Gold closes al 1881. The supply OF cash gold is
better and II s understood that soue large lots
were covered by purchase Of coin from the Sub
Treasury.
Government Stocks continue fru, and more
business doing. Bank shares are in request, but
She miscellaneous share list and the bond list arc as
dull asever. Atlantic Mail rose u PER cent. Pa
olfc NAL is steady and little offered. The Railway
share list shows 10 change and is wholly controlled
by spectators, brokers and street operators. There
is no investment demand and the speculative spirit
is decreasing steadily. Quicksilver Mining Com
Iany sold as high as 43. The firulness in gold min
ing stocks continues and in some higher rates
have been paid. The latest quotations were:

The proposition of the Controller Of the
Currency to add slCO,0OO,OOO Of capital to the
National Bank scheme is much applauded By al
spectators for rise in commodities and stocks, but
dnds little favor elsewhere. What the country wants
is lesseuuency, and all attempts 10 increasct direct
y or indirectly by Congress should be discouraged
She present law could be amended to advantage by
obliging every bank TO deposit with the Govern
ment ten per cent Of legal tender upon its crcu-
lstion and to keep Is per cent more Of legal money
an their own custody.
The State bank currency is being DESTROYED al
Albany quite rapidly, and at an early day National
bark-nOtes and greenb backs viii be the onlycurencv.

that there is quite disposition 10 hoard green
backs, and that outside of the leading commercial
<enters, they are becoming scarce.
