Despatch to The EUening Telegraph, &c EshBNSV
NEW YORK, May 29.-Gold opened at 140 this morn
ing, and after touching 14Oh fell off to 1899. The
policy of Secretary Boutwell--st weighs heavily on
the market, but the improvement in the exchange
market is opposing force andsthus far stronger
one.
Borrowers of gold on currency collateral seem to
be rather on the increase, which is reflective OF a
further addition to the short interest. The large
amount of gold cleared, too from day to day at the
Gold Exchange Bank shows that the short interest is
becoming very large. The cearings yesterday were
s118 oOO and this is scarcely than the daily
average for the last two weeks. The market at this
moment is 1899 bid.
The stock market is activelo-day, with slight ad-
vance on the majority of stocks and slight decrease
in the quotations of few.
