2 oO FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THURSDAY, May 14—6 P. M. ‘The gold market has been quiet but streng to-day, and-ite extreme range was from 139% to 140%, with the, closing transactions at 130%. There was moderately active borrowing demand for coin, and Joana were made at 4 5 per cent for carrying. The gross clearings amounted to $25,632,000, the gold balances to $950,802 and the currency balances to $1,359,265, The steamer New York for Bremen took out $287,200 in specie, and the Morro Castle for Havana $135,130, making the export thus far in the week more than $1,400,000, The Rising Star, from Aspinwall, Brought $1,170,221 in treasure and thegovernment sold ‘about $300,000 in coin. The disbursements in pay- ment of the May interest on the public debt and the custome receipts have been nearly equal in amount during the last few days. The payments yesterday aggregated $464,000 and on Tuesday $406,000. The customs receipts in this city forthe ten months ending on April 30 last were,according to the official returns, $92,780,372, against $102, 820,358 for the corresponding period in the previous year, and $11,647,128 for that % 1666-6. For the six months ending with December, 1867, the receipts were $54,781,301. In January they were a little more than seven millions; 1m February, nine millions and a half; in March, eleven millions, and in Apri ten millions. The disposition of most of the g0ld speculators during the forenoon was to discount the removal of the President, but afterwards specu- Iation in this direction languished, and opinions ‘were very much divided as to the probable result of ‘the great State trial. ‘The money market continues to gradually grow easier, and loans are now made freely at six per eent, seven being an entirely exceptional rate. The Danke are still in receipt of currency from the coun- ‘wy, and the demand for loans end discounts is not seficient to absorb the supply of bankable funds. Fhe Treasury purchased about $650,000 of seven- ‘thirty notes during the day, and to-morrow the May eompound interest notes mature to the amount of ‘about twenty-four millions, The Assistant Treasurer ‘will pay the principal and Interest of such of these as are held by the banks in three per cent certificates, ‘ and they will be the gainers thereby in point of re- ) Serve to the extent of the accrued interest. {_ ‘The stock market has been variable. During the ferenoon it was very firm and prices improved, Eric _ Welling at 703 a 1034, but afterwards there were free ;Wellers at the advance and the tendency was down- ‘Ward until late in the afternoon, when it became ‘@teady. There was some pressure to sell Fort Wayne Wy investment holders, but the clique bid the ‘ries up about one per cent for speculative ‘effect in the face of it, Stockholders are beginning to understand that a stock upon which ten per cent @ividends are paid ont of the proceeds of sales of new stock is little better than 9 fraud upon the public, emda that such a policy, if persevered in, will ultt- mately leave the stock hopeless of any dividends. ate in the day it was rumored that the Pennsylva- mia Central Company had bonght the Pittaburg, @otumbus and Cincinnati road, extending from Pitts- burg to Columbus, and from Columbus over the Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Rallway to Chicago, thus making @ short, direct route from New York end Philadelphia, via Pittsburg, to Chicago. ‘There was a large business transacted in govern. ment securities during the early part of the day, and prices advanced % a i per cent, but subsequently the market became dull, although it remained Steady. Ite undertone ts very firm, and it only awaits the settlement of the tmpeachment question in order ‘to experience material improvement. The Assistant Treasurer continnes to purchase seven-thirty notes toa much larger amount than he sells gold, and in ‘this way the currency balanoe in the Sub-Treasury is being gradually reduced, while the supply of loana- ‘ble funds in Wall street is correspondingly increased. The tendency towards lower rates for money is an ‘portant element in estimating the course of United States stocks, and already balances are left with the Yeading dealers in some instances at five per cent. 4% the close the market was firm at the following qmotations:—Registered, 1881, 11334 a 118%; coupon, ‘1881, 118% @ 114; 5-20's, registered, 1862, 106% @ 10634; 6-20's, coupon, 1862, 108% @ 109%; do., 1864, 107 a 207%} do., 1865, 10754 & 107%; do., 1865, January and Tuly, 10036 @ 109%; do., 1867, 100% a 100%; 10-40’s, Tegistered, 103%; @ 103%; 1040's, coupon, 103% a 20836; June 1.30's, 107% 107%; July 7.30', 107% a 2075; May compounds, 1864, 119%; August do., 348; September do., 1173; October do., 117. At the commencement of business the stock mar- ‘Ket was dull but firm, and at the early session of the ‘open board prices were about the same as at the Gloso last evening. Mr. J. T. Winchester was elected @ member of this board yesterday. At the first regu- Jar board, however, although the volume of business ‘Was light, quotations improved slightly and the Speculative feeling was somewhat stronger than wsual of late. The party manipulating Fort Wayne bid i up in order to check the sales by outside in- ‘vestors, but this device 1s toe transparent to inspire Confidence among stockholders who have regard to ‘the real value of the stook only. New York Central @loved % higher than at the same time yesterday, Brie %, Michigan Southern 144, Northwestern pre- ‘ferred %, Fort Wayne %, Ohio and Mississippi %, Pacific Mail % and Quicksilver 4, while Northwest- qn was ¥ lower, Government securities were strong st an advance of aneighth per cent. At the ‘epen board at one o'clock prices were without mate- vial change and there was a moderate degree of @ctivity tm the dealings, although the market was ‘without any special feature. At the second regular board an unsettled feeling prevailed and prices were generally lower, especially for the express stocks. New York Central closed % lower than at the first yegular board, Erie %, Ohio and Mississippi 3; and Pacific Mall %, while Michigan Southern was ‘ higher, Northwestern % and Fort Wayne X. Gov- ernment sécurities continued sirong but dull, @nd in some instances prices were a fraction Righer. At the open board at half-past three the express stocks experienced a further decline of % 1% per cent, while railway shares were also slightly lower, Erle selling at 60% and New New York Central at 128%. A further fractional de- cline took place after the call, and during the re- mainder of the afternoon the market remained dull. At the close at @ quarter to six o'clock the following Quotations were current:—Pactfic Mall, 914 @ 01%; Ohio wnd Missixsippi, 205; a 20%; Western Union Tel- Cgraph, 88 4 3614; New York Central, 128% @ 128%; Brie, 0; Reading, 90: a 0014; Michigan Southern, 85% @ 85%); Cleveland and Pittsburg, $4 a 84!,; Rock Island, 04% & 947%; Northwestern, 67% a 67K; North- ‘Western preferred, 77}; 77%; Fort Wayne, 106K @ on. The foreign exchange market was quiet and ratee had ® downward tendency, prime bankers’ sterling ataixty days being offere! at 110%. There is little probability, however, of any permanent dectine be Jow the specie shipping poimt in the present state of our foreign trade. The Custom House returns at ‘this port show that the exports, exclusive of specie, for the ten months ending on April 30 last were vammed at only 147,915,861 in currency (against $191,985,540 im 1866), while the im- ports for the same perio’ were valued Mt $201,090,008 in specie, freight and duty unpaid, For the four months ending Apr® 30 the imports ere $86,018,726 and the exports only $56,772,576, Xclusive of specie, against $67,289,975 in the corre- ponding period in 1867 and $84,268,620 in 1866, Uf ‘the entre imports and exporte of the lest ten months it is computed that nearly three-fourtite were carried 4n foreign vessels, a fact 60 sigeificantof the decline ©! onr abipping interest that it should met pass un- heeded by Congress. At the close bankers’ bills on Pngiand at sixty days were quoted at 110 @ 110%;; at NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1868—TRIPLE SHEET. ‘The importations fonthe months ending April 30 in this and the two previous years were as su! joined:— 1860, 2000 gute aa Six months. ....$142, 143, 210,158 $116, January. sags Seioago "Sarat wyAlsont March. : 940 21,512,074 26,012,094 April.

Improvements tending to this end have been commenced, and with the ap- proval of thé stockholders will be carried forward with all reasonable despatch. Ten new cars have been ordered, 2,600 tons of Bessemer steel rail have been purchased, and the most improved method of heating and ventilating the cars is being carried ou! and many of the passenger depots will be and improved or rebuilt.
