MONEY FOUR PER CENT.
The earlier quotation for money was a s per
cent, but the dealings at per cent were rather
exceptional than otherwise The principal busi-
ness OF the day was at per cent, with, toward the
close of banking hours, pressure to lend at that
rate and q considerable amount OF business at
per cent. The quotation after halfpast two O'Clock
was fairly modified to a per cent. Prime paper
Is noticeaby easier IN tone, but still quoted IN
9per cent. Foreign exchange closed heavy on the
basis 1857 for prime bankers sixty day sterling
and 1898 for sight bills.
THE LONDON MARKET
was reported as quiet and firm for British and
American securities, the latter being a fraction
lower, say an eighth per cent. The settlements In
Erie were made without trouble the stock closing
at A. equivalent to about 50A in this market. The
directors OF the Bank Of England did nothing at

minimum of which remains unaltered at az per

gain. The new French loan has advanced to o
premium Of Az per cent.
GOLD 112X A 1875.
The gold market was less active and both sides
of the speculation seemed disposed to rest and
