Tee Posts financial ar ticle SAYS: In Wal
street and in the Stock Exchange to-day
the leading characte ristic is the extreme
dullness in a general way. Securities are
all firm. The gold sales we're limited to
day, but the market is considerably frmer
not unnatural after the late smart down
ward turn; opening at l12A. the price de-
clined to ll2 and then reached to 1928
Since noon the price has been ll2A. On
gold loans the rates have been fat, l, 9 and
per cent per annum and sixty fourth
until Monday. The foreign exchange mar
| ket is dull, and our remarks of yesterday
are applicable to the present situation. No
gold was taken by to-day's European
| steamers. Only Sis, 900 in silver bars.
The rates of money to day are " % u
cent on call, and 3le as fer prime discounts.
The firmer tone of gold is reflected in the
better quotations OF government bonds,
the gold bearing descriptions being Is q "A
y cent higher at the first board, and in-
proving u q q at the second, and to-day at
the final board. In State bonds, plain skies
of Illinois are up to l02, while old Tennes-
sees advanced to 81. The stock market
opened with unimportant changes as COM

During the week at the Cotton Exchange
business has progressed slowly, and cotton
on the spot has declined lse, with about a
steady tone at the decline, and slight i'm
provement in demand. The speculative
market has been feverish and unsettled,
with much irregularity IN values. Liver.
pool advices were unfavorable. An effort
to bull the market on account Of reported
damage to the crop did not meet with any
success. The total sales were POI 900 bales,
