MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoNKY-In stringent active demand, and
general calling in of loans the pressure be-
Ing equal TO the worst time of last spring.
The banks are unable to expand owing to
the near approach of the quarterly state
meat, and business at Legal rate or per
cent currency was quite small, per cent
gold or g1k per annum was generally the
minimum late, and as high as per cent
gold with = per cent per day commission,
cent CURRENCY with 4 per cent per day
commission OF 9S1% per cent per Rnnum.
After three O'Clock loans were made at per
cent gold and per cent currency with a
commission OF 1-32 TO per cent. Friday

be only q limited business on Saturday
which will cause many borrowers 10 pro.

Hency Is the effect OF a LOCKING up OF green
packs, continued shipment OF currency

the suspension OF banking firms in LOuiA-
willie and st. Louis. The leading speculative

ket enabled large holders to sell freely and
the stock has passed into weaker hanus and
been more widely dlIiused; this lncreak ed
the number OF needy borrowers and Affects
the money market considerably. The
January dIvidSnds and re,uin OF money
from the west and south will tend 10 relieve
the market early in the new year.
