WALL STREET NOTES.

THE GOLD aRABBERs' GAME-TREAsuRY AT.
FAIRs-DrvIDENDs OF RAILROADS.
There was nothing OF peculiar interest on Wall
street to-day except the general situation, which
was most encouraging to the buyers or STOCKS, the
fluctuations in which viii be found recorded in
the proper column.
THE GOLD MARKET
presented the curious features OF an increase In
the reserves OF the banks and an advance In the
premium at the same time. There is no doubt
that the holders Of coin sold largely Friday and
1t Is the general impression that they TOOK back
their gold at profit OF about threequarers OF one
per cent The merchants were encouraged by the
weakness OF the gold market yesterday to increase
their lines Of short sales, under the impression
that the backbone OF the clique was broken, but
as gold sold at 11e az the close OF the market,
II may well be doubted whether their hypothesis
was correct. The distinct assertion OF Secretary
Bristow 10 q HERALD reporter, that he did not In
tend 10 interfere with Wall street tactics IN any
way, should convince the merchants that their
only hope Is to let the gold erabpers severely
alone buying their coin when they need 1t, with
out reference TO the complications brought about
by the spectators and letting the latter work out
the solution Of their potlco-economc problems
to their own pront or ioss-as the case may be.
