MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

Business is exceptionally dull even for this
season Of the year, and We do not remember
ever to have heard the cry of dull times" more
distinctly than now. Ali branches of trade ara
alike affected, and the prospect for better tmeg
is by no means brilliant. The stsgnation in bus.
ness, OF course, makes money very scarce on the
streets, but in money circles" there seems to
BIO On abundance. In Baltimore the supply is
quoted as largely in excess Of the demand, bu.
lenders accept only undoubted nsmea. The
quotations are 4a5 per cent for loans, and 4!aG
for primo commercial paper, with an occasional
transaction at triae less. In New York money
is plentiful, and the mako. extremely easy fo.
borrowers; call loans 8! the Stock Exchange .,
q per cent on ordinary collateral, and 1a1i pc.
cent on u s. bonds; prime mercantile paper i:
3a4 per cent. The rates for gold are little
frmer, ruling. Government bonds are strong
and active, there being slight advance o..
nearly all the issues. State securities are some.
