! Review OF the Money, Gold, 'Ro1fd,
Stock, and Produce Markets.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
New YoRR, Nov: 30.-During the past week the
money market was stringent, and call loans we're
made ns high as Il per cent per diem, but later
there Was q relaxation, and before the close
| money WAS accessible on call at the legal rates
with exceptional loans lower. The disce,',s
market worked close during the greater r.r 3f
the week at Z per cent fer prime paper, but It
the close an easier feeling prevailed, and there
was more currency for business notes at 10 to Il
per cent. The bank statement is favorable,
as is also considered the news that Secretary
Boutwell, has contracted two millions
Of the new issue Of legal tenders.
The increase in legal tenders here is due to
receipts from Boston and Chicago, though cur
| rency is still flowing to the southwest.
Gold has been generally weak, with decline
from 11S14 to 112S5, closing with steadier feel
ing at lips. The decline has induced q better
mercantile demand for foreign exchange, which
in turn has prevented any marked decline in
rates.
There has been better demand for Investment
| securities, and both Government bonds and rail
way mortgages have advanced,
ily advanced, and prices to-day gener-
ally, were the highest of the week
current this day week range from to per
cent. The greatest advance was in Wells j.
Fargo Express from 80 to 89. The improve
ment otherwise waB most marked in Lake Shore,
Wabash, Union Pacific New York Central, Rock
| Island, Ohios, aud Western Union. Pacific Mail
| Was 9 marked exception to the general frmness,
ings of the week were noted chiefly for activity
and buoyancy in the so-called Vanderbilt shares
Lake Shore, New York Central, Union Pacific
Ohios, and Western Union.
The Northwestern corner frightened many
" bears" and induced q number to
turn "bulls," with g view to retrieve their for
tunes.
The foreign commerce Of the port for the
week was as follows General merchandise i'm
ports, including dry goods, 76,25s, ,692; produce
exports, 772; specie exports, $470, Ill.
The total merchandise imports since January
are six millions in advance Of last year, while
the exports of produce and specie stand almost
the same as last year.
The money market to-day was more active,
with call loans sharp at per cent currency to
per cent gold.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
| was quiet and steady. Gold dull and firm. Gov
| ernn1ent bonds opened with slight decline, but
closed firmer.
sToCEs.
The present depression in Pacific Mail is said
to be the work Of Jay Gould, who wants to COM

western.
