GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK., July 3l,-Ihe bank of England
advanced its minimum rate of discount this
morning and its weekly statement showed a
small loss in reserve, while $50, 900 were re-
ported Withdrawn from the bank for export,
presumably to South America. In response to
this action everything in London was fat this
morning, including American stocks, in which
there were declines from our list. the figures
extending to over per cent, st. Paul, Louis
vile and Nashville, Norfolk and Western pre-
ferfed, and Atchison, being leaders. Large
gagements Of gold were made in the early morn
ing hour for export, and this market followed
London figures, the first prices being generally
i.dR per cent lower than those of last evening,
while Rock Island was per cent. The market
exhibited little recuperative power and none
of these losses were regained, the only strong
points in the market being sugar refneries and
silver certificates.
The railroad list to-day furnished little fea-
ture to the dealings, although there was con-
siderable animation in both st. Paul and Atchi-
son, which suffered most from London selling.
The most prominent feature OF the market,
however, vas the unusual activity aud decided
strength in silver certificates, which were put
up 2l2 per cent. to 1l3Ia and closed at 1884,.
The business done in them footed up $40, 900
ounces. On the whole the market displayed
stubborn strength, and the bulls are evidently
waiting for matters to settle abroad before max
ing an effort to advance prices any further here.
In the meantime, the bears are laundering the
market as much as they dare, but are not bring
ing out any long stocks. The market finally
closed frmer at something between lowest
prices on a slight rally in the last few minutes.
Railroad bonds dull.
Government bonds quiet but firm.
State bonds dull and featureless
