DRY GOODS MARKET.
There is a feeling OF inertia and de-
preston existing in this department OF
trade. The Amoskeag bleached mus
lins are reduced by jobbers to-day, to
15c, which is the most important change
noticeable. The Blackstone are selling
at 1870. being an advance of one-hali
cent. There have been rumors about
failures yesterday and to-day, but the
only one that can be safely mentioned
is that Of II. E. Dibbles & Co., of Broad
way.
MoNRY AND STOCKS.
MoNEY-Active and sharp at Z per
cent. with exceptional transactions at
coin interest. This has occasioned a
Welding in exchange and many prom
inent bulls took advantage of the re-
cent rise to sell largely and are not
lending their money freely, and the
carrying rate for gold being advanced
to 10 per cent, the large owners ofRold
having withdrawn it from the market,
which necessitates the calling in OF a
large amount of loans from stock bro
kers, and herein lies the explanation of
the present activity in money.
STERLING-Heavy at 9N per cent.

81, ,OO0, 900 in bonds.
GoLD-Weakened towards the close
of to day and price opened 1867 and
closed at 1861. Rates paid for carry
ing 5a1O per cent. or 1-32 per day.
GoVERNMENT SToCKs-Are less active
and lower unGSr the increased demand
for money and lower quotations from
London. Prices here and at London
are now about equalized and conse-
quently foreigners are not large buyers.
The Investment movement was healthy
but without any feature. Small bonds
are selling below large ones, as there Is
less buying for reinvestment of inter-
est. Market closed steady.

( SToCKs-A bearish temper prevails In
stocks. Some of the recent bull
cliques were working to break down
the market in order to buy in at lower
figures preparatory to new advance
movement. Among the weaker stocks
during the morning were Northwest
ern, ST. Paul, New York Central and
Fort Wayne, the latter declining 81 per
cent, while the whole market was Ha2
per cent lower; from this there was a
