Ths eoId Room Animated and Actlye-Ef
feet Of Treasury kilograms.

NEW YORK, August 24.-The Gold
Room presented a scene OF animation and
activity throu Ihoat the day, with only an
occasional lull. At the opening the mar
ket started off brilliantly, and rapidly ad-
vauced from l62< TO l73<, and from ~ 70
l73I. Leading brokers, who are accredited
agents of a supposed pool, were nominslly
fierce buyers, but actually large sellers;
through other parties they succeeded in
selling very large amount before the
close At the highest figures, and then left
the market to Itself. This caused a resc-
ton to l7J<, at which point the market
refused 20 Weld further. Here was
crisis for the bulls, who had no idea OF
bidding up the price, and buying back
gold at higher prices. Something had TO
be done 70 shake out the weak bulls and
increase short interest preparatory 20 an
other rise. The Room Was suddenly
treated to a flood OF Washington tele-
Grams TO the effect that the Treasury had
scented all bids for gold to-day, amounting
10 40 O00 600. This threw the Gold Room
into 4 spasul. and for short time there
was an enormous pressure to sell, which
caused a decline TO I63s. Telegrems were
officially denied Rfterward, when the
market started an upward turn till li45s
was touched. Operations were on an
enormous scale, and on last rise IN after
nooR one brokers' firm alone bought
from four to five million dollars. The re-
msrkable feature of the day is that there
was perfect Indifference in regard TO
war news from Europe. Bonds quota
tions from London at close, price steady

ST. GATHERINGS, Canada, August II,
ls7O.-Thinking some of our friends in
Memphis would like to hear from this
beautiful country, where many Of her
citizens are spending the summer, con-
clnded this morning to communicate with
them through the "old APPEAL. H. =.
St GATHERINGS is a very pretty little
citv. of about ten thousand inhabitants,
situated, as many of your readers VIII
know, on the Welland canal and Great
Western railroad, about twelve miles
west from Niagara Falls. Located as 1t
is its water-power from the canal Is not
surpassed. and il is not surprising that II
should be turned to such good purpose,
as is Indicate by the many mills and fac-
tories on its banks. The scenery around
this place is very beautiful, and the air al
ali times pure and invigorating.
At present the place is crowded with
visitors from all parts of the country, in
cludiug many from the South, and not
few from Memphis, including Colonel
Nathan Adams and lady, Mrs. q. Q. At
kipson. Miss Trabue, Mr.. and Miss Tuck,
r. A. Parker and family. New orleans
is also well represented. Colonel WHO.
Williams, of Nashville; DR.. Alexander
Jackson. OF Jackson, Tennessee, besides
many others, whose names cannot now
recollect, are also here.
We have but two good hotels, the
stSteDbenson House." kept BY Beverly
Trucker. and the sWelland House" kept
nv Charles Norton and his good lazy:
They are 5oth full 10 overtiowing, and
many are turned away every day.
Rev. DR.. Ford, II. L. Guion, Captain
Joseph LenOH and others we're here lew
davs since, on a short visit .trom the
asFaUs," They have left us, however, one
of the latter leaving behind him at Sns-
pension Bridge a record of his strategy,
which it will take many years for him 70
forget. You must know that some kinds OF
goods are quite cheap here, owing to our
high import duties, aud many people,
while here. supply themselves with CLOTH
ing. etc. Our friend drove good bargain
in sundry articles, so good, in fact, that
he could not be kept quiet about Il atter
he had passed the border and before he
was out of reach of the custom-house
officers al the bridge. IN his eagerness 70
tell IL, he, without knowing it, told the
whole story to an officer of customs, who
politely requested, and finally compelled,
him TO pay duty on his purchases. i un-
derstand the gentleman has gone East 10
try sea bathing, from the effects OF when
he hopes to recover mis- usual spirits.
We get the Memphis papers pretty reg
Slarly, and thereby are enabled TO keep
posted as to what is going on.
Hoping soon 10 meet ali our friends ~
person, and that We all may have pros

Vour friend. +
