Gold opened at 233, but soon broke and fell TO
227I. From this point il rose to 23Oa, and again
broke TO 22sl The closing price WIS 229I, after
selling at 233 and OH 1t was expected that lead
ing operator would be forced to buy to meet con-
tmcts. Instead of this, gold for immediate deliv-
cry was very abundant III all DIRECTIONS.
Government stocks continue in demand by pub
lie and private sale. The '.3Os, collaborating, have
fallen TO ll5l, and il is understood that the sharp
brokers engaged in attempting TO make them as
good as gold" have sold out. Thelegal gentry who
took the case on Speculation have not been so
prompt. Railroad shares are duh and steadily
pressed for sale in the face of an excessive supply
Of money and favorable reports of earnings. Pro-
tracted speculation and high prices have drawn
large amounts of stocks TO the Atlantic cities where
they are held by brokers and professional spec
ailatOrs, waiting for new crop OF creduious
sbuyers for rise' who prove slow in coming The
outside public has been loaded with gold, copper,
and petroleum stocks TO such an extent that ready
money is much less abundant "ortside, and oper-
asors more cautions. AT the public Board the busi-
ness vas very small. At the Second Board the
market was irregular; Governments were strong;
Cleveland and Pittsburgh and Rock Island were
frmer bnt the buying was upon limited scale.
Money is plenty on call at Z per cent. Stock
commission houses are unable to use half their Of
ferngs and as rule prefer idleness TO new engage
ments at present. The impression daily spreads
that the Treasury Department will demand thorough
taxation and not only stop manufacturing paper
money, but sdopt plan for the steady contraction
of the circulation now in use. No other safe
course is left, If the past is any guide for
the future. The "Pnces Current" are the best
commentary as to the effects OF manufacturing pa
Der money. The present amount is enormous and
dangerous, and alarms all prudent people who pre-
fer any taxes to the remission Of due-bils called
money. The present giut is caused by the feeling
that the Government intends 10 tar and bpy n0aey
when taxes fall short. 1t is this which checks
speculation in all drcctions but the moment more
illegal tenders or due-bills are limited at by the
Government speculation will be renewed, and "a
scramble made to be rid OF money" daily depre-
ciated by additions TO its amount. In commercial
paper little is done at 1910 y cent.

DAYS; and IlO5 for days; and for Francs, 5.0ss a
