No EASTERN MONEY IN THE MARKET.
In conversation to-day u prominent
man in Dallas money circles, and him
self the agent for one of the strongest
Easterd financial concerns doing
~ ortgaginE loan basiness in Texas, was
heard to remark that week ago his
house telegrsphed him not to draw on
them for over $1,000 day, owing to the
stringency of the Eastern money market.
Tod ay another message came from the
same parties to the effect that they
could make no more loans on
Texas property until the money
market eased up. The gentleman is
very much put out, as he has on
his desk, applications for S43, 900 in
loans, and these applications were being
supplied at the rate OF $1,000 per day
until the last message came shutting of
the money supply. The gentleman fur
Their said that two other similar agencies
in this city had been cut off from their
money supply, and that there is virtually
no Eastern money in the Dallas market.
At present there is no indication when
matters will be mended, but it is to be
hoped that the present condition will not
last long.
