Following these the market weakened, and the lowest figures ot the day have since been made. In the money market the ruling rate to stock brokers is 7, although some are supplied at 6, andeven at 5, the last rate being on govern” ment bond eral indications all point to lower rates, That class of mercantile paper which sold last week at 8\a9 sells now at as, and strictly prime sells readily at 7. Gold opened at 113, declined te 11y, and has since returned to 11\,alljy.
