The New York Post of the afternoon of
the 30th ult., Gays:
a fair demand for money il reported
aud the larger number Of borrowers on call |
pay seven per cent; the leading dealers in |
governments, however, are accommodated |
at six. The market for commercial paper /
is without notable change, either in the |
volume of business or in rates.
Government bonds are steady. The
continued inquiry for registered issues
shows healthy demand from investors.
The small amount Of bonds held by the
banks is attracting attention, and warrants
the belief that these institutions will come
in the market as purchasers at no distant
day, particularly as there are indications
that Congress will at this season close all
gold bearing loans. 1t appears by the last
quarterly statement that all the national
banks in the country hold only thirLy-four
millions, which is an average of about
twenty-one thousand dollars for each bank.
Border State bonds at the first board we're
extremely dull, small transaction in new
Tennessee having been the only recorded
Iale. Southern State securities were also
neglected. The business in railroad bonds
md bank shares was noticeably small" g
The statement of the New York banks is q
