stock collaterals. The banks are more disposed to
extend their line Of discounts for prime customers

were not so plentiful TO the government and other
large banking houses. The note brokers, as con-
sequence, report more currency for prime CONNER

STOCKS STEADY AND DULL.
The stock market opened quite buOyantly, but
suddenly betrayed considerable hesitation and irreg-
uarity, which were followed by decline OF quar-
ter to a half per cent at the morning call the
bears being rather less apparent than usual in the
