Sale of Gold
NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-The Assistant
Treasurer received proposals for the pur-
chase of 81, COO, 900 in gold. The total
amount bid for was 81, S37 800, chiefly a;
prices below lnarke. rates. He accepted
bids for $4,000, 900, the prices I1n4l"g be-
tween 1343 and 1874. The EEpress says
the day closed up quietly in Wall and
Broad streets. Everything now wears a
calmer aspect. Many banks were throwing
out checks on the Gold Exchange Bank,
and some banks were served with %injunc-
tions and legal notifications against paying
checks paid into the Gold Exchange Bank
yesterday. These checks, however, were
certified, and came regularly through the
custom house this morning, and of course
had to be recognized. The tardy action
of the Gold Exchange Bank, whereby the
whole street was thrown into confusion,
and business almost brought to a dead
lock, is severely criticised. In this emer-
gency It'll fortunate that Tomorrow is Sun
day, as it will afford rest to the brokers
and time for reflection. Tn re is now
every prospect that the end of the present
dead LEX is approaching, and that very
soon business will resume its natural cur
rent ..
