Notwithstanding the activity in speculative
circles and the advance in the price OF stocks
and other investments, the money market is ex-
ceedingly dull, the general apathy In trade
making 1t difficult to employ the large balances
on hand at the banks at anything like remune-
rative rates.
Money is freely offered both to brokers and
business men at per cent, subject to demand
with good collateral securities, and at 5@6 per
cent. on commercial paper. Discount loans are
more in favor with the banks than loans on CALL
because Just now they are more profitable, but
there is very little doing in this line.

MUM is nearly steady at 112H; single tiuctua-
