MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoNEY-Market opened somewhat easier
though still stringent, but towards the close
under the operation OF artificial means and
for the purpose OF assisting current specula-
tions. Greenbacks were again bought and
sold in the long room with large dealings
and frequent fluctuations. In the morning
call ,~Ioans were made at per cent gold to
currency, but before o'clock sales were
made at per cent. currency and commission
or l-l6 to 4 per cent, and after bank hours
1-lS1A per cent. was the rate, the closing
borrowers, however, obtained money early
in the day, and 1t is believed that the future
course of money will be toward increased
ease, unless further artificial means are re-
sorted TO.

sr0CKs-The railway shares during the
ch ief features being the kcw York Central
which opened at 1884 and steadily declined
TO l54H from which 1t rallied to 1851, the
fall was caused by various rumors such as
that Commodore Vanderbilt had met
with an accident while slelghing. which
~ ~ he served on the Company against the
payment OF the interest on the scrip d1Vl-
dcnd and that the Legislature at Albany Is
dend. These rumOIS cannot be VOuched for.
The rest of the list first sympathiSed with
the break in Central, but afterwards became
strong. The Northwestern was III ROOCu de-
mauu in increased earnings OF the road,
while the Michigan Southern and st. Paul
were also nOticeabIY firm. Erie advanced TO
3gL and ROCK Island and Toledo were ac-
tive anu firm. In the afternoon. however, the
market become panicky once more IN re-
Central which sold down tO 1895, while the
balance OF the list fell lC92 per cent. except
Fort Wayne and WaDasn Wh!cn were oniy
are more generally believed. 1t Is said to
have been granted by Judge CordoZo. on ap-
pllcatiOn OF Isaac n. jerks. The market
recovered slightly late in the afternoon, but
finally closed heavy and unsettled. 1t Is
