The break in prices has become more

in the market to-day. The Pacific mills
have reduced the price OF their goods TO
I215c and the goods are selling rapidly,

found Il level and trade is about start
ing in right earnest. Printing cloths

MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoNEY-~Market stringent up to 2
O'Clock, and Z per cent gold interest
freely paid by brokers, but subsequent
lv the demand abAted somewhat, ana
loans were msde at 7 per cent curl lency.
The large amount of bonds i'll the
hands OF foreign bankers, which have
to be carried, pending the sale OF the
exchange against the increased de-
mand for money, and adds to mome-
tary distress. Those bankers who are
generally lenders are now borrowers.
There is no currency coming this way,
and the country bank balances here
are unusually light, and i'll the event
of any extra accommodations being
required hy country banks to bridge
over settling day, Wall street would
have to pass through severe ordeal,
though the stringency might not De so
severe as last March and April. There
are no positive indications OF lookup,
but should Il resort he had to such
measure it would greatly aggrovate
matters. Discount dull.
