NEW YORK June IA Money was somewhat un-
easy Business On call ranged from psr cent eurl
rencyup to gold interest up to O'clock but after
that hour Money was loaned at per cent. gold In
terest with exceptional transactions TO needy bor-
rowers at :16 @ per cent. Currency is still going

the present condition of affairs to locking it up in
percantile paper. The Foreign Exchange market

feeling entertained on the Gold question bv those
bankers lead to the superstition that sales were large
y for short account aud this probably partial
explanation OF transactions. Rates paid carrying
ments firm. There were considerable orders to buy
in market tor foreign account, but the comparatively
light Offering checked business. Henry Cloves q Co.
