A BETTBU MONEY MARKET, Although there Is no change In rates. better tone exists In the money market Jin this city, especially for commercial paper. Country banks are nftain in tne market for paper and In some Instances they are buying as much as they do In (normal times Another Indication that the better fcei- nng prevalent everywhere has penetrated to the country Institutions Is tho fact Bthat many country banks have, within the last few days, offered to strengthen their reserves with their city correspond ents. One large bank In this city has Ithls week received letters from many country banks offering to do this.
