The stock market opened firm this morning at the ad- Saturday evening, and at the carly session of ‘vance o| wn the opea board New York Central sold at 9435, Erie 9114, Michigan Southern 694s a 34, Cleveland and Pittsburg 78 A ITK, Rock I 4a %, Northwostern 325, pre- lerred 53%, Fort Wayne 9534, Schuylkill Coal (8.3) 1534. ‘At the first regular board Northwestern, Pittsburg and old Southern were the most active of the railway shares, New York Central closed 34 higher than at the same time on Saturday, Erie 3, Hadson River 34, Read- ing 9, Michigan Southern 134, Cleveland and Pittsburg 11g, Northwestern %, preferred 3, Rock Island 114, Fort ne 1, Cumberland 1%, Quicksilver 14, Ohio and Mississippi certifleates 1, Atlantic Mail 3. Government securities were firm, Coupon five-twenties of the arigina issue advanced 3g, seven-thirty notes of the socond ani third series 34. At tho one o'clock sessions the market was heavy, un- dor a false rumor that the Committeo of Ways and Means had reported Mr, Morrill’s finance bill favorably to the House of Representatives, It afterwards appeared, how- ever, that there was noquorum of the committee to-day, but that it was their intention to take up the bil! to-mor- row. At the half-past two board the market was dull and prices declined a fraction further. Erie closed 14 lower than at the first board, Reading 34, Michigan Southera 144, Cleveland and Pittsburg 12%, Northwest- eru L\, preferred +s, Rock Island 144, Fort Wayne %, Quicksilver 14, Cumberland %. Government securities were Coupon ten-forties declined 34, seven- thirty notes of the second series 1. At the open board at half-past threo the market im- proved in tone, and prices advanced % a % per cent, Michigan Southern, Cleveland and Pittsburg and Erie being the strongest stocks onthe list. Erie closed on the cail at 91%, New York Central 93%, Reading 102, Catawissa 59, preferred 90, Michigan Southern 63'j, Cleveland and Pittsburg 76%, Rock Island 104, North. western 3114, Fort Wayne 95, Ohio and Mississippi cer tificates 2924, Schuylkill Coal 1534, Cumberland 4334, Mar posa 1376. Afterwards, on the street, there was a further rise in Michigan Southern, Pittsburg and Erie, At balf-past Ave o'clock 92 was bid for Erie, 77 for Cleveland and Pitts- burg, 6376 for Michigan Southern. Rock Island was quoted at 103% a 104, Northwestern 313{ a 32, preferred 57% a 58, Fort Wayne 94% a 95, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 2634 a 34, Gold ruled steady, and loans were made at 4 a 5 per cent in favor of the lender during the early part of the day, and 1-32 late in the afternoon. The opening price was 1393, followed by an advance of 34, a relapse of 14, anda recovery at the close of business to 13934. The forergn exchange market was dull, but there was 8 larger supply of Southern bankers’ bills offering. Those were quoted at 108%. Leading drawers asked 108° a 109 for their bills on England at sixty days, but natures sold at 108%. ‘The bank statement indicates a growing accumulation of loanable funds at this centre, the deposits having undergone a further increase of $2,234,745, and the legal -tender notes of $1,402,470. The loans have at the same timo beon extended $1,753,134, owing mainly to temporary deposits in the Sub-Treasury, purchases of government securities and discounts, the demand for loans from the Stock Ex- change last week having been very light. Tho specie shows an unusual increase of $1,074,097, which may be malaly due to the banks counting the government coin certificates in their hands as specie, and in a minor de- gree to withdrawals from private hoards, There is also an increase of more than half a million inthe circulation. Monoy was offered to-day on loan at call in large amounts at five per cent, and it was impossibble to em- ploy ail Lat was offéred at this rate, while in exceptional cases four per cent wes accepted in preference to altowing the capital to romain idle. The rato generally asked, however, for miscollaneous accommoda> tion was six per cent. The disconnt line is reported easier. First class commercial papor at short date is taken promptly at seven per cent, and long dates at eight. The ordinary grade is rated at 8 a9, and second class at 10a 12. ‘The stringency in the Western cities, produced by the active demand for accommodation from the pork packers, stili continues, although the Cincinnati journals of Saturday report greater ease under an increased sup- ply and diminished demand for currency. At Chi- cago on Friday some of the banks are reported to have eacrificed some of their Eastern exchange in order to meet the demands upon them, and some salesof the la:ter were made ap OW As 3 discount; but the regular rate is yf a 1.10 unt buying, and par to 1-10 premium sellingy At Cincinnati exchange on the samo day was generally quoted at par buying, and 1-10 pre mium selling. Notwithstanding that there bas been a ward during