In governments there was duller market ana
transactions were devoid Of excitement The teie-
graphic SPECTATORS again tampcred with the wires
or with the cable or with some portion OF the CON-
municatlng agency between New York and London.
The price Of cotton and Of consols and OF stocks
came through unintcrruptedly, but there was no
quotation for bonds, It was not until late in the
day that the intelligence was received OF decline in
London to s21l. Doubtless the fact was suppressed
to enable somebody TO get rid OF bonds In the home
market well to sell 'short" against the effect OF
the news. AT the session OF the government board
to-day it was suggested to employ their own special
agent and send him to London to report correct
" and promptly the prices at the Royal Exchange.
IL Is evident from TINS falling or abroad that the
inaugural OF President Grant, with his suggestion to
nay bonds In gold, has not been sent over by the
cable but must walt the tedious transmission OF the
mails. AT the close OF business in London the prico
had recovered TO s2k; but orders by cable TO buy
were countermanded. while In other quarters II was
stated that the orders were renewed. The 1rmness
IN gold tended to check In measure the yielding
occasloned by the decline abroad. The following
were the closing street quotations ut I'VE O'Clock
