FINANCIAL “AND COMMERC. AL. RIDAY, May 86 P. M. ‘The gold market has been étrong aud modéeratély active to-day, and the fluctuations were from 1591; to 139%, with the closing transactions prior to the ad- Jourpment of the board at 1397, following which sales were made at 139%, The supply of coin was in excess of the borrowing demand, and loans were made at 6a T percent for carrying. The gross clear- ings amounted to $2,44¢,400, the gold balances to $14,387,994 and the currency balances to $2,002,844. American silver is quoted at 6a 7 per cent below gold and Mexican dollars at 1034; a 103% in gold. The Sub-Treasury disbersed about $400,000 in payment of the May interest on the public debt and sold more than & Quarter of a million, Although the Treasury held on the Ist inst, according to its last monthly statement, $100,909.653 In coin, only $37,551,758 was ‘the property of the government, the remainder being represented by certificates of deposit in the hands of the people. Frost this must now be deducted about $17,000,000 for the May interest, so that the amount actually owned by the government on that date butslightly exceeded sixty millions. Speculation in the gold room at present is mainly in favor of a higher premtum. the general impression being that if the President is acq titted there will be nothing in the event which will necessarily depress the market, while, ff he shoald be convicted, as many suppose, the act would be construed as revolutionary, and the price of gold would be in the ascendant. It is easy, however, to form an exaggerated idea of the effect of the President's re- moval, and {it is more than probable that ifspecutation ran the premium up in consequence of such @ termination of the greatest State trial of modern times that the advance would not be sus- tained. But apart trom political causes the state of the national finances and the condition ofcommer- ctal affairs are favorable to a firm market for gold. the probabilities are tiat the removal of the Presi- dent wouid strengthen its upward tendency and that his acquittal would slightly weaken it, but in neither case will there be anything to justify an important change in the price of this commodity. That the prevailing temper of the public with regard to it is “bullish” is shown, among other signs, by the fact that not much more than half the May interest payable in this city has teen drawn yet. Coupon holders who are mdisposed to sell their gold leave it uncollected, because If they drew it they would find it entirely unproductive in their hands, unless they wished to convert it into currency, in which case they would have to pay from five to seven per cent for having it carried, ‘The money market was very easy all day at six per cent to borrowers on first class collaterals, and the transactions at seven, even on miscellaneous stocks, were entirely exceptional. The drain of currency is 8 rapidly increasing the loanable resources of the banks that it is more than likely the rate on govern- ment securi‘ies will soon be five per cent. The wants of the mercantile community continue light and the ‘Danks discount freely for their customers at the legal rate, while on the street the best grade of com- ™ercial paper passes at 7 & 7 per cent. The payment of the $23,927,000 of compound interest notes maturing on the 15th in- stant will temporarily contribute to the ease of the market, as the Binks holding them will receive the principal as well as the interest of their notes in three per cent certificates, which are counted as legal tenders, Virtually, of cuurse, whatever amount of the notes is redeemed in currency will involve con- Pagpon to that extent, but as nearly twenty-two fmitions $f the three per cents remain unissued it 18 probable that the Treasury will pay off as many of the May notes with these as possi-, bie. .The monetary ease is favorable to. the butts on the Stock Exchange, but speculation is nev- ertheless tame, and the market is held in ssomewhat feverish state of suspense by the impeachment trial, ‘upon the result of wiich opinions are about equally dwided. Opinions, too, are conflicting as to what the effect of the acquittal or the removal of the President would be upon railway shares; bot the probability is that whatever the decision of “the High Court” miay b6 stocks will not be materially affected there- by. A general sense of relief will, however, be experienced both in and out of Wall street, and activity will be likely to succeed the semi-stagnation which has bee. latterly experienced. To-day the market has moved trregularly, the Western shares being fir, while Erie was manipulated about one per cent downward, for the purpose apparentiy of working in “shorts.” New York. Central alvanced to 129% under a report that the company had decided to declare two per cont quarterly dividends, which afterwards proved to be unfounded, and a relapse of one per cent