The money market continues TO work
about the same as during the past week or
ten days. No difficulty Is experienced IN
placing good paper at tae rates quoted. and
in fact, the tendency is rather more toward
inside figures. Most of the banks are
amply supplied with funds available for tho
wants OF their customers. very few if any OF
whom find it necessary 10 offer their paper
outside. The street rates may still be
quoted ut l0Ul2 y cent y annuin for Al

sSnc Price Current comments thus:

4 Massachusetts court has decided that :,
railroad ticket is good until used This is
good law. The railroad company. as a COM
mon carrier, is bound to perform the service
for which it receives tie money. II can not
impose conditions which relieve il from its
public contract. The same effort has been
made by common carriers to relieve them
selves from responsibility for baggage and
other freight, but the courts have always
held them to the old common law doctrine,
that having undertaken the duties Of a
common carrier, they become responsible
for the safe and speedy transportation and
delivery of all persons and commodities
committed to them. The public having
given a monopoly reflect to the railroads.
E,ust insist upon their performing their con-
sS3ctS.
