says
The revRlsion which commenced yesterday
in Wall street ragged during the whole OF this
morning with unabated silence About noon
some sy ymptoms OF TeYiying confidence were
developed. The most important new move
ment at the Stock Exchange is the sudden
fail in certain descriptions OF government Sc
curities.
Gold opened at 2Os, and after slling downto
2GI \, rose 10 203A, closing At 2n9k
The loan market is easy Seven per cent. is
the current rate. We observe more activity
than Yesterday, on account OF the changing or
the loans and the heavy recent sales of various
kinds of securities. CommerciaI paper is not
much in favor The supply is scanty, and the
rate is rag.
The stock market rs still suffering from the
combinations of the bears, who are inJuring
con nfidence, depressing the credit OF government
securities, ana stopping the subscriptions TO the
seven thirty loan by their heavy operations.
Five-twenties have fallen OFT 2}s per cent.
since yesterday, on heavy sales, and tea-for-
ties quoted at 1Uua!0l against lO2 last eve
ming. Certificates which are not beng issued
at present from the Treasury, are IN shor: sup
pIy. and are wanted at 81 =.
Aiter the Board the market was better. At
the close there as less animation.
The Commercial Advertiser says:
The unsettled feeling in the stock market
continues with increased force. At the first
board the de epress ion amounted almost TO panic.
Governments were pressed heavily for sale,
and fl ve- tU en ties, which yesterday afternoon
closed at 1G9H. opened At l074 and closed az
lU62S. q decline from yesterday OF > a: the new
issue fell 2k. Sixes OF iSSl declined !, and
ten forties were offered at TOOk al0l a fSiI OF
g.. The entire list OF railroad and fancy stocks
was lower, except ONO and Mississippi GER
tifiCates, which rOse !.
There is q general disposition on the street 20
unload, under an idea that securities may be
still further deprecated by the arrival Of
| news from the coast, OF n disposition q:
Richmond TO negotiate for peace. How far the
panic may proceed it is impossible 20 forecast;
but it certainly thus far has as little Justitica
| ton in facts as panIcs usually have.
The gold market is excited under combine
ton of rumors relative TO peace negotiations,
the fall OF Wilmin gton, and even of Charles
ton, which, though not believed, tend to shake
confidence and depress prices. There is a large
| amount Of buying on three and tour days op-
| tions, which, however have failed 20 check the
| strong downward tendency. The prevailing
opinion is that the price has not yet come OWN
| to the point required by recent successes, and
| hence there is disposition to " bear' the mar
ket TO below 900.
| The prices opened at 2O6x, advanced 70 2O7x
| and subsequently declined 10 2Ul y in the room,
| Sales are reported outside a. 300. There was
subsequently, a rally at 2O3H.
The n. Y. Evening Express says:
| The money market is disturbed by the further
decline II stocks, and the shifting ofloans cor
| inues. There is nothing doing under per
| cent.
The gold market has been a perfect whirl-
pool of excitement all the morning, and
seggars description. The prices rallied
early III the cay, but afterwards fell of hea-
yily.
The room was filled with rumors, including
the arrival of Stephens At Washington and
Il air at Richmond, the capture OF all the forts
below Wilmington, and further successes on
the part of Sherman. The whole atmosphere
is filed with peace and military success.
