NOM HARDENING.
The money market stiGened this afternoon and
rates advanced from to per cent. This is due TO
preparations to meet the usual August dlsburse-
ments, aggravated, doubtless, by the expectation
OF an active demand from the importing houses.
Currency time loans are In demand and quoted at
7pcr cent, currency to per cent gold for the bal
ance Of the year, and per cent, gold, to January
Is. Time loans in gold are very active at u per
cent for thirty days. to Ia per cent for sixty days.
IL to ~ per cent for ninety days and per cent to
November l. For the balance OF the year per cent
is bid without business.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
is also affected by the prospect Of the August Gus
toms business and the large amount of goods then
to be marketed. The demand hence has been
light for the past few days, and rates nominal, but
with the resumption OF remittances business is
likely TO increase. The pressure OF borrowed bills
is still observable in keeping rates down.
