The changes tn our quotations are a decline of >4

Government Stoeks. The latter are comparatively 
scarce on the market, and although the Treasury of¬ 
fered «>n Wednesday to buy $ 2 , 000 , 1 **) United States 
5-20* at or below Hie price Of Gold, only $000,000 Bonds 
were obtained on these terms. In the Railroad*, the 
decline Is 4 per cent, from the extreme price of last 
week on Frle Stock. Thera Is an ndvancc of 3 iter 
cent, on Rock Island, while New York Central, the 
Northwest*, the St. Pauls, Luke Shore. Ohio*, and 
Union Pacific are about the sum* ngures as on the 
previous report, There 1* * strong *ppeu)atlon In 
Western Telegraph and Pacific Mall, and both are 
4 per cent, higher than last weak. The Express 
Stock* are 3 |ier cent, higher on United States. 
The Batik report shows a further Increased strength 
of five millions in Greenbacks, and Money has settled 
down to a comfortable supply to the Brokers and 
Merchants, at 7 per cent, per annum. 
The Gold exports, usual at tlyis season of the year, 
are still delayed by a supply of Btlls drawn against 
various American Stocks which have been going 
abroad only about a million of Gold went out Inst 
week. 
In general trade business Is falling off In Dry Goods, 
while tn Sugars, Metals, etc., the demand continues 
good and the Importations targe-. Congress has voted, 
and (he President approved, Free Ten and Coffee, the 
ant t,, go Into effect July 1. This takes a tax of 16 
cents the pound off Tea* and 3 cents the pound off 
Coffee, There Will not tie much trade In either until 
the duty Is taken off. The current importations will 
go into Bonded" Warehouses to await the operation of 
the new act. 
It Is reasonably certain that little else will be done 
with the Tariff tills season, and quire sure that tho 
Income Tux will ho dropped.
