WALL STREET,
TUESDAY April l7-6 p. ".


A variation Of ono per cent in the gold premium
within tho space OF an hour occurrences in
these duh times the finding OF black swan or
Stock Exchange "pigeon" with unplucked plumage.
Nevertheless such fact turned up to-day, when tho
price OF tho precious metal tumblod from 1017s TO
1863. II turns out that the game of brag between
Russia and Turkey is not finished yet and that the
card Of peace may be played after all So apparently,
thinks tho London market, which scores u per cent
better price for consols. and in 81 mpathy, thinks
our own, which lowers tho pricc Of gold. The whole
matter grew out OF the report that the Sultan had
cleaned out his Cabinet; whether by bowstring, Bos-
phorian sack or simple walking ticket'' the cable
does not inform US. II is considered sufh-
Gent that change has taken place, that
warike Pachas have been forced to retire
with their three tails between their legs and
that peace loving substitutes have taken their places
This is the theory based upon kilograms aud acted
upon by the Gold Room The report may be
or It may be not-the London Exchange says "ycs''
by In consols; the Paris bourso says no''
through further tall In rentes A clear chance IS
offered to take your choice-moncy up. Meanwhile
the Stock Exchange, with doors closed to outside in
lucncc 1t not inclined to boil over either
way, short long. There has been good buying
upon tho part OF some prominent spectators and
equally as good selling between tho fluctuations
have been unimporant and the aggregate OF dealings
moderate. At one time the coal stocks and Hannibal
and ST Joseph shares betrayed considerable weakness
although there was some recovery at the close. AS
the OF the market It left the ackals Of
the board who were content with seeming out such
eghths quarters escaped the lions Of speculation
In last weeks fray.
