OTHIcR OF THE EVENING TmsKaRAPH,ll
Thuraadav March n. 1870. (l


The revival of activity in the loan market
noticed yesterday Is still more marked to-day.
There is fair demand for capital from the
country, and as the banks are beginning to call
in loans preparatory to the usual drain upon
them for April borrowers are in better force In
the outside market than for many weeks past
The rates for all classes of loans are fully per
cent. higher than at the beginning of the week,
and no new loans on call can be effected at less
than per cent. Prime discounts are moderately
active at Gas per cent, being the usual figure
for frst-class business notes.
Gold opened at 112, and fuctuated between
that figure and 112A, closing at the latter at
noon.
Government bonds are quiet, and prices are
steady.
Dizziness reigns at the Stock Board, but prices
show little change. In State loans there were
sales of the coupon 5s at 96. City 6s were
steady, with sales of the new bonds at 102.
Reading Railroad was quiet, with very limited
sales at 1885. Pennsylvania Railroad was
rather weak, with sales ut 569a05616. Camden
and Amboy Railroad sold at 1l4;. Oil Creek and
Allegheny Railroad at 4215 b. o., and Lehigh
Valley Railroad at 551s.
Canal, Coal, and Passenger Railroad shares
were not sought after. Small sales of Girard
Bank at 60, and Mechanics at 31%.
