In the absence of any pressure for loans the
local money market continues without material
change of feature, but the supply being only
moderate, rates are steady at former quotations.
The supply of strictly frst-class paper is very
light for the season, which is usually one of re-
maTkable business activity, and there is good
demand for it both Mt the banks and discount
houses. The activity at the Stock Board keeps
growing preference for good paper owing to the
absence of pressure on the market. We quote
call loans at 56D6 per cent and discounts at 6d)7
indications are all in favor of continued ease in
the market.

bearing on the case
Judge Davis said he supposed the prosecution
could not object to the reading OF the letters which
the prisoner had plundered from the trunk of his
wife, and which the defense seemed to think sup
ported some theory of theirs.

wooen dealer; he knew Mcfarland did not regard

that he had not had good nights sleep in six
weeks, and wished he was dead.
