FRIDAY, Dec. IL, lStl J
The money market to-day is more active and
seadier than yesterday. The applications made for
loans TO bridge over the first week OF January are
very numerous, but most borrowers are able TO sup
ply their wants at solo per cent, when backed by
acceptable security There is some demand for cur
rency for the West but the closeness at the banks Is
mainly due to preparations making for January
dividends.
The rates on call loans are very firm and fully
average per cent. on Governments and other sound
colaterals.
The Gold market is dull and again weak. The
pPening sales were made at l2l2s, but declining to
Governments are dull but quite steady. There
was supreme dullness at the Stock Board, and the
sales were unimportant though prices continue
steady. In State city bonds there were no sales
and sos b. o. Pennsylvania Railroad was du,l n
81. Sales OF Lehigh Valley Railroad at b2k 49ls was
