MONEY UNSETTLED
The money market was stringent with the rates
on call ranging from per cent to 1-16 until about
twenty minutes before three O'Clock, when the sup
ply suddenly became so much superior to the de-
mand that the rate fell to per cent before the
banks closed, and money could have been had at 8
per cent Dy any borrowers who had chosen to wait
to the last minute. The extremes Of the day were
1l6 per cent at nafpast two O'Clock and per cent
at quarter past three O'Clock.
Prime paper was quoted at to IL per cent dis
count.

bankers reduced sterling rates H per cent, while
