The Boston Post Of this morning says:-
The Boston banks are keeping their regular cus-
toners along rs comfortably as possible under the
circumstances now prevailing, TX per cent being the
general rate of discount for three and TOUR months
paper except in cases where applicants very good
depost0rs when, II seven Is suggesed about right
no objection Is made by bank managers. That rates
for money are rather hardening In the outside mar.
ket seems TO be beyond dispute, or at any rate we
are not disposed to contradict It, taking into con-
sideratiOn the TACT that the banks daily refusing
notes which are considered good and which are
offered at 10 ~ per cent per annum discount. Very
little paper Is taken by Individual lenders at less
than ten per cent, although some very choice names
those WHO VIII only purchase what they believe they
are thoroughly posted on. Strictly call loans on gov.
ernmeuts, SIX per cent.
The Chicago Tribune, under date Of Monday eve
ming, refers TO the money and grain markets as fol-
lows
The week begins with somewhat more uruen,
demand from the gram dealers for funds to carry
grain IN tins MARKET as the shipping movement has
been checked by the unlavorabie condition OF the
Eastern markets. This is partly the result Of the
stringent condition OF the New York money market
Tor a week or two past O condition which may be
considerably aggravated by the present state Of
grain moved actively from the West to
the Eastern consumer, there was no dan
ger OF any serious stringency here though
If the present tendency OF grain to
accumulate here continues tighter money market
viii soon be the result AS yet the only quarters
where anv pressure Tor money is felt at tine banks
whose customers are principally grain dealers. At
other banks money is comparatively easy. Their
customers, principally merchants, are beginning to
realize lutte from their collections In the country
and these help to neutralize to some extent the gen.
cral tendency to strngency.
The flow OF currency to the country continues
though the volume is less than the average OF last
week or the week previous. Some OF the banks say
that they have already ordered from New YORK and
shipped To the country as much the whole of their
average amount during any fall for the past two
years, IN winch case 1t would seem that the neces-
sty OF ordering currency from the East to supply
the country would now soon begin to disappear.
Exchange was nTmer, owing 10 the diminished
supply OF gram anu produce bills on the market.
Sales were made between banks to-day at 1-l0 off,
but 1t could not have been bought better than rs
cents per $1,000 on at the close Of business.
There was large attendance on 'Change to-day
but d very dull set of markets and decided drop
al around IN the leading grain products. The pauic
In gold In New York has had the effect OF drawing
oil Shipping orders RON this market, pending the
pecuniary strngency there and the receipts of grain
to-day being liberal made all sellers ana no buyers
eNceDt as Rrdln was taken hold OF by a lew in q
speculative way, in hopes OF speedy reaction. The
numDer oil these was also limited by the increased
tenaci'y with which owners OF money hod on TO It,
