events Of the day in Wall street were a
little more interesting than Oflaie, although
dullness continues in the Gold Room. The
long expected squeeze in cash gold was in
A0ACNf Gl'4 nNA4UMNA6 rAA4 AA4-AA 4s4I ~
1872 for use. This was a small matter, but
the general fear that gold will be made
still dearer for daily use caused many Of
those short to cover, which caused an ad-
vance to 4 per cent. The events in the
Gold Room had a very GemOraiizing effect
on Sterling exchange, and leading bankers
reduced their rates three times during the
day; the last time to 4.S23 for sixty days
bills and 4S53 for demand. The actual
business, however, was at a decided reduc- |
ton from the asking rates-gOOd bankers
sixty days sterling having sold as low as
4.Sj aud prime demand bills closed at Asa /
4 .4S3. Gold opened at l14s, declined to |
ll43 and afterwards rose TO ll5f, closing az
the highest point Of the day. The rates |
paid for carrying were l to per cent. |
per annum, and 1854 to 1-}2 Of per cent. |
