The mystery of the duiness in Wall street 19 heightened by the remarkab'e ease in the money market, which shows a condition of relaxation sel- dom paralleled at this season of the year, To-day the best rate on call loans was five per cent, while at four per cent the transactions were almost the bulk of business; they were the majority of all fresh engagements. Lenaers had large balances over, aud befure the close of banking hours were running around to employ them, the resuit of which was their compulsory acceptance of as low as three per cent, rather than no interest at all, for their money over night. Naturally the note brokers find areadier market for commercial paper, which is current at seven per cent, with an occasional sale of a choice “gilt edged” piece at as low as six and a half per cent. Foreign exchange was nominally unchanged, but dull.
