Buyers scem to bo encouraged rather than ariven off by the higher prices of bonds, Chi- cago dealers sold moro 4 per cont’ a 101/¢ than they could get rid of ina week whon the bouds wera at 09, Tho 6s of 1881 declined 36, to 100145 the now 6s of 1881 4, to 1019¢; the digs wore steady nt 100%; the 4a were 101 buying and 1014 @1013¢ sciling; and the currency 6s 323, Tho extroordinarily low rato of interest abroad and the demand for first-class securities, as shown in the phonomenal rise of consols iu Tondop, polut to an excellent market there for our 4 per conta, If theso bonds onco cet {ately popular in England and the Continent, they can be marketed there by the tens of millions, ‘There were a few changes in foreign exchange rates, In Chicago sterling crain bills were 484, and French bills were strong at 520. ‘he avtual Chicago rates for storing were 48034 and 43734. In Now York the acthal rates woro 486 and 48734. The posted rates for sterling were s80b¢ and 488. French bankers’ bills were 61734 and 516. Consols, usually steady and sedate, have taken to-golng up like some of Jay Gould's fancies. Thia 8 per cont security yeatorday reached the figure of 90 7-16, a rise of 3§. Consols have oc- casfonally touched par, but it has been only in very unusual states of the money market, Vike the present. The Lonilon Times of April 7 shows tho cause of the great de- mand for consols tobe the paymont of divi- donds to the public which ‘has added largely to the supply of floating canital previously seeking employment tn the open market. The price of all first-class securities 1s 60 high—consols hay- ing slightly exceeded the price of 03 for tho frat time since November, 1858—that eapitallsts aro at their wits'-end to kriow what to do with their monoy. ‘The London discount houses find them- selves in the unbappy position of being obliaed to refuse large sttms ot moncy offered to them on deposit from the provinces, on account of the impossibility of discovering any way of making ‘use of {ft profitably. The discount rate for three months’ bank bills tne fallen to 1¢@1%¢ por cont, and the competition among lenders {s as keon ogatn os ever,’ In its iseuo of the 18th inst. the Times declares that: Bonoy is gathering more into a stagnant maea in ihe London markets and existe now in such amounts that wero people's minds at vate glesntic sohomes and epeculations would spring intu boing. As matters stand the Government alone can be cx- pected to trench upon this unusual hoard, Its re- quirements on behalf of India and South Africa are tho most likely means now visible for avol- jehing the ila money Which welghs on the market ton extent that maker money-lendora’ occupa- tion almost profitiess, Thore in no business enter- prise, no confidenco in business prospects anil a strong sense of inecctirity in nearly ail business departments, which prevent the free employment: of Joansble capital in mercantile affaire, Ohicago bank clearings were Ight, $2,700,000, and business was quict in all departments. The demand for money has slackencd, and cal! loans can now be obtaineil on cash collatcral os low as 5 per cont, though this fs by no means a cencral rate, The current timo rate ts 7@S8 per cout, with some transnctions at 8@10 percont. The balance of the curroncy movement continucs in favor of tho monetary centres. ‘There wore sales of Chamber of Commerce stock at 673¢f Tradore’ {nauranco atock nt 113; of o small lot of Cook County 5 per cents at 10L and interest; of Chicago City 7a at 111k¢; Chicago Water 7s, 1119Z; and Cook County 76 at 1114.
