NEW YORK.
The gold market in New York to-day
continued very steady, with but little alte-
ration. The market opened at Sl.3S'4
and closed at 2l.3S 14@$l.3Sl2.
On Monday, the money market OF New
York had resumed its easy condition De-
fore the news of the panic in England.
Call loans were easy at G97 per cent, and
the amount offered to loan was largely IN
excess of the demand. The Treasury was
assisting to increase the ease by redccmlng
compound-interest notes and debt certl1-
Gates as presented.
Government stocks were firm. Prime
sterling bills were Sl.092s9Sl.O912 for
sixty days; prime sight, sl.lO5a4sl.ll.
A member of the House of Representa-
tivcs (Mr. Wilson, of Ohio,) has moved a
congressional inquiry into the gold sales OF
the Treasury, offering on Monday rcsolu-
ton to this effect requiring the Secretary
of the Treasury to make report to Con-
| rrcss of all his transactions i'll gold and
bonds.
Dry GooDs.-Thc New York Worli
quoted by mistake yesterday as the Gtobe)
of Tuesday says: The market for domes-
tic dry goods in this city during the past
week has displayed more activity and
! frmncss in prices than for some time past.
4 number of parties have been buying M
all they could in anticipation of higher
prices. which has tended to reduce mate.
rally the stocks in agents hands. The
market closes active and excited, prices
generally being ten to fifteen per cent
above those at the close Of last week.
The market for foreign dry goods con
tinueS quiet and without any matcria
change in quotations. Leading styles o
dress fabrics continue in request; other
/ grades, however, are dull and neglected
! II is the general opinion that, owing to tho
! panic in the London money market, prices
will decline there, and consequently be
lower on this side Of the Atlantic before
! long.
