Money hunting is the order of the day this
morning, owing to the payments falling due
tomorrow; but 1t is extremely easy at the usual
sources, and accessible to all provided with the
proper credentials. There is a remarkable dull
ness In general trade circles, which restricts the
demand for time loans within narrow limits. and
favors such as are in need at this period. The
current rate this morning on the street is per
cent. Tor first class acceptances which is fully
3per cent. lower than the same time last year.
Call loans are somewhat active, owing to the
speculative feeling at the Stock Board, but the
rate is easy at per cent. on choice collaterals.
The Gold market is extremely quiet but the
premium is steady with a slight upward ten
dency. The range up to noon is 112160112.
Government bonds are in active request and
prices, compared with closing sales last night,
show another advance varying from H@s4 per
cent.
There was fair business at the Stock Board,
and prices were generally stronger. In State
and city bonds there were no sales reported.

but closing at 1894; Pennsylvania Railroad was
steady, with sales at 56IS057; Camden and
Amboy Railroad changed hands at III; Lehigh
