MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.


NEW YORK, August Is wall Street.
The feature IN the gold market to-day is
the artificial scarcity OF cash gold, for the
use OF which borrowers have been con-
PEELED to pay from 3-32G3-30 per cent.
These high rates have induced many who
were short to cover, which advanced the
price to Ii3H. The closing prics was
1l25x, bid. Clearing we're about So, 900 600.
Governments are strong and advancing;
6s Of 1881 have been particularly strong,
selling up to u97z. Currency So have
taken another upward turn. This feeling
OF strength was caused by the successful
progress OF the new loan. There have
been larger transactions TODAY in Gov
ernments than long time past. Dispatches
nom Philadelphia announce the subscrip-
ton Of over e 000. 900 to tbs new i've per
cent. loan, the same being in the form OF
exchange 5-20's by the national banks. jay

amounts Of 81 .OOO 900 eseb. ana some
smaller lots. and also OF Sl5, ,OOO. 600 OF

In great demand, and that their sales over
the counter to day amounted 70 - Co.,
600. Stocks were active and strong for
Western Union, Pacific Mail and Wa
bash, with good buyers. Pacific Nal was
sold down in consequences Of a statement
published in the morning papers to this
ehsct that the steamer Henry Chauneey
had been lost. The ststsmen. is pro-
nounesd entirely false by the officers Of
the Pacific Mail Company. It was evil
IDENTIFY prepared and palmed on on the
morning papers by spsculatOrs having an
interest in the present Wall street specu-
lstion In stocks. The Pacific Nail Com
pAny are grout to ctfer a reward Of $1,000
for the dissection OF persons responsible
for the uttsranee OF the statement. After
the stocks mentioned the principal deal
ing, were Of the Union Pacific and North

Dry Goods.-The dry goods market
with agents movement is extremely light,
except In grades or styles that are scarce,
but with jobbers It is growing in improve
ment, and q better feeling Is manifested
all around, although selsctions were not
as free as desired. The retail prices OF all
STYLES are maintained with 1rmness, ex-
cept in occasional cases, where Jobbers
sell below agents figures, owing to an
over supply Of certain grades Of cotton.
The following are the most important
changes: Medford brown sheetings ad

advanced to l41zc, Maxwell, I9c; Ports
