Gold opened at l6dl rose TO 1911 and declined 70
1891. From this point, under demand TO cover
short contracts, tho rate rose to l67i. At3 p IN.
there was a rally to 1901, under reports OF ship
ments in absence Of exchange, followed by break
TO l6i .t4p. m. Tho market is weak and fevensh
There Is no demand outside the circle OF specu-
lator, and the sccesh people act rs though the Re
boHon was upon its last legs, and are fee seie at
any rally, 10 matter how small.
Government stocks are lower, and god-beanng
bonds are offered freely. The steamer has not
brought 90 many orders as WAS expected, and in
their absence there is tsnall inquiry. The old
2os sold as low as IO7 and 0osed at 1851 late in
the day. npon purchases for shipment tomorrow.
In Railway bonds little doing. and small de-
mand. IN Bank shares very limited business
Cumberland Coal opened at 50, sold down to IL,
rallied TO ST. and closed az J2i new and large
short interest has been created, and the stock IS
delivered slowly. Quicksilver f,l TO ~. Maiiposa
fell 20 H. but was soon after in active demand at
10. wthou. sellers. All Railway shares were lower
at the Stock Exchange, but rallied after the call
| al per cent. There arc no buyers but pfsfes-
sional SPECTATORS, and the market is wholly con-
trolled by brokers. At tho Second Board
the advance Of the street was not sustained,
and stocks we're a good deal in excess Of Tho de-
mand. Later in the day tho market was dull and
lower, with no buyers except 10 cover short sales.
At every rally there is a fresh supply of stock
put upon the market BY operators, who see in the
confusion already caused among merchants by the
crash in gold, the seeds of future panic to sell at
such low rates. Tie Rebellion passes out OF
existence rapidly, and those who count upon gold
hating at $50, or any premium which will enable
parties doing business upon credit to saddle
their losses upon the consumers Of goods, reckon
without their host. Buyers Of merchandise act
upon tho conviction that gold is to sell still
lower, and they purchase nothing that they can
do without, q process sure to leave goods unsold,
OF force them TO market at rates equal to the fall
in specie.
Sterling bills are higher in the absence Of orders
| for Government stocks from Europe and tho small
supply Of Merchants bills. The fall in gold stops
10 great extent the export movement. The fol-
lowing are the current quotations: Bankers Ster-
ling 60 days, 1854 100; Bankers Sterling, days,
1905; Merchants Sterling, lO7 lO72i Francs 5.l7i
a5.l5.
Money is moro active at per cont among stock
houses, and no new business is done under legal
rates In commercial paper no change for the bet
ter. More care has been shown to-day in getting
checks certified among stock houses

At the dry goods sales lower prices were made

& Mounts received very bad black eye" No such
wholesale slaughter in this line has been for long
time. The Attendance crushing and the crowd
who witnessed and participated in the sacrifice agreed
IN the opinion that somebody must be going M in bal
LOOM os there Is surely something In the wind. There
plenty Of buyers az the depressed rates few lots
passed and quite number Of duplicates were greedily
