New York Money Market
NEW YORK. March 3l.-Gold opened dull
at lIO4@1IO4, but at the close was strong
with 11Os bid. Governments were buoy
ant; the entire list advanced to per
cent. The Post says a new impetus has
been given the refunding 5-2Os By the en-
listment of active service ofone or two lead
ing dealers in government bonds which Is
the only reason assigned for this decided
change in the market. The inference
which it draws from the action of the lead
ing houses referred to ia that old 5-20s viii
be advanced above par in gold The stock
market opened strong IN Vsnderbuts
shares with the remainder ofthe list steady.
Late in the day the market became buoy
ant. The most active stocks were Terre
Haute, New Jersey Central, n. W., n. Y.
Central, Hudson, and Adams Express. The
latter, though not quite so high in prices,
is very strong. Money easy at per cent.
Indications are that the combination re-
Gently formed have concluded to abandon
their intention of effecting artificial
stringency. Southern securities on last call
were firmer. The chief features of the
list were Virginias and Tennessees. Old
