Smaller Premiums.

The premium on New York funds in
Montreal showed a further decline yes
terday to 151a per cent, against the
high record of 19A per cent. Although
that decline is more or less temporary,
being partly due to an over-accumula- :
tion Of New York funds in Montreal in
preparation for the end of the year, a
permanently helpful influence is the
progress being made gradually in the
paying off by the British Government of
the S150.000.000 loan extended during
the war by Canadian banks. There was
an equivalent decline in the discount on
Canadian funds in New York.
