Money Market Opens Steady With Low Loan Rates
The Boston money market opens with easy rates as all loans at the clearing house run 2% while general market loans sit around 4 to 5% with most trades near 4.5%. Call loans with collateral range 3 to 5% and New York funds discount 5 to 10 cents per $1000. Exchange figures show higher activity than a year ago, and the local bank reserve surplus widens though deposits slip by $400,500. The stock market is active and broad, with Atchison and Burlington & Quincy among movers and a mixed earnings outlook for several railroads.
