The activity and excitement in the New York 90 d
Room yesterday, which had the effect OF sending
gold two per cent, are entirely due to the operators
ON Wall street, as no reason exists for such
mcnt outside the ring. our exports of specie during
the last few weeks have been unusually light, the
market being greatly relieved by the renewed activity
in our foreign trade We do not object so much to the
advance In the gold premium, as this will prove OF
advantage both to farmers and shippers, as well as,
indirectly TO the entire country, but these spas
modic changes tend to disarrange values regulated
invariably by the market price of gold aud thus be-
get uneasness and uncertainty which more than
counterbalance any possible benefit to accrue to
producers Under these circumstances, it is greatly
TO be regretted that these gamblers cannot be
reached by some effective course of legislation.
The current rates both for loans and discounts re-
main without material change.
Gold continues under 'bulln influences in New
YORK, and the sales to-day opened AZ 1862. ad-
yanced subsequently to 1871, and closed at 1889.
Government stocks were dull and prices were
weak.
The Stock market was quiet, hut prices were with
out essential change State loans were but little
sought after The hrst series sold at 104H, and the
war loan at 1905.
