ErsAay SAINT 1Gc0 (

There is no quotable change In any of the main
features OF our local Money market to-day. The
speculative demand for loans on call has greatly in
creased within the past three days and as the sup
ply Of capital at the banks is short II the ordinary
business demand the pressure on the outside mar
ket has increased with It. There is general dissat-
tsfaCtion, however, umCn ng business burrowers with
the rates now demaldcd ior time lOans and dispo-
SltOn 10 postpone their transactions long pos
sible, in the hope Of a favorable change within the
coming week. Hence there has been less activity in
the discount market Tor the last few days. Money
IL 10 be had on call very readily at aS per cent at
the banks, the latter figure being manipulated in the
usual manner Discounts are firm and, as usual ir-
regular.
Gold opened at 1885,, an advance OF l.. on yester-
day closing quotations. and closing at noon firm
