NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

The following extracts show the state Of the New
York money market yesterday
From the Herald ~
even more than their usual summer dulness nottced
BILE not 80 much in the falling of In the amount OF
the dealir gs although these are below the average,
but in the absence OF the excitement 80 usual about
the Stock Exchange, and the general appearance OF
almost idleness as compared with the rush and con-
Snsion of q month aOo To-day did not form an eX-
ception to this condition, at least during the morn
ing and early afternoon hours, although slight
Northumberland after .the second call. The
market opened steady, with moderate activity, at
almost The closing figures OF last night, aud CON
tnued without special features until the first call,
nnctuating within an extremely narrow margin. Az
the first call prices were steady, but succeeding that
a slight Improvement occurred up 10 the period OF
the second call at which most Of the railways were
o fraction higher than In the morning, Pacihc Mail
sympathizing in the advance
"The steadiness Of the general list was shared by
the Governments at the opening, prices on the first
call exhibiting but slight alteration from the closing
figures of last night At the noon CALL upon infOrma-
tion of firm tone in the market on the other side
and a stronger feeling in gold here, there was
marked Improvement which was maintained at

"Gold opened this morning at 1855, and advanced
quickly to y, from which it fell again to n, and
ranged during the greater part OF the day between
these extremes, reaching 1855 at o'clock The
tendency to the higher figure was due in part, be-
sides the heavy shipments Of species, to the para-
mentary crisis in England, which is fraught with the
gravest danger. Cabinet crisis there has
always been sufficient to produce very severe dis
turbance in money circles. We may well then look
with alarm upon the present attitude of the Lords
and Commons as one capable OF producing the most
alicting results The report OF the Gold Exchange
Bank for to-day furnishes the following items:-
Gold cleared, s60 2O3 0O0 gold balances 675
coiR interest s262 O2. The steamer Weser took
with her $3.50 600 III specie and the Missouri $780, 00O
making an aggregate of SS3O000.

The money market worked during the early part
OF the day similarly to yesterday, the rate on call
loans being six per cent on Governments and seven
ON stocks Later, however, owing to the heavy dis
bursements by the Treasury account Of the bonds
purchased yesterday, there q relaxation from
and six towards the close Discounts are also
easier the extreme range being eight to twelve per
cent, with the bulk of business between these
figures"
