Gold has been excited to-day opening at 2O6,
falling TO 2OJ, followed by steady rise to 209 at
3 p. IN. The closing sale was 1851, and the OK
tremes of the day 2O5 d 2O9l. The advance seemed
to be the result Of purchases TO cover short con-
tracts by timid operators, in tho absence Of proc
amation Of peace from Fortress Monroe by the
President. The advance is one Of the spasms at
tending q violent speculation, and there are no Sc
cesh buyers fora permanent rise.
Government stocks are all finer and in demand
The 6s of 1881 are quoted 1891 a lO9i; new 5-2os,
Iosl old, 1901 1899; and lo-iOs, l0l bid The or
ganzation to sell 1905 is nearly perfected, and large
orders have already been received, estimated up to
D. m. at &, OOO,0 600. At the board stocks were
steady, and in several cases higher, followed by
reaction at the close Of the call. At the second
board prices were higher, and upon the advance
large amount Of stock was sold by the bears. The
feature OF the day was Cumberland Coal, OF which
,O0 shares were sold at tho first hoard. causing
decline of only I per cent. At the second board
the price was 49, seller 80 and the sales 100 shares
Late in the day stocks lower, aId pressed for
sale at the quotations. The advance in gold and
remote prospect Of peace was not sufficient 10 sus
tain prices.
Money is abundant at 6 and Z per cent on call,
md large balances remain unemployed among stock
houses In commercial bills no change.
Exchange is abundant, and the spasmodic advance
in gold has not put up rates. As strong bills as are
mado can be had at l09Sl09i, though leading draw
ers continue to ask high rates.
