THE MONETARY SITUATION.

Money showed a hardening tendency in all the
principal markets The supply everywhere was
large, but lenders insisted upon full rates. In
the local market call loans, at the Stock En-
change, ranged from l-2 to 10 per cent. but
the bulk OF the business was done at per cent.
The highest figure made the first day OF
the week, and there were some indications Of
skilful manipulation. On other days the price
rarely went above legal interest. even when call
loans extended over holidays. Time money was
also dear and, even for short dates was not
easily accessible below per cent. few small
loans for thirty days were made at and IL
per cent, but they were exceptional The move
ment of currency 70 the interior, although not
50 extensive as in the preceding week, was still
important. From certain points in the North
west and South the demand was undated Trans
fers through the Sub-Ireasury amounted 10 about
80, 00O, 900 and. because small notes were scarce
in Washington, the greater part OF the shipments
was made from the New-YOrk Sub-Trcasnry. AS
a rule, the receipts of currency were from nearby
points.
IN the European markets money was sitter,
not only in London, but also at Paris and othcr
C0ntir entail centres. The Bank Of England made
no change in its discount rate but in the week
II lost over csO0, 900 bullion, Of which one half
went out Of the country. The foreign "x'
changes were easier early in the week IN conse-

BANK CONDITIONS COMPARED

Bv the operations of the New-Yorll Sub-Treas-
urv in the week ended Friday night. which in
cluded deposits of 81 ,927 000 for payment at
otber points, the associated banks lost $s47,545.
The weekly bank statement published yesterday
showed loss in cash of S2,456,7OO. This re-
suit was in consOnance with the known move
ments of money. and practically the whole loss
was in legal-tender notes. The shipments TO the
interior continued to lie heavy outside even the
Sub-Treasury transfers The contraction in loans
averaged S3713lO0, but the reduction i'll de-
nosts was smaller by nearly $2,000,0OO than
the other changes demanded. This discrepancy
was unusually large and. in addition TO me dll
