G@old Advances to 116 8-4, but Reacts 1-4 Per Cent at the Close, —— GOVERNMENT BONDS STRONG: The Foreign Exchange Market Lower and Weak. The Debt Statement and the Pelicy of the Treasury for April. Continued Dulness at the Stock Ex- change and Prices Unsettled. A Rise in St. Paul, Erie, and Bos- ton, Hartford and Erie, WALL STREET, } Fray, March 28—6 P. M. On Change te-day cotton was in fair demand and steady for ‘“‘spot,” but firmer for future. Flour , Was in better request and steady. Wheat was dall pene: easier, while corn ruled about steady. THE DRY GOODS IMPORTS. » The total imports of foreign dry goods at the port ‘FierNew York during the week ending March 27, 2873, were of the specie value of $3,531,657, The »» amount marketed during the same period was f sxcer. ‘THE FOREIGN MARKET. “The London quotations came steady for consols ‘United States bonds and a little lower for Erie ge There was a recovery in the new French “oan to six per cent premium, and rentes in Paris jpwere steady at 55 60, MONEY UNSETTLED. ‘The money market was active and stringent @uring the most of the day, the rate in early busi- ‘gesa being quite generally 1-16 per cent. As tha » afternoen advanced and the market opened om the ¥ sidewalk the demand became more urgent, and + 1-16 and interest being bid for a few minutes some ! porrowers snapped the offerings at 3-32 through fear of still mgher rates, Curiously enough this climax was succeeded by A SUDDEN DECLINE uring the last fifteen minutes of the iaterval to three o’clock, when, under a pressure to lend, the A rate fell to plain? percent. Advices from Wash- © ‘smgton reporta further contraction in the extra @reenbacks tothe extent of $57,000, and intimate that the April debt statement will show an increase notwithstanding efforts on the part of the Treasury t defer the payment of current obligations until after the 1st prox. The Comptroller of the Cur- fency states that over three hundred of the mational banks were DEFICIENT IN RESERVE according to the statements submitted in answer ‘to his call fora report of their condition as they stood on the 28th of February last. The so-called ‘Waury bill has been defeated in Albany, and the whole subject will, doubtiess, Me over unti! mext Winter to keep company with the shelved bil, to abolish taxation on mortgages. Cemmercial paper was neglected at 9 a 12 per cent discount for prime names. Foreign exchange was lower and ‘weak, the nominal quotations being lowered to 10834 and 1093; for prime sixty-day and sight ster- Ung bills, but transactions on the street were re- ported at 108 and 109. GOLD STRONG—116% A 116%. The gold market was strong under a wider belief in 8 modification of the Treasury pregramme for April, calculated te lessen the amount of the monthly gold sale. In fact, the strait ef the Treas- ury is so generally understood that Wall street ex- pects that Secretary Richardson must previde fer his wants either by issuing additional greenbacks or by continuing his present scale of sales ef gold. The latter being an unpopular way, in view of the stringency in money, the gold *‘bulis” conjecture that he will do the former, and hence are quite sanguine that THE APRIL PROGRAMME will inure to their advantage. Great dependence ts also placed by them upon the anticipated drain ef specie to Europe, in connection with the ex- pected large efflux of Americans to visit Europe and the Vienna Exhibition this Summer, Under these circumstances the price of gold advanced from 116% to 116%, the latter extreme bringing out heavy sales, under which the market went off to 46%, the closing weakness in exchange naturally helping to deprive the market of some of its strength late in the day. The principal fluctuations are shown in the following table :— GOLD FLUCTUATIONS, & In the gold joan pty the rates ranged from 2 to 7 percent for carrying. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows:— Gold cleared. $56,058,000 Gold balances. 1,007,834 Currency balan + 1,218,754 The Sub-Treasury paid eut $58,000 on account of interest and $3,300 on account of redeemed five, twenties, THE RAILROAD BONDS. A lighter business was done in the railroad bonds, prices of which remained firm. New York Centra, sixes of '83 sold at 95, Northwest firs t par and Lackawanna firsts at 103%. Union Pacific firsts were steady and the land grants strong, but the incomes declined to 75.

STOCKS DULL AND UNSETTLED, ‘The steck market contimued dull and prices were unsettled, fluctuating in close sympathy with’ the further stringency and closing relaxatien in the meney market. The chief feature was the con- tinued advance in St. Paul, which moved up to 60%, but in the pressure fer money fell back to 594g and reacted to 60% at the close. Western Union was weak until after three o'clock, when it ‘ suddenly recovered from a decline to 85}¢ and ad- vanced to 86%, clesing at 86%. Pacific Mail fuctu- ated between the extremes of 56% and 58%, closing at about the medium of these figures. Boston, Hart- ford and Erie recovered to 3% on a despatch from Albany stating that the Senate Railroad Com- mittee had favorably reported *‘a bill toextend the time for the completion of the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad.” The existence of this bill was @ surprise to the street, and its nature or object, further than revealed in the telegram as abeve, is unknown. Harlem declined to 135% and Panama to 111%. Otherwise the changes were unim- portant, The market at the close was generally strong, Erie leaving off at an advance to 66, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES, ‘The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of the principal stocks during the day.

Fripay, March 23—6 P, M. Business continued fairly active to-day, and the markets were very generally steady both on and off ’Change. Enhancement of the gold value, while exerting little or no influence upon commer- cial values, seems to stimulate trade in certain directions, while in others it tends to check the demand for goods, This 1s = particularly the case when higher prices are demanded as a consequence of the ap- preciation of gold, or the depreciation of currency. Cotton was dull but nominally unchanged. At the Produce Exchange flour was quiet. Wheat was dull and lowér. Corn was quiet but firm. Oats were steady. Whiskey was dull and lower. Perk and lard were without decided change, Groceries were quiet. Petroleum was dull and easier, Spirits of Turpentine was less active and lower, while rosin ruled about steady.
