Money being somewhat easier, and
rates, which had reached as high as. )(,
per cent. ochnutission besides legal inter
est, could .be procured on prime
laterals at 7 per cent currency, and a
small commission: This influenced gold,
bonds and stocks in favor of higher quo
tations for gold, the market remaining
firm at 1313, with a decidedly strong un
dertone.
E2l
Bonds, although strong at the early
board, had :yielded a little, but at the
close had reached the highest quotation
of the day. - The slightest indication of
an easy - money market would attract
so many bUyers that a short rise would
be inevitable.
Stocks are now manipulated by the
Erie clique:. Fort Wayne is kept up for
the purpose of selling out, and the 'ru
mors of a consolidation of Fort Wayne
and Cleveland keep the market firm in
the latter; both roads have declared their
2% per cent. dividend. Money in the
local market is still scarce,although busi
ness has not much improved.

NEW YORK, March 31,1869.
Affairs in Wall street are in a very
mixed state, and we have witnessed to
day the reinarkable circumstance of a
general upward movement in valuta§ on
Stock Exchange, in the face of an un
usually stringent money market and the
complete demoralization of foreign ex
change. This naturally excites con
siderable • discussion, but it is merely
a repetition of the bull programme of
the past year, when prices advanced
on tight money, and afterwards de
clined on general tearing up in financial
affairs. The imports of gold and'amount
on way, being variously estimated at
one to six millions of dollars,. is very
generally discussed. It is the result of
recent heavy purchases -of bonds by for
eign bankers and the''sales of gold
against thein. In 'the - money mar
ket the stringent demand continued very
urgent until after bank hours. On govern
ments loans made, were at 7 per cent.gold
early in the day,• but later at 7 per
cent. gold and 1-32 per cent comthission,,
while at the close there were transac
tions at 7 per cent. currency • and y, per,
- cent commission onlitocks. - Early built'
res, was at 7 per cent. gold, but later , at
7 per cent. , currency, nrlth coMmissioni
added of i-ia@g per cent.
After 8 o'clock a large crowd gathered on
the sidewalk, in front' of the stook-ex
change, and commenced to buy and sell.
Money sales were' made at 1-16®3‘ and
X'Per cent., and
.7 per cent. for currency

LIVE STOCK MARKETS.-
PENN'A CENTRAL STOCK YARDS, t
WEDNESDAY, Meth 31; 1869.
CATTLE—The market has.been rather
dull thus far this week ,the sales in the
aggregate being comparatively light, and
under the influence of unfavorable ad
vices from the east, buyers are insisting
on concessions. There were several
droves of good shipping steers sold for
New York at prices ranging from 7; ;to
7X and it is prdbable that extra tine,
such as sold a few weeks since at 83/,
would have brought- 7X, or perhaps 2 8
eta. I; is said, and we haVeAao doubt it
is true, that nearly all thaoperatorsiVtio
have been buying • cattle here for ship
ment for several weeks past, have lost
money, and as a consequence they are
unwilling to take any more risk than
they can possibly avoid.
Peter Rieman, whe heretofore has been
one of our largest cattle; buyers for New
York, has quit the business and engaged
in the hog trade, in connection with the
arm of Crouse, Em erick 6t - Co., of Phila
delphia.
We were unable to get a full report of
the sales of cattle. Holmes. Lafferty &
Co sold 18 head to E Young weighing
20,775, at 74; 14 to same buyer weighing
15,925, at 734; 13 to Kelly weighing
13,700, at 734;.91 to Beach & Bray weigh
ing 107,625, at 7g; and 15 to same weigh
ing 18.000, at 7'. . •
SHEEP—The market for this class of
stock continues very dull, and notwith
standing the arrivals are not unusually
heavy, the demand is only'moderate and
prices are lower than last week. -We
quote at 5 to 7 cts gross, for fair to prime
tar mutton sheep, and these may be re
garded as tho extremes of the market.
There has been several droves of clipped
sheep in. market within the -past few
days, and buyers are making a difference
of about a cent per. pound between
clipped and wooled sheep. The sales on
dates below mentioned were 'as follows:
Monday March 2 872 head

shade lower, while'Yorkers are a frac
don higher than at the close of last week= :.: fornier may be qnoted at 11W1134, -
and the latter at 93%,@a 10/. The recipta
