The New York gold room has presented
features OF great interest during the latter part
Of the week, and the premium has now reached
such attitude that outsiders who are chary OF
the investment cannot believe that rates have
yet become stereotTped. The rise in the pre-

enormous specie shipment tomorrow, the eSti-
mates varying from 81 800 900 to 81, 500 900. Th8
$4,000.
The sub-Treasury balances at New York today
were: Gold, $52,S3T ,OI3; currency, k4I,35T ,l8S.
The Sub-Treasurer paid out S67 900 on account
Of interest and 81, ,Ol5,oOo tor bonds. Customs rs-
