MONEY MORE ACTIVE .4
There was better inquiry for money, and the
rate on call averaged fully per cent. The earlier
dealings were at 4 per cent, succeeding which the
rate hardened to per cent, and the quotation be-
coming S az per cent, good many loans were
made at as high as per cent. Eventually the deal
ngs closed at per cent, being offered on the
same terms. The Chicago papers report more
active demand for money in that city, and pre-
dict
POSSIBLE sTRINGENCY
at an early day. The rates of domestic exchange
are not such as TO warrant any heavy shipments
from this city as yet, and the country banks are
drawing only for small amounts TO meet current
needs. Foreign exchange was quiet and steady on
The basis of los 1OsH for prime bankers sixty
day sterling and 109 109h for sight sterling. The
Bank of Prussia is reported to have advanced the
discount rate from to per cent. This action will
probably be responded to by the Bank OF England
on Thursday.
GOLD sTRoNG-113S A 1l3A.
The gold market was strong on heavy purchases
by the clique, who were in early possession of quo
!ations from London, showing decline in our
securities in that market the result 1t is supposed
Of decline on the Continent occasioned In by
The action OF the Bank OF Prussia. For time the
drmer tone OF the premium was ascIibed to the
rumOred demand of Russia for the abrogatlon OF
mat oft-mooted international peace disturbing doc
ament the
TREATY OF PARIS;
but whether this matter affected gold or not the
denial of the story later in the day from authori
sative source failed to weaken the market. AS for
The effort Of one party In the clique to punish the
other who had gone over to the enemy, little
sgn OF hostility was seen, except that
toward the close cash gold was made
worth 1-32 for the days use, while 1-64
was bid for its use tomorrow. Indeed, 1t
probable that the detection referred to was in
Ihe stock market only, and in Erie particularly,
The deserters merely selling out their gold, without
placing themselves short OF the market and con-
lining their "bear" operations to stocks. AS 1t
was, gold advanced from 11S,s to 11S%, and closed
1t 1l31. The Sub-Treasury paid ont $4,000 on ac-
count of interest and $4,000 account ofredeemed
ave-twentles. The course Of the market Is shown
