Gold opened strong at 1301, advance& to

tendency at 13E4, with little - gold offering,

feet of lowering the.premium; the balance
of trade being against us with a large
amount of interest dne European bondhold
ers. So long as 'money was scarce and
dear and gold cheap, ,the Government of
- at New York sold gold- to tighten-up
money market still more, and supply the
foreign bankers with cheap, gold, but now
when the market is rising and the money
market easier, the Government stopped
gold sales.
Government bonds had advanced j per
cent. from last'night's . quotations, but to
wards the close the market fell off about
. 14: per cent.
The stock market was firmer and a gen
eral advance took place on the entire list,
brit at the close there was'a slight decline,
usual after a suaaen rise trom any depres
sion . of magnitude. Local stocks are not
in demand and are rather lower, and quo 7

—Belding, Keith & Co., the American
bankers, in London, in their. last' circular
speaking of our national debt says:
Develop our farming, mining, manufac
turing, mechanical, and commercial inter
ests for the next twenty or thirty years,
and the debt will be paid without its bur
den being feltbut to effect this there must
be withdrawn the influence of foreign mar
kets on our bonds at hpme, and our bonds
at home must not pay such n rate of inter
est-as will cause' millions who ought to be
engaged in developing the country in many
forms, to invest' in their country's bonds,
and liVe drones where they should in some
form be busy beeS.
—We clip the following.from the Chicago
Tribitne,, of Monday: In grain circles
there has been a
. good deal of. conversion
for a day or two, in relation to :The dating
back of warehouse receipts.. The occasion
for it grew out of the following circum
stance: Mr. A sold Mr B. some 25,400
bushels corn, sellers' option, at certain
price. The corn came by canal on or about
the 6th. The party who received it was
the seller and he requested the warehouse:.
man in whose elevator it was stored to date
the receipt April Ist instead of April 6th.
The storage for the • five days was ;4 cent,
which to him was a clear profit: The buyer
of the corn requested the warehouseman to
give,him a receipt dated April Gth in lieu
of the one dated on ;the . lst-the day the
property was received into store—which
the latter agreed to do; provided the buyer
would refund the i cent paid to the con
signee. The transaction was a. sharp one,
and although the receipt - Was pronounced
"regular," the purchaser was out 3:4 cent.
In other words the receipt, if dated April
6, would run five days longer than if
dated April 5, and at the expiration of the
first twetity days, when 2 cents storage
would have accumulated, an extra charge
of cent is made for each addititional five.
days.
All the rest'cif the Wiiiehousesi, save the
one alluded to, condemn' the operation in
the most positive terms:- and many go so
far as to say that it is a palpable violation
of the warehouse law. It certainly is-dls
reputable and dishonorable and we trust
that it may never • again be perpetrated.
Our Board of Trade does not, and we hope
may never - resemble Waif street,in the
"sharpness" of its Operations. -- ".
—Says the Philadelphia Ledger, of. Mon
day: The money market at the close of
business was easier and rates lower, both
here and at. New. York. This is no doubt
in some measure , attributable to the itn
proved condition of the New York banks,
their statement of averages for the week
having obtained -publicity early on Satur
day afternoon. 'This drain upon the banks
was no doubt caused by the sale of gold
from the Treasury. It is evident, however,
on the face face of the statement; that
money is gradually on its return from the
interior „and all the Seaboard „cities may
naturally expect a _ steady increase of
money and, lower rates of,,,lnterest. It is
believed thrit,all chanceifora money panic
Arelxist, And that there -nuist:be a 'steady
return to ease 'from, ; this time out. The
fact that no .failures of. any consequence
