The Boston Money Market notes an easier week with clearing house at 4 cents, general market time loans 4 to 6 percent, and country banks discounting good paper at 6 percent. New York funds show discounts near 45 cents per $1000, with substantial weekly clearing house totals and a currency drain to the interior. Government securities and bonds move with varied bids, while foreign exchange and rail stock buzz frame a cautious market mood amid St. Paul and Atchison concerns and dividend discussions.
