with money at four per cent but paid i've per cent

uniformly four per cent.

GOVERNMENTS STRONG AND HIGHER
The government bond market was again str0rg
and active with further sharp rise In prices. The
demand comes from savings banks and capitalists
seeking a temporary investment for money at rates
better than Afforded In the open money market, the
buying being more confident In view OF the pros

GOLD STRONG AND sTEADY-1llA A 111M.
The Gold MARKET curlously enough, has been af.
fected in contrary manner to what might have
been anticipated as result OF the negotiations now
pending for settlement OF the questions in dispute
between this country and Great Britain. On the one
hand the impression exists that England is disem.
barrassing herself Of the Alabama claims matter
only as preparation for a war with Russia On the
other hand the rise In the domestic prices ourgoy
ernment securities not only preclude their shipment
to Europe but invites the ieturn OF bonds from
abroad. Hence the gold market becomes stronger,
although the advance to-day was not material. The
only quotations were 1112l o l1l5s. The uncovered
short interest Is yet large judging from the rates In
the loan market. The changes In the price to-day
