MONEY UNsETTiED.
The money market was easy during the earlier
portion OF the day and some OF the better houses
were able to supply themselves at per cent. But
after two O'Clock the inquiry became active and
loans were made at p,r cent gold. Mercantile
paper was easier aud transactions were reported
at 10 Il. per cent in prime names. Foreign ex-
change was steady and firm rates remaining as
last quoted.
STOCKS IRREGULAR AND DULL.
no m ut was dull M Ia Do ifc Mail
and Lake Shore, which were active and alternately
strong and weak. The pool in Pacific Mail endeav-
Ored to buy back their stock after running the
quotation down to S41s, but found SO little offered
them during their bids up to S5S that they marked
the price down again and intend to take fresh
start next week. The Lake Shore pool ran their
speciality up to 95K and then sold for "a turn"
the price receding to 94h. Union Pacific
advanced from 37ss to 3s7s but fell back to 37h.
Rock Island on q light business advanced to 111zS,
nut fell back to 111ss. Northwestern underwent
brief spasm of activity and rose to s6ia, but the
laundry being too perceptible nothing more was
done. The general market was lower after the
bank statement, which seemed signal for realiza-
tion. There is also a relic OF excessive caution
left from the memory Of
THE 'BosTON PANIC"
which induces a great many operators to market
their stocks Saturday and go home without liabi
ity to the chances of the interval to Monday morn
ing. Not long ago the "bears" used to cover up
every saturday night, through fear Of repetition
OF Vanderbilt's stock dividend; but now the
'bulls sell out their "lOng" stock Saturday night
and go home empty handed At the close rumor
prevailed that the government had called on the
Fourth National Bank and Bank OF Commerce for the
special deposits lying with them, although WASH
ingron despatch was construed to deny this re-
port. The members Of the Stock Exchange sub
scrlbed $4,000 to-day for the family OF the late E.
O. Fronk who died destitute.
The Southern State bonds were quiet and gene
rally steady.
The London market was steady and the only
change was in ten-forties, which were higher, and
Eries, which were lower.
HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.
