IN NEW YORK
There were no gold sales to-day, there

and the bears on account of the funeral Of

The New York papers of Thursday con-
tain nothing of especial interest of a
financial character. The shipment of gold
on Wednesday from New York amounted
To g, 1871 400; and it was estimated that
not more than $780, 900 would be shipped
by the steamer Of to-day.
As a specimen of the morality Of the
financial world of New York, it is now
stated that a Mr.. Drew, wealthy capital
list and influential Wall-strcct Spcculator,
is the director of the Erie railroad who has
been specializing in the stocks of that CON-
pany upon some knowledge he had OF the
financial cmbarraSSmentS Of the company.
The papers speak plainly of the conduct Of
this director, and express surprise that the
other sixteen directors would consent to sit
at the same board with a man who was
known to be engaged in spcculations so
damaging to the company
The market for money on Wednesday was
working easy at per cent. United States
stock declined a fraction, the Persia having
brought over some small parcels of five
twentieS.

NATIONAL BANKS.
The recent orders given by the different
heads of departments that disbursing Off
GERS shall remove all public moneys depo-
sited to their credit in national banks to
the United States treasury or sub-treasu-
rics have created quite a rush on the trea-
sury. The clerical force Of the treasurer's
Office was exercised in the most lively man
ner to-day in receiving those transfers, and
two or three lines of disbursing officers and
clerks extended from the counter into the
hall.
