| There was slight increase in the demand for
Money at some of the principa banks to-day, but
the market continued easy. We hear that round
| amounts have recently been loaned by some Of
the banks at 6 to y cent, mostly on cal.
moderate movement was reported in Gold
| and Foreign Exchange at about Saturdays quo
tations. New York sight was again in good de-
inand, and ruled at 1. further advance. We hear
Of rather more demand from interior towns
1t is stated also that some Of the banks have
| been buying sight freely with the view Of in
| creasing their deposits at New York.
| In Stocks and Securities the movement was of
fair extent, but transactions showed slight de-
| cline in both City and state Bonds.
We call attention to the notice Of the Admin
strator Of Finance. that the tax bills for 1876
are now ready, and that a rebate of q y cent.
will be allowed upon all bills paid .up to the Goth
inst inclusive r; 2 ID cent. upon those pal up to
| the 29th inclusive, and n cent. upon payments
during March after which interest at 10 u cent.
| per annnm and costs Will accrue.
The order recently granted by Judge Woods in
| the Maenhaut case requires the city to pay the
| coupons of only the parties to the suit. But we
learn that the Council being unwilling to bject
others to unnecessary litigation, has determined
to pay interest on Consolidated Bonds SO far as
the moneys on hand belonging to that fund will
gO-say up to and including December.
In accordance with resolution recently adopt
ed, the members OF the Stock Exchange com
menced today to report to the Exchange their
sales made outside. The official report, for
which we are indebted to the Secretary, Mr..
Brinsmade, comprises, therefore, not Only the
transactions at the Exchange, but those also in
the open market. To make this measure success
full it is essential that members shall be punctual
in reporting all their operations in securities.
We hone Il will meet with such general and
earnest support that it will materially increase
the advantages OF the organization, not only to
its members, but to all others outside who are
concerned in the movement in Stocks and Bonds.
We continue to quote exceptional paper at "a
d cent per annum discount, Al do at 90el0, and
second grade nominal. First class mortgages
rule at 909lO u cent per annum, while second
grade continues entirely nominal.
