The bears wero unusually aggressive, having been encouragad in their operations by the closing of the Madison Square bank, the continued high premiums paid for currency and gold and rumors, afterwards denied, that the General Electric's paper had gone to protest, On the other hand, there was little or no support from any quarter. The heaviest de- were a in- were by per = cent in lectric, 8 in Chicago in Western Union, #lg Burlington, 2if m Sugar, 2 in lacka- wanna and 15 in Manhattan and Rock Islaud. The offerings were not particularly heavy and the losses resulted chicfly from the lack of supporting orders. As on yes terday the sclling of the long account was comparatively light, » fact which made itself felt during the last hour of business, when the whole market took on strength and advanced anywhere from 1to 4 pomts, Sugar and General Electrie led the upward movement, the latter on the announcement that the friends of the company had pro- vided the $,000,00 necessary to liquidate the floating debt. When thebears attempted to cover they found the supply of stocks much smaller than expected, und the result 4s a regulun scramble to purchase near tho close. The heavy influx of gold was not ithout its mtiuence in_stimuluting the late recoy The transactions _aggregated 249,176 “shares, including 59,1857 unlisted. Speculation left off strong in tone with quotations in a those of yesterd Tho Post suys: How far the new supply of money now rolling in upon New York will case the situation is one of the problems of the market. The fortnight beginning with last Saturday will have added to our stock of imported gold upwards of $20,000.000. Not less than 310,000,000 more will come for new bank cireulation. The gold must continue to flow in from Europe as long as the local pre- mium exists; for a bid of 1 per cent, it should be remembered, offse of fully dc ubove the par of sterling exchange. Today #,500,000 more is engaged in London. The Bank of Englaud, to meet the American demand, is_drawimg now on the Bank of S wold—u very natural recoursc, sieo Prench bank held today $69,000,000 more thanits business needs required two years ago. . What then is to becomeof this new monc when it reaches us? It has not yet eased number of instances above perceptibly the lime loan market. Wall strect to. predicts that it, too, will be hoarded and the dismal prediction may come true in part if_congress does not act. Some of tho gold will certainly go into the wving banks, some to the interior banking centers, which 1 contradiction of all pre- us examples are now buying specie by direct and personal representatives in Loa- don. But this cannot use the wholo imported stock and in any case even such disgposition of the money will ease the strain on the larger centers of capi In short, the movement imounts to a currency expan- sion of £0,000.000 in & fortnight.
