Shorty before Hive o'clock this afternoon Dr. Lord was seen walking quietly along Market street, to- ward Main, aod, when near the corner of the latter street, Mr. Hunter was acen following him quiokly, ud with an indescribable something in his bund, Ho walked past the Doctor, and turaed and face him, When the following occurred:— Mr. HunTer—Is this Dr. Lord? r.

MONEY IRREGULAR AND BASIER, The Money market underwent a most surprising transition from stringency to superabundant ease, Early in the day, and, indeed, up to the usual time when accounts are generally pro- vided for, te demand for money was most urgent, and transactions were eifected at a range of rates running on stock collaterals trom seven per cent currency to coin Interest and co seven per cent, plus a consideration of 1-32, which last men- tioned figure was paid in the process of turning stocks. The government dealers pald seven per cent as @ common rate, but had six per cent balances remaining undtsturbed from previous en- gagements. Before the close of banking nours a marked relaxation took place. A well known Wall street firm, which in the morning tiad been borrow. lng at gold interest, turned lender in the ingerval between two and three o'clock, aud “slammed” the money market down to 13g per cent.
