4 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL . Tavaspay, April 26—6 P. M. The stock market opened strong this morning, but afterwards weakened under vague apprehensions re- epecting the effect here of the panic on the London Stock Exchange. These, however, were unwarranted, as the fact that all our business with Europe is transacted oa a specie basis removes any danger which might other- wise exist of a disturbance of monetary affairs on this sido in sympathy with sach a condition of things abroad. ‘The influences formerly exerted upon the money market here by foreign financial and commercial news of moment are now ‘confined to gold and foreign exchange, and all derangement outside of these is due to moral and not to material: causes. ‘There is, couse- quently, nothing in the tone of the advices from Europe to excite alarm or distrast, except so far as they may in- dicate a return of our securities, and the more of these that are sont back to ug the higher gold and exchange will of course ¢o; ‘ubiywe have not improbably already received the.worst news growing out of the Austrian-Prussian rapture, unless it should eventuate in actual and prolonged hostilities, In any event, how- ever, there will be no real cause for a decline of values either in the general markets or on the Stock Exchange, national gold-bearing securities, perhaps, excepted, and the latter will be strongly supported by the policy of the treasury. At the carly session of the open board New York Cen- tral (sales 1,400 shares) sold at 93% a %4, Erie 13%, Hudson River 110, Michigan Southern (sales 1,000 shares) 83%, Cleveland and Pittsburg (sales 1,000 shares) 84 a 8874, Cleveland and Toledo 105%, Rock Island 12254, Northwestern (gales 1,800 shares) 207% a 3034, preferred 5934, Fort Wayne (sales 1,100hares) 9924, Ohio and Mis- *ss\ppi certificates 26%, Canton 6734, Cumberland 46, Spruce Hill Coal 534 a 5, Mariposa preferred 22, At the first regular board the market was very active and firm. New York Central closed 34 higher than at the half-past two board, Hudson River 3¢, Reading 5, Ili- nois Central 1, Northwestern preferred %, Cleveland and Toledo 14, Rock Island %, Fort Wayne 34, Western Union Telegraph 134. Michigan Southern was 34 lower, Cleveland and Pittsburg 4, Mariposa preferred 34. ‘ Gov- ernment securities were freely dealt in. Coupon five- twenties of the 1862 issue were % higher, 1864 issue 34. Seven-thirty notes of the first and third series declined dé, second series 14. At the one o’clock sessions the market was dull and a fraction lower, except for Rock Island, under the un- favorable European advices by the Nova Scotian, roport- ing a continuance of the panic in the funds on the Lon- don Stock Exchange. Five-twenties were quoted on the th inst. at 673g a 3¢ ex-dividend, a circumstance which led some to exaggerate the declme, which is slight, as the bonds would have been worth about 70%, with coupons included, against 71% a 2{ on the previous date. This, however, leaves a margin for profit upon their importation of nearly eight per cent. Neverthe- lees, the old five-twentics here showed no symptoms of woaknoss, and sales were made as high as 10674 on the street after the receipt of the news.” All descriptions of foreign securities were depressed, and Erie suffered a farther fall of 13g per cent, and alinois Central of 114, the formor being quoted at 63 a 3¢ on the 13th and the latter at 7914 a 3¢. Consols, too, were heavy at 8575 a 86'{—a wider quotation than is usually given, which induces us to believe that there was not much change in them from the previous day, when they were reported as 863; a 44. Three failures on the Stock Exchange in consequence of the general decline were reported, and the extent to which the shares of a large majority of the new companies wore held had proved tobe much greater than was supposed, and a settling dowm of these securities into stronger bands was looked for. Later, the advices by the Africa reported a further falling off in American securities, Five-twenties clozed, in London on the 14th at 67 a 67%, Illinois Central 79 a 80, Brie 621g «53. Can- sais were steady at 867; a 8634. At the half-past two board the market was dull, but steady at the decline. New York Central closed 34 Jower than at the first regular board, Erie , Reading ‘4, Michigan Southern 3{, Cleveland and Pittsburg %, Northwestern 54, preferred %, Cleveland and Tolodo 1%, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 24, Fort Wayne %4, At- Vantico Mail %, Quicksilver 3¢. Rock Island was 1 Higher. Alton and Terre Haute, and Illinois Centrat “wore unaltered. Government securities were firm, and coupon five-twentics, of the 1862 iasne, advanced %. At the half.past three open board the election of Mr. Hard to the Presidency for the ensuing year was an- Hounced, The markat comtinned duit aust snthaw homeze Now York Central sold at 9274, Erie 73, Reading 1045,, Michigan Southern 83, Mlinois Central 120%. After- wards the market closed dull, but steady, and at half. past five New York Central was quoted at 92%; a %, Erie 727 «73, Hudson River 110 bid, Reading 10496 a %, Michigan Southern 8234 @ §, Cleveland and Pittsburg 825; a i, Rock Island 12334 a 34, Northwestern 29% a ‘MM, Proferred 685; a %, Fort Wayne 98% a 7,, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 26a 4, Canton 56% a %, Quick- silver 62% a 53, ‘The money market remains easy to the Siock Ex- change at 4a 5 per cont, and first class commercial paper at sixty days is rated at 6063s, and beyond that range at? The Treasury policy favors prolonged monetary ease, and thore is every probability that the Secretary will coon announce that no further temporary doposits will be received by the Sub-Treasurors, and that the rate on the outstanding six per cont deposits will be reduced to five per cent, say after the 15th of next month. This will have the effect of throwing more money than hitherto into Wall street, which will of course be available for speculative uses. The proposed course of Mr, McCulloch in this respect is imperatively called for in view of the present condition of the Treasu- ry, the idle balance in the Sub-Treasary ere this evening being nearly ninety-five millions. The gold market strengtheaed under the European news. The opening quotation was 12734, followed at noon by an advance (o 128, a subsequent relapeo to 1274, and a final recovery to 127% a 128, the closing quotation at five P, M. ‘There was a brisk borrowimg demand for coin for delivery and the eupply was scarce, loans