The news of this further improvement in the English
market tended slightly to depress the gold market, and to
strengthen Illinois Central and Erie. Gold opened at 1471,
and advanced to 148, after which it relapsed to 147*. At
four o'clock it was steady at 1471, but at half-past four it
had declined under the effect of the London quota-
tions to 1471 to 1. Cash gold was somewhat scarcer than
yesterday, and loanswero made at to t percent. per diem
in favour of the lender. The Asia has arrived at Boston
with $143,000 in specie, but the recent shipments of gold
from England to this country have already been fully dis-
counted in this market. The Arizona, from Aspinwall,
also brought $1,336,058 in gold and silver bars.
In foreign exchange there is still great depression, and
among the brokers at the close of business the rates were
as under:—Bankers' hills on England at sixty days, 1051
to 1064 ; three days, 1061 to 1071. Commercial, 1041 to 105,
Continenal rates were unsettled.

At the open board at three o'clock Eric sold at 73/, New
York Central 1021, Cleveland and Toledo 1151, Fort
Wayne 1041, Reading 1121 to 1, Michigan Southern 8.11,
Illinois Central 123, Cleveland and Pittsburg 861, Rock
Island 1081 to 1, North-western 351—preferred 671, Quick-
silver 491, Spruce fill Coal 41. Tho market finally closed
with a steady tone, the quotations at a quarter past five

to 73, Reading 113 to 1, Michigan Southern 84 to I, Cleve-
land and Pittsburg 861 to 1, Rock Island 108: to 1, North-

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.
Par steamer " City of Paris."—The Money Market con-

tinues to exhibit extreme ease. The redemption by the
Treasury, of a large amount of the Temporary Loan,
alluded to in our last advices, has added to the unusual
abundance of money, and large sums are offered at 4 per
cent. on demand, while discounts are easy at 5 to 6 per

The plethora of idle funds has induced an active specu-
lation in Government Securities, under which prices have
generally advanced, the rise having been also stimulated
by an active foreign demand, and an advance in quotations
at London. Five-Twenties of 1882 have touched 1131,
but yesterday fell off to 112, closing at 1121 to I. There
has been some inquiry for 5-20's of 1861, for export, but
apparently principally on private account ; the bonds ad-
vanced on 'Wednesday to 1131 upon a rumour that they
had been admitted to the London Exchange, but subse-
quently declined to 109, and close at 110.
Railroad Stocks have been comparatively weak and dull,
and for the moment the tendency of the Market appears to ,
favour lower prices. Erie has fluctuated between 74 and
74i, and closes at 73. Illinois Central Shares have-been
firm in sympathy with the advance in the stock at London, 1
and closes at 123 k.
State Stocks have been rather more active and firmer,
in sympathy with the rise in Government securities. Ten-
nessee 6's, 1890, close at 921 to 94i ; North Carolina 6's,
841; Virginia 6's, 70 to 71; and Missouri 6's, 78.
The speculative movement in Gold has abated, causing
a decline in the price to 1461, and a reduction in the rate
of interest on loans to 1-16 to } per cent. per dim.
Subsequently the price reacted and closes at 147 k.
