review OF the financial and commercial events
Of the past week furnishes no reason to modify
the encour aging expressions concerning the future
OF business that have recently found utterancc IN
this column. From nearly all trade circles there
come reports of better feeling and some improve
ment, the chief drawback ana disturbing element
being the existing doubt with reference to the
currency question and the changeable price Of
gold. While the latter may be caused TO 1uctuate
from week to week by mere reports from
Washington, there Is not likely to be much
stability in either calculations or results
Business may therefore reflect the uncertainty
that must attach to the value Of currency as long
as the question OF specie resumption remains un-
settled. It Is, however, generally believed among
those who are best advised In the matter that
Congress will not, during tho present session.
reach a solution OF the problem, and hence that
merchants need not be deferred In making their
usual ventures.
we have reports that shipments to the interior
are increasing, and that surplus stocks Of goods
are being rapidly worked on at moderate prices.
in the DRY goods trade 1t Is especially OBJ
served that q steadier undertone prevails than
heretofore, aud that tine fact Is more
or less due to the apparent determination
OF buyers to limit their purchases only to actual
requirements thus at once narrowing down the
possibilities OF loss and increasing the probabili.

Of the commercial situation falr business Is ex-

and currency and the effect likely to be produced

THE MONEY MARKET.

shall witness higher and steadier prices During
the greater part Of the week the market was
easy at and per cent for call loans, but
at the close was nrm at S, with exceptional
transactions as high as per cent. The In.
huence OF the bank statement has not been in.
considerable in producing this effect The out
now of currency from this point, however, has
been somewhat checked. nrmcr feeling, with
an upward tendency in rates, Is also observable in
the discount market. Dry goods paper sells at

for four months, Tor double named; sim
gle named e,z 7 for sixty days and

is 54 per cent ior double named sixty

In foreign exchange business was dull and prices
weaker until near the close, when actual business
was nearly up TO the basis OF the nominal quota
tions that have ruled for several days. viz. :-4s5X
for long and 494 for demand sterling. It is to be
noted that the importers bought sparingly.
The foreign exports OF the port for the week
were as foows:--Generai merchandise imports,
including dry goods, $5,5al35s produce ex-
ports $4,103,o14, and specie exports. $2,774,9oo.

THE MOVEMENT IN GOLD
was erratic, and yet not surprising to those who
are behind the scenes. Early In the week the
price declined to 1loh, the result being ascribed
to large speculative sales, but reaction followed
consequent upon the heavy explorations which
continue, and at the close the price again reached