being generally made at 7.52.0 '¢ per cont perdiom. The payment of the May coupons is expected to ease the market; but although a little more than twenty millions will be disbursed on this account, nearly half the amount will be due to foreigners abroad, and the eupply in the hanks hax run so tow that the remainder will be rapidly absorbed to re- plenish rerorves. The forcign exchange market was very firm at an advance, and the supply of bills extremely limited. Beakers’ bills on England at sixty days closed at 108%; @oree days 108);, commercial bills 107}; » 108, france at sixty days 5.25 05.20, short sight 5,17!4 05.15. The decline of 2d., the equivalent of four cents, in cotton at Liverpool during the week ending on the 14th inst, is regarded as favorable to diminished ship- ments at present, while the condition of the Raropean market for American alike with other sccurt- ties predisposes drawers to calculate upon @ farther re tara of five-twenties pending the settlement of the much vexed German question. The following statement ind)- cates the course of our leading securities on the London Steck Exchange, together with the price of consols during the last four months, and we append the latest quotations for gold known in Europe on the dates men- tioned, by whieh the extent of the decline in the former can be more readily peroeived :— - “Petroleum and mining etocks were dull, but generally steady. At the first board Electric Oil closed be. higher than at the samo time yesterday; Conolidated Gregory Gold was 260, lower, Liebig be., Quarta Hill Soe. At the escond board Consolidated Grogory Gold closed 2c. lower, selling at $16 60; Quarta Hil! 250., selling at $4 50. Benohoff Run sold at $11, Buchanan Farm i8e., First National 120, Shade River 600, United States $8 75, Downiew!le Gold 30c., Holman Gold 38e. Thore appenred to bo some danger at the time tho tock Exchange removed Into the new building in Brond street that the open board, which had ite inception in tho specutative fever of the war, would bo ## far eclipsed and elbowed out of busitiens as Foon to crase to have an ‘existence, Business was then very dull, and there was ‘an almost goneral complaint among the brokers that they wore not making enough to pay their office expenses. But the removal of the requiar Board from its former pent-up quarters in *Ohange siley, William street, bas proved about equally beneficial to \iwelf and its moro demooratic next door noighbor, and it is noticeable that the jealousy with which the old and the new organi- gations fegarded cach other upon the oorasion of the removal now existe only in 4 very modi. fied degree, The members of both boards are be- ginning to pee that there ts field for all, and that the more there are the merrier the of spectiation semeng themeelves is likely.to be, and It 9 safe to state that however great the outside suppor} to the market may be at apy time, the larger portion of the busi- ness transacted is on account of the brokers themselves, who are the real professional speculators in stocks. 80 much is this the case that many of the younger mem- bers of the board do a purely speculative business, for which their membership, of course, affords them facili- ties im the way of credit, and @ saving of commissions which they would not otherwise enjoy. ‘Activity is she hfe of the Stock Exchange, and much has been done to develop its growth by the policy of the board during the last three years. Before that time it was controlled by very narrow and exclusive views, embodying some of the most cherished traits of old fogyism. It was an association which asserted its im- portance and strove to protect its monopoly by black- balling nearly all! who had the presumption to apply for admission within the sacred portals guarding the cham- ber where eat the elect; and all the graybeards of that august assemblage felt themselves not as other mon, but as high priests of the great temple of Mammon, and frowned upon the outer world accordingly, forgetting their own democratic origin whon they gathered under the friendly shelter of a tree in Wall street, and had no other roof to screen them from sun or rain, Here tho New York Stock Exchange had its birth; and behold, in a few years what a change! It ts a step from the stand of an al fresco dealer to a palatial edifice. Had the policy of the Stock Exchange beon more liberal in the first in- stance, the open board would in all probability never have been established; but it was the only thing that opened the eyes of the Stock Exchange to its own Previous short-sightedness, It led to couceasions and the gradual removal of prejudices against new admis- sions; in short, to the adoption in self-defence of free trade instead of a protective policy. And the result is that the dealings in stocks have iargely increased, and that a far larger number of men have been enlisted in the business of brokers and speculators in consequence, Government securities are gradually becoming a prom- inent feature of the daily transactions at the board as well as on the gtreet, and there fs little doubt that in the course of time they will absorb the larger share of the attention of spoculators, for it will not be many years before the shares of the majority of the railways now actively dealt in will become so scarce in Wall street as to lose their intorest in the eyes of the speculative com- | munity. Mining and land stocks will alzo come more into vogue, and miscellancous securities generally will receive more attention from the Stock Exchange than they do now. Even inthe case of bank and insurance stocks a large speculative business might be done if speculation ran less upon a few stocks like those of the principal railways. From various sources the business of the Stock Exchange will receive new ad- ditions, and as one stock dies out of the market another will take its place, The gold of California and Colorado and the silver of Nevada will unite with the copper of the Lake Superior region to claim the attontion of in- vestors and speculators in the Now York stock market, and there will be work enough for all the boards, regu- lar, public and petroleum, and the old Stock Exchange will find that it has lost nothing by laying aside its old prejudices and extending the hand of good fellowship to new membora, At the aunual eloction of officers of tho open board to-day, in addition to Mr. T. B. Hard as President, Mr. George Henriques was elected First Vice President, H. Marlor Second Vice President, and Wm. M. Parks fyea- surer.
