This arrangement is cal- ted to relieve the money: market, as at this jason the banks are usually overburdened with ational bank notes, which they will be able to turn to gold and strengthen their reserves. In the of the year the excess of gold sales over bond urehases would be a detriment to ‘the money arket and help to make it stringent. THE SYNDICATE AT WORK. p) Cable advices report that the European branches f the Syndicate will open the books to-morrow for jabscriptions to the new loan.

The price of the latter came 91, quivalent to 11334, by which we are enabled to un-’ jerstand the reason of the premium en.the scrip of he issues of the five per cents under control of © Syndicate. Consols were 4 better for money nd 3{ for the account, transactions of the latter ind not requiring liquidation until the first week March. Erieshares were buoyant and advanced Wo 544, but reacted to 53%.

STOCKS ACTIVE AND BUOYANT. The signs of coming animation furnished in the tenor of the stock market last week were not illu- sive, as the record of to-day’s business will begin to testify. Almost as soon as the brokers got to- gether this morning the market led off with an ac- tivity and strength which it maintained pretty mach to the close of business, exciting every now and then from the delighted speculaters the re- mark that it was “an old-fashioned bull market.” It looked as if the several pools had got their forces well in hand during the leisure of the interval since Saturday and had made a brilliant dash all along the line, to speak in the MILITARY METAPTIOR so often used in narrating the movements of ope- rators im the stock market under cover of the syndicate flourish of «trumpets. The leading feature was Western Union Telegraph, which | was carried up to 90, last price Saturday evening. During its ascent, and when in the vicinity of 89, it was subjected to the pressure of a series ofheavy sales, under which it receded to 875;, the sellers being, it was alleged, the brokers of Horace F, Clark, for whose reputed account they disposed of nearly twenty thousand shares; but the pool shouldered this additional load and gave the market a fresh start, which took it to THE DAY'S MAXIMUM of 90, The entire transactions in this one stock ex- ceeded one hundred thousand shares, or over one- third of the capital stock notin the Treasury. The next more important movement, which was again heralded by the presence of ex-Congressman John Morrissey, in the vicinity of the Long Room, was in New York Central, whose price advanced from 10434 to 1064. Northwestern preferred advanced to 94, but receded to 93. An active revival of the speculation in Erie in the Lendon market was fol- lewed by fresh activity on this side and an advanee to 6944. The several SMALLER POOLS came up in the rear with arise of 14 per cent in ©., C. and I. C., 134 per cent in St. Paul, and1 per centin Lake Shore. Boston, Hartfera and Erie, after an early advance to 10%, feil off to 9% on the Tumor that the directors had decided to open the transter books, which would make a market for the Boston certificates recently selling at 5a 54 per cent, Lackawanna Advanced to 103, and closed at 102%. It is said that the recent injunction against the New Jersey Central Company was granted in & friendly way to enable an appeal to the Court of last resort and so hasten the end of the dispute by as against 87, ~ the A FINAL DECISION. It will be seen by anarticle in an adjoining col- umn that the Harlem Railroad Company have de- cided to issue & consolidated mortgage of $12,000,000, of which an equivalent amount will be devoted to the cancellation of outstanding bonds as they fall due, and the remainder toa number of contemplated “improvements,” among which it is shrewdly surmised is the Fourth Avenue Under- ground Railway. The company will negotiate at present only two millions of the new bonds, which will bear interest at 7 per cent, payable semi-an- nually in May and November, tlie principal being redeemable in the year 1900, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

Monpay, Feb. 3—6 P. M. The trade movement was slow to-day and mer. cantile transactions .were again circumscribed. Cotton was reported dull for lots on the spot. At the Produce Exchange there was scarcely any change and very little business. There was some inquiry for wheat for export and a moderate busi- ness done on the basis of our previous quota- tions—repeated under the appropriate head, Flour was quiet but steady at previous prices, Corn was sought after to only a moderate extent, but the sales were at full prices and mainly for shipment. Oats were steady at unchanged prices, Whiskey was a trifle easier, but there was no disposition to force sales, though the receipts were heayy and transportation difficult, In pro- visions but little was done, and the markets were quiet at unchanged figures, Freight room was still scarce and rates firm both for vessels on the berth and for charter. Groceries remained quiet, but not essentially changed in value, Petroleum was dull. , Naval stores were quiet and easier. Whiskey was about xe. per gallon off.

In the case of Mrs, Catharine Morgan, the intem- perate Irish woman, fifty years of age, aileged to have been brutally murdered on Thursday even- ing last, in her shanty on the rocks, northeast corner of Fifty-fifth street and Broadway, by her husband, Josiah Morgan, Coroner Keenan has not as yet fixed upon @ day for holding the inqnest. Yesterday afternoon Deputy Coroner Wooster Beach, M. D., made @ post-mortem examination on the body of the murdered woman, at the Morgue, and found bruises and con}used wounds on beth hands and arms and also om her face. There were cuts on the lip and back of the head, three of which were jagged and extended down to the bone. Between the dura mater and the brain there was found a quantity of extrava- sated blood. In the opinion of Dr. Beach death Was due to concussion and laceration of the brain, the result of external violence, The violence may have been received by blows from @ pail or bucket, with which the witness, Jane Brockett, stated the prisoner struck his wife on the head during the night of the fatal quarrel, tis also possible that otter Weapons not named were used, The witness Brockett is now an inmate am te Ninety-ninth street Recepuon Hospital, is dissolved, a, $5,000; Penn- re Association, 000; Equitable,