en- aued, ‘The bulls outaumber the bears largely, but both sides express confidence tn their respective views of the markct, and both move with more than usual caution pen ling the close of the trial at Wash- ‘ington. Government securities were steady and in good in- ‘vestment and speculative inquiry, the growing ease in money having some mfluence in stimulating the upward tendency of the market. Prices advanced avelghthupon the latest quotations of yesterday, and the five-twenties of 1867 were in brisk demand tn exchange for seven-thirties, which were held at 1073. The sma.l denominations of the bonds of 1862 ‘and 1885 are being bonght instead of letters of credit vy parties going to Europe, and the advance in them is maintained, ‘Tue udvance in gold and the steadi- ness of the London market for bonds strengthened thegold bearing stocks and especially those for which there isa foreign demand. In the sixes of 1881 there were no important transactions, The pur- chases on domestic ucconat are mainly of the five- twenties of 1867, which carry accrued Interest since the 1st of Jannary, The indications continue to be favorable to cousidcrably higher prices for all descriptions of United States stocks. At the close the market was strong at the subjoined quotations;—Rogisiered, 1881, 11514 a 11334; coupon, 1881, 11314 @ 11554; 5-20's, registered, 1862, 106 a 106%; 5-20's, coupon, 1852, 108% & 108%; do., 1864, 106% a 107; do., 1865, 107's a 10744; do., 1865, January and July, 1004 #10914; do., 1367, 1094¢ @ 10945; 10-40's; registered, 103 a 10314: 10-40's, coupon, 103'¢ a 1034; June 7.50's, 10724 a 10714; July 7.90's, 1073¢ a 107 44; May componnds, 1864, 119%; August do., 118; Sep- tember do., T1744; October do,, 117, At the commencemeat of business the stock mar- ket was firm, and at the early seasion of the open board Erie sold at 6974 and) New York Central at 129, At the first regular board the speculative feeling gained strength and prices improved, especially for New York @entral.

Wilmerding, Hoguet & Co., Nos. 112 and 1 4 Duane street, at special sale, of a lai Brock of shawis (by order of Messrs, Benkard & Hutton) of most elegant patterns and costly manufacture. The four story edifice in Duane street occupied by the firm was yesterday afternoon transformed into a sort of bee hive, with bees of trade on every floor, from the second, which was the scene of a ‘cale of ladies’ furnishing goods, as collars, musiins, undersleeves and the like, to the topmost loft, where occurred the great shawl sale of the season. The third floor was also busy with an extensive offer of tailors’ materials, cloths and cassimeres.

(From the Evening ‘Telegram of yesterday.) OsTON. May 8, (868, ‘The terrors of the scaffold, as roan ally Wustra ed in New Hampshire on Wednesday, seem to have failed in checking the murderous propensities of men in that section of the country. A erfme more atroci- ous, More Villainous in conception, and more horrt- bie tn exeoution than the one for which Mills was hung, was committed last night in Hampton Falls, the motive of the murderer being, a3 usual, a desire to accumu’ate sudden wealth, The victims were Thomas Rrown and wife, who were slauchtored in colt blood while sleeping side by side in bed. The weapon used was & sharp and heavy axe. ‘Fhe bodies of both were horribly mutilated when found. and appearances indica’ed that the first blow inflicted upon each was sufficient to produce instant death. Afier commit- ting the crime the murderer ransacked thie honse and sneceede't in getting about $400 and several articles oeseweley) after which he left the premises and the wn, When the crime was discovered early this morn- ing search was made for a hired man of Mr, trown's, named John D, Ross, when it,was ascertained that he had not been seen since thé evening previous. Of course suspicion was at once directed toward him, ani the citizens promptly organts force and commenced to scour the country. quirtes tf was learned that he had taken himseif in the direction of the Massachusetts line, probaby with the intention of reaching Boston in season to embark by one of the evening trains to New Yor! Acting on this iniormation or supposition the oMicers followed the shortest route to the means of reaching New York, and when within about tive miles of ‘Newburyport overtook the murderer tradg- sath 4 fhe ot I th 99th wt, na 105 ft w of Md ay, Box10V.11 (revere Been ato Imo ft wr of Bt nv, TostOOll (roverce’s male #25 Hidth xi, ns, WO fee of 4th av, 15x 500 ‘Tifith st, WW tteol 4b xl or) Az: th wt, n #, 140 ft w of Ath ay, 251 00 136th a: Toth At 6) 4.3 fhe OF BU Tilet at, n 4, Sab it w of 5th av, fons t99. 1. st) 1 8, 388 ft @ of 6iht av, 16.819, Lid wt, #8 170 Cb w of bth wy, KIB Lexin:ton av, w 8, 19.9 tw of 40th ‘Ay D, 8, S11 0 of Sth st, 23xe0, Ist av ani bid at, #e corner, ‘Bs.x106. 2d ay and Sid at, 8 e cormer, 49.9x100. aa ar, wa, e03 Ro of a4 BUTS.

