The demand for curroncy from 1he country is moderate, just abont balancing receipts; but, on the whole, business deposlis arc steadily fncreasing,. The demand for dis- vounts continues active, the rate belug steady ot about 8 per cent. Exceptional loans may sometimes be made 1@2 per cent above or be- low the ruling rate. The geueral feeling In banking and business cireles {s lirm und hope- ful. The dnys of heavy losses by faillng cus. tomers and o steady and ruluously falling mar- ket arc belfeved to be over, at least for many months to come. The bank clearings were §2,000,000. Government bouds were in good demand, Unit*d States s of '8, 106{@1003¢: 5:20s of Jo7, 1013{@102; 5-20s of '03, 102@1031(; 10-40s, 104X @10456; new bs of '8l 1081{@1041¢ 3 new 434w, 1033/@100}4 : new 4 per cent coupons, 100 @1003¢. The trouble mentloned in our Jast 1eport In reference to the 4 per cents atill con- tiuues. The Treasury cannot begin to supply the demanud for them. Hence the morketis nearly bare of the article. ‘The rate for gold and other colns Is without change, The market for forelgn exchange s firm, due more to a scant supply of bills rather than to any extraordinary demnnd. THE S5TOCK MARKLT hos been active, with large transactions. The movement in Unlon Paclflc continued, and the stock closes at 703, the blzhest polnt of the dav, If the reports given yesterday prove cor- rect, we shall be able soon to detlue the situn- tlon clearly. It {8 not goverally Lelieved thut Gould bas been 8o cornered s to lose control of aline In which o has 8 large personal interest, and which he has malntained through a period of unusual depression, New York Central advanced steadlly, from 118 to 120.

Onlo & Mississippl remained firin at about the quotatton of Monday, Pacific Mail advanced to 15 from 13§ Alou- day, The Granper stocks were dull, and nl- though transactions were large prices close about the same, It fa possible that this uil ia but temporary.

A bill has passed the Tenneasee Leginalature requiriue tusurance companieato buy the fult amount written on the face of w poliey whre the property is wholly destroyed by fire, The Governor haswot slgned the bill, but it 1 be- lleved be will allow It to becomo a Tnw without his siguature.

WItO BUYS THE FOUR PER CENT BONDS? New York Jaurnat, Everybody seems surprised to think that the 4 per ceut bonds are sold nt the rate of $140,- 000,000 n month. They tnlnk it an evidence that the credit of the country s good, that money is plentiful, and that times will be bete ter. But who is {t that 18 pulting their money into these bonds? s it the bankers nnd moneg- lTenders, do you think? Not so, They are the o-betweens, the steol-plgeons used to entrap the conflding public. No banker {s golug to put much money in 4 per cent bonds, They will buy them ~for other people, will advancoe maoney for thnt purpose, nud hold these bonds ns securitv. ‘The- bankers in Wall sirect ara offering to odvance moner for auy one who dealres to rurclmno Louds, provid- ing the party is responelble for any depreclation in'the value of the bonds, ‘The objeet In dolng this fa to induce everybody to purchnse these ber cent bonds and tio their money up in them, The bankers know well enough that just as soon a8 business becomes netive inoney will be worth more than twice 4 ver cent per atnum, It will nat be many months after a renewnl of business before there witl bo o marked depreciation in the price of Govermment bonds, Men are not going to Jock up money in 4 ver cent bonds when they can realize 20°to 80 per eent by fnvest. fngr ft 0 real estate or in other enterpriscs, Wiien once tied up in chenp secaritles it is not. easy to get it out, and for_this reason the bank- era will svon be ablo to buy these 8 and 4 per vent securities at prices that will bring a fatr in- terest on thefr fuvestment. WHT TUEY ARE BOUGHT. 'The New York Zublic gives the followlng ex- olanation of the rush tor investmens, which has been remarked in the sale of stocks and bonds: Tho rush for Investment—what does it mean? Evidently, it means that the ocoplo who have beon hoarding specie, In the lobe or the fear that re- sumption would fatl, have bezun 1o seok for somo paying employment for their money. ‘They have Lecn tying out of intorest for @ long time, and are anxious to make thelr monoy earn vomethlog, As the chauce of using specie as merchandive, and making money by selltni coln vanishes from signt, they discaver that it payw better 1o hoard nundy than 10 hoard gold. Accordingly, they tuy Uov- ermument bonus,and the subscriptions for the 4-por- cent bonds are donbtlcas in’ part from persons of {lus clans, As they actunlly had the specie hoard- ed in banke or safo-denosit companies, or othe: wlse, n consikeraple amount ol actusl'coin flow: 1nto the Treasury or the authorizod depositaries.
