II viii be noticed that the shipment by the steamer
Missouri for Havana, was only S4S,240 instead OF
$780, 900, as reported. This was clerical error,
which was discovered this morning at the Custom
House.
Foreign exchange was weak, and, after the
steamer dull. The prime bankers still continued to
differ In their rates by an eighth per cent, so that
prime sterling was quoted at both ITO 11OH, ac-
cording to the particular house, For sight the rate
was 110K 110x.
Money was easy, with perhaps shade more Of
activity than yesterday. The medium rate was six
per cent on CALI but where the collateras were
prime or miscellaneous the exceptions were at five
or seven respectively.
There was more currency for commercial paper,
but for four months acceptances there was no
change in rates, which ranged from eight to twelve
per cent. Bankers sixty day notes were quoted at
seven to eight per cent discount.
Che market for government bonds was steady and
strong, despite lower quotation for' 1925 In Lon
don, which came Sax to-day. One report had 1t
that the Prussian government was putting a new
loan on the Frankfort market, London sympathizng
with the decline Of bonds In the German city. 1t
was also intimated that the foreign houses having
agents here were weakening the foreign markets in
order to assist their agents who 'long' OF gold.
The fluctuations were light despite these influences,
and ranged from an eighth to threeelghths per
cent, the advance IN gold correcting the weakness.
Ehe speculation ran particularly upon the ten-forty
coupons owing to the better demand for them arising
out Of the supposed request there will be for them
IN the process Of changing national bank securities
ht Washington. The private investment demand
was also largely directed to the currency sixes The
market closed with the following street quota

In Southern securities there was an active demand
Tor the North Carolnas which rose to 5S& as the
continued sequence Of the recent judicial decision,
well as through feeling that the State would now
be able to pay Its interest. The Tennessees were
strong aud steady. The Louisiana skies were in re-
quest on foreign account, these bonds having been
favorite investment with the Paris bankers before
the war and now recovering their old prestige.
South Carollnas were dun and heavy the recent loan
pf the state credit for nine millions to the Blue Ridge
Railroad not being favoraby regarded. The follow
