ERIE LOOMS UP ANEW. The ‘Speculative Fever Breaks Out Afresh. THE SHARES RISE FROM 52 TO 60 Two Continents “Operat- ing” in Erie. The Race Between the London and New York Markets. The Cable and the Telegraphs Busied with “Orders” in Erie. The Why and the Wherefore— Theories and Speculations, THE EFFECT ON THE STOCK LIST Money Easier—Gold Steady—Governments Un- changed—The State Bonds Neglected. WALL STREET, } Monpay, March 25, 1872—6 P. M. On *Ohange to-day wheat was dull and firm, eotton market was quiet and steady, MONEY EASY. ‘The money market was easy and the rate on call @eclined to 6 percent. Early in the day a sceptical feeling as to the continuance of the relaxation Boted last week started borrowers out early, and some of them paid 7 per cent, coin, tor what they wanted. But the supply became better as the day advanced, and, alter a full supply at 7 per cent, Jenders were Offering money at the close at as low as 6 ber cent, The market was as easy to the dealers im government bonds, but the dulness in this depart- Went of business created little new inquiry for @oney, and loans were allowed to stand over at 7 per cont. Paper was quoted 7 a 12 per cent discount for the weveral grades of prime bankers’ and. commercial notes and acceptances, DECLINE IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE. The foreign exchanges were weak under a heavy Offering of bills by the foreign bankers arawn ehieny against purchases of Erie for the London Market, Sterling deciined + per cent.

GOLD 109% a 109%, The gold market opened 109% bid, but the de- mand at this price was Immediately supplied by the fereign bankers, who were selling gold against shipments of Erie, and the quotation settled to 109% @ 100%, at which and the intermediate six. ‘eenth. the rest of the day’s business was con- ducted, The market was quiet and featureless. In Joans of cash gold the rate varied from six per cent for carrying to flat for borrowing. The Sub-Treas- Ury paid out $966,000 in redemption of the called ben4a of 62. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows:—Gold cleared, $20,870,000; gold balances, $2,139,000; currency balances, $2,363,217.

Clev, Painesvi’e & Ash TUB ERIG BXCITEMENT—STOCKS STRONG AND ACTIVE, 4 Seen pensation was reserved for Erie, even NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, had been generally ignored, if not discredited. But, as already explained in tnid*column, the real mar- ket for Erre is in London, and not in New York. It should be remembered that during the last five years of the history of the road large majority of the share capital has been held on the other side of the Auantic, the immense wealth of the Old World readily and quietly absorbing the Fisk-Gould Issues until some effort at protection was made im the restriction of dealings to the certificates carrying the stamped ticket of the famous London committee, In explanation of the fresh rise in Erfe-in London this morning, where the price opened at 45 as against 4214 on Saturday night, 1¢ is said that the previous advance had already made the fortunes of thousands of speculators in that market, and inspired @ speculative mauia which has been seldom equaled in the history of the phiegmatic population of the “tight little island.” We are left os yet im the dark as to the extent and details of the Erle speculation im England and Europe generally, the cable bringing us only the meagre figures of the quota- tions at certain regular intervals ofthe day; but there is little doubt there 1s more excitement over Erie 1m the Old World than there is in the New, the fortunes already made tempting the lucky ones to fresh ventures and arousing the cupidity of thou- sands of others, who think it may not yet be too late to get a share of the wealth to be made by buy- ing the stock. Technical matters also assist the revival of the speculation in London. The pur- chases now are mostly for the middle of April, the business previously having been generally done for the close of March, the settling day for which wil be Wednesday next, owing to the string of helidays at the end of the week. On this side of the Atlantic the populace—the ‘fools”—nave been the Incky ones, like the masses in Kngiand, and the victime have been the prolessional class who haye sold Erie gtep by step as {t rose until they have been forced by lack of farther means, or by a sud- den conversion of thetr opinions, into buying and ciosing their interest, The American speculators have. been beaten all around, and it was their purchases which helpea the rise on the Stock Ex- change to-day. The victims belong to ali parts of the country, the impression having gone around generally that the road was enormously in debt and would be discovered to be bankrupt when the now directors examined the books. The telegraph wires were busy bringing in orders to protect contracts on the ‘short?’ side, Baltimore 1s credited with enor Mons losses, at least ten thousand shares of Erie having been pought in this afternoon for the account of the “bears”? in that city. At would not be surprising 11 a worse story could be told for Boston and Philadelphia, but the specula- tive operations of those cities in the New York market are not so readily traced, owing to the more numerous channels of communication be- tween them, It is suggested tnat the sudden rise in London for the day from 42}, to 4834 has been helped also py a desperate effort of the Heath and Kaphael party to wrest the balance of power trom the McHenry or Atlanta and Great Western party, by baying the stock without stint, both in London and in New York, the first purchase of any moment to-day in this market having been made by the for- eign bankers. The earliest price here was 62, trom which there wasa sudden “jump”? to 65, thence a steadier movement to 56%, a reaction to 6534 and & fresh rise to 5944, a reaction to 67% and thencefor- ward a rise to 60, at which the last sales were made as the descending shutters of the Stock Ex- after the capacity of thas stocx for a further advance COMMERCIAL. 2 change closed behind the departing crowd of brokers, The New York market closed fully 13, per cent higher than London, an inequality due to the domestic demand, not only for the “bull”? side, but to cover speculative sales: The “bears’’ were forced to buy in, not only by rea son Of their apprehension of aniimited losses, but through fears of a corner in the domestic market, where more stock may have been bought for Europe than can be delivered. The diMfculty of the specu- lation for a decline ts furthermore aggravated by tne accumulation of the certificates at the transfer and registration ofMlce, a8 many a3 160,000 shares being reported awatting exchange into the ten-share lotg, customary in the foreign market. In view of tle dtstress occasioned the banking community, who have to le out of the money represented by these shares, it would be only proper of the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Com- pany to increase temporarily their clerical force and expedite the. transfers. The general market sympa- thized more or 1ess with Erie, and some of the little cligues endeavored to fan the excitement im their own favoriles; but, while the activity was general, it was too evident that Erie was the great attraction and had followers despite its already exalted quotation. Quicksilver preferred was run up to 64 and the common to 44%. A rise of one to three per cent took place in Wabash, Northwestern, Rock Island, Ohios, Pacific Mail, Boston, Hartford ana Erie and St. Paul. Reading and Western Union were neglected and Union Pacific and New York Central eaccptionally heavy and weak. A quarterly dividend of 2}, per cent has been declared on New Jersey Central, and Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, paying April 22, the books closing March 30. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.
