We mentioned the other day the fact that
so great Is the glut OF money In London that
prime three months bills are discounted at
the rate Of = OF per cent per annum. In
this country there Is @ vast amount OF money
uninvested. and rates are unprecedentedly
low, and are likely to continue SO for some
time to come. AS the Boston Post says,
abundance and ease" Is the story
with banks and individual capitalists
in the great financial centres. The
State 81 Pennsylvania has recently marketed
per cent loan at 81 premium, and the
same is now selling at alla04 per cent pre-
MUM. The State Of Connecticut and the city
Of Philadelphia are agitating the question of
funding their debt into a per cent bond.
Some Of the Newark, N. u, savings banks
have adopted per cent as their standard rate
Of interest, and this example has been follow
ed by the oldest savings bank in Lowell,
Mass. the Lowell Institution for Savings
and also by the old Utica Savings Bank of
New York State. These are financial straws

notes and fractional silver coin outstanding
ut the close Of each year from 1869 to 1879

that, with the exception of two years. the
purchasing power OF the money In oircula-

exceptions are between the years 1868 and
1869, when the value fell from 500 100000 In
the former to $5G5,OO0,O00 La the latter. and
between the years 1876 and 1876, when the

Six months OF the twelve have now passed.

speaking. extremely easy, but this arises
from the absence OF anything like . real in