The officers first bound him hand and foot and then proceeded to search him. In his inside coat pocket was found the stolen money, the game as it was Inst seen in Mr. Brown's possession, and also the jewelry and every other artic’e which was missed from the house. tis demeanor when the plunder was found on him was such as to give positive assurance of his guilt, if there was, indeed, any doubt before, although he re- fused to make ‘a confession. He was taken to Newburyport, and from thence to Portsmouth and Hampton Falls, where he will probably have a pre- liminary examination to-morrow. The announce- ment by telegraph that the murderer had been ar- rested drew together large crowds in all the towns through which he was to pass, and at Portsmouth there was a strong feeling in favor of lynching, but astrong force of police had the etfect of forcing the mash fo to a poneane. any further demonstration than The v victims of this terrible tragedy were highly respectal le and among tho first citizens of the town. Mr. Brown was quite wealthy, and the mur- derer probably counted ona larger haul than $400, Ross had been in his employ several months and hia relations with Mr. Brown and family were of the most friendly nature, and it is therefore certain that his only object in taking their lives was to get pos- session of their wealth. He is a middle aged man, possessed of a fair education, but not overstocked with natural abilities. MURDER OF AN EXPRESS MESSENGER, Particalars of the Bold and Mysterious Affair. The following are the particulars of the recent » murder of George F. Carpenter, lately messenger of the Merchants’ Union Express, at Davenport, lowa, ao far as they have transpired:— The murder first became known at panes seven o'clock Friday morning, when Andrew Mars! le nicht watchman in the employ of the Tlinois Central Bailwey formes: ny, while marin his last rounds in the vioinity of elevator B, located just northeast of the Ce gepee ~ on the ES, MSS, pra ‘po the gorpee oi Murdered man in an, uy position doorway of the elevator. At rat glance touching the body and discov- face and clothing he realized There was a ly wound in the right tem i, evidently laatchen yy & ball from asmall bore reve re AP ii © ground and pon, the steps leadi rway were large pools of coagula- ore which had trickled aown er the wound, barn in its courge the of the victim. Marshall at once reported to the police tthe Cen- tral station, and Sergeant Macauley, accom msg by ‘other oMcers, proceeded to the scene of tl gedy. The remains were at once removed to the armory, where they were laid out, in one of the cor- ridors. ea the person of the deceased were found ra which identified the body as that of George arpenter, formerly local agent of the Merchants’ Union Express Company at Davenport, Iowa, In which oltyt he resided ¢ with his wife. Inthe pockets of the clothing were found # number of small arti- cies, consisting of a knife, pencil case and ivory toothpick, and two letters, one an Introductory note from Mr. 8. Stevenson to Mr, A. M. Bennett, and the other @ communication of @ like character from th ragga man to Mr. French; st the Briggs House, There were also found on the person of the deceased Masonic emblems of the Blue lodge, in the shape of sleeve buttons and emblems of the thirty-second degree of Masonry. ‘The detective police have a dificult task to accom. plish in solving the mystery attending this atrocious murder, and only hocotatens pero efforta will bring about the apprehension and just ogee of the murderers, But one clue—and a trifiing and probably wholly unserviccable one ie the pre- sent time—gives the police an apt y of Deni ning their work. That clue is the strong suspicion of guilt resting Ros the strange and Leta vag sen 4 character with whom Murphy and Carpenter d on Wednesday evening. By this time he, if con- cerned in the crime, has made his escape, and if so there exists but little hope of his arrest. The de- ceused was about thirty-one years of a and leaves only @ wife to mourn his untimely end. He was the son of @ well known physician tn ermont, to whom, as algo to the widow of the dead man, the sad news has been telegraphed. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.
