MONEY AND STOCKS.
Money easier. The Commercial says
the week closes with an easy per cent
market. Some of the large stock houses
are trying to borrow for 80 days at
per cent, and commission of Ia2s per
cent. These transactions, we presume,
are made with the view to bridging
over the stringency that usually occurs
in connection with the April quarterly
statement. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that before then Congress will have
adopted the clause in Senator Wilson's
bank bill. providing for retrospective
returns in lieu of the present method of
making statement at fixed periods.
Governments are very active and nigh
or by IsaM per cent. Gold is Is per cent
higher than last night. Stocks are
r1 a6
vanced las per cent.
The great feature in Wall street to-
day, was the activity and buoyancy of
the stock exchange, which resulted in
sharp advance in all the leading se-
curities, especially favorite railroad
shares. The feeling in all directions is
very bullish, and the excitement bids
fair to increase Money is very easy.
Call loans are made at 6a7 per cent
The bank statement is the most 1avora-
BILE for long time. 1tshows decrease
in loans and large increase in specie
deposits and legal tenders, which indi-
Gates continued ease in money.
STERLING-Guiet at 1O92SalO91s.
GoLD-Firm; opened at 1881; closed
at 135Ha1 352s. The ease in money
stimulates purchases for an advance.
GOVERNMENT SToCKs-Active and

increases daily, while there have been
some purchases OF '62S and '61s on Eu-
ropean account. Stock brokers are also

The volume of business in railway
shares has been unusually large and
with one or two short periods during
the day, the market steadily improved
to its close; Pittsburgh was the most
variable, in fact the only weak one on
the list, and ranged between 50 and
SIX, the latter rate having been reach
ed on the report that an injunction was
granted restraining the directors from
acting in any way, and especially from
declaring the dividend. the price ral-
lied to S455s842s at the close OF the mar
ket. All shares closed excited and
strong.
