WALL STREET, New YORK, September 25.-
Gold dull, opening at llE4, selling up TO us,
and closing at lI45s 10 lI45%. Loans were from
to per cent. for carrying. Clearings, q, 800,
OO0 Government bonds were strong and
higher on more favorable advices from Lon
don, which has brought out q demand from
foreign banks. The purchase of three mill
ions of five-twenties by the Treasury has also
assisted in advancing the prices, Offerings Of
bonds TO the government: S5,lS29O0, at from
ll2 90-l00 to ll3 70-lOO; awards S30O00OO at from
LIZ 9O-i00 to ll3 3Ol00. OF the three millions Of
ive-twenties bought by the Treasury, not a
of itself, shows there is no pressure for money,
and that, thus far, it has been altogether
question between lenders and borrowers of
high or low sales. The stock market opened
quiet and strong, but at the close was heavy
and lower. The active stocks were y 70 rs on
from the highest point OF the day while the
Hannibal and st. Joe, common, declined per
cent. The principal dealings were In the Lake
Shore, Union Pacific, Pacih Mail, Ohios, Wa
bash, New York Central and Northwestern.
The Chicago and Rock Island company has
declared a semi-annual dividend Of four per
cent. The Lake Shore dividend was officially
announced to-day, but does not differ from the
previous statements; the first call of 10 per
cent. is for the Ist of November; the second
call is for the lst of December; thirty days no.
tice will be given of all subsequent calls; the
transfer books were open to-day, to close Octo-
Der 7th. Money is in ample supply at tot
per cent. Advices by cable report an improved
feeling in the London markets. and also say
that the Bank of England discount rate was
not advanced this morning as was expected.

South Carolinas and Tennessees were weak.
