BY the foregoing it would seem that the Treasury
is possession of nearly much coin as 1t held
one year ago, and moro than it possessed in 1873;
but when il is observed that the banks in 1874 re-
ported $40, ia 800 of specie on hand out of the
900, S25, 100 of outstanding certificates, and now
report only SS,Si7OO0 out of the sol 100000
outstanding certificates the idea is suggested that at
this particular time there is on hand in the Sub
Treasure an unusually large amount of outstanding
certificates awaiting cancellation; and as q cOnse-
quence the Treasury actually Owls just so much less
coin than is reported In matter of such vital i'm
portance TO the entire monetary and commercial in
terests Of the whole country information should be
30 specific as to leave room for speculation as to
the amount Of precious metal in the Treasury.
Government bonds have remained firm with only
q moderate business for the week. The decline in
Toonessecs to 49, with subsequent recover to 10
to-y, has been the only feature in the dealings in
State bonds. Railroad bonds have not been active,
and further than recovery in some which had
recently declined, and the usual tirmncss for the
issues of the Pacific roads, call for 10 especial COM
ment. II became quite apparent early in the week
that there had been sudden change of front on the
part of the leading spirits of the Stock Exchange;
and that movement was to be made to advance
prices as indicated In this column in Tuesdays
issue which for a time at least would seem to give
evidence of renewed prosperity. Pacific Mail was
made the leader in this movement, and
after frequent fluctuations, and the pur-
chase and sale of about 100000 shares, or
more than twice the total capital stock, closed with
the week at Az SIS per cent higher than one week
ago The various rumors and reports concerning
this stock, and upon which it was said the upward
movement was based, have been daily published in
THE TRIBUNE, and need not be repeated here. The
most active stock upon the list was Lake Shore
which makes gain for the week of 2os per cent but
the movement upon tho whole list, except Paclhc
Mail and Lake Shore, seemed to drag until the last
,ay of the week. when there was strong tone I'M
parted to nearly the entire list, and the week closed
with prices at the highest, and with cheerful out
look for the early believers. The changes in prices
from last Saturday quotations are as follows: West
