The Rise in Gold.
New York, March 81, II

New York, March 81, 1873.
The excitement In Wall street to-day has
exceeded anything of the kind since Black
Friday. The announcement Of Secretary
Richardson's conservative programme for
April was a relief to the gold operators and
encouraged them to &c forward with their
plans for higher prices. During the morning
the market remained firm and the price
steady but early in the afternoon the demand
for gold increased and the premium advanced
rapidly. At two o'clock Is IL was reached,
the extreme point of the day.-an advance
of one and three. quarters per cent. since
morning, and three and three-quarters during
the month. The rapid upward movement
caused considerable pressure to realize profits
and under the influence of heavy sales the
market reached and closed at Is. It Is re-
ported that Jay Cooke Co., sold at II LIZ
the million and half of gold which they
bought of the Treasury last week at 16 8-6,
a very handsome profit by the transaction,
and that subsequently, under advicos that the
Bank of England will advance its rate Of dis.
count again, bought back all they had sold
and considerable more. Jay Cooke Com
pany, Henry Clews & Company and Rufus
Hatch and all operating for an advance in
gold, and some among them predict that the
price will go to l40 before the present crisis is
over. Stocks have suffered less than might
easily have been anticipated, and so far no
failures have been reported. All of the lead
ing speculative securities have declined sharp
ly, and the great stringency in money aggra-
waited what would otherwise be an exceedingly
critical situation. Business in Pacific Mail,
St. Paul, Western Union and Lake Shore has
been large, but the market was feverish and
unsteady, and at times verging on a panic.
The rates for money have exceeded all pre-
ccdents, and late this afternoon l per cent.
per day, or 365 per cent. year, was extort-
ed by the Shylocks of the street. Private des-
patches from London state that the street
rates of that city this afternoon are four and
a half per cent. or one-half the rates Of the
Bank of England. Governments have held
their own remarkably well to-day, though
weaker, and indicating decline, unless the
advance in gold is checked. In foreign ex-
change nothing has been done, and quota
tons are altogether nominal. Taken alto
gether the financial situation in this city has
| rarely been more critical, OF the develop
ments of the future awaited with greater in
terest. Rumors are current this evening that
one or two heavy brokers are in danger of
collapse to- morrow il there is not a change
for the better, but nothing definite can be as
| certained. The total number of shares trans
ferred on the stock exchange to-day was 3d.
404, or nearly feur times the amount of the
business of Saturday. Sixty-one thousand
shares of Pacific Mail and &c, 000 Of Western
Union changed hands.

EVENING REPORT.

EVENING REPORT.
The situation In financial circles to-day was
marked by less excitement than yesterday, but till
late in the day there was very little improvement
as far as money was concerned. The early loans
were at three.eghths and one-half per cent. per
day and interest. Later in the day the stringency
increased, and during the P. NJ. most of the bust
ness was at fveeigths and three-fourths per cent.
per day. After bank hours the rates eased up, and
loans were made at one eighth and one fourth per
cent. Stronghppeals have been made for assist
ance from the Treasury, and rumors were crculat.
cd during the day hat the Secretary had de os:ted
legal tenders with national bank for the purpose
Of loaning out to ease the money market, and that
he would sell extra gold and buy additional bonds,
leaving the proceeds in the banks. The latest In
formation was that the President before leaving
for New York had a long interview with Secretary
Richardson and that it is reported that $40 600
of legal tenders were placed In the New York sub.
treasury. The reports, though seemingly posses
ssd of some authenticity could not be reliably
confirmed They, however, had marked effect on
the money market late in the day, and occasiened
considerable rise in stocks. No failures an.
