The government market was feverish under the
unsettled prices in the Gold Room, but closely sym
pathetic with the course OF the premium. The best
prices were made. curlously enough, when gold was

IL Ii Illegal TO Defnce Silver Con e-Wlaf
the Sub-Trcasury Officers Sny.
An important question has been raised by the re-
cent advertising dodge OF a few business houses in
this ty, which stamped the names Of their firms
upon silver coin and gave 1t IN change customers
when gold fe to Its present low rates. There seems
to be nothing in the laws for the protection OF gold
and silver coin making 1t illegal to stamp or cut
coin SO long as It's weight Is not reduced there
by, the statutes only prohibiting the 'mutation'
ana "debasing" OF coin, and there is doubt that
the mere stamping OF single establishments name
upon piece would not at present affect It's value;
but the to which TINS may be carried involves
o NICE point for the interpreters OF the law decde.
A considerable amount OF silver coin has already
been stamped with advertisements and were this
declared TO be legitimate the whole specie OF the
country would sooner or later become defaced.
During the rebellion an order was issued by the gov
eTnment forbddng the placing OF any advertisement
upon the national nag, and there is no reason why
similar order relation TO cotn may not be gwen by

STOCKS UNSETTLED AND WEAK AT THE CLOSE.
The frmer tone OF the gold market early in the
day resulted in no very important advance IN stocks,
although 1t strengthened the market, In which trans
actions were still moderate in amount. The outside
speculative interest entirely paralyzed by the de-
morallzaton produce by the fluctuations In gold.
The advance In the latter was regarded as simply
natural reaction after so large iai, stimulated as II
was by spectators to ''twst" the smaller dealers
and the public who had rushed IN to sell gold
''short." The great abiding truth remains that the

and Lhe present interference with their operation is
only temporary. The only active stocks were the
Vanderbilt securities Northwest and Lake Shore.
The first mentioned rose to 977s for the stock
and 95X for the scrip on the ofcial advertisement
of four per cent dividend to be paid Apr Is. the
books closing therefor the 10th inst But these
prices not maintained, it became evident to
the street that the inside members Of the New York
Central clique were selling the stock which they
pected the public to take from their hands immedt
atey upon the announcement. But as both stock
and scrip have recently advanced about ten per cent
the aforesaid public began to believe that the divi.
dend OF four per cent was already fully discounted.
Northwest preferred was active under special
manipulation, and was pushed to SsA, from VIII ich

however, was Northwest common which the clique

two days has been taken advantage OF by the
cliques TO sell what stock they could, but they
