The leading money markets of the
eastern seaboard are in an unsettled
and stringent condition, with dis
counts close at 6 per cent in New
York, and in some cases slightly
higher. There would be no lack Of
money in New York but for the tow.
ering speculation which has prevailed
there for some weeks past, and which
employs a vast sum at high interest
rates. The weekly statement of the
banks OF that city, to be made public
to-day. tits to be hoped will not sur
prise the lnanciers Of he country asdid
the statement Of last week. That one
showed a decrease of specie during the
previous week of s5,632,30O despite
the fact that large additions we're e
ceived from Europe. In commenting
on the monetary situation, the Tribune
of Monday said in its comments on the
situation: last week sale Of stocks
amounted to 1902, SOC, 900 in market
value, and the week before to Sl85,
100000. The exchanges last week
were again the largest ever known,
amounting to 81, l55, 1884, 683. In grain,
too, there has been an advance, since
early IN November, OF 6 cents a bushol
for wheat. 4 cents for corn, and 81
cents for oats, and the sales last week
were .1O,05l,O00 bushels wheat, and
1888, 600 bushels all grain. The sales
of cotton, also. amounted 20 l,ll8,9OO
bales, worth $65, 800, 900. In all these
and other speculative operations enor-
nous sums are employed, and the
plain truth is that they have absorbed
more money than New has to spare.
When We turn to other cities, we find
everywhere active business, and vast
transactions, which employ all the
money on hand at rates higher than
New. York can afford TO pay. The
people who have unemployed money
are the farmers and laborers, but they
see ct to keep it, and do not send it
to New York, Chicago or New Orleans.
The dealers in eastern cities are tax
ing large quantities Of products, at
prices which check exports, and when
they send orders for more, the west
and south reply, PAY for it, then "
But in order to pay. more money must
be had; prices must decline so far that
Europe will buy more, or speculation
must moderate so that less money shall
be tied up therein
The local money market is close,
but quiet, with discount rates steady
at s per cent. Eastern exchange is
to 60 discount buying and par sell
ing. On New Orleans rates are / dis
count buying and par selling.

WEATHER NOTES
From the Signal Service BulIe-
tins and Otherwise.

The sixth day of clear weather, this.
Plenty OF dust now ciFeulates upon
the breeze.
This time last week mud was a foot
thick everywhere, and in several
places, several feet.
The interior roadways are in good
order for hauling once again.
The keen frosty air In this morn.
ing's early hours benumbed wsyfarers'
fingers and toes severely.
If the present dry spell holds for a
respectable season, as the cold weather
is about to give place to more congo.
hiality, the u~ngathered cotton will be
rapidly saved, what there is left oft.
Corn, still on the stalks, will also be
housed.
1t is not often that so much and so
