THE GOLD MARKET
was stronger at the close than during any day Of
the week, and by the time that the so called "re-

or two per cent higher. But for the high carrying
rates the speculation would be even more active
than at present The following table shows the
changes during the week.

SATURDAY, Jan. 3-6 M.
The trade movement was materially retarded by
the recurrence Of the holidays last week, and busi-
ness was moderate in nearly all the ramihcatons
OF trade. The markets were generally strong,
however, and showed almost an entire recovery
from the late depression. The gold premium ad-
vanced somewhat. and the conviction which has
been growing in the public mind that there
wlll be further innation Of the cur
rency and q consequent advance in the cur
rency value Of merchandise has had q tendency
to cause greater buoyancy and nrmness. The ex-
port movement Of produce continues without inn
portant abatement, and though the railway re-
ceipts OF grain have been heavier the current
winter than ever before the markets have main

from to per cent, and Notwithstanding the in
PREVENTION Of the holidays business was brisk and
on some occasions the sales were large. This was
especially the case on Saturday. A noteworthy
feature of these transactions was the disposition
to deal in the low priced shares, 1t being evident
that some of these promise an advance under
present combinations which they have not en-
joyed for many months In fact, there are fewer
clouds around these securities than there used to
be In the days OF "corners," and to some Of them
there attaches the certainty Of dividends. North

Wabash, c. c. and ]. O., St. Paul-al moved
strongly upward without material reaction, and
at the close maintained the best prices Of the
week. Pacific Mail is likewise coming into prom
inence not more BY reason ofthe reforms that have
been instituted under the new direction but because
the property itself has appreciated In value. Such
are the advices of agents who have been engaged
abroad in investigating the exact condition Of the
