Governments opened quite buoyantly, the London
rrice-S37s-belng very satisfactory 62's sold up to
Il9a4 and CTS at ia These figures brought out
sellers especially as the money market was not so
easy as it was expected it would be four days after
April l. An unsettled feeling ensued under which
the market suffered a relapse, the currency bonds
being noticeably weak. The following were the
closing street quotations towards five O'Clock this
eyening:-Uned States skies, 1881, registered,

The reaction in foreign exchange which began on
Saturday last was still decided to-day, early
transactions being 4 higher and rates closing
"a better for the day. The bankers are more san
gune OF market for their bills and hence advanced
their quotations 1t Is thought that the course OF
the Bank OF England in raising its discount figure
will erectually prevent gold shipments this way,
while further advance, from four to five per cent
at the meeting OF the directors on Thursday next, is
not altogether improbable. The range OF quotations
to-day was as follows:-Sterling, sixty days com.
mercial, 1914 lo7a4; good to prime bankers, 1919

Southern securities were reflective OF the general
animation pervadlng the street and were higher In
quotations, though on the whole the number OF
transactions limited and confined to the stocks
OF the more prominent southern States. Registered
virgInias were heavy and lower. with pressure to
sell North Carollnas, new pressed for sale on
account OF the absence OF any movement to pay the
accrued interest, but this delay is Just likely as
not. another speculative scheme OF the ring,
among the authorities at Raleigh. There is q better
demand for the Louisiana levee skies account OF
a homo inquiry for investment. Tennessees were
also In request by private purchasers.
The stock market was characterized by great ami
nation After temporary halt in the vicinity OF
the closing prices OF Saturday there was a steady
and strong forward movement which occasioned
rise OF from TO three per cent In the fayorite
speculative shares. New York Central was carried
up to I647S, Pacific Mail to 93, Rock Island to l3lZ
Western Union to s014, Hudson River to l4os, Fort
Wayne 10 l27 and the Northwestern stocks TO s54
ana 90. respectively These prices brought out
Gales not only OF "longn stock, but on speculative
account. Great Interest was again manifested in
New York Centra, which was the subject OF various
rumors; the one generally received being to the
efe hat of
the slate at Albany The "bears, the other hand
predict that the passage OF bill to capitalize the
eighty per certificates VIII not result In so large
rise a. hoped for the effect thereof being already
discounted while the absence or short interest VIII

sell. Albany was again buying to-day, and Mr..
Vanderbilt's brokers were reported to be among
those purchasing Central. Albany oruers have
always been dangerous ones TO brokers 81 here mar
gins were limited, but the unanimity in the feeling
that matters have been arranged sausfac-
torily with the ''rings' lessons the eau
tim OF brokers in the present recurrence Of
