| The New York EUeniIg Post of the 18th says:
In the money market the supply seeking employ
ment on call is ample for the demand and rates on
this class Of loans range from i've to seven per cent
! with six per cent as the ruling rate. We hear Of
| loans to-day on government bonds for ninety days
! at the Legal rate. The currency shipments TO The
| South and Southwest are somewhat restricted by
| the scarcity of small notes, which still command I
! premium In this market. There IL rather more de
| mand for strictly frst-elass paper at rates last
| quoted. This demand comes almost entirely from
private buyers (who discriminate closely in their
purchased, neither the country nor the city banks
being in condition to more than accommodate thelr
regular customers. The money markets in the
neighboring cities continue stringent. The reports
which were current yesterday evening and this
| morning OF a panic in Boston are probably traee-
able to the sharp decline in the Boston, Hartford
| and Erie stock in that market; We are unable to
learn that there any indications OF trouble ther
is naturally attendant on stringent money mar
