The Boston bank statements or the past two weeks

Upon which the Post of that city remarks:-
When the individual deposits OF the Boston banks
fall of nearly TWO millions week 1t shows plainly
that there mas been o sharp demand for money.
When the country banks draw down their balances
$072,221, 1t seems TO signify that they have many
calls over and above those made on account OF the
payment OF the semi-annual DIVIDENDS, which OF
course form as usual very respectable Item. There
Is no very serious embarrassment reported in legti
mate business circles on account Of the scarcity OF
money, and yet the available supply at the banks ia
hardly up to the demand. Some Of the best manu-
featuring corporations are taking considerable
money at IA a per cent, and smaller establish
ments at a 10 per cent. Good double name paper
is still offered on the street at 10 a H. Between
banks ana depositors the rates are per cent.
The Chicago Tribune under date of Monday even
ing, says:-
The banks to-day generally report less demand for
money. There is none OF that pressure for loans that
was experienced on one or two days Of last week.
Deposits, however, are down to an unusually low
ebb and II the demand for accommodations were
as great us on some days OF last week. the banks
would not be any better prepared to meet 1t now
tnan then There il fair prospect that money will
gradually grow easier, ana even some probability
Thai II Will be quite plenty month hence; but az
