MOney-To-day's market was a most i'm
poFtant one in the national credit. The 1881
bonds, or the "lOng SKIES. sold al liT7 "a lis.
at the same time gold was at these figures
thus making par IN gold The 81 bonds We're
among the trst issued after the breaking out
OF the war, and the money realized from
their sale equipped the first army put in the
field, and also enabled the Government 10
aise an important navy, to at least make
show of Dloekading the Southern ports. The
decline in gold to-day to the lowest point
since september -, l6G2 was one of the
prominent features OF Wall street. In the
gOldrOom to-day IL was the most difficult
matter to find single seller, and the indica-
tons were certainly in favor of another
stampede to sell gold short. The great de-
mand in Europe for American securities
seems the basis for this strong bear feeling in
the gold market Money is easy at 4G6 per
cent. Stirling dull at = $685.. Gold lower: in
