But scenery is by no means reiarkable, and the jain etreet of ne tenth-rate English town soon eases to be inspiring. Need it be wondered at, then, that rumors of abundant poker and even ot ro are prevalent? Perhaps they are rumors and Dothing more, but I mention them for what they x worth, so as to warn any unsophisticated New orker who should happen, as! did, to make the quaintance of fascinating gentlemen, who pro- iced euchre, to mind what he is about, therwise he will find the euchre soon change ae something more serious.

WALL Street, Wepxsspa¥, July ste. M.} On !Change to-day wheat was steadicr, holders declining to press for sales. The supply of new is light, and winter strong. Flour is very firm, the short supply of shipping brands checking business. ‘The trade demand ts active and general. Cotton was dul! and lower at 20%¢. for low middling and 213¢¢. for middling. GOLD 11544. The feature on the strect to-day was the ad- vancoin gold to 115%. It had been arranged to put it to 11634, but this the general market rosisted, and the pressure was withdrawn. The rising tide in gold would appear, however, to be beyond con- trol. We are still exporting specie, and must con- tinue to do so for some time, The customs re- ceipts for the month of July show a decrease of four and three-quarter millions as compared with this month last year. This amount simply repre- sents the accumulated merchandise in the bonded Warehouses awaiting the action of the tariff on the 1st of August, To-morrow the demand commences in earnest for gold to take these goods out of bond, THE ADVANCE IN THE PREMIUM TO-DAY was principally due to purchases against this de- mand, although taken advantage of by the clique who are at present operating in gold to help their schemes. But to bull gold at the present time does not need any clique, Gold must go up whether it should or not. We cannot arrest the movement of specie hence, which is simply draining the country ofgold. Tho operations connected with the French loan, so remarkably successful, must affect the bank reserves of nearly all the leading banks in Eu- Tope, and so cause an agitation in the specie Market that cannot fall to bo reflected here, A large portion of these subscriptions must be drawn from deposits now in the Bank of England, most of which will have to be made good from this side of the water. It is stated, on excellent authority, that next month contracts for railroad iron amounting toover fifty millions of dollars mature, for which remittances will, of course, be looked for. These are not late contracts, but engagements extending over a considerable period, some on account of new reads and some for the repair of old roads, Taken altogether this 1s only a small item im our foreign indebtedness. THE SUCCESS OF THE FRENCH LOAN still continves to be the theme of discussion in financial circles. The latest announcement in re- gard to the loan is that the subscriptions aggre- gated forty-one milliards of francs, or more than eight thousand millions of dollars in gold, This is almost incredible, and shows that France has the greatest credit of apy nation in the world. There is A MORAL contained in this which it would be well! for Ameri- can financiers and the American public generally to study. There are several points involved in this that call for careful, and in some cases surprised at- tention. One is that a people who are capa- ble of taking up their own loans can easily command credit abroad. Another is that the empire did not impoverish the people. Another Point shown is the dearth of enterprise existing in the Old World as compared with here, Men in this country who are able to save a little money invest it in some sort of business or speculate. American government securities were never popular at home in the sense that France exhibits. The savings banks institutions, national banks, trust companies and other fiduciary agencies absorbed large quanti- tles of them, but*the people generally preferred to employ their money in @ more active way. Hence the steady movement of our bonds abroad until almost the whole of our national debt is owned in Europe. The French people, lacking the opportunities of profitable employment for their savings, of course seize the chance of a gov- ernment loan with avidity, and hence, while patriot- ism may be the moving suggestion, the chance of profit ia not wholly overlooked. As was said pre- viously, however, the gold market here is likely to be seriously affected by the sudden movement of this immense amount of money. Something may be learned to-morrow morning of its effect upon the London money market by the action of the directors of the Bank of England upon the occasion of their weekly meeting. It may be too early to have any positive effect yet, but it is possible that some notes of preparation may be observable. The rates paid for carrying to-day were land 2 per cent to fat. The prices of gold to-day were :— ‘The operations ‘of the Gold Exchange Bank to-day were a8 follows:—Gold balances, $3,828,933; cur- rency balances, $4,517,252; gross clearances, $51,499,000. The Assistant Treasurer paid out to- day $60,000 on account of interest and $10,000 in re- demption of five-twenty bonds, The specie shipments to-day were $83,000 and the engagements for to-morrow are $800,000, BRIE AND PACIFIO MAIL were again the only features of the stock list, Brie going of to 507%, The fortunes of that stock ap- pear to be waning rapidly, Everybody on the street knows that, as with all non- dividend paying stocks, it is intrinsi- cally worthless, being good only for a speculative venture. It is now said that even the great English banking house who sent over a syn- dicate here to get control of the road are only anxious now to shake the dust of the concern of their feet, and, when they can call in their loans upon which they earned proxies, will gladly follow the example of the traditional Arab and steal away. It is further stated that this capture of Erie cost the company one and one quarter mil- lions, to be divided among the syndi- cate.

The money market stiifened this afternoon and rates advanced from 3 to 6 per cent. This is due to preparations to meet the usual August disburse- ments, aggravated, doubtless, by the expectation of anactive demand from the importing houses. Currency time loans are in demand and quoted at 7 per cent, currency, to 7 per cent, gold, for the bal- ance of the year, and 7 per cent, gold, to January 15. Time loans in gold are very active at 34 per cent for thirty days, 1 to 114 per cent for sixty days, 13g to 1% per cent for ninety days and 2 per cent to November 1. For the balance of the year 2 per cent is bid without business. FOREIGN EXCHANGE is also.affected by the prospect of the August cus- toms business and the large amount of goods then to be marketed, The demand hence has been light for the past few days, and rates nominal, but with the resumption of remittances business is | likely to increase, The pressure of borrowed bills is still observable in keeping rates down.
