The developements In financial circles to-day were generally of a favorable character, but they exert ed no Influence on speculation, which is particularly dead, at the time being. The MoKlnley letter of acceptance was re ceived with favor, at least that part which referred to the currency question. More Important than this, so far as the street is concerned, was the announce ment of the engagement of additional amounts of gold in Europe for shipment to New York and the further weakening In Sterling exchange. Posted rates for sixty days' bills were reduced half cent to 4SS'4, while demand bills actually sold as low as 4830484. So far as known nearly $10,000,000 gold have been engaged for Im portation to this country, ami good au thorities estimato the Inflow during the next thirty days at twice this amount. On the arrival of this fresh cuptlal money rates ought to weaken, and this usually Is a bull argument. Today money on call ranged from 6 to 15 per cent, until near the close, when unemployed balances were offered at 1 per cent. J. P. Morgan & Co. were responsible for the break In the rate from 15 to 1 per cent., while the market for stocks was In a state of uncertainty; the undertone was steady. The market closed uletq and steady In tone, with prices generally V,aVj per cent, above yes terday's final quotations. Total sales were only 8a,2J9 shares. Furnished by WILLIAM LINN.
