In the money market there il nothing new of in
terest Capital is Offering in excess ofthe demand
at per cent cn short loans, and transactions are
being made at 4. Gold Is weak, and late in the
day could hardly be quoted above lit. The fiuc
tuations in the latter the foundation of great
deal OF the speculation in the street, and to one
who watches the transactions of the Bulls and
Bears in it, end marks the comparative ease with
which a change OF one or two per cent. can be
made in its market rate, the absurdi:y of all reas.
oniSg in reference to prices based upon the idea
that every advance in gold notes corresponding
depreciation in currency becomes very manifest.

600, and the steamer of the 2lst has 81, I,llfOOO-
making total monthly shipment of nearly three
millions Of dollars consigned to this city. The
next month may be expected TO produce still
greater increase; SO that the precious metal will
soon find its level, the market being glutted and
the supply being in excess Of the wants Of com.
