dull with actual business at 4.S05 fO- sixty
days and Asa for demand. Gold opened
at 1I45 and closed at lis, with sales in in
teTim at 114i. The borrowing rates were
1-64a3-64 per cent. per diem, and 2 and
6 per cent. per annum; there were a few
exceptional loans made fiat early in the
day. After clearinghouse hours the Dor
rowing rate advanced to 1 per cent. per

The clearings' to-day were 81, 100000.
The Treasury disbursements for the day
were $4,000. The Customs receipts the
day were $4,000. Government bonds were
dull. Railroad bonds were active. State
bonds were strong, especially for Missouri.
The day mas been an important one in
Wall street, with a feeling Of general bUO-
yancy in financial circles. The proposed
call Of Secretary BristOw for S30,0O0,OO0
Of bonds for the sinking fund added to i'm

Of the National bank circulation issued
under the new currency bill. There will
be no change Of the amount until tO-mOr-

hear compliments for Secretary Bristow.
Instead Of selling gold he has within the
law guarded the sinking fund, and made
possible an increase of S30,OO0,OOO gold in
this market within the next ninety days,
and in addition to the regular and known
disbursements withdrawn legal tenders to
the amount Of so per cent. Of new bank
notes issued. While only carrying out the
law he gives equal satisfaction, and on the
whole we hear regret expressed that Secre-
tary BristOW could not have been in the
Treasury during The time that his present
position was occnpied by Boutwell, and
Richardson. The Stock market was buO-
yant, the dealings have been large and the
advance in price general. The improve
ranged from ! TO 11B. per cent. The lead
ing features were Union Pacific, Pacific
Mail, Northwestern, st. Paul, Rock Island,
Ohios, Hannibal and st. Joseph. The in
vestnIent shares were strong and higher at
and after the second call. The general
market was bUoyant and in most cases the
highest prices Of the day were current.
The rise in prices was caused by the sus-
pension Of L. d. ROudebush, which was
announced shortly after ? o'clock at the
