Government stock, was payable yesterday,
the amount being $l5, 443,4l5; also or
500 900 900 ofthe second issue, the amount
being s3OOO,OOO also on s65, l75 200 Of the
third issue, the amount 1eing nearly two
millions; in the aggregate, 500, 443, AS.
This large sum in gold paid out in New
York and other large cites had its effect
upon the gold market, and together With
rather more pacific news from Europe,
brought it down to sl26ls on Monday
fully So lower than its highest point last
week. Yesterday the Bears were still
masters of the situation. The market
opened at 1861, went up to 127, and closed
at l265s@l26A.

deemed fractional currency amounting to
s22O,7
Fractional currency was printed last

ing to 1862, 800. The amount shipped to

slant, the disbursements and transfers of

s6,699, 1899.

000-a sum that would seem to render fur
Their borrowing at present unnecessary.

NEW YORK BANKS-MONEY.
The deposits in the New York banks
increased from $50, ISL, on the 10th of
March, to 1896, sos, 57S on the 2lst of April.
Money continues easy beyond precedent.
Four to five per cent. were the rates at
which it was freely supplied. The market
was likely still further to be eascd by the
reduction of the rate Of interest on the
temporary deposits with the sub Treasury
to per cent. after the 18th instant. The
movement is conservative, and must prove
satisfactory. As an experiment, these
loans were first authorized by the act OF
25th February, 1S62,sthe amount being
limited to s25, 100000, on which no higher
rate of interest was to be paid than per
cent. On the 18th of March, 1862, $685.
OOO, 900 more were authorized, the interest
being still at 8 per cent. BY the act OF
the 18th of July following, 500, 1000, 900
were fixed as the aggregate, and on
the goth of June, 1864, S150,000,0 900 were
authorized, the rate being then raised
for the first time to per cent. The expe-
dent was resorted to under the pressure OF
financial embarrassment, and large sum
was secured. These loans being no longer
useful, it is reported that Mr.. McCulloch
intends, at as early day as he conve-
niently can, to pay them off altogether,
and TO discontinue the receipt of deposits
on account of the temporary loan, except
those intended for clearing house pur-
poses.
