Money In san Francisco.
SAN Francisco, November 6:h.-Money is
working closer, and bank rates for the past
few weeks are easily obtainsble. Outsiders
are following the banks pretty closely in their
asking rates for money. Very few private
capitalists are now willing to lend under 6
per cent. on good collateral, and they some
times get Z, which is the general bank rate
for the average commercial paper. Most of
the savings banks are asking per cent. on
city real estate. 1t is thought that good
deal of money has gone out Of the market in
q quiet way in the past few months, prob.
ably through the shipment of silver GER
titcates in the mails. Domestic exchange
is quoted at 20 cents premium for sight drafts
on New York and 80 cents for kilograms.
Bank bills on London are drawn at 49si
for 60 days; commercial hills on London,
sod. Refined silver, lS4@l4 per cent. dis
count. Mexican dollars, S9GS9l cents.
