FINANCIAL.-The N. Y Sunday Herald
says Of Saturdays Stock market
The speculative feeling was tame and the
market heavy at the first session of the stock
board, and as compared with the closing prices
at yesterdays board.
Government securities were firm. Five
tweEties Of the old issue sold at 111A, and of
the new at HOY; ten forties were stedy at 100 *.
In the gold room the fluctuations were light,
although the market was some hat pertur bed
by contradictory rumors The amendments
OF Mr.. Stevens to the Internal Revenue bill,
failed to affect the market, as no one interested
crudities becoming law. These provided that
all gold brokers and bullion dealers should pay
a license tax of enc thousand collar; and ten
Fer cent upon the value of all gold bought or
sold by them, and return of such purchases
and sales to be made to the district assessor
within twenty-four hours from the time of
their taking place; in default of which such
brokers or dealers would ba considered guilty
sof misdemeanor and fined five hundred dol.
lars for each offence.
The fluctuations of the premium were limi-
ted to u, and the market was without AMI.

~ The Toronto Globe says the discount OF
four per cent. on American halves and quar-
tiers has driven them out of circulation in
Canals while the smaller coins being taken
at par, are very plenty. They are pushed

be disposed of, and merchants experience
great neon venience from their accumulation
They cannot be deposited at the banks. and so
turned into paper, except at a large discount,

as measure of relief, that a large discount be-

thus drive them out OF circulation.
