The above statement exhibits moderate fall
ing off in currency and loans and fair increase
in deposits, attributed in some degree to trade
! having been stimulated by the influx of Mardi
Gras visitors.
| We have no new features to notice in the Money
| market. The offerings continued limited both in
bank and on the street, and the rates OF CONNER
cial paper easy. In sympathy with the decline at
New Yort, Gold fell off moderately, and the
| movement was moderate. A fair business was
done in Foreign Exchange, which was without
quotable variation.
| Under less liberal offerings and more ectiye
| demand, commercial sight on New York advanced
to yesterdays outside quotations, while the bank
checking rate remained unchanged.
We have no new feature to notice in Stocks, ex-
cept that buyers appeared somewhat reluctant to
go on at the recent advance, which is calculated
to restrict operations.
State Consols were apparently not as strong,
but were without quotable variation. A fair bust
ness was done in City Premium issues. at slightly
lower rates, at which the market closed quiet.
The Money market is unchanged, ana we con-
inue to quote exceptional commercial paper at
-@8 % cent per annum discount, Al do at 90
10, and second grade nominal. First class mort
gage paper rules at 90l0 y cent per annum,
second grade continues entirely nominal.
