Opinions on the New York Market.
G. Bowie Chapman, of Z. r. Chapman
& Co.-"The market was narrow, iuc-
tuations in many cases traversing the
same ground several times. The market
always presented firm undertOne and an
absence Of liquidation. The closing was
quiet, with several issues showing gains.
The reported movements Of currency this
week indicate a gain in casn by the banks
of g. $50. 400. For the moment we expect 10

Improvement"
S. II. Agnew. Of Henry Clews & Co
THE market was duh affair. The
holiday dullncss prevails. and likely will
do so until Wednesday Of next week. As
expected, there was a big demand for
call money. with sparse offerings. Open
ing loans were made at .. 10. and z per

With call money at such a premium. no
runaway bull market need be expected.
