The money market was very dull to-day after
the excitement of the past few days. Few loans
were disturbed, and the indications are that to-
morrow the parties who called their loans yester-
day and on Saturday will be anxious to find EN-
ployment for their means. We hear of sales of
mercantile paper, about six months to run, at 5
per cent. Certificates Of Indebtedness are "a bet
ter-about par.
Gold rose to l041S this morning, and some of the
leading bankers advanced their rate for the steamer
to u.s. at which figure there was little or no busi-
ness done, the highest sales being about ll4'5+.
Francs are quoted 4.s21a 400, with light de-
mand. Produce merchants predict q continued
and increased scarcity Of bills.
The stock market was better to-day. The more
cheerful news from Washington gave more courage
to the bulls, and the decline of yesterday led to an
increase of orders from the public. The bears are
a good deal disappointed that no large amounts Of
stock have come on the market during the recent
period of uneasiness. They appear to have ex-
pected that the shifting of loans would obge some
of the heavy bull operators to sacrifice their stocks
To-day there some realizing, perhaps for bull
account but the aggregate amount of stock sold
was small With this exception, so far we
can learn, there have been no sales of
stock for accounts of the leading bulls since the
decline began, though it may reasonably be con-
Jectured that the leading operators, who foresaw
the turn in the market, relieved themselves of
some stocks before prices gave way and so
strengthened their position. At the morning
board to-day large business was done in Pacific
Mail, Erie, Central, the Michigan shares, Gaena,
Toledo and Rock Island. The advance of the
morning was equal to in Pacific Mail, a in Cen

In Toledo and in Rock Island. The inclement
weather operated against business between the
boards. At the second board stocks came out
more freely than they had done, and prices
gave way in consequence. A decline of
q per cent in the leading specula-
tive shares ensued. After the call there
was quite rush to sell among the small operators,
and the market closed heavy at about the follow
