Every pusiness tn the country would grow conserva- tive, for we, the peophe, are the government, and it, is every man’s luterest Lo get back as quuckly as pos gibe to a gold basis.

WALL STRERT, Wepnrspay, March 2—6 P. M. The Gold Room was comparatively qutet to-day, and transactions to the precious metal devoid of excitement, GOLD EAVY, LOWER AND DULL. Indeed the speculative element of Wall stroet seems inglined to abandon the gold market for the present and scek othe? fields of operation. Jt would Not be surprising if the Gold Room drifted into the lun which prevalied a few weexs since, when the price was in the vicinity of 120, At present the “bears” are afraid to sell below 115, and the “bulls” are not disposed to buy. Hence a restoration of equihbrium at the present figures, The eartiest price this morning was 1163, based upon s decline in London to 90% for five-twenties, and also upon the public debt statement showing the government to be the actual owner of oniy eighteen millions of the one hundred and two millions 10 the Treasury. Bus the popular faith is now against higher gold, and other questions than that of the government batance determine the price of the pre- mium. The. market became heagy and declined to 116%, with one lonely quotable transaction at 115%. ‘The course of the market was as follows:— 116% 2P. M. 116% 3P.M 16% 4 U5 6 110” 6:80 oe 118% Holders of gold paid from three to dive per cent to have thelr balances carried. The operatious of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows: Gold cleared sei 6isiv sess Gold balances. Currency balances. STOCKS STRONG AND ACTIVE, The."bull” chques had @ perfect festival in the Stock Exchange. Prices moved up steadily, frac- tion by fraction. The few “beara” who tried afew “saort” sales Were rotalessiy run over by the head- long speed of the market and left far bebind. Gold affected prices somewhat in the forenoon; but, the cliques haying promised to “cut loose from gold,” kept their word, and.stocks were highest when gold was lowest. Such was the force of the movement that a decrease of $30,000 in the week’s receipts of the Cuicago and Nortiwesiern Railroad pro- 1,636,3 1,796,781 duced no injurious effect upon the stock, which advanced irresistibly from 70% to 73 However, ay the road expected to lose $75,000 or $80,000 this week (according to the ‘‘con- fidential” points communicated last week) they have, according to Dick Jarndyce’s logic, in Dickens, saved aout $50,000. The whole list was active, and all of the ratiways are higher to-night than ast night. In the miscellaneous list Pacific Mail was unfavorably affected by the loss of the Golden City and sold down to 3734, but as the steamer was worth only $700,000, @ trifling addition to Mabihties of which the first ivem ts the capital stock of $20,000,000, the price reacted wo 38%.
