fraction before the close of the sales yes
terday. There have been no reported fail-
ures. and stocks have stood pretty nrln.
In this city, there is not much room Tor
excitement; nothing to feed the tame OF
panic. There is nothing remarkable, there
fore, here-the same quiet that has pre-
vailed for long time continues. We may
apprchend that if war bursts forth in Eu-
rope, check will be put upon most I'M
provements in this country, and the prose
cution of our Covington and Ohio railroad
will be postponed-likewse the canal-for
an indefinite period.

NEW YORK.
The New York gold market opened TINS
morning at l39, and after slight variations
closed at l3s2s9l3S1@.
Money was little more stringent on
Tuesday, and rates of ca u cent. took the
place of 405. The Government, through
the Assistant Treasurer, Mr.. Van Dyck,
rendered much assistance by giving time
in the delivery of gold and payment for 1t,
and in receiving interest obligations OF the
Government in lieu of currency. ms
disposition of the Government helped very
much to rcassure and give ease to the
money market. The amount of gold by
the Cunard steamer on Monday was $1,000
600 and it is anticipated that four or five
millions will go out from New York next
Saturday. 1t is thought that the prompt
transmission of some eight or nine millions
ner week for few weeks will have very
favorable effect on American credit in
Europe, and check the return OF American
securities. The City of New York ana
Bremen, arrived at New York on Tuesday,
brought not large amount OF 3-2O's. The
quotation of 5-20's was reduced 54@l y
cent. on Tuesday.
