MONEY AND STOCKS.
Money easy at 6a7 per cent. on call
loans, with rather more business at six
than for several days. The Toledo d
Wabash Road to-day notified the Stock
Exchange that in thirty days from date
its capital stock will be increased y, ,OOO,-
600. The company intend to appropri-
ate $1,000, 900 for the purchase OF the
Decatur & Illinois Railroads giving
them an AIRLINE to st. Louis; $500, 200
to erect a new elevator at Toledo, and
81 ,900,0 900 to extend the road from
Quincy Vin Hannibal and MaberlY, to
Kansas City.
-Firmer at 996a95S for sixty
days, and 10X for sight; rather more
bonds and bills Offering and taken by
leading bankers to cover their own bills.
GoLD-ExcIted and firmer, and the
recent rapid advance is sustained. The
unfavorable advices from London e1-
cite apprehension. Private dispatches
say money there is active, and though
the Bank of Englsnd has not advanced
its rate, yet outside rates are to 5H
per cent. The price opened at 1875;
advanced to 144N, andi fell to 14315a
1495 at the close. Carrying rates, to
per cent. and 1872 to flat. The mar
ket was wildly excited in the afternoon
under the rumored failure of large
firm in the Brazilian trade, which was
afterwards denied. The final decline
was occasioned by the rumor from
Washington that the Secretary OF
the Treasury has decided to stop
buying bonds, and would cancel the
3 per cent. certificates instead. The
heavy sales of long gold made this P.
NJ, by prominent Bulls, is estimated
at from Sc, ,000. 900 to $40, 600, 900. At the
Treasury sale bids were filed for S2,-
100, 900, and awards were made to Hen
ry Clews q Co., for $50. 900 at 143 II, and
$3.50, 600 at $l43. SO; w. F. Lvermore q
Co., $4,000 at 1880, and $4,000 at
143 81; and Lewis Daniels dE Co., $780,
900 at 1877.
GOVERNMENT SToCKs-HaVe been
firm all day, and prices have again ad-
vanced. In the P. NJ. there were large
Frankfort orders for bonds, and proba-
bly, 2,O00, 900 were taken for shipment,
an evidence that Germany is not ap-
prehensive of financial and political
trouble here.
