The money market continued easy at four to five per cent on stocks and at four per cent on guaran- tees, On the latter collaterals exceptional loans were mare at three per cent. The discount market was active, and a large business done in prime com- mercial paper at 634 per cent, Confidence in makers: is on the increase, owing to the promising signs in general trade, Some of the leading bankers made a nominal ad- vance in the rates for foroign exchange, which they quoted 1004 for sixty days steriing, and 1103¢ for sight bills; bat they allowed a brokerage of one- eighth ber cent from these rates. The gold market was wholly unaff cted by the higher qu tations, STOCKS STRONG AXD BUOYANT. The attraction of the street still centres in the Stock Exchange, and the progress of business in | that department develops new features of interest Heretofore the rise was quietly ac- cepted as a strong upward movement, but was aivended with little or no gossip. It now appears, however, that the two leading champions of the remarkabie contest jast winter are arrayed in deadly opposition once more, and the tide of battle has been most effectualiy tarnea in favor of the parties who were regarded as the great sufferers in the orimnai campaign. Strect rumor also asserts that one leading firm, sup- posed to represent In their Operations qulie a large party of their customers and friends, are short of Union Pacific to the extent of rast tiventy thou sand shares, on which they? so far “made” a loss of nearly a quarter of a n.. ‘on dollars, The speculators who last winter tho! the short road to wealth lay in selling the siocks * other people are in great extremity, now that pe je are willing to pay so much more for these stocks than they hurried to sell them at, When the HeRrabp at that time warned the pubiie that prices were on “hard pan” it was only giving advice derived from a Khowleage that the brekers’ oflces were filed with | orders to buy for invesiors, who knew that prices | were depressed by speculation far below thelr real standard, Since that warning given im this column the = market has advanced (from five to fifteen percent. The present nataral reaction 1s assisted by the exceed- ingly hopeful pronuses of a prosperous season in business throughout the country, ior which the in- dicatiens are strengthened by the cessation of the warin Europe and by the prospective speedy ad- judication of the Alabama clanns and the removal of all obstacles to the further progress of our career a3 a great weaith-making country. Not the least sigviticant feature of the time is the reiention on this side of the Atlantic of the vasi sums of foreign capital whieh it was supposed would go back to Europe on the return of peace. At present it would seew that not only will this money remain With us, but that numerous enterprises for procur- ing capital in Europe which were suspended by the war wiil be revived, with ihe effect of bringing still larger amounts of foreign wealth into the country, Considering tie various circumstances attending the prese mation it is not diMculs te understand the extraordinary activity and buoyancy of the stock market. Easy money and a pros- pect of an abundant supply for the rest of the wpring and summer; the fever specula- tive movement In Commercial circles; the revival of trade; the changed current of the feeling in real estate operations; the early spring promising as it does abundavt crops and a speedy reewl to employment of ail the various imdustiial classes, and tne settlement of tne great war in Europe, are influences combining to render tne pubic mind cheerfal and confident. To-day the speculation ran upon fresh favorites, while keeping up its mterest in those which had been the earlier recipients of its tavor. It is true that Western Union Teicgraph and Ohio and | Mississupp! were not as high as they have been, but | they were strong and very high as compared with their price ten days ago. Union Pacifle, on the report of the large uncovered stort ; interest referred tO above, advanced to | | 317, the purchases being stimulated by Wasiilngton reports that the Senate measure re- stricting the Treasury Department to the letwr of the law in the matter of interest on the subsidy bouds was certatn of adoption by the House, The annual election for directors of the campany will be held in Boston on the Sthimst The Vanderbilt se- curities were better, but less buoyant than other for the reason that an unfavorable decision is apprehended on the question of the revenue tax upon the senp divi- dend. The whole market at the morning board began to give way, and fora time the bears” sold quite freely in rhe belief that the turning point in the tide had come, but the carrent changed again in the afternoon and once more the final street prices were generally the highest of the day. Tue day developed a sudden movement in Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central, which ran up from 1844 to 22 on very heavy transactions, the dealings having been nearly 20,000 shares, The cause of the rise in this stock 1s explained in a paragraph given to the public in the HERALD about two weeks since, When the resumption of the lease of the road by the Pennsylvania Central Company was an- nounced.
