Weekly New York Market Review.
/ NEW YORK, Oct. ~.
Editors Of Journal;
The decline Of Gold last week has, 10 some
extent, interfered with general trade; not
witnstanding this transactions have been
respectable, and the feeling cheerful.
During the week under review, Gold de-
elined from 1881, on Monday, 10 1861, at
| which 10 closed on Saturday. Last week
the market was agitated by rumors that
the Treasury was selling Gold; bat no sales
have been made that we can hear Of; except
that the Treasury has been redeeming the
Gold Bonds maturing ia 81 and '6s, ana u
Is said that he has bought In some three or
| four millions OF this class OF securities at
about 90 to 92c in gold. This action OF the
Government, with the impending pay
ment of twenty-four millions ON the first
| OF November, has weakened the Gold
premium; but IL is the opinion Of many
that the effect OF the first of November dis
| bursement has been "discounted," and that
| Gold for the present has touched bottom
and 1t may go to confirm this opinion 10
note that this morning Gold has held
hrm at Saturdays price. The movement
of specie, either 10 or from Europe, is al
most suspended. From California the re-
eeipts last week were about one and a half
millions.
MONEY MARKEF-There is a greater de-
mand for loans, and rates are rather high
er. The supply is for the present ample,
and rates vary from to 2 per cent. for call
loans and good Endorsed bills. 1t is thought
by many, that in order to "move the
crops" ia the West and South, a greater
demand must occur for money, and care
full merchants are making themselves
easy. The imports for the week are S.

The exports las week ARE valued at s2,2s5,-
40, against s2,tr2,666 the previous week.
