MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoNEY-The money market, which
had been active and very firm at per
cent, with q commission OF Il to u per
cent, became suddenly easy about 3
o'clock, and the depression gave way
to buoyancy. Tight money vanished
almost in an instant, and low prices
were quickly succeeded by higher ones
in gold, exchange, bonds andstocks. 1t
soon leaked out that advices had been
received from Washington that SeCre-
tary Boutwell, would purchase another
large amount of bonds this week with
a view of easing the market. The
amount was variously stated at from
$4,000, 600 to $40, 100000. The Assistant
Treasurer has no advices in regard to
the matter, and the whole thing may
be canard. It was stated on the street
this afternoon that several officers OF
national banks had been summoned
before the grand jury in relation to the
sharp practice now current in Wall
street. Money was freely loaned at the
close at per cent. currency.
