New York Money Market
NEW YORK, March 29.-The day, in
Wall street, has been one Of great excite
ment, and wide and frequent fluctuations.
AT the opening Of business there was a
further advance on stocks and gold rose in
consequence Of l per cent. per diem being
exacted for its use. This condition Of the
gold market demcralized foreign exchange
and there was a sharp decline in rates.
Money opened at 4a5 per cent. but advanced
suddenly to Z per cent, and borrowers who
had Overstayed the market were forced to

ton to 7 per cent. interest. The last rates
for money were Z per cent. gold. Outside
of the Stock Exchange, however, money
was Obtainable at 4a5 per cent. Prime
mercantile paper was SAL per cent. Sterl-
ing exchange was lower and unsettled in
consequence Of the gold squeeze. At the
close the nominal asking values we're 40
and 4S3 with actual business al 4.77la4.T IS

Customs receipts for the day were $685.
600. Gold closed at the highest point yet
reached, and was completely in the hands
Of the manipulating pool which has made
the most successful demonstration yet at
tempted since the formation Of the move
meDt. At the opening gold was 1IG3, went
to 116s, reacted TO 1163, rose 70 III and
closed at 116I. The rates paid for borrow
ing range from 30 l per cent. per diem,
closing at : per cent, per cent. was bid

331, 900. The clearings to-day were 500
100000. Government bonds were firm.
Railroad bonds were firm State bonds
were quiet except Missouris and Tennes-
sees which were more active. 1t has been
an extraordinary day at the Stock Ex-
change. There was a fear early in the day
Of the movement in gold and for a short
time the upward speculation in stocks was
staggered. but the feeling Of apprehension
soon disappeared and stock speculation,
under the lead Of Union Pacific, became
more rampant than before. The money
market then began to stifien, and this had
the effect Of driving stocks down. The
business Of the day was without a pre-
cedent in the history Of the Stock Exchange
and will be long remembered for its i'm
mense transactions with fluctuations and
great excitement. Tie most prominent
stock Of the day was Union Pacific, in
which was eentered the greatest activity
and excitement.
The sales at the Stock Exchange between
ten and two O'Clock to-day amounted to
4SS,OOO shares, Of which $1,000 shares were
