Gold and Silver.

Special to the Gazette
New YORK. June ). The stock market
opened strong, mainly owing to heavy buy
ing Of st. Paul for London account. The
latter was the feature of early dealings.
After opening the market became Stagnant
but prices generally were well sustained for
awhile Distillers and cattle feeders were
noticeably strong. Then there was u de-
cline, owing TO reports of further gold ship
ments. Rock Island fell from - to 1044 3.
and Burlington and Quincy from 81 to S6lt {.
Sugar refining company common was
weak. From now until action is taken Oh
the dividend next week all sorts of tiuctua-
tons in this may be looked for.
In the early afternoon the market again
advanced, so that prices were about at yes
terday's closing figures.
Chicago gas was very strong.
The gold taken for export this week up to
this morning amounted to 81, $50 600, and in
addition 81, SOC, 600 was ordered to-day for
shipment tomorrow, making So, $50 900 for
the week, in addition to S500.000 10 be
shipped from Boston this week. This ship
ment will be heavier than any other weeks
except two.
Sterling exchange was weakened both
for long and short bills. At the present
rates and in view of reduction of the Bank
of England'S price for gold, bankers are
unable to see how there is profit in ship
ping gold. The Bank of England received
2l5,0 pounds of god to-day. Money rates
We're very easy in London. A cable an
nounced that owing to the improved bank
reserve, London joint stock banks have re-
Trained from further action. The Bank Of
England will forward gold TO Austria to-
morrow.
Silver was somewhat stronger. A ship
ment of BOB, 600 ounces to London will be
made this week.
Rumors have been circulated recently in
connection with 4 well known banking and
exchange house. II was stated that bills
of exchange drawn by this house We're dis
eliminated against. Diligent inquiry failed
TO reveal any foundation for these state
ments other than this: 1t is said that ever
since the panic of last November the long
calls of certain house have been at 4
slight discount. There seems to be nothing
more than this to give strength to the
rumOr.
Railway bonds were dull and featureless.

New YORK, June 5.-Secretary Foster
had another consultation with numbers of
the banks to-day. The topics discussed
We're the same as on yesterday, the extern
sion of the 4 Z per cent bonds and gold eX-
ports. The secretary is a good listener,
and none Of the gentlemen who had spoken
with him on the subjects could say def
uitely Just what he favored. II is believed
however. that he will recommend extension

brought to bear on Secretary Foster to eX-
