MONETARY.

The local money market has ruled quiet
all week, with discount rates steadily held
at 5(@6 per cent Eastern exchange and
currency have traded even.
In conversation with Wood street broker
this morning he talked of the situation as
follows: "The banks generally are in COM
Portable position. They have large deposit
lines, it is true. but their discount lines are
also large. The demand is slack, but do
not believe there is any shading of rates.
There is nothing doing below per cent
even on sharp call. do not believe there
are ten loans in the two cities be-
low per cent The trouble at Home
stead, 1 think, will end in a VIC
tory for the owners of the big
mill. If such proves to be the case the
trouble. despite the great cost, will not have
been in vain. 1t will demonstrate that there
is some assurance of protection for capital
invested in manufacturing properties, and
money will be easier to obtain for this class
of investments"
