e oo FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sarcrpay, Jav. 27-6 P.M. The stock market opened with considerable firmness nd activity this morning, and it developed an improving ‘ondency till near the close of the day, when it became heavy. At the early session of the open board New York Contra} sold at 91% a 9234, Erie 84}, Reading 99%, Hudson River 10234, Michigan Southern 6774, Cleveland and Pittsburg 7914, Rock Island 983 4 5s, Northwestern 29 a 284, preferred 5534, Fort Wayne 934, Schuylkill Coal 16. At the first regular board the market opened s’rong, but afterwards weakened. New York Central ologed % higher than at the half-past two board yesterday, Eric %, Hudson River %, Reading 76, Michigam Southern Clovelandand Pittsburg %, Northwestern %4, preferred 4, Rock 1 4Y, Fort Way 34, Ohio and Miesissippi certificates i, Cumberland 3g. Government gold bearing soourities were firmer under the English advices, report- ing an advance in five-twenties to 66 on the 15th inst, <oupon five-twenties of the old issue were 34 higher, second issue 3g; the third issue were 3 lower. Seven- tuirty notes of the second and third series advanced 34. At the one o'clock sessions prices were generally a fraction higher, but Erie sold down to 88%. Michigan southern closed at 68 and Cleveland and Pittsburg at 79. At the halt-past two board the market was firm on the greater portion of the list, the disposition to bay more than neutralizing the pressure tosell. New York Cantral closed 3g higher than at the first regular board, Michigan Southern 144, Cleveland and Pittsburg 34, Fort Wayne 14, Quicksilver 24/, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 34. Erie closed % lower, Reading 34, Northwestern 1, pre- ferred 4, Rock Island 3%. Government securities were heavy. Coupon five-twenties of the old issue declined 4, Sixes, of 1881, 34 @ 4. At tho open board at half. past three the market was dull. Erie declined to 8334, Cleveland and Pittsturg, 79, Rock Island was steady a 984/, Northwestern 284, preferred 55, Fort Wayne 9534 (83), Michigan Southern 68%. Afterwards, on the street, the volume of business was very light declined, especially for Erie, At half five o'clock the latter was quoted at 8134, York Central 91%, Reading 98%, Michigan Southern 684; 4%, Cleveland and Pitisburg 7834 a %, Northwestern 284; a 3%, Rock Island 98, Fort Wayne 93 a jy. There isastrong effort being made to keep the market down by the bears, who have large outstanding short interests to cover, but its natcral tendency is re- actiouary, ‘The gold market opened ata decline from the closing price of *last evening, under the news of the advance in five-twenties in London, but before the closo of business it recovered from 130% a 34 to 139% a %. There was an increased demand from borrowers, and loans wore made at 1-32 a $y percent till Monday in favor of the lender, The export of specie aggregated by to-day’s steamers $341,100, of which the Hansa took $141,000 aud the City of New York $200,100, making about $797,000 for the week. This, considering that exchange has ruled below the specic shipping poiiy, indicates « ‘n distrust of credits ‘oreign exchange was steady. Bankers’ bills ou Eng- fand at sixty days were quoted at 108% a 1083¢, short sight 1097; a 11034, Southern cotton bills 10744 a 1083;, commercial bills 107% a 108%. Bills, on Paris ‘were. d-awnat 5 franes 173g centimes a Bf. 21 4¢c. to the dollar ia gold. The European news by the Java is accepted as afford- ing evidence of a quicter state of monetary affairs in Hngiand than the articles on the financ:al and commer- ciul situation there, which have recently appeared in the London Times, may bave led many to expeet. If there had been any severe pressure in the money market, and real apprehensions of impending panic, flye-twenties would not have advanced from 643; a 65 at the close of business on the 11th inst. to 66 on the 13th; Erie from 56a jg to 57 a 34; nor lillvois Central from 75); a 76, ex-dividend, to 76.077. On the 12th inst. large repay- ments were reported to have been made to the Bank of England by the discount houses, and these were likely to continue until the 17th inst, Money was very abundant ‘on the London Stock Exchange, and loans were made on government securities at 3.a 43g percent. It is not im- probable that within a week or ten days we shai hear of a reduction, instead of a further advance, in the bank rate of discount, as predicted by some of the English journal- ists. The reasoning of the London Times upon the causes aifecting the hank rate are obviously un- sound, 80 far as this country is con- verued, That journal complains that while England has been exporting very largely to the United States, the latter has not been returning an equivalent in bread- wtufts and provisions, but sends back instead tive-twenty bonds and other securities, He must bea sorry political pconom'st who regards this as an unfavorable feature for Mogland. We had always supposed that short crops, which compelled a country to import breadstuffs largely Trom foreign countries, was something akin toa national ralamity; but the philosophers of the Thunderer regret that we have not sent them more, Thoy ought rather to have congratulated the United Kingdom upon the faot of its being able to dispense with hes importations of the necessaries of life from Ameri Phe more circumstance of our bonds being exported to England largely to balance eur exchanges, shows that Eng- lish profits were inve in them, and those bonds now for a port of the aggregate wealth of the English wn, Instead of the British exports to this country having been excessive, they have been insuilicient to do much amore than balances the demand for our products and seeunties; and hence the light exports of specie from this side of the Attantic for the last haif year. Had our importa- tions been heavier, our exports of bonds and produce A probably have been no larger, but we should have been compelicd to remit more in specie. The indebted ness of our importers to Europe, allowing for and goods sent here on speculation, is large, but not much above the average The eof afvirs in England may hestea remittances from this side, it will undo and hence we are lik ily cheek the export of bends, y to have larger shipments of specie in the immediate futare than we have had of late.
