TUESDAY, Feb. l0-6 p. N.
The money market has been easy to-day and
he brokers have been able to borrow all they
wanted at 6 per cent. Mercantile paper sells at
Ga per cent for the best names. Many capital
lists continue to hold back their means in order to
place them in United States Treasury notes bear
ing per cent interest. Debt certificates are
steady at yesterdays advance.
Gold was quite active to-day, with
further decline in the price. 1t opened
this morning at about l54-a decline OF
one per cent from the closing price last
eyening-fel to 1929, rallied to 1881, sold
in the afternoon at 1853, l521l. 1891, and closed
1897 bid Exchange sold as low At one time as
l6s. but closed about l69 a a. Some heavy sales
of gold made to-day traced to foreign bank
ers whose action is presumed to have been based
on private information with regard to the pros
poets aud nature of French mediation. Wall street
is of the opinion that conference between North.
ern and Southern commissioners would lead to
peace, and that the meeting Of such conference
would cause gold to decline 20 per cent in day.
Demand notes within per cent of gold.
The stock market was lower this morning, and
at one time looked decidedly blue Erie common
seems to be the weak spot in the speculative l;st
and all the other railway shares sympathize with
it. II opened this morning Mt 70, fell to TN, raj
lied to 1875. sold at in the afternoon, and closed
that bid. The talk in the street is that quantity
Of Erie has fallen into weak hands, and that the
stock is plentiful than it used to be. The old
story Of the sinking fund, which is to absorb the
surplus that would otherwise be divided
among the common shareholders, has been
revived, and is mentioned accounting for
some heavy sales. Erie preferred declined per
cent by sympathy, and, at the first board, the
whole market was lower. New York Central fell
"a per cent, Hudson a Cleveland and Pittsburg
TX, Southern old u. Harlem "a, Galena q, Rock
Island a, Toledo Il. There was no change in
bonds. Governments were "a per cent better,
with light business. Operators generally seem
avcrse to moving with any spirit until Congress
has adjourned. and 1t looks az though we should
have q dull and variable market until then. At
the public board, at one P. NJ, the market was
steadier, and the demand for Erie Galena, Pitts
burg and or two of the other active stocks was
lively At tho second session Of the regular board
the market was Irregular but on the whole prices
were better, closing firm. At the four P. NJ. ses-
sion of the public board the market was generally
firm. though somewhat irregular, and not very ac-
tive. The following were the closing quota

The most ptiahle spectacle OF the day is to see
the Senate debating gravely. within three weeks
Of the recess, whether the banks to be organized
under Mr.. Chase's bill may issue $500 900 900 or
$500 900 900 of paper money. Every smart clerk
in Wall street knows that there is not the re-
hottest chance Of any single bank being established
under that scheme, even though it became a law
at once. man would be insane to buy govern
ment skies at their present price to bank on,
when the prospect is clear that Mr.. Chase will
hereafter be glad to sell them TO the public ut
rs or so. Nor would any reasonable man; with
a decent acquaintance with business, choose
the present time to start q new bank under
q new and untrcd system. The banking laws of
New York, New Jersey and other States arc libe
raj enough to answer the purpose Of any one who
proposes to embark in the banking business. They
are old ld>Ss, with whose working people are fam-
lar If any one wanted to start new bank just
now, he would start it under one Of these, and
would not risk his money under the new and I'M
tried scheme which is now before Congress. But
the Senate, it seems is so ignorant of finance that
it goes on day after day drearily debating this in
genious but utterly futile scheme, while the army
remains unpaid and the public credit is rotting to
pieces from the want of policy at Washington.

CAVALRY RECONNOIsSANCR ALONG THE

THE REBELS DISCOVERED IN FORCE BIZ
TWEEN THE RAPIDAN AND GORDONs-

The following has been received from the
Army Of Potomac: Is
On Sunday morning the cavalry division
commanded bv Gen. Fitzpatrick, under the
temporary command of Gen. Custer, made q
reconnaissance along the Rapidan, st Raccoon
Ford, to ascertain the truth or falsity of re-.
ports that the enemy were falling back upon
Gordonsviile.
As our cavalry approached they were greet
ed with few guns from the rebel entrench-
ments, but our light batteries soon silenced
them.
A few sharpshooters were seen in the lower
rifis-pits, and shortly afterwards a strong in
Santry force was developed.
The river was too swollen. by the heavy
storm Of Saturday night to make the attempt to
cross, and our cavalry returned.
1t was confidently believed that trains over
the railroad would run into Cuipsper last
night, as the bridge over the Rappahannock is
nearly completed, and the road untnjured to
Culpeper.
