FINANCE AND COMMERCE..
EVENING TELEGRAPH OFFIoE, I
Gatneday MauT 1910


The money market still retains NIL the easy
features which have characterized it during the
entire week. In fact, it may be safely asserted
that it has been daily growing in dullness and
corresponding ease from day to day. The
balances both at the banks and in priv ate hands
were rarely ever known to be 80 large at this ad-
vanced season as at present, and as all fears of
pressure for the time have passed, lenders find
1t convenient to advance on almost any terms
they can obtain; but even this profuse liberality
fails to tempt borrowers, and the week will un-
doubtedly close on very quiet and dull loan
market.
The rates are without change, $685. per cent
being the range of demand loans, and 6GD7 per
cent. for choice mercantile paper.
Gold is again strong and the premium ad-
vanced, opening at lis, advancing to 1l511S, and
closing at noon at 1141s.
Government bonds are dull but stronger.
At the Stock Board the business was light,
but prices were steady Sales of City Skies at
1917 for the old, and at 1925 for the new
bonds. Lehigh Gold Loan changed hands at 90.
Reading Railroad was dull; sales at 5l'44O
511%, b. o.. Pennsylvania sold at 563a; Lehigh
Valley at 561S@5614, and Camden and Amboy
at 1909.
The balance of the list was neglected. Small
sales of Bank of North America at 22S.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Nearly all the mem
bers of Congress are out of town to-day, on ex-
cursions of various sorts. A large number have
gone to Richmond, Norfolk, and other points of
interest in Virginia.
General Butler
writes that he will be here early next week.
when q meeting of the Reconstruction Com
mittee will be held to consider the Georgia bill
Butler will report 1t as early as possible 1t is
thought the committee will reject the Senate
bill and report the original House bill as a sub
stitute, with what is known as the Williams
amendment.
The Revenue Reduction.
The Secretary of the Treasury is of the opin-
ion that the amount to which the Senate Finance
Committee propose to reduce the internal reve-
nue. taxation is too great, and that with the pro-
posed reduction in the revenue from import
duties falling off, it will cripple the revenues of
the Government. The thirty million reduction
proposed by the Ways and Means Committee
with twenty-three million reduction on tariff is
as much, Boutwell, thinks, as his exchequer can
stand at present. The Senate proposes to cut
off of the internal revenue seme forty-seven
millions.
Civil Service Bill.
Mr.. Jenckes calculates that he will get about
fifty votes in the House for his Civil Service bill
The vote against laying it on the table last
Thursday was not true indication of its
strength, as members preferred to let him have
a fair show in debate before killing his bill. II
will be defeated by large majority
