London prices, but subsequently declined.
Western Union, St. Paul, Wabash. and
Ohios all fell of; st. Josephs declined to 3S.
Money continues very scarce, loaning from
1-13nl-16c per day. This scarcity in the
currency is causing much uneasiness in re-
| gard to the banks which are in an unfaYor-
able condition, having little or no surplus
reserve over the amount required by law,
and for the next six weeks the drain on them
will probably be heavy, as is generally the
| case at this time of the year. State bonds
are dull; Tennessees lower.
