The decrease in specie last week, as compared with
1868. was nine millions. This week, as compared
with last year. 1t is only six millions; SO that whila
the real gain is only million from week TO week
there Is a comparative gain Of three millions. The
easter state of the money market was reflected in
commercial paper, which was discounted at rates
ranging from eight to eleven per cent, while the
banks were doing more for their customers at
seven.
The gold market was excited during the week in
consequence OF the agitation concerning the Ala
bama claims question and that Of Cuban rocognition
and the price advanced to 134; but at this period
the announcement was made that the government
would sell g0ld and there was q decline to 1881 be.
fore the close Of the week. aided by the pacific
character OF foreign relations. The scarcity OF
cash gold enabled holders to exact high borrowing
rates. and as much rs one-sixteenth was frequently
paid for Its use from day to day, while the consdcra
lions for carrying gold were exceptional. The range
OF the price during the week was as follows:-
The New York herald., 1869-04-26
The following are the differences

During the earlier portion OF the week the banks,
with very natural desire to earn the largest
amount Of interest possible, were not urgent in
their pressure OF money to borrowers but the supply
became SO much larger than the demand that they
subsequently freely offered balances at six Der cent
government collateras, particularly on Saturday,
to obtain the two days. interest to Monday. Rates
on call before the actual close Of BANKING hours
on the last day Of the week drifted to
merely nominal rates, under the necessity OF
finding employment for large amounts. Money
was offered as low as two per cent before three
O'Clock, which was the rate on one sum Of
over two hundred thousand dollars rendered in the
government room. Some apprehension Is felt that
the opening Of navigation on the lakes will call for
funds next week. or In the vicinity Of May l. to move

out, and we are glad to say that his
Oarard is n complete success. Captain
Reid is known to the youth of the land,
of both sexes, as n most delightful and
instructive writer. For more than
twenty years they have been reading
his stories, until his name has become q
household word. Such n reputation is
beyond price. This elegant magazine
is published once n month, handsomely
illustrated; containing one hundred and
fifty pages, by C. W. Carleton, Broad

patronage of ladies and families. The
terms, we believe, are three dollars a
year, in advance. A sample copy can
be seen at the News Office.
