\ The gold room was animated at the opening of

the influence of which an advance of about one

With this exception there was the usual dizziness

generally firm, the 5:20s Of 1872 showing little

The Express says
4 In reference to the September money market
the Times tmoney artcle) feels free to say that
The probabilities at present, are in favor of
tinued if not increased ease. We quote:
i The secretary of the treasury will reduce the
| interest if indeed he should not pay off his five
ner cent currency deposits, on ten days notice
on or after September. These deposits amounted
on LIST August TO S6S, 665,469. His four per cent.
gfeenback deposits to the different clearing house
\ banks of New York Boston, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Cincinnati and Chicago, amounted to $780,
GOO 900. These last he will not probably disturb
But his present currency balances in the treasury
and the certainty that his income taxes aside
I from other internal and customs revenues, will be
! very large in August, viii enable him to pay of
all other interest bearing certificates of deposits.
| He cannot, on reasonable terms, command for
payment any other currency obligations, The
compound legal tender notes are not to be had
except at premium of par value and the full ac-
cu1nua ed interest. The $50 % cent. are selling
at los 9 cent and interest. All the treasury cei-
tiicates Of Indebtedness have been paid off. And
beyond these considerations the necessity and ex-
pedenoyof continuing the payment Of 8 % cent.
interest on deposits in the treasury have passed
away. We therefore regard it as almost certain
that the August revenues Of the treasury will en-
able the secretary to give earynotce of his readi-
ness to pay off all suchdeposits, or to reduce the
interest to three per cent.
The quotation Of this day in London of United
States 5,2Osof 1862 was known in Wall street
before 3 o clock. (rhey We're printed in the Elk
press at 2 o'clock and 40 minutes.) This y the
most astonishing Geographic achievement Of q
business character ever recorded between Eng
land and the United States.
PAYBEsT or STOLEN BoSDs General Spinner,
United States treasurer has decided that the only
protection to the owner against the payment Of a
| bond or seven-thirty note that may have been
| stolen is by entering eaveat at the Office of the
| secretary Of the treasury.
Coupons are as negotiable at all times as bank
note, and will be paid in the hands of third party
and bona ide holders even in the case where it is
known that they had been stolen.
