TUESDAY, March 1T. N.
Gold has moved downward to-day quite rapidly,
and there are few signs OF permanent reaction. The
opening rate Was lsil and as high as 1854 was paid
ut noon. From this rate the price steadily dropped
TO 1907 at q p. IN. The next downward turn was
10 III, and closed at lS0l The supply of each gold
is large and its owners not able 20 carry II so
readily. The range for the day has been La 1871.
Government stocks are barely steady. and could
not be sold readily in large amounts at quotations.
The I0-4Os fell 20 ~. For 1905 the demand is
good, and the whole of the present series will soon
be marketed The miscellaneous shares arc steady,
and not pressed for sale. Railway shares are all
lower, and 10 large amounts could be sold at cur
rent rates. Erie is weaker under the semi-offcal
statements Of its condition. Ii is certain that no
dividend can be made al midsummer from earnings,
and that its common shares can expect no further
income in 1865. The decline in merchandise is
bringing stock held by the public upon the market,
and some parcels of Erie, bought at l0oI, have
been closed at $i5 per share loss.
At the Second Board railway shares were lower
and pressed for sale without exception. Late in
the day slight recovery was shown ina few stocks
but there was no disposition 10 buy except to cover
short contracts.
Money on call is abundant al per cent, and stock
houses borrow for their limited wants very readily.
The break in gold makes grocers dry goods, and all
paper based upon merchandise unpopular. Several
failures are announced causedby the decline in good,
and it has become apparent that many suppose large
fortunes are already gone in this direction In view
Of the military situation people out of debt will dc
well TO keep so, and debtors will find it profitable
| to shorten sail as fast as possible.
