EASIER TERMS IN
EASTERN MONEY MARKET
Dun's Review Attributes Change to
Strong Bank Observation-Disclosures
That Call Money Is Obtain
able at One Per Cent

Dun's review OF the money market is as fol-
lows:
Somewhat easier terms prevailed in the
money market at the opening of the week.
rarity because Of the strong bank statement
last Saturday, but more account of large
offerings in the speculative market of six
months money at per cent. Presumably this
operation was manipulative, the general
situation showed corresponding change, but
results in the security trading indicated that
the margin demand was not stimulated. In
the statement OF banks and trust companies
outside the clearing house there were sensa-
tionai advances in loans and deposits. but
these may be attributed to the reopening Of the
hnickerhocker Trust company. and have no
significance.
Cash has continued TO come from the inter
Tor and treasury balances are increasingly ad-
verse, so that estimates Of the deficit for the
fiscal year have been materially increased.
During March the government expended S.
5S4 1854 more than il took in. which compares
with a surplus OF s1O.62.953 in the same month
last year. This big difference is due to de-
crease of about $40. 100000 In receipts. chiefly
customs revenues. while an increase of si0.-
100000 in disbursements was well distributed
over the seven classes.
There was no pressure in connection with the
quarterly dividend and interest payments of
$3.50. 200. co., and several new railway borrow
ings are being handled without difficulty Talk
of gold exports to Paris are also regarded with
eouanimity In view OF the very large surplus in
local banks Gross gold In the treasury has
moved to a new high water mark. and further
substantial gains are promised II the secretary
makes another call on the banks for govern
n,ent deposits. is generally anticipated.
