New York Money Market
NEW YORK. April %. Money rose
to Z per cent at one time during the day
but closed firm at 4a5 per cent. Sterling
Exchange was quiet and firm at 4S53a45
for 90 days and ~4SS5a4SSs for sight. Gold
opened at 1874 and closed at I125, being
the two extremes. The rates paid for
carrying ranged from fiat to 4 per cent and
closed at 3 per cent. The CUSTOMS receipts
were $685. OO. The Treasury disburse-
mCnts were $4,000. The clsarinss to-day
were SS0,O0O,0O0. Government bonds closed
weak at a slight decline State bonds were
quiet and nominal. Railroad bonds were
quiet in late dealings with prices a fraction
lower. 4 day Of greater depression with
out a panic has hardly ever been known at
the Stock Exchange. Prices have had very
few rallies and decline has been large,
many stock being as low as before initiation
was talked Of, some Of them nearly down
to figures made during the height of the
panic and when Stock Exchange was closed.
Duringthe last hour of business the stock
market was very unsettled and feverishness
and depression characterized the dealings
The lowest quotations of the day We're gen
orally made: Northwestern common show
ing a decline Of a per cent from the high
NoL DOllL VI TIC ulN. UColCln OAAtAls
Wabash and St. Paul common 3sa3 per
cent; Northwestern preferred, Rock Island
Pacific Mail, Hannibal and st. Joe and
Union Pacific 1aaSt per cent; New York
Central, Lake Shore, OhiOs, Columbus,
ChicagOand Indiana Central, Delaware and
Lackawana and Western and Atlantic and
Pacific showed a decline of over l per cent.
In the final dealings there vas a fractional
recovery from the lowest prices for the
general list. An enormous depreciation in
values was noticed above the deposited
margins of many small spectators and
was consequently a steady stream Of
long stock poured on the market, which
operated against any material recovery.
The temper of speculation is decidedly
bearish, more so than for q long time and
the bull element seems to be completely
demOralized. Wabash, Northwestern COM
mon, Union Pacific and Western Union.

ten and two o'clock to-day amounted to
