The Money market exhibits scarcely any
variation, except slight increase in the offer
zngs at the banks and on the street. Com
mercial paper is readily placed at our quota
ions, and occasionally a. less, but we repeat
our previous figures as follows: First-class and
collateral loans for 60 days at S(19 ~ cent
per annum AL do at 1O@l2 and second
grade at l5@918. The few transactions in
mortgages are in irst-class at SOTO ~ cent
per annum. Other grades are apparently
without any movement

and $4,000 at 1145, and $4,000 at lis.
The Silver market continues without any
apparent movement, and if it were not for oc-
'caslonal trIhlng sales at retail and shipments
to New York for sale, it might be called en-
drely lifeless. American half dollars are
still quoted at 107@1O79, while Mexican dol
lars now rule at 81 gold against 96lC997 yes
oerday, owing to the stiffness in domestic ex-
change.
Owing to the decline in gold and bills at
New York, Sterling opened 2-1O - cent
higher for both commercial and bank but

The slight decline in francs at New York
and the fluctuations in gold were apparently
without effect on the market, nothing tran
