Money is freely offered to the brokers at per
cent, the supply at this figure being in excess sf
the demand. The banks are all free lenders. as il
was obvious from their last abatement tina. they
would be. So far as money is concerned opera
tors look forward to an easy time.
Gold rallied this morning to 1881, notwithstand-
ing the good news, and bills were 1891 l39-
The gold market is at present very considerably
under the control Of specuators whose opers-
tons affect it almost as frequently as war news
doss. The strength which II has lately shows
is mainly due to the wants Of the shorts:
while the sharp decline day before yester.
day. from l29A to 1851, occasioned
by speculative sales more than by any
military intelligence. The fall OF Charleston or
defeat Of Lees army would undoubtedly force
gold below l20; but speculation would insure it,
rallying from the extreme point Of depression. II
the afternoon It sold at l25, 1851 and l2s, and
bills at 1887.
There are indications Of renewed activity in the
stock market. based, no doubt, upon the ol
money and the large earnings Of the roads. The
upward movement In Hudson River and Pr ciac
Mail has proved contagious Yesterday Southern
old followed the example. and to-day Rock Island
took start, selling at the morning board at 10A
against 1909 last evening. II is hard to assign
special reasons for these movements. Probably
the truest explanation of them is that the spirit q
speculation is aroused, and that there are plenty
of people with plenty Of money who stand ready
to bny anything which seems to promise to ad.
vance. There is a pretty large short interest
in Rock Island which will assist an up
ward movement. There was no change

The favorites were old Southern. Erie, Rock Island

desire to speculate than we have noticed for soms
time. In the afternoon the market was very
active. and many stocks were buoyant. New

The recent movement in Fort Wayne stock.
which has carried IL up to &C. is understood to rest
upon the fact that much money has now been
laid out upon the road that the management i
enabled to reduce the present outlay for construc-
ton very materially, while the earnings continue
to increase. Thus we believe that only abous
half as much money is now being spent in con-
struction as spent last year at this time-the
difference going, OF course, TO the stockholders.

The Situation.

Expectation is the order of the day AT all three Of

The programme TO make feint on North Carolina
suddenly embark for Port Royal and attack Charleston
before the Rebels were aware of the movement The
surprise has failed and the whole enterprise is likely to
share the same fate.
From vieksburg, we have heard nothing since the
capture Of the Queen of the West That capture may
seriously affect the movements Of the enemy-thorgh

Reports represent the forces of the enemy in that vicir-
Y as being in a dissatisfied and demoraized condition
