The disbursements Of coin interest to-day
amounted to s12s, 1856.
The market for foreign exchange was again with
out regular quotations, the buyers having 1t their
own way ana obtaining bills out OF second hands at
large concessions on the market rates. Prime bank
ers' sixty day bills were sold as low as 1854 ana
1885, although the nominal quotation was 1o9 The
range OF sight was from 1921 loa9s nominay, but
concessions were also made in this grade of bills
where the seller wished cash gold Until the excite
ment leaves the gold market rates cannot be def
nitely quoted.
The money market was active in the earlier hours
OF business, and the bulk of transactions was at
seven per cent. Borrowers were rendered uneasy
by the movements in the Gold Room and manifested
. desire to make their engagements in good ttme
After two O'Clock, however the demand was sat-
1sfed, and lenders were seeking employment for
their funds ut six per cent These rates apply more
particularly TO loans call with pledge of miscel
laneous stock colaterals; for the offerings on gov
ernmenis were as they have been for long time at
six per cent Much concern Is still exhibited as to
the course which money win take during the fall
That money Is yet abundant IN the city there is
every sign. IL is only the expanded character
OF speculation which keeps up the demand for 1t at
six to seven per cent. The drain to the Wesr while
deferred by the lateness OF the crops will also be
less early this year, from the fact that during the
cent low tarl OF railway freIghts the Western
chants were heavy buyers Of goods here Those
who happened near the railway depots few weeks
since, aud just before the companies settled their
quarrel, will remember the swarm OF drays and
wagons loaded with merchandise bought at 80 favor
able time. The money for these goods will 60 to
offset the first demand for funds to move the crops
Europe has also taken large quantities Of bonds
and set free vast amounts OF capital which had been
locked up in them. Commercial paper was dull at
nine TO Twelve per cent discount
IL fs rather difficult to characterize the govern
ment market today for the that, despite the
advance In gold, prices were unsettled and nuctn.
Ating American securities abroad were reported
steady at fractional Decline but the prospect Of an
Of the national debt by Of the
Indebtedness Of Cuba to Spain and the apprehen-
sions OF stringent money were disturbing innu.

Southern securities were without special feature,
but prices acted less sympathetlcaly with the gen.
eral STOCK market than usually The changes in the
list were few, but in favor Of holders
The beasiah feeling IN the stock market was quite
general in the early portion OF the day, and some
Of the list was persistent up 10 the close In the
afternoon however, some of the miscellaneous
shares and the Western railways changed their course
and became active and strong. The sales, as far
~ 1t was possible to Judge, were OF 'fong"
stock which the holders who were probably 'strad-
ding" gold in 'short'' speculation, were compel
led to throw overheard. The Vanderbilt shares
broke in the afternoon, Central going Off 10 204l and
Hudson River to 1884, either through q scoop" or
from another deferment of or misunderstanding on
the subject Of consolidation. The latter Is very pro-
baby the secret Of the trouble. The Northwestern
stocks were again bufeted about between the rival
parties for and against them Erie went of to 33h,
but recovered to 34h. The following shows the
