Stanton's position in the Cabinet con-
tinues to be actively discussed. The Phil
adelphia delegations persist in a demand
for his removal, although they are willing
he shall be let down with a mission to
Madrid or St. Petersburg. Stanton keeps
silent to outsiders as to whether he in
dorses the Philadelphia movement or not.

Weed and Raymond, and that he will be
retained at least until the meeting Of Con-
gress.

Very Important Market Reports.
NRw York, August 24.-The Posts
money article says gold is excited and
scarce, three-quarters and one per cent.
per day being paid for loans.
The Commercials money article says,
the stock market exhibited more strength.
| Government securities are in better de-
mand. The present corner in cash gold is
the most severe ever known in the gold
room. Transactions in Foreign exchange
are checked by the unsettled condition Of
gold, and the demand for large lots for
the purchase of gold has checked the
downward tendency Of money arising
from the large disbursements Of the treas
ury on account of the redemption Of the
temporary loan. 1t is expected that the
treasury will disburse about $50, 900, 900
in currency, but will not sell any of its
specie reserve. Cotton firmer, 33t@34;
Flour dull, and l0@l5c lower; Wheat,
quite firm for prime.
NEW YORK, August 24.-The Posts
money article says: Gold continues scarce
and l per cent. is paid for money on de-
livery. Cotton. steady at 333@34.
Flour, quiet, at l0@l5 lower. Govern
men,s without decided change. Liverpool
freights dull. 1t appears that the Wall
street bankers who lately combined in a
letter asking the Secretary of the Treasury
to sell gold for the relief of the commercial
interest are the very gentlemen who are
cornered on gold and are being bled by
the combination which now controls all
the available gold in the market.
This evenings Commercial says: The
Bull combination can run up the premium
as they please; the exchange market is de-
ranged by the peculiar condition Of gold,
holders of bills being anxious to sell with
out purchasers, because importers are re-
luctant to buy at the present rate Of gold.

sheridan Relieved.
The Tribune has q report that General
Sheridan has been relieved from his COM
mand, and Steadman sent to take his
place.
The Tribune reiterates, editorially, the
charge that S%heridan's dispatches about
the late riot were tempered with before
publications; that dispatches of greater
| importance from him have not been pub
lished at all, and that therefore he has
complained to the President, and fallen
under the Presidents disfavor.
