new loans were at 1-16 per diem, but
later the price Of money rapidly ad-
vanoed, and before O'Clock, "a per
cent. and interest was paid; or, in
palmer terms: 1S9H per cent. per an-
mum. After that time, "a per cent. was
paid, and before O'Clock, loans were
made at ! per cent, or 365 per cent. per
annum. Banks were calling in loans to-
day, and one institution banking for the
CITY called in large amount, which was
one great reason Of the stringency. Ex-
change was completely demoralized by
the advance in gold and the money
stringency-prime bankers sold at 7166,
