The Commercial says that monetary affairs
are steadily returning TO the condition of
comparative ease in which they were previ-
Gus 70 the late Government Gold operations.
Some Of the banks have withdrawn their
deposits from the Sub-Treasury, while there
is . steady gain Of Currency through re-
ceipts from the West. The street is well
supplied with Money, on call, at 6a7 per
cent, perhaps the p~reponderance of trans
actions being at the lower rate. Discounts
are rather more active. Paper has freer
currency, but at firm rates, prime Bills being
AoAN a. fVo Pc SSA"5 ~ 6SNN w" ~
cent.
1t is impossible 10 conceal the fact that, at
present, the street is loud and unanimous in
It's complaints against the in which
Treasury Gold sales are conducted. The
transactions are made entirely through one
broker, a relative of the heai Of the De-
partment. During the last two weeks about
SIS, 000, 600 Of Gold has been sold n this way
at the ordinary commission of Is per cent.
Such large operations leave a handsome
broke rage, which, it is very naturally felt,
should not be confined 10 any one firm.
Stocks are quiet, except two or thres roads
under clique. Government stocks are quiet
Gold remains steady at about yesterday
Customs demand is moderate.
The anticipation Of over four millions in
terest on Ten fJrties falling due tomorrow,
has its effect upon the premium. 1t open

The Post saws Wall street is more ANNA
ted to-day in consequence of the report,
is extensively believed, that all loan
bills will be made conducive to imitation, and
the temper of Congress is hostile to ell
looking toward contraction Of the
g~reeuback currency. This is Interpreted to
be favorable to higher prices, and Is already
producing its effect in stimulating specuIa-
ZION. 1t IS rumored that the tightuess OF
Money, and the consequent loss OF credit IN
London by some of the leading railway con
may defer for a time the realization
Of some OF the plans proposed by Sir Morton
Peto when in this country, but nothing IS
certainly known.
