been the extreme firmness of United States

April opened with a continuance of the extreme stringency in
generally remained steady through a stringency in money, which
in our review of March; nor was the relief experienced was
forcing down the value of all other securities; aud so soon as
which was expected to follow the completion of the
quarterly state¬ the
Treasury relaxed its hold upon the banks, quotations advanced
ments of the banks.
On the contrary, up to about the middle of
with unusual strength, until at the close of the
month the market

ranged 2@4 per cent above quotations at the same period of last
banks the rate was very generally 7 per cent in gold, and not unfreyear. This advance appears to have been due chiefly to the
pur¬
queutly
per cent per day. Money came back from the country
chases of Seven-Thirties
by the Treasury, and partially to an anti¬
banks quite promptly after the statement-day ;
but as rapidly as
cipation among dealers that a large amount of bonds would be
it came, it was taken out of the hands of the banks into the Subrequired for the investment of May interest.

company has been started which, if
have the effect of facilitating our communication

properly worked, may
with India. Our com.
munication with India has been so bad it seems high time tbat a better
system should be inaugurated. We receive telegrams daily from New
York and Havana, but from the East, even when the
existing lines are
in working order, four or five
days elapse before a message can be
received in London from Bombay. The latest telegram received at the
present time is to the 6th of April, or 12 days since. The new com¬
pany is called the India European Telegraph Compauy, and it is pro¬
posed to construct lines of communication through Prussia, Russia and
Persia, thus confining the sea cables to the German Ocean and the Per
sian Gulf.
Unfortunately, the delay in our communication with India
at the present time is cause l by the Persian Gulf Cable, tbat cable
being broken between Gwadur and Mussendom. With the whole in
working order, however, a telegram ought to be sent through in a much
less time than four days.
The Consol market, though
quiet, ba9 been steady. At one period
prices were rather firmer, and a rise of £ was established, but that
improvement has since been lost. Egyptian securities' have been
depressed, owing to the embarrassed state of the finances of the Vice
roy. Most foreign securities have, in fact been rather weaker, the prin.
cipal exception being Peruvian 5 per cents, which have been as high as
82£ ; but home securities have ruled firm, and the tendency of prices
has been favorable. The highest aud lowest prices of Consols on

activity in government secu¬
rities has continued without abatement, and prices have further
advanced. There has been a continued activity in orders from the
interior; and the dealers have been large buyers in anticipation of
free purchases by holders of May coupons. The present prices of
governments are much atove what has ever been experienced at
this season of the year, and are somewhat remarkable considering
that, until within a few days past, money has been quite stringent.
The government purchases of Seven-Thiriies, apparantly without
any important sales of bonds, may have contributed to this extraordinaiy firmness to a certain extent; but the more potent cause is
probably to be found in the indisposition of investors to use their
means in railroad shares,

whole steady. There

strictly moderate speculative movement. Parties who
amounts of gold bought at higher

made strenuous attempts to force up the
price; but with each advance there have been large sellers who
have defeated their efforts.
The conviction appears to be very
general that, considering the commercial situation, gold should rule
at much lower prices.
The present indications favor the supposi¬
tion that the shipments of specie in May will be much less than was
expected. The demand for foreign exchange to-day has been quite
light, contrary to expectation; and orders have been received for
the return of a considerable amount of bonds instead of gold gainst
the coupons of foreign bondholders; so that it is now estimated that
fully two-thirds of the gold paid out in the way of M y interest
will be kept at-home ; while, on the other hand,'the mercantile de¬
mand for exchange is very limited, and it is supposed that importers
have already in a large measure paid for their importations. These

probably induce a material fall in the premium, but for
pendency of impeachment. It is generally expected that, in the
event of the conviction of the President, there will be a certain
amount of excitement favorable to a temporary advance in the
price ; and in view of this few venture to sell “ short.” The total
amount of com interest due to-day is close upou $27/00,000, of
which about $21,000,000 is payable at the Sub Treasury ; about
$5,000,000 was paid out to-day.

Board during the week closing with Friday, are shown in the fol¬

noticed in our last, has become more developed under a steady
demand in nearly all departments. This buoyancy must, there¬

advance claimed by the manufacturers on account of the en¬

improvement, when the
demand for actual consumption is stimulated by warmer
weather. It is impossible now to foretell the future course
of prices—but the indications point towards increased firm¬

figures. Cotton goods have not yet advanced proportion¬
ately with the raw material, and manufacturers cannot con¬
tinue to sell at the prices now current. The turn in trade is,
therefore, dependent very much upon the cotton market, and
the prospects of that market are fully discussed in our very
thorough and extended report published on a previous page.

since our previous re¬

demand has been more active in all the most de¬
at about last week’s prices.
Domestic Woolens have been more active, the demand running
chiefly on the most favorite makes of Summer cassimeres, fancy coat¬
ings, &c., for immediate trade, at fair prices.' Th re has been also a
limited demand for ladies cloakings, and some styles have been dis¬
tributed at a reduction. The better grades, however, are held firm.
Messrs. TowDsend and Yale the well known agents of the Keystone
Knitting Mills, offer some very fine styles of Spring Shawls which can
not fail to attract attention. Their card will be found on the last page
The attention of the trade is asked to the card of Messrs. 0. B. A J

agents for Joseph Greers’ checks, and for the sale of many other
