FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

SATURDAY, April 46P N.
The gold market has been very firm to-day, and the
fluctuations were from 1885, to 13SK, the closing
quotation being 1881 1882. The rates paid for
carrying were easier than yesterday, most Of the
loans having been made at about 3-64 but the latest
transactions were at 1-84 per cent. The extreme
range OF the week was from 1895 to 137N. The
gross cearings amounted to $47, ,461 900, the gold
balances to s26s 4Sl and the currency balances to
sas's'oSo' Ihe steamer Europe for Havre, took out
$oos $40 In specie and bullion and the Denmark for
Liverpool, $66, 400, making total of 81 2s1 O52 for
the week. The advance in the premium was due to
the partial abatement Of monetary stringency and
a diminished pressure In consequence to sell
coin Ior cash. Most Of the brokers car
rying securities having previously made their
arrangements Tor money until Monday, there was
very light demand, and although an eighth per cent
was offered to turn stocks dntl Monday during the
forenoon, and seven per cent In coin was paid for
loans there was the usual Saturday change for the
better before three O'clock and the legal rate in cur
rency was accepted by those who had balances to
lend The indications are, however, that the ensuing
week Will open upon renewed stringency. although,
