MONEY.

The general tendency Of money during
last week. as in the previous week, from
the interior was toward this centre, which
was usual for the season. as the demand
for crop moving funds is over. In the
course of business in the money market
from day TO day there was very little
change, as bankers were not inclined TO
make any commitments until after the
first of the year. In time loans and COM
mercial paper particularly transactions
were limited. while currency continued TO
increase from the interior keeping cal
money in an easy position. a rather UNI
usual development was shown In the en-
trance of German bankers into this mar
ket as lenders, as heretofore the custom
has been for them 20 be borrowers at the
quarterly period and over the end Of the
year. This reflects the improved condition
i'm the foreign money market, especially in
Germany and forecasts easy money condi-
tions for the near future at least So far
as the local outlook IS concerned IL is not
possible 30 predict how long restraint in
loans will be felt, but after the turn Of
the year more active market is expected
I'm time accommodations and the demand
for commercial paper is expected TO inn
prove now that the currency bill has been
enacted into law and bankers know APP
proxlnately what is before them.
