FIRST BOARD.

The New York Posi- Of the afternoon Of
the 9th ult. Gays:
"The transactions in every department
of the Stock Exchange have been large
and excited during the morning. The re-
cent sharp advance in gold to l4455, and
the continued rise in the government bond
and railway share markets for several
months past, has prompted an organized
movement to depress prices in gold, gov.
ernmeut bonds and stocks. This move
ment is represented on the street by pro-
minent and wealthy operator who has been
particularly identified with the rise in stocks
and gold The plan, as reported to
us, was to send delegation to Washington
to induce the Secretary of the Treasury to
withdraw as far as is in his power, the
three per cent. certificates, thereby intlu-
encing the money market here, and to &C.
company this sought-for action of the gov
eminent with vigorous assault on all the
markets. AS yet the Secretary of the
Treasury has made no indication Of what
he intends 10 do, but various reports have
been circulated on the subject. The heavy
sales in all the markets during the
past fsw days have been in accordance
with this plan. What will be the sue
cess of the movement events only can de-
termine. 1t is known that all the
leading railway stocks are under the con!
troll of powerful combinations, who have
carried them through two seasons of Sc
we're monetary stringency; and that in sew
eral instances The plans Of the controlling
owners OF the roads are not yet completed,
and they are not thereforeprepared TO part
with their stocks unless compelled 10;
whether or not they can be compelled TO
is the question on which the immediate
future Of The market depends" t.- -44iI
