THE MONEY MARKET
Perhaps the best key to the present tone OF busi
ness In stocks is the condition OF the money mar
ket and the eagerness with which it is sought to
place loans at such low rates as and per cent
II there were sufficient capital at work give legit
innate impetus TO securities, and TO transfer specu
latiOn from the broker to the customer the street
would not feel to-day that the pending influences
are purely artificial 1t is estimated by those who
are enough interested to collect statistics and base
calculations thereon that, as compared with other
seasons, the present shows q deficiency of about
ten millions of working capital fact SO potent
as this naturally has the effect of circumscribing
the field OF money and forcing banks and
brokers alike to make the largest concessions in
order to secure business. Hence 1t Is that the quo
tations to-day on call loans continue to range from
3 to per cent, with exceptional transactions rs
low az per cent. Foreign exchange maintains the

GOLD FIRM
II Ii q significant fact that during the past week
the shipment OF gold has reached the unusually
nigh figure OF nearly three millions and ha,f of
dollars. 1t has been sought TO show that this ship
ment IL artificial The best refutation of the state
ment 10 that next week Will record a similarly
large outflow. much Of which has been already en-
gagged. England has confessed herself bare OF gold
Germany is coming ali she can get and France is
comparatively denuded. In other words, our
price OF exchange makes it profitable to ship and
our specie is wanted on the other side. That
which stays behind to represent our national faith
IL 'prnted paper''-promises to pay, bits OF scrip
that are good only within our national boundary

worth, and crusted all over with the signs Of ma
tonal and seemingly irredeemable debt. The Gus.
tom House was-perhaps innocenty-guilty in its
report to-day Of the specie export. The
total amount should be 81, 706 900 for
the day. II there should appear any de-
