Tuvrepar, Feb. 20-67. M. ‘The gold market was duli and steady during the early Part of the day, but in the afteraoon It developed in- creased firmuess, and the latest transactions were st 14034 against 140, the iowest point touched, There is & Considerable ‘short interest outstanding, and joans were made at rates varying from two to four per cent for carrying, The gross clearings amounted to $48,226,000, the gold balances to $1,463,147, and the currency balances to $2,072,921, ‘The fact that the leading foreign bankers advanced their rates for bills on England an eighth per cent lato in the afternoon strengthened confidence among buyers of gold, as this favors shipments of specie; but there {3 nothing tn the Political situation of the country at the present time to stimalate an advance, ‘The stock market attracts more than usual attention owing to the course of Erie and the itigation In which the treasurer of the company, Mr, Drew, is involved, The stock showed much steadiness until late im the afternoon, when there was a heavy pressure to sell \t, aod in the midst of a semi-panio it deolined to 7034, but ab tho close it was quoted at 70% a 70%. There is no doubt that the speculative director and nearly all his co-directors at the Erie board are working together to depress the price of the stock, and at a meeting of the board held this week full powor to manuge the affairs of the company and make new contracts was conterred upom the Executive Committee of four, of which Mr. Drew is one, and it is reported that they mean to damage the market for the stock as much as they can, either by hook or by crook, in order that they may be enabled to make @ handsome profit out of their “short” sales of Erle, They appear to be men of clay in Mr. Drew's hands, and hence there are good reasons why they should be suspended from the duties of their office alike with Mr, Drow himeelf, for they are evidentiy unfit to Sdminister a great trust, It is rumored that they are on the point of igsuing four millions of convertible bonds, either for the construction of the hundred miles of railway from Akron to Toledo, to make the through broad gauge route between New York and Chicago, or for other purposes, Ultimate'y there can be no doubt that this connecting link between the points mentioned will be of great value to the Erie Company, but for the time being it is used by its own directors as a bear argument, Whetber such an issue of bonds as that roferred to is about to bo made or mot it is bard to say, and it is equally difficult to ascertain how much new stock has been issued in the capitalization of loss bat it is reported that an injunctivn bas been or fs about to bo served upon the directors of the company, restraining them from undertaking any now enterprises or making any new financial arrancements, This is supposed to be in the Vanderbilt tuterest, the proposed connection between the Ailantic and Great Western Railway and the Michigan Southern being in direct oppesition to the New York Central route westward; and the conflict of interesig between the Lockwood, Keep and Vander. Dilt parties is likely to cuimivate in open warfare, To-morrow is the day appointed by Judge Bar- nard for Mr, Drew to show cause why his suspension from office should not be made permanent; but the argument will probably occupy a considerable length of time, and there is no kaowing how tong it will be before the court will render a final decision In the matter, Meanwhile the stock 13 the football of Wall Street, and most of tho recent buils in it appear to have sold out; for they are now talking M down as much es they before talked it up, although nothing bas occyrred to change its real value withia tho last few days, A? such panic-like movements as this ar», it is noedless to say, senseless and cowardly; bat there is no use in argving with a flock of sheep, ana Wall street rush from one extreme to another with insane rapidity, Although the general market did not sympatbize with the decline in Erie until after three o'clock, it then showed cousiderable weakngss, and New York Central was hammered in order to break Erie. Thero is no good reason for ail this loss of confidence, however, and capi- talists outside of the whirl of excitement will soon sco the opportunity for making some profl'able investments, Money continues very easy at five por cont for call loans, with exceptional transactions at four and six, while the demand for discounts ia ati!l light. At the commencement of business thore was renewed eraitement ia Erie and sales were wade as low as 7334, but the rest of the market was without material change.
