FINANCIAL Il COMMERCIAL,

There is little change to note in business mat
tiers during the past week, the continued bad
condition of the roads prevents the marketing of
farm products to great extent. The receipt o,
hogs has been rather small
In money matters there is no material change
10 note. The market, under fair demand, seems
to be working little closer. The banks gcner.
ally accommodate their regular customers al
the usual rates.
In Chicago the market is reported as healthy
and active; the demand is good, and interest
rates firm at from . to 10 per ccnt-according to
the class Of borrowers
Gold has continued firm and steady during the
past week, the premium ranging from ll?2i TO
1855, and closing in New York at ll25S.
Government Bonds in sympathy with gold, and
under good investment demand, have remained
firm, and prices advanced a trihc.

Ottawa quotations.:
