Markets React as Boston Banks Hold Steady Amid Silver Bill Debate

In Boston on January 15, about $850,000 moved through dividends and interest as banks, wary from recent stringency, kept loaning rates near 6 percent at the Clearing House. The silver bill's Senate passage unsettled lenders, delaying some loans while New York funds and exchanges shifted. Bell Telephone fluctuated with rapid trades, Atchison earnings for November showed a sharp drop, and early talk pointed to New York and New England consolidation rumors. The Minnesota railroad report highlighted rising capital, mixed surpluses, and overall gains across multiple lines.

A New York despatch, picked up in Boston, claimed that the New York & New Haven and the New York & New England railroads would seek legislative approval to consolidate. Vice President Haskell said he knows nothing and suspects the report is false.
