Treasury. NEW YORK. GENERAL FEELING. RELIEF. NEW York, Feb.26.—At 1:30 the Sub-Treas. urer had purchased $4,700,000 in bonds. Where rates for call loans to stock brokers were yesterday 1X@1 per cent plus 6 per cent per annuin, they began this morning at £ of 1 per cent plus 6 per cent, and as we write are down to plain 6 per cent on United S tates bonds, and G per cent plus 11-i6 on good stock collateral. Time loans and mer- cantile paper are nominal. The weekly statement of the New York banks is,of course, unfavorable, but muel less so than expected. There have thus far to-day been no deposits at the Sub-Treasury by National banks to give up note circulation. The amount collected on the deposits made yes- terday of checks is §679,500. It looksas if ® the depositing of money for this pun)ose had finally ceased. The stringency of the money market is drawjng money here, not only from London, but considerable amounts are said to be on ' the way from Montreal and neighboring cities like Boston and Philadelphia, The in- dications are now that ‘the crisis has passed, 'so far as the money market is concerned. THE UNITED STATES TREASURY was debtor at the Clearing-House this morns ing in the sum of $3,192,000; which means that the Sub-Treasury on yesterday’s transac- tions paid out this suin in excess of what it took in. Moreover, Sceretary Sherman au- thorized the Assistant Treasurer to pay par and acerued interest for any of the $25,000,~ 000 of bonds included in the 101st eall. Until to-day money for these bonds could only be obtained by sending them to Wash- ington and subuiitting to the tedious delay which that journey involves. To-day’s order of the Secretary, therefore, puts the Treas- ury in the market as a buyer at par and as- crued interest of $35,00),003 of bonds, of which $10,000,000 are uncalled and $25,000,~ 009 called. It may be these bonds will come in slowly, - they being: scattered widely, but withina comparatively short tlme it is a reasonable calculation the Treasury will have paid out as much money as the banks have v'\hl into the 'lrc.lsmy since the Senate passed the Funding bill. THE CILANCES now are said to be against the enactment of the Funding Dill. 1f the Dbill should for any reason fail to become a law, then the banks which have give up circulation will provubly Immediately take it out again, and alfairs Teturn to the condition which existed before the Congressional raid on the banks was bezun. ‘The Treasury would .then continue fo In= rest its surplus revenues in bonds, and the Treasury influence, therefore, would be in’ hmr of easy money. If the uill becomes Iaw, then the banks can no longer, from the day’ of its enactment, gnenuwclrrulanon, and the contraction resulting therefrom would be impossible. .n addition, the l‘re:u- ury would have the rizht toinyv est. $39,000, of"its coin bghmw in maturing 5 and 6 per 2 again, would maxe- the cent bonds. loan market easy. TIE COLLAPSE OF SPECULATION at the Stock Exchange during the week must have reduced prices so that it takes probably $10,000,000 more to carry the Stock Exchange securities than it did a week ago. Look! Es the whole situation over, the conclusion therefore forced that within a few days we shall have an_casier money market than “a c would have if Congress had not raided the banks and broken dowun the Stock Etchangu markets. The blow given to the Stock Ex- change speculs\tmn during the “eek mnst be * regurded b cnzaged in legitimate non- speculative business as wholesome in its fn- fluence, for the reason that it will leave more money and credits for those outslv.(e of the circle of speculation. ABOUT NOON a steadier tone characterized the mzrket, and | it soon became strong, andisso now. Among the buyers are outsiders of means, who uf- ways come down-town after such abreakas that of )e,qtudnv. buy such stocks as they ean pay fur, and take them away. ‘The - weaker class’ of stock brokers, who, rather than pay. the enormous rates for money cur- rent )e:terdn)‘ threw ‘cver their custumers’ stocks, are also among the buyers te-day. Large amounts of stocks are also bei bought for London account. They are no resvid here at an advance, but are exvorted, Giold, to & considerable extent, will be re- turned for them. WALL STTEET AND THE STOCK EXCHANGE were in a whirl of excitementat the opening, but, as the market grew stronger under the impulae of ‘Treasury redemptions, what promised to be a memorable financial panic proved to have been happily averted, at feast for the present. At theciose of business yesterday the street, in the language of a broker, was *on end,” and the many wild Timors circulated foreboded stirriug and ex- citing scenes to-day. Long before the doors of the Stock Exchanze were .opened for business, New and Wall streets, in the - vieinity of the Exchange, were filled with knots of anxious brokers - who discussed the situation in an excited manner. Men from up-town, who rarely visit the - lower regions, were there. —Business-men . who had not speculated in stocks, but wers in want of money, were there. Custowmers were out in force. At the openingo: f the '
