FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Mowpay, Feb, 24-6 P. M, ‘Tuere bes been less excitement in the Gold Room to- day than was generally expected from the character of the advices from Washington. The opening transactions ‘were at 1435;. following which there was an advance to 144 and a sudsequeut decline to 1421{, the despatches from the capital 1aving been meanwhile somewhat re- assuring, the Pres dent's Message to the Senace giving his reasons for Mr, Stanton’s removal in a conciliatory ‘spirit being construed favorably. Yowards the close ‘there Was an upward reaction, and latest quotation on the street was 142% 2 142%, It was not then known, however, that the House of Representatives had passed ‘the resolution in favor of impeachment by a vote of 126 te 47, although it transpired sbortly afterwards. Loans ‘were made at rates varying from three to seven per emt for carryine, The shipments of specie last week ‘aggregated $934,264, The stock market has besa weak and excited, and there was a steady decline in prices. Erie and. New ‘York Central were the most yielding of the railway abares, the former late in the afternoon selling at 67 and the latter at 125%, From this point there wasa raily, followed, however, by a relapse. Tbe bull specula- tors are demoraiized bythe broak in Erie, and the ‘Weakness in this stock bas extended throughout the fist, even Northwestern common having fallen two per ent, although sixty was supposed to be “hard pan” for it. The manner in wh.ch Erie has been depressed by the speculative director and his party bas tuken the @treet by surprise, and none more so probably than those who commonced the suits against him which ure gow ponding in the Supreme Court. 1t was believed at the outset that this litigation would put Erle stock up, instead of which it has bad the opposite effect. Stock- holders have a horror of injunctions, however good tho uilimate resu!ts aimed at through them may be, and hence that which i was hoped would restore confidence has excited only distrust, and ena- bled the suspended «1 rector to punish his adversaries by involving them in pecuniary lossea There is an im- pression abroad, however, that the sults referred to will shortly be witndrawn, and that the proposed compact for @ consolidation of the carnings of the Erie, the New York Central and the Pennsylvania Central will be entered into. {+ is not impossible that the suits may be withdrawn, but thore is no prospect of the latter agree- ment being Figued by the Erie directors, their policy ‘apparently being to construct the new line from Akron to Toledo, and to get the Michizan southern Company to furnish, as already agreed upom, a broad gauge line from Toledo to Cuicago, Ridiculouely low figures are predicted for Erie, and for that matter for every stock om the list, with'n the next thirty days; bat the less importance there is attached to these the better, Such predictions simply serve so show the change which bas taken place in the spec:lative feelig of the street within ‘tbe last week. The great majority of speculasors from ‘Raving been very bulli-h have become very bear: and the bear element bas been gaining strength daily. ‘The chiet anxiety of holders of stocks now is to sel! them, whereas only a week ago every man’s wish @eemed to be to adi to the load he was carrying. Thus ‘Wall street rushes from one extreme to another, ‘The money market was more active to-day than {t bas been for several weexs, and the leading dealers in gov- ernment securities oftered Ave per cent for loans, while the general ra efor advances on mixed collaterals was six per cent The heavy loss in deposits shown in the last back statement bas had the effect of making lenders semewhat more cautious than .
