Kimber & Helser, and Bfy others. The fight opened at 10 A, M,, with gold at 159, The bull cligue seemed unusually quiet, A Quarter of au hour passed, and 150 was still the ruling gure, ‘The Secretary seemed in no wise ‘overrun with business, and the telegraph operator worked lis machine and conversed glibly with the Dystandors, At 10:90 the situation was about the same, the morket still standing at 150, The bears ‘Were cautious, and evidently suspicious that this skirmishing was preliminary to a bitter Gight, TUB GRAND CHARGE OF THE BULLS.

The latter amount was promptly accepted. The prompt ncceptance of this bid, le the bears were selling to their own crowd at 185, gave the bulla Fenewed confidence During the two minutes preceding this bid the Market price had stood at 162}y, 162, 161, and 160%, Mr. Speyoe's bid w cepted under great excite ment, The dears, though dismayed, were vot panic. stricken, Even in tho OM, Speyer's bid the remium dropped to 159, quickly rallied to 160, gain it touched 159, and a third time touched 100, FIRST MINT FROM WASHINOTON This wavering is easily explained. A prominent bull, while within lis office watcbing the telegrams from the Gold Room, received a private despateh from an employee of the Treasury Department in Washington, informing him that Boutwell, would positively sell $4,000,000 to-day, The rumor reached the Gold Room just as Messrs, Haligarten & Co., ia view ot Mr. Brown's success in placing so las nount at inviting a price on the ed & million at th price. taken up. by other p t before the whole was absorbed the tert F was circuluted throughout the room, This in- siantly paralyged the bulls to such an extent that the prico fell to 158, and then to 180.
