In the stock market yesterday morning worthy
Of note, but In the afternoon the market he
came weak and prices fell off, Gold nuctuated
considerably durisg the day and finally closed
al 1879. The bank statement shows a further
large contraction In loans and discounts and q
reduction In the amount of specie Of over
$S0O,000. The money market was quite active
at seven per cent but higher rates arc more
likely soon to rule. Goyernment securities
continued firm with a pressing demand for
the lvetwenty bonds. .
There was but little movement in CONNER
cial matters yesterday. There was some de-
mand for certain articles, but owing 70 the
variations in gold prices were very uncertain,
and trade was consequently much Interrupted.
At the produce exchange things were mixed.
The steamers news Influenced the market
for -four and grain fayorably, and both were
higher. Other articles were without marked
change. .,s,s.
Gotten, groceries, &C., were steady. Petro-
leum was dull and nominal. Freighis were

and would necessarily he one Of short duration.
