Gold opened at 1851, sold at 1861, and closed at
1871.
The extreme quotations of the day were 1853 and
1871.
Tho market has been very strong to-day, and the
general feeling appears to be in favor of advance
from present quotations.
| Government bonds were dull and lower, with
very small transactions They are very firmly held,
and desire is shown to make sales at quotations.
The demand for tho 7.3O notes continues to i'm
prove, and the Government is kept in full supply
Of funds by he sales.
The Railway list was dull and heavy. The mar
ket was freely harmonized by the bears on sellers
options, making large differences sixty-day con-
tracts Oh ReadRg the difference was 81 Mich-
gan Southern IL; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 3;
North Western, IL; North Western Preferred, Il.
The market took all the stock offered, and after
the call rallied fraction and closed steady. In the
street the market remains very steady with but
few transactions but NJ desire was shown to press
stocks for sale. Quicksilver has been very heavy
and declined to so Oh large sales reports that nc
dividend will be paid in July; Cumberland Coal and
Canton were strong; Atlantic Mail advanced TO l5o

buy for an advance, but there is a steady demand
for diyidend-paying shares and large amounts OF
stock have been taken from the street by parties
who are satisfied that they arethe cheapest securities
in the market and at the prices they are now selling
at of paying larger interest than any State
or National bonds now in the market. Their busi-
ness continues largely in Of last year and ft
the present show no symptoms of falling The

Money has been moro active to-day, but at 8 per
cent all borrowers were fully supplied with good
many transactions at 5 per cent The Treasury
Department has been drawing moderately on the
National Banks for the last ten days, and have
drawn dom their balances to about e;gh. millions.
The report industriousy circulated in the street
that draft foI fifteen millions had been made for
to-day, was without foundation, as the Government
Will do nothing to discourage the salo OF tie loan
or disturb The current of legitimate business. The
ruor tina. is circulated by tho bears that the Gov
eminent Will attempt to return to specie payments
IN July is absurd on its face, for the next four
months VIII DC III E'NNANb wi ~
their homes and until that is done, and the receipts
Of tho internal revenue exceed the expenses OF the
Government 1t will be impossible TO withdraw
dollar Of currency. At the present moment q large
army is being equipped for Texas, and the expenses
Of the Government cannot be immediately reduced
to anything Ike its receipts, and the entire balance
OF the loan now ON the market will be sold before
any successful attempt be- made to curtail the
currency.
