New York Money Aarkot
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The Assistant
Treasurer discussed $4,000. The Customs
receipts to-day were $4,000. Money was
2a3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper Cal
per cent. Sterling exchange was weak at
4S4a4S43 for sixty days, and 4S73a4S7s
for sight; the advance in borrowing rates
for cash gold had a depressing effect on the
exchange market. The imports of dry
goods for the week amounted to $, OlS, 347.
Gold opened at ITO and closed 1lOs, all
the sales of the day having been at these
figures. The borrowing rates were 1-64
per cent. per diem and to per cent. per
annum, loans also were made fiat; at the
close there was some little fear Of squeeze"
in cash gold in future. The elearings
to day were $50, ,0C0. Government
bonds were quiet State bonds were dull
and strong except Tennessee which are
lower. Railroad bonds were active and in
some cases higher. The general unsettling
of stock speculation during the past few
days consequent upon the actual suspen-
sion Of mercantile nrms, added to unbound
ed rumors circulated about well known
houses, has resulted in giving the bear ele-
ment prepOnderance in the market and
further decline took place. To-day the
market opened weak at 5as per cent below
the closing prices of yesterday, and later
made further decline of TAI per cent. As
the day advanced the market improved taa
per cent. Late in the afternoon there was
a general falling of in prices Of sal3 per
cent. and in the last dealings the lowest
quotations Of the day were made. Erie
fell of q per cent. at one time, the decline
being the result Of English Accountants
report given the London Stock Exchange
to-day. The decline at the close was most
marked in Northwestern common, Lake
Shore, Erie Pacific Mail, Western Union,
and Wabash.
The sales at the Stock Exchange between
ten and two O'Clock to-day amounted 20
over 10000 shares, Of which 1900 were
Western Union, 1900 Pacific Mail. So
600 Erie, 81, 600 Lake Shore, $4,000 Union
Pacific, $4,000 Northwestern common, 55,-
600 Wabash, and $4,000 OhiOs.
Another failure is reported to-day but it
is not verified.
