and the possibility that trouble may yet arise out
the Virginius complications. exertcd o depressing
effect on both sides Of the Atlantic. IN London,
though Consols were firm. UnitedsStates bonds and
American securities weak and lower, but closed
quiet and steady. Discounts easy in the open
market at Al per cent. and the Bank OF England
made gain of col 900 in bullion to-day. The only
fear that serious difficulty may vet grow out of the
Nirgnus affair seems to come from 4 doubt to
whether. in the present temper of the Span
ish people. the CASTELAR, Government, in
its efforts to carry out in good faith the arrange
ment entered into at Washington may not
be Overthr0wn. in which event our Govern
ment would find it necessary TO take the
matter of redress into its own hands, necessity
which would be generally deprecated. The effect of
the Cuban news here upon stocks was to depress
prices but this was later overcome and quotations
stifened little when il became known that the
ISOLATED banks had gained $4,000 in legal tenders,
holding now S39 $4,000. This and the dispatches
from Washington that the Secretary of the Treasury
would be Obliged to make use of further amount
of the 54OOOOOO order to pay the pensions
due this month"; were made use of to strengthen the
market, and on some sharp buying prices by about
midday were on the ascending scale again.
The market however, while in the main strong, has
been during the day itful. hesitatng one. The
amount of business has been quite up to the average
and the fluctuations comparatively light. The same
stocks which have led the market for some days
past were prominent to-day Western Union, in
which the transactions largest. opened at 7Os,
and after declining to 69i and again advancing to

quite lively during the day, opened at 21i and
closed at 27s. varying only fractonally from those
prices during the day. Rock Island, Toledo and

Money has been in good plenty all day at
per cent on call loan, with gold paid in one or
two isolated cases. The brokers made up their &C

were making down as low 4per cent, the rate re-
acting to and closing at 8. A lively demand is re-
ported for prime mercantile paper and best grades
sold at to 12Gl5 per cent, at which transactions
have been quite large to-day. Government bonds
