GOVERNMENTS STR oN0.


The government market was strong and steady,
particularly IN the forenoon Late In the day there
was some disposition to accept the profits OF the
cent advance, and the bidding prices of the morning
became the asking prices Of the afternoon. Other
wise prices were steady on the basis Of 100 for the

STOCKS STRONG AND ACTIVE.
The stock market was very steady and quite
active during the boards; and, until late In the
afternoon, when, upon a sudden inquiry, following
the closing easness Of the money market, prices
suddenly improved x a 1s per cent. Ohio and Mis-.

MONEY SIX TO SEVEN PER CENT.
The relaxation IN money continues, and seven per
cent was almost the exceptional rate to day, and
was paid either very early or upon inferIsr coatc-
rails. The leading stock houses were supplied at six
per cent which was, OF course. the highest figure
among the government dealers.

GOLD sTR0NG-110H 1l11<.
The upward movement In the Gold Room was as-
sisted by large purchases on the part Of several
prominent stock houses, by some of whom the
opinion Is strongly entertained that gold Is a safe
purchase at current quotations. The others, how.
ever are supposed to be operating for higher gold,
with view to depressing STOCKS, In order
TO extrcate certain "bears'' who are in danger OF
being swamped BY the rising tide at the Stock Ex.

but here brought out heavy sales Of long gold and
fell back to Ill. There is little disposition to specu
late for on advance In the premium. 1t is both un.
popular and unsafe The mercantile community are
tired OF the fluctuations Of the markets ana per-
plexties Of business following rise. They know 1t
cannot be permanent and hence will base no calcu.
latlons upon IL. Those who can will, of course,
profit temporarily by any advance. Thus the cotton
and produce exporters were filling orders to-day,
but they know they dare not lay in fresh
stocks on the prospect Of gold remaining at Ill.

Now Bishops Or the Roman Catholic Church.
A telegram from Rome reports that the
Pope on Friday last preconized- officially
proclaimed to the Christian world-the ap-
pointment Of twenty EIGHT new Bishops Of the
Church. The ceremony was performed, as
usual, at the centre of Catholic unity, and
thus becomes known Wrb ct cribs to Chris
tianity. There can be no doubt as to the
Apostolic commission Of the prelates who
have been 30 honored in the future. In the
matter Of their nationality we fiud that nine
teen of the Bishops are Italians and three
Frsnchmen. The Italians will, we presume,
all the Sees which have been so long vacant In
their country. A wonderful change in the
respective conditions Of the Holy See and the
executive power Of France since the day
when Napoleon the First delivered his famous
proposition to Plus the Seventh In the palace
of the Vatican -" Holy Father, you will
hold the keys; will WELD the sword Of St.
Peter" The exile of st. Helena was not per-
