TIE MONETARY SITUATION.

The local money market during last week was
distinctivcly easier in its tone. There seems TO
he at this time an unusual amount OF mlsinforma-
ton and mlsconcepton concerning the financial
situation. For over six weeks some eminent re-
viewers have been steadily week by week, quoting
the money market as hardening at advanced rates,
and at the time until the last week, they have
continued to give the quotations Tor both call
and tune loans at nearly the lowest ngures whlch
have ruled at any time during the last SIX Hohtiis
IL was quite natural that superficial studies OF
the movements OF money during past years should
lead TO the suppositon that in August and Sepiem-
Der there should be gradual hardening OF money

Of selling them TO the Treasury, besides the l-2s

Is fast as opportunities for investment at better
than per cent rate are offered, and thus pre-
venting any further accumulation il not making a
large reduction in the Treasury balances. Taking
these conditions in view, there has been no period
when anticipatons of an advance TO legal rates
for money from legitimate sources have been
Justified. Probably the situation is so strong and
the Accommodations now IN the Treasury are so
easy to be obtained in case OF necessity, that
manipulation could effect nothing more than a
furry, and that Of only one or two days duration
