FRIDAY. Feb. lO-P. u.

Gold opened at 2lli, and fell to 2lOl From this
point il rallied to 2ll, and finally closed ct 2lO5
2ll. The short interest has been reduced materl-
ally, and gold for delivery has been abundant. The
weakness in Exchange damages speculation Tor
sise, and few new engagements are making.
Exchange is weak, and the market quoted by
some buyers as panicky. The prices, as named by
standard houses, are entirely nominal, the street
rates being so much below them as to forbid the
idea of sales except in small amounts TO over-earefu
people. The demand for Government Stocks on
foreign account is large and increasing, and supplies
exchange beyond the wants Of merchants renting
Cor goods, after exhaustng the usual produce bills.
The market for Government Stocks is excited,
and there iso supply Of gold-bearing bonds except
the l0-4Os which have been bought By leading deal
eys freely at 1927. Prominent houses are not anx-
tOus to sell, but pick up all they can get at quo
cations. The difference between the new and old
issues of 5-2Os is decreasing. The old have sold at
llolaIp4 and the new at 1904. The demand for
bonds is much increased by the disposition OF Con-
sress to depend mainly upon taxation and to
abandon the manufacture of paper money. Certih'
Gates are scarce at 9os.
Railway stocks are in demand, and full prices are
paid for the whole list. The amount Of sales is
email, and holders are not disposed to sell. All
stocks are scarce, and money can DO borrowed
easier than any active stock. Cumberland Coal
continues to attract attention, opening at %, SELL
ing at 59 and closing upon the streetat 5sl Prairie
du Chen sold at 43 a Al, and is not offered i'll any
large amount at any price. At the Second Board
