The New York stock market has again been ex-
cited to-day. more than for some time past The
course of stocks generally has been extremely err
ratio. and vivid fluctuations have taken place.
Erie opened at g. and continued firm at this figure
throughout the eleven o'clock Board after which it
was severely hammered on the street. and declined
to 65M before one o'clock. The severe run on the
stock caused feeling of great distrust among out
side operators and it rapidly declined to G24 at four
p NJ Later in the day it was still further depressed
and at five P. NJ. offered at 6l 1t is generally
understood that large quantities of this stock were
received by the steamer yesterday. which have been
sold to-day without regard to price.
Plttsburg has again attracted considerable atten-
ton. IT sold at 90 on the street before Boards and
advanced to IS at the first call but at eleven o'clock
1t declined to 94H and at half past two sold as low
as 934, after which it became in inordinate demand
and reached 96A at tho last Board. The utmost ex-
element existed in this stock on the street soon af
forwards. and at six o'clock it sold freely at par.
The close corner in this stock is observable from the
fact that it was offered in large quantities 49, seller
thirty by the parties who were bidding IS reg
ular way.
New York Central was very firm. Opening at 96I4
1t closed at $685. having sold at 964 during the morn
ing. Other stocks have presented no special fea-
ture, but generally close at fractional decline from
Saturday evenings quotations
The condition of the whole market is decidedly
critical for the bulls who have for long time had
the market practically under their control There
Is no doubt but what there are many holders who
would gladly realize at present prices but who fear
the effect of the pressure of stocks on the market
State bonds have been more active to-day, and
with the exception of Tennessee's have each adj
vanced since Saturday. Virgna's sold at 68, and
Missouri's at H. while North Cardinals are quoted

Twentes of 1862 reached lO21 in the afternoon, and
those OF 1861 were quoted at 102 Ten-Forties sold
at 95A and Seven-Thirties at 1925
Gold fell off q to Il per cent. from tho closing
price of Saturday. 1t was active, and advanced to
1917 in the evening" after selling before Boards at
1875; its scarcity has entirely subsidized and holders
are content to pay sos cent interest to have it
carried.
The money market has shown increasingseage. call
loans having been negotiated at per cent on first
class colaterals. Outstanding calls at 7 per cent
however, have not been materially disturbed and in
many instances new loans have been made at the
same rate.

than could have been expected The loans have in
creased about "a millions. and the specie line has
increased over millions while the deposits have
decreased 81 millions and the legal tenders nearly
II millions.
