The money market was easier, and borrowers were freely supplied at alx per cent carly in the day, and at five per cent in the afternoon, Excep- | Uonally, seven per cent was paid on stocks, and some of the banks endeavored to make that rate general in transactions on call. sut the supply of- fering wt six per cent prevented the success of the movement.
