MONEY AND STOCKS.
The Express says that the chief topic
of conversation in financial circles To-
day was the political situation at
" Washington. Early in the day Mr..
Stewards resignation was reported and
quietly followed by the announcement
This was succeeded by kilograms that
Mr.. Boutwell's chances were slim, and
that Mr.. Stewart had requested the
President to appoint David A. Wells,
coupled with the report that the Presi~
dent asked until tomorrow to consider
the matter, and that the Senate had ad-
iOurned. The latest kilograms reported
great excitement in political circles In
Washington. These varied reports cre-
ated an unsettled feeling here, and gold
huctuated frequently, while operations
in Governments were checked to
great extent, and the most intense in
terest was manifested relative to the
new Cabinet and new Secretary of the
Treasury and his policy. Tue question
of certifying checks by banks for bro.
kers before the funds are in the bank
attracted much attention. The banks
| have not yet received official notitica-
tion of the passage OF the law from the
Comptroller of currency, but many of
them refused to certify to-day, while
others continued the old policy. The
! law is likely to be evaded, as a broker
| in good credit, by keeping two bank
accounts can draw checks from one and
deposit them in the other bank, pro-
vided he makes them good before the
| close of bank hours.

cent, but subsequently, prices once more
recovered from the depression, ana the
latest operations were at about the hlgn,
eat quotations of the day. Rock Island

per cent higher. A rumor that Tue
Legislative Committee would report ~
