The New York Money Market.

rTOW Gte Ns Il HeTuNt-
''The Comptroller of the Currency has issued cir
cular stating that, IL being apparent that the require
ments of the law relating to the publication of the
reports OF national banks as made TO the Comptro-
Ter Of the Currency not fully understood the fol-
lowing instructions TO banks are published, viz. -
Banks are required to publish their reports
as possible after they are made to the Comptroller
and such publication must be an exact copy OF the
original report omitting only schedules, class6ca-
tons OF loans and discounts, the affidavit OF the
cashier or PRESIDENT attestatiOn OF the directors and
such of the printed items OF resources and liabilities
as remain blank in the report furnished to the
Comptroller.
'1he market for Government bonds was inclined
TO buoyancy at the opening in consequence Of the
improved feeling in consols and Five-twenties at
London and rumOrs that the trouble in Paris was
trining in character after all; but weaker holders
were unwilling to pay the high rates for carrying,
while larger speculatOrs preferred realizing and
lending their money call. The result was yield.
ing OF about One-quarter per cent as compared with
the closing prices of yesterday The struggle against
the decline was aided by reports that Secretary Bout
well was IN town and contemplated buying an addi-
tiOnal million OF bonds weekly.
"Foreign exchange was frmer and advanced,
owing TO the scarcity of bond and commercial bills
and the limited supply Of bankers. The absence of
the former is attributed to the lower price in Lon
don OF American products and securities, while the
foreign houses are cautious about drawing in the
present state OF the market. 1t IL also said that the
scheme OF the gold bulls embraces the purchase OF
bankers bills, which proceeding is certainly a very
shrewd way OF affecting the market. Foreign ex-
change is lever which can be advantageously used
in such circumstances only small advance in it
is requisite to occasion large advance in gold.
Commercial paper was dull and inactive. Makers
are not pressing In their demands-not only because
the season is little too advanced for entering upon
new engagements but because there is an impress
sion that the present strngency in money cannot
last Buyers are equally Indifferent, the present
temporary market. If the market could be quoted
in these times, or If circumstances forced sales the
range OF discount would be probably from to 10 per
cent for prime double acceptaBces.
"The gold market was stronger in sympathy with
the rmer tone to foreign exchange as well as to rr-
mors that the Secretary OF the Treasury would re-
duce the amount OF his weekly gold sales"

AND COMMERCE..
OFFIoE OF THE EVENING TErEeRAPaJ
Saturday. Innn IL la6n


The Money market for the week closed easy, but
all practical purposes, though 1t is suspected that
much of our surplus is being daily transmitted to
New York, where the supply is rather deficient and
the rates are in advance OF those prevailing here.
The demand for money to-day was not so urgent as
it generally is Saturdays but the views OF lenders
quite firm. We quote call loans at ba6 per cent
on Governments and other good collaterals, and dis
counts range between Cos per cent, according to
the credit OF the borrower. There was no meeting
OF the Board OF Brokers to-day, and Third street was
less active than usual
prices since the opening have slightly declined Gold
continues firm and active. The premium opened at
1885, and advanced before noon to 1898.
There was no regular meeting at the Stock Board
to-day hence the transactions were limited. few
shares of Reading Railroad sold at 493g, and Phia-
delpha and Erie Railroad at 33, b30. 37A was the
best bid for Lehigh Navigation

CUBA.
Probable Early Recognition of the Cuban Gov
ernnenL by the United States.
Saws the New York HerdLdS Washington CORES

Probable Early Recognition of the Cuban Gov
ernnenI by the United States.
Says the New FORK HerdlFS Washington cores
pondent OF yesterday
Mr.. Ruiz, Secretary of Mr.. Lemus the Cuban
Envoy, has returned to this city, and since the news
OF the volunteer revolution has been very active and
pressing for the recognition of the Cuban Govern
ment by the United States. He had long interview
yesterday with Secretary Fish, and made some inn
pOrtant disclosures calculated TO hasten favorable
action by our Government Mr.. Ruiz also urged the
Secretary that the opportunity furnished by Dulces
resignation under duress, and the extraordinary
state of affairs resulting from the course pursued by
the volunteers, was the most favorable that could
possibly be presented for enabling the United States
TO promptly recognize the Cubans. He urged that
in point OF fact the Spanish domination In the island
had been terminated, and that beyond question now
whatever il might have been before the Cuban Gov
ernment de tacto was the strongest. The volunteers
were, he said, divided and uncertain while the
patriot government and army were united and
determined on their course Under the circum-
stances therefore, our Government was relieved
from the embanassments in the way OF recog-
milton while Duce supported the Spanish sway
In Cuba. Mr.. Fish conceded that the state OF
affairs now existing in Cuba was anomalous, and
gave an entirely different aspect to the whole
question He promised Mr.. Ruiz to give his sug-
gestons the most careful consideration and atten-
ton, and intimated that he would be prepared with
an answer in the course OF few days. Mr. Ruiz Is
quite sanguine that at last the United States will
concede beigerent rights and formal recognition to
the Cubans The friends and sympathizers OF Cuba
are jublant and from cursing Dulce and the volun-
teers are blessing them for the violence and mad
ness which promise 30 favorably for the patriot
cause. LOOK out for recognition before many days.

thousand persons present.
During the progress OF the meeting the military

panic, which attended with serious conse-

women and children were trampled to the ground
Several lives were lost in the disturbance. The
number of people was so great that barriers had to
