The money market this morning was
quiet and steady. with a little animation
in money circles. ABIDE from the regu-
lar routine of local checking and depos-
iting there was nothing doing. The
supply of currency is equal to the de-
mands of trade. The banks freely dis
count all unexceptionsble paper offering
at SOLO y cent. y annum; on the
streets money is in demand at 2@3 p
cent. y month for short loans. Bro
kers are paying lll@lll3 for gold, with
few transactions. Exchange is in light
supply, with a light demand at the follow.
ing rates: On New York and Eastern
points buying at par and selling at 4c
premium; New Orleans, fc discount buy
ing and selling at par. We have no
change to report in the scrip and bond
market. Securities of every description

however, they are studying what will be-
