Mt. The Interest manifested tn the revived speculation in Wall street was attested by no better sign than the presence of so great a throng at the Stock Ex- change to-(lay, despite the dreary and dismal state of tho weather, The Long Room was foggy with the Vapor from the smoking garments of the crowd; the ted floor was a marehof muddy water; dripping Urbrellas constantly contributed to the “demnition motst, unpleasanv’ state of affairs. But above all Tang tho noiso and din of business, Old brokers and young brokers shook hands and congratwiated each other on the resumption of activity and the prospect of an unlimited supply of “orders.” GOLD STRONG—113'4 A 114, Inasmach as the course of events hinged to a considerable extent upon the infinences affecting the gold market, tt 1s only proper to begin the nar- Tative of the day with the story of that department. | The great obstimacy which gold has shown In the interim sice our elyll war {3 due in no little degreo to the coustitutoual bullishnoss of those who will never believa in tho stabilny of our government. Politics hay a word desoribing this clays of people. Ms synonym i the Gold Room ts “bull? Nearly all the commercial fallures since the war have been duo to the fact that the bankrupts Could not and would not se@ tho tnovitable consequences of tha steady recovery of the country from the prostration of the war and of the enter- prise and prosperity begotten of the reign of peace. ‘Tho parties who have thus interrupted the national progress of the financial elwuation and endeavored to throw obstacles in the march to the resumption of specie payments have called ont an equally pow- erfut class of speculators, whose combat in the arena of the Gold Room was to-day unusually interesting, It 13 speculation in gold which keeps it froma 13 rgal level. ‘There are, of course, legitimate transactions connected with the sale of gold for delivery; but it ts the saie without a corresponding mercan- lilo transaction that makes gold unnecessariiy scarce. The “bulls in gold created a strong Qiversion this afternoon by suddenly circu.ating a rumor that they intended to make a “squeeze” to- morrow, and the “bears” were so frightened that some bought im their gold, raising the price up to 114, while others, braving the threat, engaged weir gold for to-morrow at rates ranging from 1-16 to 8-32, {t $s, of course, impossible at this time to say what may be done; but, in view of tho fact that Sec- retary Boutwell will probably order the prepay- meat, without rebate, as early as the 15th tnst., of tho November coin interest on the public debt, the movemont may be simply for the purpose of enabling the “bulls? to unload before the governinent gold comes on the street and breaks up the stringency In the gold loan market. At this Season Oo! the year, with the cotton receipts mereas- ing from week to week aud with constantly increas. ing exports of produce of all kinds, it 13 against all logte that gold should advance. If the “bears” are made to pay for their indulgence in the temptation to speculavs against the decline tho public will thank the “bulls.” Bat that the triumph of the Jat- ter will be sliortlived {3 obvious. The public will thus see both sides of the speculative Oght pun. ished. The course of the gold market is shown tn the table:— 10 A. M.... 13% A.
