The money market during last Week worked stead
ily toward case, the rate for cal loans dropping
from per cen. to la > per cent. This was antici-
pated and the bank returns for the week confirm
the correctness of our prediction made early III De
ccubcr. that it was erroneous 10 base calculations
mon the money market carly in 1881 by the cXpe-
rcncc of $50 For the corresponding week Of 1880,
which ended January 10. instead Of the Sih the
bank returns showed an increase of specie of only
1886, 100 aud q loss of $633, 800 in Legal tenders
showing that the interior demand FOR funds now is
much smaller than it was year ago. Tho foreign
exchanges while somewhat irregular, have shown IA
hardening tendency. While Europe is returning
somo of our higa-prico securities to secure the
profits which the present ruling figures afford it is
making liberal subscriptions to our new enterprises
at about par This interchange of securities
causes irregular movements i'll the exchanges.
Thus gold shipments from Europe had al
most ceased, but during last week there was
a renewed movement, and about So, I00. 600 gold
was reported as being withdrawn from the Bank of
England for export to tho United States, and the
Hamburg steamer which left Havre yesterday for
Newton is reported to have 100000 francs (about
500 O00) OF board. The domestic exchanges arc
working moro favorably to New-York, anu at Chi
cago it is quoted firm at rs cents premium The inn
ports of specie for the week amOuntedto 8 100000
and the exports to $200,500. The exchanges at tho
New-York Clearing House last week amounted
TO 81 IFS, 97S 0S6thc largest transactions for one
week in the history of the institution.
The Stock Exchange markets were active and ex-
cited til the week, but good deal of irregularity
was shown in the movements of prices The
expected investment demand failed To
appear on the third day of tho new year,
and following o rather brilliant opening.
the markets were moro or less depressed But later
there was q speculative recovery that included the
entire list of securities Govern ments wcrc firm
