there was lighter demand to-day than yesterday

per cent having been fewer, while the principal

required. The general rate for loans stock col
laterals was, however, four per cent; and those
banks which had previously advanced their rates
to i've per cent, finding it difficult to
employ their funds were willing to lend
considerable amounts at tour in the afternoon.
There is no change TO note in commercial paper,

attended to-day, and the bidding was on the whole
spirited, particularly for choice silk and woollen
goods satisfactory prices being realized, while but
few lots had to be passed.
