MONEY.LENDING RATES

NEW YORK-The time money market Is
very dull owing TO hesitancy on the part
Of borrowers and the lack Of any changes
in the attitude OF lenders regarding the
Immediate outlook. Technically the tone
is said to be shade nrner and some OF
the larger Institutions are for the moment
somewhat more conservative. On good
mixed loans there has been some business
at 4G4A per cent for periods OF so days
to six months and Industrial loans are
quoted at AZ a41s per cent.
Prime bank acceptances show a moderate
movement at 3s.13 per cent for eiigibles
