Financial Matters.
NEW York, Oct. l5-The Commercials
money article says: The gold market open
ed firm at 1887, with an apparent buoyant
feeling among the bulls. Subsequently a
rumor got into the room that 5-20s were
reported firm in London to-day at "a,
which, though undoubtedly false, had the
effect of checking the buOyancy. At the
same time one of the largest Wall street
dealers in Governments was heavy seller
OF gold, and his sales being imputed to an
order on the part of the Treasurer, to anti
cipate the November interest, the price fell
rapidly to 1907. Gold has been loaned fiat
at 1872 per cent. per diem. Money con-
tinues easy at to per cent. on call, the
| large amount of transactions being done at
the lower rate. Discounts are compare
lively quiet at to per cent. for prime
names. The stock market opens with re-
newed tirmness. The numbers on the bull
side have augmented, and those who have
| committed themselves to the bear side ap-
pear anxious to get out of their converts.

the list was bearing principal, the activity
being in Hudson River, Reading, Michigan
Southern, Northwestern and Rock Island.

| improved quotations for 5-20s from Lon
don, as the result of the contradiction of
the Philadelphia Ledger canard.
Dry Goods Market.
! New YORK, Oct. l5.-The Dry Goods
market opens very unsettled and irregular.
Buyers hold out of the market in hopes of a
break OF prices, which the profess to ex-
pect, and which the continued dullness
would seem to suggest, but the continued
advance in the raw material and the fact
that spinners have pretty well stocked
their mills at the high prices, gives good
degree of tirmness to holders of goods, and
precludes any prospect of decline so long
as cotton continues high. The leading
makers of heavy goods are in very light
stocks, and as long as this remains so there
is nothing to compel change. The follow
ing is list of jObbers' prices: Brown Sheet
