DRY GOODS.
There is panic in the print market
again 10 day, and most all the leading
styles are reduced another half cent
per yard. The market is good deal
demornlized to-day, not only on cot
ton, but fine wooden, which have been
selling at sacrifice.
MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoSEY-The market to day is very
irregular. Under the pressing demand
7 per cent. currency to per cent. gold
was freely paid i'll the evening and
later some small balances were loaned
vt 6 per cent. but finally the rate for
call loans was plain at per cent.
There is still an uneasy feeling in the
report as to the future, and many coun-
trV banks are endeavOring to increase
their line OF currency to bridge over
the first of April, the general settling
day among farmers. Rumors OF u
lookup still continue and add to the
general uneasiness. The great Dull
leaders in stocks are apparently more
inclined to assist the downward move
ment than to check the natural course
of affairs on the stringent market. The
bank statement reported favorable and
temporarily caused better feeling or
the street, but this did not last long.
STERLING-Dull at l0S2sal0Sk.
GoLD-Dull but steady; opened at
lSl and closed at 1Slal3l1s, 2a9 per cent.
paid for csrrying and flat to 5 per cent.
for borrowing.
GovERNMENT SToCEs-Dull and low
er; American bankers are doing little
and foreigners are out of market from
difficulty in selling exchange. Cou-

SToCKS-In the forenoon were heavy
and lower which feeling deepcned in
the afternoon to almost panic, with
great animation and excitement under
the sharp pressure to sell, the entire
list declined to 3 per cent, especially
on tho New York Central and Pacific
Mail. The former fell to 1865, and the
latter 10 S71<. There was slight re-
coyery from these figures under the
bank statement but the market closed
very unsettled. Report says a new
combination has been formed to depress
prices, with the view of encouraging
speculatives sales and thereby make
new basis for an upward turn.
