We have no change to note in the Money
market, which continues quiet. A fair de-
mand for discounts from general sources is
reported at some of the principal banks. On
the street the demand for Money is chiefly
for agricultural purposes, but the offerings
of first-class paper are light There is scarcely
change. Stocks are stagnant; not transac-
ton is reported. There is little or no de-
mand for City Bonds and holders are indis-
posed to sell at present rates. New State
Consols are reported quiet and weak at pre-
vious quotations.
We continue to quote frst-class CONNER
cial paper and collateral loans at 8l99 % cent
per annum discount, AL do at 10@12, and
second grade at 15@l8. First-class mortgages
continue to rule at 500 7p cent per annum,
while second grade are entirely nominal
