The exhibit of the city banks on Monday
evening augurs well for the speedy return of
the market to an easy condition. There has
been q substantial Improvement in deposits,
specie, and legal-tenders, and the loans have
also expanded, and as the disbursements now
going on in every direction, letting loose a large
amount of capital hitherto locked up, shall find
their way into the banks, there can be no doubt
that the loan market, in another week or ten
days, Will rule exceptionally easy. A very
active speculative demand, however, is likely
to follow if rates should fall as they must and
this will serve to steady the market. Money is
being freely offered both on call and time con-
tracts, and rates are hardly so strong, though
not materially changed.
Gold is quiet and very steady, all the soles
ranging from 1l0} 4@1l0gI, opening and closing
at 1903.
Government bonds are in good demand and
prices are fraction higher. The Treasury is a
