ever. The market
has lost cause of the strngency last FALL that has
escaped the attention OF the public; last year the
amount OF Governments ia the hands Of dealers
and bankers for sale fully so0O0Q0O and during
the whole Of the pressure for money, dealers were
sharp competitors for funds to carry their load pay
ing sound commissions for the money, which IN all
cases they were able TO get before the wants Of stock
houses were supplied This year the Government
Brokers have not over ten millions Of all classes Of
bonds on hand, and are large lenders Of money. OF
the bonds on the market. fully twO-thirds are now
carried without interest as the short interest," is very
large and bonds in sharp borrowing demand The city
hanks hold but few bonds that will come the mar
ket this Fall. and the entire amount OF Government
bonds held by the National banks is less at the pres
ent time, than the amount held by brokers during
the money stTingeney of 1867 The s50,0O0,0O0 have
ceased to DO a burden upon Sur currency, having
been shipped abroad, and the continued demand will
probably take all the bonds that come out ID the
next four months from the country banks TO supply
their needs for currency. The advance IN our bonds
both at home and abroad is looked upon in political
circles caused by the assurance Of the election OF
Grant and consequent fulfilling Of the public faith
in regard to the payment of the debt. '. lll'
