NEW YORK, February l0.-The P.sf's fnan-
clal article says:-Gold opened at 1l2 r., sold at
IL, and has since sold at 1l2 any. On gold
loans the rates have been A. 10 2 for carving.
Foreign exchange is again strong, prime bank
ers having marked their rates up to 4SIx, with
business plump up to 49,, and for demand bills
local money market call loans ranged from 3 to
o, stock brokers loans having been rather,firm-
er than yesterday, and mostly at sac, insteai,
as OF late, la5 which is explained by the in
creased activity and advance in prices at
the Stock Exchange. The ruling rate FOR
prime mercantile paper is OK, the quotation
ping 9a.: Prime gold paper, endorsed, passes at
., ana single names at Gao. Time loans to
stock brokers are quoted as follows:-3O to 60
days, ,; and Sal months, 5Xa6 All
OF which is evidence of the belief that We are
to have this year low rates for money. Gov
eminent bonds are a !, higher than yesterday,
with the market strong. Southern state bonds
wee nrm, with business small. In the stock
market the demand is undated for such shares
as Delaware, LackawaRa and Western, Chr
cago aud Alton, Illinois Gem New Iersav
central, Burlington and Quincy, Harlem,
NotthSest preferred, st. Paul preferred and
otner stocks which pay or promise in the early
future to pay dividends. The market for what
are more particularly known as speculative
shares, not that some of those named are not
dealt in for speculative purposes, was strong ar
opening, declined at the first board, and has
since been in the main strong.
