The New York Tribune, in speaking of the stock
operations in that city on Monday, says:
The Stock market active and excited to-day in a
very high degree and the of business transacted
almost equal to any days operations in the pamiest pc
riod in the history of the Stock Exchange The number
of transactions at the first Board in point of fact
extensive than before registered embracing 20
OF the Secretays record book while the largest day
vious has not exceeded % although the aggregate value
OF the business may have been larger The number
OF shares bought and sold during the day. actually reg
stered is 1896 and the bonds foot up total of $685.
oO0 The private sales have also been unusually heavy
especially for State and City Bonds, which have of late
attracted attention for investment. A glance
at the printed sales shows a uniform Improvement
throughout the bond list extending only to the
first grade of Railway Bonds but to many descrptions
which have hitherto found but little favor with the pub
lie The share dealings very animated throughout
the day and the advancing tide in those which claimed
particular attention appeared for the time quite ress
bic The rush of buyers carried prices up several in
stances PAS cent. without break the way and in
closing prices yesterday The bears appear be senced
for the time and the opposition is feeble and unsteady
The movements continue to show complete lack of
number of outside buyers is indicated by the greater dis
tribution of business at each session.
The Tribune also says:
these institutions during the past week. the leans specie
and deposits, having slightly increased The increase
of loans is, if anything, less than anticipated
been to considerable extent the result of further
mcnts in Treasury notes. There have also been
dscounting for interior and southern banks but the
amount of local paper offered for discount has been
equal to the amount matured and paid We have lost
some specie to the South and some to Europe but the
money keeps well up, and new California arrival is due
during the week. The increase in undrawn deposits
rather took the street by surprise 1t shows that the bank
balances being drawn down to any serious extent
in this city.
