New York Money Market
NEW YORK, May 3.-Gold advanced
sharply to- day, but is on the decline. Sc
curities in Tendon sold up to 1873, and closed
firm at 1256l3. Loans were made from
to per cent for carrying. Clearings
Zl,00O,000. Governments firm, and high
er, in sympathy with gold. The stock
mar ket is irregular, Pacific Mail being the
chief feature; the fluctuations in stock are
due to legislation at Albany and Washing
ton; Western Union was quite prominent
in dealings; Northwest, Ere, Ohio's, c. G.
q l. q. and Rock Island were dull and
heavy until near the close, when the market
was firm with better feeling. Money easy
at 465. State bonds dull.

and firm, though some slight changes are
noticeable in the least desirable textures.
Prints of the various makes are hardly so
firm; at least good styles which were selling
at 12c can now be had at 113c, and Dolly
Vardens which were commanding 13c can
be now bought at 1910, but this is owing
more to style and lateness of season rather
than to any other cause. All desirable
fancy prints still command 12c, and good
standards 17ac, while Washington green
and orange cOlors bring 13c Paper cam
bIics have been reduced half cent per
yard by agents, but jobbers have made no
change yet from 1870; perhaps they will to-
morrow or Monday. Cottonades are steady
and in moderate demand only at 32463Tac
for Everett plain, and 35e for farmers and
mechanics. Grain bags in moderate re-
quest, but firm and steady at 35c for Amos
