THE FOREIGN MARKET.
The London quotations came steady for c0nsols
and strong for United States bonds, the latter
being buoyant and q Il per cent higher, indlcat-
Ing the revival Of the European investment de-
mand for our securities, already referred to last
week, as having begun in Germany. Erie shares
were active and irmer and advanced to 523s. The
new French loan was steady and rentes in Paris
left on at $685.
MONEY EASY
Money was easy and plenty at a lower range of
rates, the working Of the market encouraging the
hopes excited by the relaxation at the close Of the
previous week Of return to monetary ease. The
rate on call ranged as high as "a and interest
early in the day. but declined to per cent before
the close Of banking hours the last quotation being
SAT per cent. The average rate Of the days bust
mess was about per cent coin, which Is equiva-
lent to about per cent currency, terms Wall
street is quite willing to pay particularly just
bankers that the recent stringency in money has
had parallel for persstency and duration in the
HISTORY OF WALL STREET.
Il win be remembered that an estimate Of the
average rate on call for the year 1872 made it as
high as 0 per cent. But for the six months from
the middle OF September, 1872, to the middle OF
March, 1873, the rate would probably be not less
than IL or IA per cent. 1t was six months
Of monetary scarcity without equal in the recol.
lection, as has been said, of the Oldest men of
the street. The absence Of failures and bankrupt.
cies is remarkable proof Of the prosperity of the
community.
Mercantile paper continued nominal, and was
quoted q IL per cent discount for prime names.
Foreign exchange was hrmer, and actual business
was done at rates nearer the asking quotations Of
lhe leading drawers, which remained unaltered.
GOLD DOwN-115A 115A.
The gold market opened strong under an early
ssend-on-' by the clique who gave it a smart up
ward push the moment business began, the price
rising from 1l5K to 115X. Under cover of this
diversion the clique, who had received timely
word Of the buoyancy Of our bonds in the London
market. began selling, the wider knowledge later
IN Of the European dispatches giving the market
IN additional impetus on the downward turn with
the eventual result Of causing q decline to 115A.
The course Of the market is shown In the table -

MONDAY, March 24-6PM.
The trade movement was fair to-day, the gen.
eral merchandise markets evidencing increased
activity, and In some cases business was consum-
mated on higher basis. The cotton market was
fairly active while prices for spot cotton were to
some extent nominal There was q better move
ment in dry goods, both cotton and wOOllen; also
in wool, groceries, &c. At the Produce Exchange
nour remained quiet, while wheat was also quiet,
though firm, especially for prime samples of Spring.
which were wanted 70 some extent at full previous
prices Some were taken for milling, and some were
wanted for shipment, but the demand was checked
by the extreme views Of holders and the
hrmness in freights, steamer room being held
at higher rates. Corn was also frmer, but no bust
ness Of consequence was done, as few were willing
to pay the advanced prices demanded. There was
an increased movement in oats and higher prices
were the natural result. Whiskey was steady at
unchanged prices. Provisions were strong, though
the demand was moderate. Pork was held little
nrmer while lard was salabe at slight advance.
CoFFEE.-The market for Rio was considerably
frmer owing to the favorable construction OF late
kilograms from Rio At late quotations there was
good demand for cargoes but holders declined TO sell.
except at advanced figures Five hundred bags Rio per
Merrimack, 964 bags Rio per Flamstead and
1000 bags Rio per Adelaide-the latter at Bos-
ton-were sold on private terms Other de-
scriptions, without decided change, were quiet We