the last two or three light in comparison with the sur- 10 have been felt, while the last three is have shown a steady increase ip apply of moncy at this centre, the influx being greater than the e‘lux; avd this cundition of the money market {8 likely to be prolonged. ‘The sem|-snnual interest on two hundred and thirty millions of seven-thirty notes, under the act of March 3, 1865, amounting to $8,396,000, fell duc today. To morrow tho half yearly intorest on $640,000 of the bonds issued to the Eastern division of the Union Paciilc Rall- way, ating to $19,200, will be payable, as also $55,949, tho interest on $1,898,000 of bonds issued to the Centra! Pacific Railway. The Sub-Treasury disbursed $173,000 to-day on account of the first mentioned The deciine of last week on the Stock Exchange Drought in orders to buy from outside parties to a consid 4 these aided materially in rallying the the latter, although very much overrated, at extent under the coutrol of the bears, is still te wio have been strengthened by the fall, and who put ther (rst mainly in the apprehensions of the people coa- ceruing contraction of the currency and a resumption Of spe mente. The new finance bill they regard with peculiar pleasure, as tending to excite those and produce a corresponding disturbance of values; but all thinking mou acquainted with the facts of the financial aituation are aware that, however unlimited the authority of the Secretary of tho Treasury may bo, he is virtually poworiess, unless he deliberately bankrupts the country, tomater ally contract the currency until after the twelve ed millions of floating liabilities outstanding are A or redeemed in greenbacks, and meanwhile the a! bank iseues will have largely inflated it; and, notwithstanding all talk to the contrary, the indicatioas ave more in this dircetion than the other, Further in tion to any great extent is, however, to be as much guarded against as premature contraction. It is reported that the House Committee of Ways and Means are opposed to that provision of the new flnauce bill which empowers the Secretary to issue a distinct foreign bond, the interest of which isto be payable in forciga coin ia Evrope, or to sell bonds of any kind for foreiga exchang+, but that if Mr. McCulloch insists upon its retention (hey will report it to the House as it stands, leaving the latter to deal with it, In this event consuiers ne «opposition will probably be devel oped t+ thero, and certain limitations to its powers mately imposed, although Congress has an aplited © the restof mankind, for getting md of work aut seponsibility by shifting the burden to other shoulders, Should the bill not pass in its original fora the torrorism which the “bears” expect {t to oxorcive over the cotomunity will be removed, and they wil! dod it a damper upon their operations in the s! ke falling of last week will give place to t! hopefitoes which the future of the country, provided it be wel! managed, should inspire; and for this we look.

Continuation of the Coroner's Inquest— Testimony of the Doctor of the Ship and Others. The investigation into the particulars of the inhuman treatment of Mrs. M. A. Gilroy, a passenger on board the ship Neptune, which resulted in ber death, was con- Unued yesterday before Coroner Gover, and although several witnesses were examined it is almost impossible as yet to ascertain the proper person on whom to throw the blame, The testimony taken yesterday is as fol- lows:— TESTIMONY OF THE THIRD MATE. Henry Walls, third mate of tho ship Neptune, was the first witness, and upon being sworn testifled:—I live at No, 62 avenne Dj I sailed from this city in the ship Nep- tune on her last voyage out; we left Liverpool in No- vembor last 1 one hundred and eighty strerag> passengers aboard; we hada tedious passage, but all the passengers as far as 1 know were in good health; I had nothing to do with them; when the ship arrived at the dock on Tuesday evening last I went down between decks, and one of the passengers told me. that a woman was being confined; I saw Dt. Herrick down with the woman; I know nothing particularly regarding his attention to her case, but I have never seen a ship's surgeou more attentive to the crew and_pa-sen- gers during the voyage; when I went below on Tuesday evening where deceased was I found the steerage very cold and the place n confusion, on acco nt of the passen- gers getting ready to go ashore; abont two o'clock Wed- nesday morning I heard that deceased was delivered of a stillborn child; cannot say whether the doctor wasin attendance upon ber until the child was born; do not know when she was removed into the main cabin; saw her there Thursday morning about ten o'clock; Dr. Her- rick and a woman were in attendance upon her; did not 87e the deceased again; last spring I caine out’ to this country in the ship Neptune, and when opposite Castle Garden we anchored and were taken there.
