There was no break in the story of mercantile and Indus trial prosperity in every quarter of the uul. the sole complaint heard In busl- circlea referring to the difficulty f getting sufficient and efficient labor. >f matters directly affecting the securl- rrmrket last week, first place must accorded, of course, to the presl- lent’s annual message to congress, and t the message was so in qocord with evious anticipations of its character that It was utterly without intluence as market factor. What finally affected «• market In the dosing days of the c*ek was obviously the unrelieved ensure upon all speculative ventures r the rise in stocks of high rates for o use of m »n»\v. The rate of renew- * for bank loans <»f call money on the Iloor of the st«nk exchange ad vanced steadily each day during the \\**ek until 30 i»er cent was askeit and paid In this way on Friday. It became known that English hankers had noti fied bortowers here that about $25,- ooo.noo of loans maturing on January l would not be renewed, although It was manifest that tins foreign monetary sit- uatiort had greatly Improved, ami al though sterling here became so de pressed under the high money rates as to afford superficial Indications of a resumption of the movement of gold from England to this side. Wind these ttion**y rates are can best bo judged by the fact that *»n Saturday one of the leading national hanks of the city made a loan <«f $.'•**.<»<»•< at S per cent f<»r 90 days upon the security of the 4 pei cent bonds of the city of New York.
