RCIALe 15—6 P, M. ving the past serious inquiry as in oy present eculation has hot reve seems too evie stoned, ‘The grand “ball” movement » Prices so triumphantly throughout ug WaS¥ successiul and so widespread that the veriest “bea were compelled to turn around nimi go with the tide, while the whole street vied with each ther in clutching at the stocks, which Kept steadily rising, It is an axiom 1 street that when everybody is a “bull” tarn the market. In such parket everybody is ready to seil; ay. Old operators shook their heads, said prices were very high, that they were carrying ali th wished and that they would not like to take any More. An over-gold market leads to an upward turn in values, for the reason that the demand for stocks is greater than the supply of them, So, in @ universal ‘bull’? market, stocks, par- ticularly aiter such a large advance in prices as that which took place during the period from February to June, are likely to tumble, for the reason that the sellers are more numerous than the buyers, and the supply becomes greater than the demand. Hence some of the cliques, Who were shrewd enough to see this weak point in tne market opened the bear attack, which began about a fortnight since, and which they followed up with such signal success ag to give the market a universal “bear” look and frighten the most radical of “bulis’? into considering whether thet programme had not at last culml- haied and whether it was not beat to “step out.” ‘The curivus part of this sudden revulsion of the market is the fact that those who began the attack had f stock, but deifverately and boldly sold y trst Srightened the weaker holders into sel then, following up wits com- forced their rival pear? can acond: No one is W. “short? and te holders of sto to Iso, the r beginning to spread that prices would mot ve as high again this ye Of co 2, Its not to be imagined that prices g going to dec gradually uutil it suits the cliques to turn the market, Under such eircum- stances everybody w be in the same boat, and tie Cliques would fail in their schemes. it is hardly probable that'mouey can continue active throughout the summer or until the fall drain tor moving the cotton and corn brings about a natural “bear? mar- ket.

From this point there was a and prices fell off from a and a quarter cent, the market eloging dull and unsettled. The money market was in very active. At the opening of the mautry the rates paid were seven per cent, currency, and seven per cent, gold, with the former as the more exceptional figure. Thence there was a sieady hardening until after three o'clock. The street money market was Te-estal d on the sidewalk, in front of the Stock Exchange. The highest quotable rate paid was three- sixtecuths, although a8 high as a quarter was re- ported, It will be noticed that the stock market went up in the face of this stringency, the be: prices ruling just as the demand was general and pressing. ‘The “untoadi is beginning to extend to the gold market, wh e was quite a sudden decline in the price to 12774 before the adjournment of the board. The fact is the ‘‘bulis,”? who have been holding so long, in expectation of a heavy demand for shipment to Europe, have become tired of wail ing, especially as the foreign exchanges have weak- ened and are more remote from the #pecie shipping point. Again they are beginning to weary of the speculation, as they have to pay such extravagant rates as ten, twelve and fifteen per cent to have Meir goid carried, The immediate influence whitch caused the weakness of gold to-day is the decline m exchange, but the downward tendency Was assisted by the improved quotation for our bonds in London. The imports are not so largely in excess of the exports wien bonds are included in wu ter commodities as to warrant the apprehen- sion of an excessive demand for cash gold to settle the balance of trade, while the political situation in Europe and at home is without any warlike symp- tom. The impression is also strong that the Secre- tary of the Treasury, in whatever change he may make to remedy the inequality of his goia sales and bond purchases, will not reduce the former. The Course of the market is shown in the table:— 20 + 138% 1:80 P, 138% 2 P. process though the exact character of the demand for it, as signified inthe loaning rate, is again obscured by the activity of the general money market. Up to Clearing House time as high as 1-32 and 10 and 12 per cent were paid for carrying. In the afternoon the figure ranged from 10 per cent to 3-64. ‘The dis- bursements of coin interest amounted to $26,058, ‘There was no specie on the European steamer, The following is the report of the Gold Exchange Bank:— Gold cleared Seco . Goid balances... Currency balance ‘The better supply of bond bills made by the Ger. man bankers against purchases of five-twenties on foreign account, and the stringency in money, weakened the market for foreign exchange, and rates in the afternoon beeame somewhat nominal. It ie #tlli A mooted question whether the payment of the July coupons held abroad shall be paid by gold shipments (or bills of exchange), or with bonds shipped as reinvestments, The prime bankers were asking 100% for long and 110% for short sterling, but bills could be bought at 109% and 104.

To the Court—It was a very difficult thing to stick to the “biack horse; it was like riding a broom- suck; unless one lay right down and clang to it with legs and aris, it was unpossible to Keep on it, and then it was ten chances to one that a person on it woud roli down to the under side, ‘The case with this testimony was given to the jury without argument, under the charge of the Court, and im about iiteen minutes a verdict of guilty was rendered, TOE CARPENTER TRIED ON A SECOND INDICTMENT.

He is of medium height, with light hair and mus- tache, and as he sat by his counsel, attired in a neat suit of black, he might be taken for a quiet, unoh- trasive young man in @ respectable walk of life.
