Iftae-c has baaa any change in business since
LIST weeks report it has been rather for the
worse trade generally being more depressed,
snd transactions in al! branches have been con.
fined to the actual wants Of the community. In
other cities NO also note q complaint Of dulness
in business circles. The amount Of money in
SEXUAL circulation here is very small, and among
the retail trade and small deslers there is much
complaint Of the scarcity. At the Banks, how
ever, snd in money circles there is no dill
Guilty in Obtaining loans upon good security and
q. comparatively low rstea. IN Baltimore the
demand for money is only moderate. and too
supply is very liberal. The bs:! commercial
paper could be readily placed al 4 per c.n! il of
desirable amounts. Loans are quoted Ct 3:a5
per cert on accepted collateral. IN the New
York money market the ruling ra.s for Call
loans is pcr cent, with 2is4 per cent tho ez-
t.eme rates. Prime mercantile paper is quoted
at 3 to per cent. Trust loans sra unchanged.
The rates for moaey in the Phiisdslphia market
are 3a4 per cen! Cor loans sad 4ss5i for undoubt-
cd mercantile paper. Government bonds are
active and strong, the Only change in prices be-
ing an advance Of ia 5, CT 1871. Tho i per
