and Western, TOO. The market closed generally
weak, but o uine better than at the lowest
Hgures.
The chief attraction was the gold market,
which became active and excited at the very COM
meDcement Of business with sales at 1l5si, which
soon advanced to ll6I under the influence part
ly Of clique manipulation, but more especially
because Of the efforts Of the frightened shorts
to cover their contracts. good business was
thus recorded during the morning. and also in
the final trade speculation was active when the
price rose again from 1l57s to llBit the highest
hgures Of the day having been sustained at the
close.
There was a general feeling Of apprehension
and anxiety among the shorts In gold, as also
among the bulls In the stock market, lest the
clique now evidently controlling the price of the
former should, by sudden and sharp adj
vance. precptate disaster and panic as in
the famous September days Of 1859, but this Is
scarcely probable. The losses by the bulls at
that time were too serious to desire petition,

In selling what they did not possess, yet the
management of the Northwestern corner last

being more moderate I'm their pretensions.
movements by the clique which would force
shadow the future plans of this combination
except that higher prices could have been with
out much difficulty recorded.
