MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoNEY-The market worked very
close up to $50 P. NJ. and stringency
was fully as great as on any previous
day. The rates paid on Governments
were per cent. currency, and COM
missions of 1-16, 81 and Is per cent,
while on stocks the transactions were
at per cent. currency, and commits
sions of 1-l6. 3, 16, X and g per cent.
the latter price being paid quite freely
in New York city. 1t is noticeable
fact that during the morning green
backs were worth Is per cent. premium

buying and selling money on the street
was resumed and therewere some heavy

run up again to an IS per cent, and at
forwards specie was run up again to an

the morning and did not wait AS late as
usual, which accounts for the easing up
at the close, At 4:30 p. NJ. l-16 per cent
was bid for money for tomorrow on
governments, but none was offered un-
der 2 80 per cent.
