THURSDAY, March 3o-P. N.

Gold opened at 1904, sold as high as ISL as low
n 1894, and closed at 1911. The newest theory Is
that after Richmond is evacuated, the premium Is
10 advance and remain higher FOR an extended Pc
riod Spasmodc advances vin be shown, whiie
the Rebellion sustains military organization, but
the premium mast steadily fan under release OF
the cotton remaining in the South a restored CON-
merce between the States ond with the world at |
large. Other nations want our agricultural pro-
ducts and manufactures AMI the restored Union
requires in exchange their products, and neither
desire gold, which viii then DO used only in the
settlement of exchanges, which viii probably not
DO against the United States. With peace
assured, Government Stocks are to play
N important part in the exchange. They will 60
abroad in amounts so large to preclude the crea
ton of balances to be paid in COLI, and leave gold
70 be supported by the hone demand. With peace
and reduced Government expenses, the paper
money created during the Rebellion will disappear
into funded debts, and the currency viii return TO
smoderate Volume. The country viii be spared
tae evils of protracted arrangement of its circu-
hating medium, such as has been predicted by his
torical fnanciers" who leave out of their calcula-
tons the last ihalf century, in which lsteam and
the telegraph have performed duties formerly
doomed the sole province OF gold. At present no
heav, balances ere due abroad, and none will be
made sufficient to absorb oar specie and keep it at
shigh premium.
Gold-bearing stocks are fairly steady in the face
Of declining gold and lower prices for commodities
and the general selection of share property There
Ia continued good demand for 1905, the sales Of
the First National Bank reaching 100000. In
lwav and hark IN doin
Parties desiring a currency investment make more
interest by taking 1905 or certificates, and they
have the preference. Railway shares are very ir-
regular. Early in the day az was paid for Erie,
which afterward sold at "A and closed at45l. New.
York Central was largely sold, and as low as 81,
seller go, was rade for large amounts. In some
cases so Y cent deposit was called ard Others 20
y cent The whole list is largely, oversold, and
prices advance upon purchasers TO deliver, and
grow weak again az soon as this want is supplied.
There is no demand of consequence for inyestment,
and until something definite is heard from the
army the market is not likely to be very active in
either direction. Late in the day the market was
steady, OF the quotations Of The Second Board.
Money is abundant at sal per cent on call, with
The ch@ business at Cal per cent. The Assistant
Treasurer is receiving deposts at per cent, with
