Money’ on Call 7 a 1-32 of 1 Per Cont ‘ Per Diem a 5 Per Cent. ‘fuuRspay, mmreh 18 P. ie. Between the conviction sedulonsly expressed by the bears that a future pinch in the money market must inevitably oceur and tho equally well founded epinion of the bulls that no pinch will occur at all prices of stocks remained to-day in @ state of equili- brio similar to that ascribed in the Koran to Mohammed's coffin, which is popularly sup” posed by good Moslems to float midway between the heaven of a rise and the hades of a fall. In a fractional way there was more of a rise than of @fallto this morning’s market, prices in most in- stances holding their own, and in the case of such stocks as Northwestern common and Delaware and Lackswanna even advancing. The rate for money, however, “rules tho roust’” in the Board room &s thoroughly as did the turnspit rule thebaron of beef” in medimval kitchens, and upon the fact whether the demand for loanable funds is overdone or underdoue depends the appetite of buy- ers or sellers of stocks. Bulls were more hungry than bears to-day, for the simple reason that circum- stances favored cheaper money and acted like chablis and oysters in whetting their appetite for thelong ‘side of the account. These circumstances ‘were derivable partially from the recognition of the fact that the apprehension of tight moncy has been greatly exaggerated, but mainly from the assurances conveyed in the following letter trom Secretary Sher- ‘ WASHINGION, March 26, 1879. \ Jaws GILFILLAN, Esq., ‘Treasurer United States :— |.

Veuy respectfully, "JOHN ‘SHERMAN, Secretary. With this expression of a desire upon the part of ‘the Treasurer to keep money easy, and the manifest a@dvautage to the banks to help him to do so, it is not probable that any continued stringency is likely to ‘ocemr, The stock market remained dull and strong, but without interest. A comparative gain of $15,000 “48 reported in Northwestern for the current week, and Washington despatches announce the passage through the House committ& of ¢he whole of the rider tothe Army bill permitting railroads to transact a public telegraph business. Asa matter of fact the report of earnings was more powerful rthan the report of the bill, for although the North- ‘westerns went up Western Union refused to go down, as it decently should have done, under the adverse legislation. ‘The opening, highest, lowest and closing prices of stocks at the New York Stock Exchange to-day were os thlows:-— oes: +Detaware and Hudson. . 38% Western Union Tel. 6 Pacttic Mail.
