Financial.
New YORK, March 10.-Phe Commercial
says: The stock market is dali and upon
the whole weak. The speculative interest
Is quiet owing to the absence of outside
| support, and bankers do not appear so
much disposed as of late to take ventures
on their own account. The railroad list
was M@l per cent. lower at the board, ex-
cept New York Central, which advanced
| Hc. The clique movement on Eric appears
to have closed; Michigan Southern is still
and demand there is an active revival of
transactions in Colorado gold stocks, in
which the outside public appear to take
| considerable interest, the improved method
of separating ores having largely increased
the prOductiveness of mining operations.
Gold continues weak. The price has ruled
mostly at 1907, and at the Stock Board a
sale was made at 1291s. The tone of the
market favOrs further decline. Total eX-
| ports of specie for the week amount TO
Sj56, ,2S4; imports nearly $S50000.
The trade in foreign dry goods is still
transacted chiefly at the auction room, and
goods, with few exceptions, sell at heavy
loss to importers. The imports do not yet
show the falling off which has been pre-
| dicted. The receipts for the past week
amount to $3,s9S, 26l, against 81, ,3O9, III for
the same period OF 1865.
