Afterwards om the street the market ‘weakened a fraction. Money has deen a little lees active than it was yester- ay afternoon, but the demand has been moderately brisk at 6 a 6 per cent on-call. Gold has been inactive but firm. The supply of cash ‘was 14254, after which there was an advance of 3, fol- owed by a recession to 142, and s subsequent rise to 148%, the closing quotation in the room being: ‘M42%. One of tho bulls yesterday sold bis gold— ‘smounting-to about a million—and hence one cause of the increaged abundance on the market, To-day, how- ever, be finds he cannot get it back again without ad- vancing the price, feme-of the bears, supposing this ‘movement an indication of weakness, sold short con- ‘idorably, and hence the depression. Several of the * pulls, too, anxious to add to the amount they are carry- dng, lont a portion of their gold, and this equally contri- ‘buted to tho ease of the market. The speculators are, however, of insignificant importance in the market, and either the bulls nor bears are deserving of considera. tion, the legitimate supply and demand and the condition of the public @nances being the true regulators of the market value of gold. ‘The shipment of specie aggregated $52,366, of which the America took $29,520 and the Edinburg $22,846, making ior the woek $208,287.
