The money market was steady at five to six per
cent on governments and at six to seven on stocks
until toward the close Of banking hours, when the
shifting Of loans due to the fluctuations in Lake
Shore and Pacific Mail led to some activity and q
rather brisk demand at the full legal rate, some
accounts not being made up until after three O'clock
The government houses, however were fully accom-
modated al six per cent. The new notes just
printed by the Treasury Department have made their
appearance in circulation and will greatly facilitate
our local trade 1ull description OF the 10s, 2s

Lenders still prefer the employment OF their money
on call, and hence there Is little competition among

the discount is from ten to fifteen per cent Short
