A ‘Threatened “Squeeze” in the Gold Market. WALL STREET, PM} Taorspay, Dec. 5—6 P. On 'Change to-day cotton was in good demand and firm for “spot,” but slightly easier for futures. Four remained steady; wheat was dearer and corn unchanged, THE FOREIGN MARKET. Tho Bank of England directors at their meeting this noon made no alteration in the discount rate, the minimum of which remains at 6 per cent, while the street rate continues quoted 544 per cent, The bullion of the Bank of England shows a gain of £115,000 for the past week. At the London Stock Exchange our bonds were firm and THE NEW FIVES @ fraction higher, but consols towards the close de- clined an eighth, for reasons not explained, unless by thie renewed apprehension of a crisis in France, which is mentioned in the press cable despatches, but can hardly be so serious as represented, when rentea come so good as 53,02, It “is not unlikely, of course, that consols are siffering, as they must constantly, from the competition of so many tempt- ing securities paying so much higher rates of in- terest offered so abundantly in the London market. MONEY ACTIVE, The money market was active at the stercotyped nd stringent quotation of 7 per cent currency to 1-32 and interest. The borrowers at 7 per cent were few and far between, and got their money only on collaterals of first class character, with ample mar. gins. The real and average rate of the day’s busi- eas in oali loans was 1-32—equivaient to 1134 per | cent per anaum—which the ordinary borrower on Stock coltaterals paid quite cheerfully, In some cases 7 per cent coin interest was accepted by leuders; but these cases were nearly equally offset by transactions at 7 per cent and a commission of 1-32. Gt 1-32 fat, MERCANTILE PAPER was in good request, and the note brokers express considerable surprise at the extent of the inquiry, | considering the activity of the call loan market. | Rates show no further relaxation as yet, however, which is not’ unreasonable, in view of the only re- cent diversion of capital to this kind of invest- ment, and prime names are to be had at 10a 12 per cent discount. Foreign exchange was easier on the fear of a lock-up of gold to-morrow, and the leading drawers lowered their rate ¥% per cent, prime sterling closing on the basis of 108g a 10854 for sixty-day and 110 a 1101f for sight bills. GOLD STRONG—112% a 113}. The gold market was strong under purchases by « the clique, whose operations were revealed in the large amount of gold bid for at the Sub-Treasury, and later in the spirited demand ior gold for use | + to-morrow, as high as 3 per cent being paid in engagements of this nature. It is dificult, of courae, to say, and is at most only a conjecture, how far they will forthwith pursue the scheme indi- | « Cated to-day, but that a “lock-up”? is In preparation | Seems pretty evident, At the same time, a good | show of bluster and a slight “squeeze” may be the cover under which the clique intend selling out thelr goid a8 a precaution against the inevitable fall ta the premium which must come between this | date and next Spring, or when we derive the full benefit of the cotton and other crops now going ;@broad so generously in a constantly increasing | The bids at THE SUR-TREASURY volume, + called for a total of $4,225,000, the prices offered | Taoging from 112 to 118.0234.

SECURITIES DULL, The Southern State bonds were duli and gener- ally steady, The recent advance in Tennessees brought out sellers, and the bonds were somewhat lower, but without important decline.

The government bond market was buoyant aad very strong, as 2 consequence both of the advance in gold and of the demand on the part of capital- ists and corporations desirous of escaping local taxation by converting their means temporarily into government securities and holding them over the taxable period of the ‘close ef the year. The ’07’s jumped to 11754 a 117% and the new fives to 111g, Advices from Washington atate that Secre- ‘tary Boutwell, ina conference with the Ways and Means Committee, expressed his intention of soon resuming aperationa for a further negotiation of THE NEW LOAN, if Congress did not indicate their intention of modifying the funding law or manitest dissatisfac- tion with his so doing.

STOCKS IRREGULAR AND DULL. The activity of the stock market was confined to the two or three features which have been more prominent the past few days, the interest in.the rest of the list being quite tame and the dealings of only moderate extent. The early speculation ran on Western Union Telegraph, which was buoy- ant and rose to 78, owing to the general interpre- tation of the action of Congress yesterday asa burial of the Postmaster General’s proposition for a government system of telegraph service. But this impression was not so strong later in the day, when there was @ recurrent pressufe to sell the stock on a Washington despatch that THE CRESWELL PROPOSITION would-be urged to speedy consideration in the committee and as soon as possible thereafter in the House. The next active feature was Rock Island, which advanced to 115 in the face of rumors that as much 24 $8,000,000 of new stock was to be issued by the company, the rumor not stating whetuer the new stock was to be sold for the benefit of the company or awarded as a scrip dividend to present stockholders. Two theories of the movement in Rock Island are afloat. One is that the Tracey party, who have controlled the road from ita beginning almost, and “won't resign” so as to let other interests manage it, have been surprised in their recent indiiference by the BRIAREAN TOM SCOTT, of the centipedal Pennsylvania Railroad, who has startea tocapture the road and unite it with the Pennsylvania company through the intermediary of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago. This procedure threatening the dispossession of the Tracey party, the tenure of power by the latter be- came a first necessity, and hence the report that the new stock is to be issued to enable them to re- tain a controlling interest, The other and second theory referred to, is, however, the more likely one. Jt conjectures that A SECRET ALLIANCE has been made between Scott and Tracey, by which the Rock Island stock is to be watered and the road leased to the Pennsylvania, aiter the fashion of the Fort Wayne and the Pittsburg Rail- roads, Hence the denial by some of the Rock Island pooi of their sympathy with the present movement, the object of their reticence and mis- representation being to prevent a too popular de- mand for the stock. In furtherance of this plan of consolidation (a perpetual lease) the Rock Island road is to absorb | THE CHICAGO AND SOUTHWESTERN, | | i} | i | which it is at liberty to do at any time by ex- changing its stock for the stock of the latter in the Proportion of one for two shares, and make a further stock dividend up to the limit allowed by its charter. Upon the whole of the capital so en- larged the Pennsylvania road will tee a fixed annual rate of interest, agreed upon between the two. contracting parties. Such , are the two explanations of the speculation in Rock Island, and the choice ot them 1s left to be made by those whoare interested | in the subject, Pacific Mall was unsettied and at length declined to 844, but the desigus of the | parties manipulating it are A PERPETUAL MYSTERY | tothe street, At times it would seem as if the Stockwell party were really endeavoring to sell, and in this connection it was said that the pool had taken the 59,000 shares of Henry Smith off his hands and were staggering under the load and en- deavoring to ged rid of it, Again, from the per- | sistent refusal of the “Stockwell brokers” to take | Pacitic Mail as a collateral, it was thought the pool were really trying to buy the stock and had re- sorted to this plan to get it out of weak hands, If the latter be their real intention it explains a rumor irom San Francisco, given in another col- umn, that the Pacific Mailline had passed under control of the Central Pacific Railroad Company.
