The local money market to-day is without
Fpecial feature, though money is ratlier scarcer
and rates tinner than heretofore. An effort is
evidently being made In New York, and perhaps
elsewhere, to create ft stringency of money with
a view to "bear" the block market, but we doubt
whether the influence extends to this centre,
though capital is rowlie; less accessible every
day except on call Joans and collaterals which
secure to lenders full control of their funds for
future operations. The rates still range between
and OH per cent, on Government and good
co'llatcials, and 7Co 'J per cent, for choice busi
ness paper of Phott d.ites.
(iold is quiet, steady, and a fraction lower,
ranginir between IIO; and I10TM'.

From thcK. Y. Herald,
"It will be remembered that on several occasions
during the past month, and, In fact rrciueut'y sln e
the bt ginning of fall, the 'bears' in the toetc market
have endeavored to renoer the monev market
stringent, but each time have failed to accoruplUU

capital in the city this season, una from the
absence of any accidental circumstances cal
culated to help them. They went' so far as to
invoke tne aid or one or tne prominent down
town banks, wnicn locked np f 2,r.oo,ooo Tor a nay or
two, nut on tins occasion tney suddenly lost the alii-
ance of the bank, because one of the otllclals of the
currency liureau at wusiiington happened to bo on
a tour oi inspection in tins city, anI inght.ened it
into propriety. Aiienpin tney discovered that to
day the city government was about to call in. or
would nave railed in irom tne day previous, the sum
of about $3,600,000, in order to meet the payment of
interest on and rireeem a portion or the county debt
(the city and county having been consolidated, the
county and city debt are now the same thing), while
they calculated that during the balance "of the

attack, its brilliant; success does credit to their
abilities as financiers and speculstors, no matter
now cuiiianie tney may be in orrend'ng so griev-

"The rate advanced to seven per cent., gold, after
which a 'commission' of a Mxwentli was paid. The
