General noha Sisoa oes 1,749,304 2,449,876 g:riesmnon of ora feng comune io te | Toulteaer tiny ieatn wteentm | An Intelligent Jury of Twelve well maintained, notwithstanding this stagnation, by the bull party, headed by a well known railroad director, familiarly styled “Uncle Daniel.” At the first session of the board Erie closed 3 highor than at yesterday's seo- ond board, Cleveland and Pittsburg 3, Fort Wayne 34, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 34, Prairie du Chien 17%. ‘The advance in the latter stock is duo to a special move- ment looking to the probability of increased earnings by the extreme Western roads for some little time to come in onsequence of crop transportation. Quicksilver was un- “changed. There was a sale of Bank of Commerce stock at 1043¢, of that of the Bank of the Republic at 102, and of the Central National Bank at 105. Government securities were firm. Coupon five-twentics of the old issue were steady at 106%, new issue 105, sixes of 1881 107, ten-forties 97%. Owing to the scarcity of five-twenties in the street, and the outstanding short interest in them, theré is thus far no sign of their yield- ing in price in consequence of the decline in the foreign market, but at present prices there is no inducement to export them. The Persia’s news roports five-twenties in London on the 12th inst. at 67 a 6734. At the open board at one o'clock quotations were a fraction higher ona portion of the railway list. At the second regular board the market was oxtremely dul, but firm. Erie closed % higher than at the first board, Fort ‘Wayne %, Prairie du Chien 1%. Reading and Obio and Missiesippi certificates were unchanged. Government securities continued firm. ‘At the opan board at half-past three “Uncle Daniel,” Tepresented by the “Deer Slayer,” bid up the market for Erie, upon which there was arush to sell, and 8,200 shares changed hands, more than half being in favor of the former. The decline of Erie onthe London Stock Exchange from 56 a 57 to 54}¢ a 55 has evidently not had the effect of making the bull party relax their efforts; and, although the groat operator at their head is saddled with a very heavy load of stocks, ho is also furnished with a very long purse, into which a million anda half of doltars is supposed to have dribbled from the delin- quent Edward B. Ketchum’s unsuccessful speculations. Erie closed on the call at 85, New York Central 91%, Hudson River 10814, Reading 103%{, Michigan Southern 62%, Cleveland and Pittsburg 6834, Northwestern 27%, preferred 61%, Rock Island (b3) 106%, Fort Wayne 95, Prairio du Ohien 45%, Atlantic Mail 153. The petroleum stock market was dull at the first board. ‘Webster closed 29c. lower than at the same time yester- day, Occanic 10c., and United States 65c. At the second board the market was irregular. Pit Hole Creek closed at $10, Oceanic at $1 12, Buchanan Farm 59¢., Webster $2 01, Cherry Bea (b3) 23c., Excelsior $165, United States $27 50, Beoch ‘Tree $4 20. ‘The gold market has been firm, but without much ac- tivity. The opening price was 143%, followed by an ad- vanoe to 143%, a decline of %, anda recovery to 143%, at which it closed. ‘There has been very little done in foreign exchange, but drawers show little disposition to relax their rates, For prime sixty day bills 10934 a 110 is asked; but sales, second hand, have been made at 1095. The money market is very sluggish, and the Stock Ex- change affords employment for only a small portion of the loanable finds at command. The general rate for call loans is six per cent, with occasional transactions at five and seven. -The discount line is dull, but the dis- trust of commercial paper, as well as of stock collaterals, which immediately followed the Ketchum exposé has worn off. The pest signatures are taken at Ta8and the second grade at 9 @ 10 per cent. The consistoncy of the Internal Revenue Department in its decis'ons is shown by two of recent date relative to the taxation of ‘sales of ships as merchandise. Not long since the Deputy Commissioner, Mr. Rollins, wrote in reply to an inquiry on the subject:—“You ask, ‘Are sales of ships by brokers subject to the tax of one- eighth of one per cent?’ I reply that ships constitute merchandise, and if any licensed broker sclls the same he is liable to tax on sales.” This morning it is telegraphed by the associated press from-Washington that “the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to-day made the following decision :—‘That vessels are not to be Fegaricd as merchandise within the meaning of section ninety-nine of the act of June 30, 1864, and the tax of one-eighth of one per cent imposed by sald section upon the sale of merchandise is not to be assessed on the sale of vessels.’ "” ‘These conflicting decisions reflect little credit upon the department at Washington, and have the effect of con- fusing the public mind as to the law upon the points de- cided. It is needless to say that a decision once ren- tered by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should be final, so far as his department is concerned. The ex- ceptions to this rule have been sufficiently numerous to shake confidence generally in the decisions of the Inter- nal Revonue Department, as every one interested is mado to feel that the decision of to-day may be contra- dicted hereafter. The effect of the short panic last week in New York fs shown in thie following statement of the Philadelphia banks for the weck ending August 22:— August 16. August 22.

The bank will have a good surplus after this large @istribution of profits. ‘The Chicago Tribune of the 21st saya: — ‘There is no new feature to report in monetary circles , As has been the case during the week, the de- br for money has been light, and the indisposition of th to eniarge their line of transactions is as post- at any previous day. Until the excitement caused the unfortunate financial operation in New York shall have @ntiroly died away, and confidence restored, our banks'will not extond discount faoilities except to thelr most valued customers. This they consider the path of Guty aswell as the path of safety. Very fortunately the demands of trade at this time call for no departure from this determination, as the markets are very quict, with @0 dispostiion to operate.
