New York Money Market.
New YORK, Nov. 22.-Wall street has
been the scene of intense excitement this
afternoon, with Northwestern Common as
an absorbing feature. This stock has risen
under the operations of a corner from Csc
to $500, the actual transactions being COM
parativeIy small Money is tight, and
loaned as high as Z per cant. per day, with
most OF the business at Z per cent, closing
az 6s7 per cent. per aunum, with offers after
bank hours at 3a5 per cent. Sterling is
unsettled by the dearness Of cash gold;
long is quoted at 6aS4 and short at 81 per
cent. Gold was again cornered to-day. II
opened with decline from 1135 to lib
which was followed by a recovery to 1. 135
after which, under increased activity, il

Ties of certifcation to brokers known to be
withdrawing gold from the market, ant
loans fell to 1892 per cent. to fat. The
clearings were Sl43, 100000. Treasury dis
bursements $349, 900. The engagements O.

Governments are qulet and steady. State
bonds are very dull. The stock market
opened generally frmer, bat with the ex-
ception Of Erie there was gradual and
steady decline to O'Clock, the fall ranging
from ! to g per cent, and the featuLe
being Northwest common, from 98aa to 90
and Pacific Mail from 89f 10 S7a-the d.
cline in the resi- of the list being !62 per
cent. Erie was exceptionally strong and
advanced from 545 to 57t. The whole
market became frmer at the one o'clecl
board, and the early decline was fully re
covered, but late in the day when North
western common advanced from 95 to 200
bid, the general market was heavy and
lower, the corner in Northwestern absorbed
attention and wild excitement prevailed
4 sudden demand for the slack set in abou

up to par, then to SI0l, at which figure
some two thousand shares were purchased
Then under the continued de
nand and small transactions, Their
was an advance of one Pc cent
at time to 112, followed by rise unde

, transaction was made-then IT'S, $50, Isl
: and finally 200. The corner is the close:
/, since that made in Prairie Du Chen, seV
eral years ago. Unless wealthy men wei
short of the stock, it is not probable th
clique would 50 run up the price, as so gres
an advance would cause the suspension
