Friday, Jan. Z, 1870
Judging by the freer action OF the
banks in the matter OF discounts the turning
point OF the currency market has been reached and
appearances generally indicate easier rates for all
classes OF loans early in the coming week. The
wants OF depositors are supplied at the banks on
limited amounts at the usual rates, but in the out
side matket the very best mercantile paper passes at
10 per cent. or over, according to the pressure
absorbing considerable loose funds, and as prices
are somewhat inflated, it will take more money to
carry them, and this feature will continue to affect
the business in call loans. The rates are 6l97 per
cent, the latter on the street.
GOLD is again strong, opening at 121 Il, advancing
as high as 121, and closing strong at noon at 12l a.

vanced.
