NEW YORK. May &C..
The Commercials article says at the price for old
bankers Bonds were offered at 1911, but subse-
quently brought 1919 The prices appear to be suso
tanned by the purchases of brokers' The issue of 1862
declined at the board and the issues of 1864 and 65
J. Gold is excited the active foreign movement
and the continued untavorable advices from Europe
The Assistant Treasurer is seller at the best price
over 1870, and this supply has checked the advancing
tendency, which would probably have produced more
violent huctuatio than has been experienced for
sometime past. Those who have gone long in gold
are loud in their condemnation of the action Of the
Treasury Department. Money is drug upon the
market Small loans are made at per cent Elk
change nominal.
