ANOTHER SHARP ADVANCE IN GOLD—coN- GRESSIONAL FENCING WITH THE SITUATION AND WHAT THE STREET THINKS OF IT— THE TARIFF BILL—A NEW STOCK BOABD THREATENED—ATLANTIO AND PACIFIC, ‘The street was relieved of its recent customary dulness by asharp movement tn gold yesterday, which carried the premium up to lliyy. This was the result, of course, of some pretty quick cover- ing on the part of the shorts, whose faith in tos great and glorious country leads them to a perea- nial effervescence of patriotism im the suape of sellimg gold, Another reason for the advance, however, and for the backsliding of the patriotie gentiemen above referred to, was founda iater im the day in the large receipts for customs at the Sub-Treasury, which reached an aggregate of $835,000, which, taken in connection with over $700,000 paid in on the same account on Monday, makes @ total of over $1,500,000 gold taken out af the street this week, which reflects the recent buying purpose aud explains WHY GOLD WENT UP. The stock of available cash gold is said to be very low, aid this opinion found expression in the gold loan market yesterday, where 1-64 of 1 per cent per day and, exceptionaily, 1-32 was paid for its use. Will pot some member of Congress urge that count be had of the visivle coin re- serve of the country, actual hard metal in the Treasury and bank vaults, that we may be re- Meved of these constantly recurring excitements im the gold room, which disturd the whole basi- ness Ol the country, and learn before we enter upon & Dew speculauve era the exact basis we have to start from. Foreign exchange was de- mMoralized by this advance in gold, and went of by successive Stages during the day until at the close SALES OF STERLING were made at 4.8034 for prime bankers’ and 4.833% for sight, These are the lowest faures at whicn sterling has sold since January 7, 1874. And yet is does not induce purchasers. Business was ex- ceediogly dull yesterday, the importers having their hands full taking goods out of bond in fear of tariff changes that may increase duties, so | that they had no time to attend to remittances. There is apparently a conflict between the ex- change and gold markets which it will be interest- ing to watch. Sterling is now nearly at the poins that permits shipments of specie hither, The street Was surprised by the advices irom Washington ree specting THB ACTION OP THE HOUSR ON THE NEW TARIPP BILL such advices contributing their share to advance the gold premium. Mr. Dawes it was stated had moved to take up the bill, urging as # reason for prompt action upon it that if not passed the Treas- ury would be unable to meet curremt demands upon it, and an extra session of Congress would be necessary to raise revenue. The House, there- upon, by over thirty majority, refused to take up the bill, he significance of this action vy the House was largely commented upon, {ts most prom- iuent feature, the plain admission of the Chairmam oi tne Committee of Waysend Means, that without adaitional taxation the government would lap: inio bankruptcy, being ‘rst in the discussion. What wonder, then, that geld went up? The next Pointy however, was regarded as more curious, hy did the threat of an extra session (witn @ democratic House) prove so futile? Was it be- cause the present republican House would prefer to leave @ democratic Congress bebind it to pre- serve the liberties of the nation, rather than Temit these, 10 vacation, to the keeping of Presi- ‘dent Grant. Even those who considered the sub- | Ject didu’t seem to reach a fixed conclusion. but 1¢ was apparent tney kept up “a devil o/ a think- ing.” It was suggested tnat as the easiest way or checkmating apy ulterior designs the [’resi- dent might have, amd inorder to avoid an open coufict with nim, the present House may de- termine to delay the Appropriation bills ao thas | an extra session will be a necesaity, thus leaving the democrats behind im charge, so that the re- ublicam party may be held free of any vagaries irant’s peculiar policy might suggest to him if left without a keeper, These floating ideas are ail operating to auvance the gold premium, as it is | Datural that any exibition of weakness in the finaucial administrauion of the government whether in respect to policy or resources suould, A NEW STOCK BOARD THREATENED. A meeting Bas been called to conveneat the Fifth avenue Hotel, on Thursday evening next, to consider the project of a mew board o! brokers. | This purpose has arisen out of the opposition ; to the new commission fates, which, it 1s claimed, bear harshly upon tne mass of brokers, to the advantage of | alew. Reminiscences, too, of the days of Open Board, when there was almost @ constant “call” tm progress on the sireet and business Was correspondingly animated, uelp forward the new purpose. This Open Board was started im just the same way it 18 proposed to start a new board now, but “there were giants in those days’? in Wall street. But who are the leaders fob ted A new board, there can be little doubt, if tairly started under good auspices, would stimulate business, THE DECLINE IN ATLANTIC’ AND PACIFIC. Asharp decline tu this stock yesterday was exe plained by the announcement of a further reduc tion im telegraph tolls. Toe rivalry between this company and Western Union is certainly hs | one. It remains yet to be seen how successiul willbe. The pubiic, however, will have reason to congratniate themselves snould tt resu't in secur ing lor them that great boon, cheap telegraphy.
