European Shipments of Gold to This Country. : Governnicnt, , Bonds Lower--- Stooks Dall and Fluct- untinge Tho: Produce Markets Moderately Active -~An Advance in Whoat and Byo : —Othor Grain Steady, An Early Dooline in Provistons---All the Markets Close Stronger. FINANCIAL. Governments opened weaker. Tho 46 wera were 1013¢ bid tn New York and Chicago, and 10144 asked in New York, aut 10134 asked in Chicago, ‘Tranaacttons were not Inrce, but dealers report ateady absorption of 4s by the public fn small amounts, Some consldcrablo purchases of the 4s were mate in New York by Chicago dealers at the decline, and the tendency of Weatern investors and bankers {s to buy ot each break. The accounts given at the New York Sub-Treasury and tho Treasury at Wash- ington about the amount atill due the Govern- ment from the Syndicate do wot agree. At the Now York Sub-Treasury It 1s claimed that but $14,000,000 ara due the Government on account ofthe 4 por cent negotiation, and that this amount is divided between two banks. Our Washington correspondent, who has the best factlitics for potting information, re- iterates his atatement of a few dnys ago that the Byndicate etill owea tho Government 645, 000,000, A London dispatch of yesterday says that there fs a good {uveatment demand fn Lon- don for the 4s, and that the 4s are being sold in Jarze amounts for shipmontto this country in place of gold. Foreign exchange was dull, with no variation in rates. Posted rates for sterling were 4825¢@48ty, Actual transactions In Cnt- cago wero at 481 and 483, and in New York were at 4811¢ and 4833¢. Sterling grain bills wera 4785{ and 481, French grain ills were b23}¥, and French bankers? bills were 523g and 5205¢. Sterling rates aro considerably Jower now thao at this time last scar. Bankers in Ubicaco are paylne only 478%{ for sterling grain bills, while in the middle of last August the prica was 4913¢, It was not untit September of lasc year that commercial bills went down to thelr present figure. The autumn supply of bills is larger and earlier this year than last. Another interesting fact fs that gold has been ordered this fall from abroad ata bleher rate of ex- change than usual. The margin in favor of the operation tas been unusually emall. This is due to the apprehensions of monc- tary rirlngency, which bas led to the Importation of large sums of gold to meet tho demand in New York for money. This fs one of the visible results of specie-resumptlon. -1t puts the moncy-market of this country in euch intimate connection with that of Europo that at the first sign of our need their monay comes to ns. Exports of domestic pruduca continue Nberal, thourh the total since Jan. 1 is nat equal to lost year’s business, The total ot New York for last week was 87,082,315, against $6,378,170 the correspandlny week of Inst rear. ‘Thetr aggregate mnce Jan. 1, however, ts but $204,857,703, against $20,062,620 in 1678, and $00,725,510 during 187%. In 1876 they were still lower, being $160,275,000 for the anme pertod as above, The imports since Jan. taro $15,000,000 more in 1870 than in 1878, but ara $19,000.000 Ices than in 1877. Not less’ than 23,000,000 of gold, fn coin and bullion, are en route to New York. In estimat- Jug the probable course of the moucy market, it ust be remembered that the current of gold this way has set in thus carly on tho exports of breadetufts.. The export of cotton nas yet to begin, and will add o great deal to the force of the American demands on Europe for gold. Consols' advanced to 0719-10. The Bank of England lost $120,000 in bullion during tho past weak, and now has a reserve ot 58 7-16 ner cent of its abilities, Tho London Economést notes somo signs of improvement in the business situation tn Englaud, but it is necessary to view these with the utmost caution, na similar signs previously havo been followed by no sub- stantial revival. Chicago bank clearings were $3,000,000. Cur- roncy shipments to the interior aro steady, and currency {Is recelyed every day from New York. Dievounts aro dull, with rates ut 4@6 per cent on call, and 7@8 per cent on tine, Some Cook County Sy solid ut 102. Offers were mndo to sell Cook 5s at 100, soller the year. The feeling of loval dealers is-almost without oxception in favor of lower prices for all deecriptions of city and county bouds. ‘The City of Troy, N,¥., hus sold $100,¢00 5 per ceuts ot 109.15. Cook County 5s and Chicago svat ‘Town 5s are now selling Inthe market at Jn weighing tho effect of the Treasury opcra- fons a34 [tre In the money market, {t must be remeintere! that they amount almoly to un excunnge of 4 per cents for & per cents. The Syndivate banka are acting only as tnterme- Alarica in malting the trade, ‘The. Government fs nelther adding to the toun marked nor taking away froin ft. It ts refunding at a lower rate of foterest. At only one polnt dues the plan of thia acheme not work with perfuct smoothness: all the called bonds haye not. been sent in tor redemption by the holders. If the Syndicate had bound itself to pay tho Governmngut for all the 4a, whether or not all the @alled bonds had come in, they tlzht bo compelled to advance a largo suin temporarily. But this point was fully covered by the agrecmont between the Treasury aud the Syn- - dicate, that the Jutter should be ealted upon for money only so fast o8 It was needed by the former to pay the culled bouds., Under this plan, whatever money is tuken out of the money market by the Government; ja at once sent back. ‘There fs no posalblo way in which the refunding Opcrations can make a tight money market. The amount of called bonds that has nut yot come in for redemption fs about $10,000,000 or $17,000,000, . Of this, it is csttmated usat §13,- 000,000 are held by the National npanks as secu- tity for clreulation. ‘ Stocks opencd weak, but subsequently ad- vanced, and closed steady, The greater conti- dence about the movey market is making itself folt in Wall street. Tha lato drop was due to the want of confidence of money-lenders in tha roling high pric One of the Wall-struet banks called fa $4,000,000 of Sts stock loans before thu break, on the ground that the market was too high to be safe, The shoking down prices baye ad hes renewed tho desire to buy,.and in Chi- cago aud New York there is more buying than welling. Operators aro beginning to think tt is near the polutto “take hold"! again, and they are buying, thouzh moderately, on every break.
