The quotation at Ave O'Clock was 1387S 1895.
Money was In good demand, but was to be had In
abundance at seven per cent on cali loans OF mis-
ceuaneous collaterals. To government houses and
Favored customers the rate was six on prime secur
ties. Money is coming more freely from the West,
the check to remittances noticed last week having
passed. Between Chicago and New York there was
an inclination the part Of the exchanges to turn
4 favor or the former city, the shipments from the
anterior OF the Northwest suddenly calling for funds
from the banks there This demand was quite light
being PROBABLY the payment required for winter pro-
tiuce or remnants OF the fall crops, and was soon
satisfied. The banks report that our merchants are
making their Western collections with more facility,
debtors being apparently better prepared to pay up
Commercial paper was unchanged in rates or guam
tity OF business.
The government bond market presented no new
features to-day beyond slight Improvement in the
investment demand and some activity In the gold
bearing issues. Some bond jobbing dispatches have
been received from Washington anecting this class
OF securities. The interest Of operators has been
generally transferred to the stock market, although
heavy short interest is apparent In the brisk bor
rowing Of bonds and the continued depression in the
'67s. The market closed with better tone with the
