RR FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Wspwespay, June 1?—6 P. M. ‘The gold market opened in the midat of great ex- coiement this morning, and the earttest sales were at 14144, while loans of coin were made as high ae 5-92 per cent in favor of the lender nnti to-morrow. The ‘bull tide of speculation had reached tts dood, how- ever, and from this pojnt there was a steady de- siioe to:16836, ta rate pall foe the pe-ce- Coley ‘while passing down by regular gradations to two per cent per annum, and Sally transactions were re- corded “fiat,” which means without interest to either buyer or seller. The rates paid for borrowing were, in detail, 6-32, 34, 3-32, 1-16, 5-64, 8-64 and 1-66 per diem, and.2 83 per cent per annum. It is said that the Sub-Treasury redeemed a portion of the principai of the bonds of 1868, which mature op the Ist proximo, early in the day, allowing interest thereon up to date, and that the coin coming from this source soon found ite way tnto the gold room. ‘But however this may be the ain cause of the sudden increase in the floating supply of coin, and the consequent decline in the premium, was the rush to realize on the part of the ball speculators who engineered the rise by frighten- dng the bears into covering their “short” contracts, and aggravating the natural scarcity of gold by with- drawing ail they could temporarily from active use. ‘The efforts of such unscrupulous gamblers exert at apy time but a transient influence upon the commo- dity they favor with their attention, but the real firmness of the market for gold is shown in the fact that it hag retained nearly one-half the improve- ment artificially stimulated since yesterday morn- ing, the closing transactions this afternoon having Deen at 140%. ‘The gross clearings were very large— | namely, $51,538,000, tne gold balances $2,607,128, and the currency balances $3,921,788, The steamer Cuba took out $510,000 In specie. The Sub-Treasury disbursed $18,000 in coin in payment of Interest on the public credit, and the conversions of seven-thirty notes into five-tweuty bonds amounted to $1,525,560. The stock market has shown great firmness all day, and Reading and the Chicago and Northwestern shares experienced a further advance, the former sciling wp to 994g under a very spirited demand from strong parties, and at the close this price was bid. | Rock tstand advanced to 105% at one time in the fore- neon, but there was a pressure to sell at this point, and a decline to 109 was the result. Erie was firm at the current quotations, but efforts have evidentiy been made for some time past to keep this stock frovw rising in sympathy with the general market, and these probably have reference to whatever set- Uement there is pending between the Erie and the Vanderbilt parties, The last of the Western railway economists, including Mr. Henry Keep, have re- turned to town, anda more active speculation in | some of the Western shares is looked for in conse- quence. The transfer books of the Chicago and Northwestern Company closed this afternoon prepa- ratory to the payment. of the ten per cent stock divi- dend on the 29th inst, The directors of the Cleve- jand and Pittsburg Railway Company will meet in 1 this eity on Saturday and declare the first of the two per cent quarterly dividends in cash which they have agrecd to pay in future. Money continues super- abandant, and loans on stock collaterals are made at 3a 4 per cent, with the transactions on government securities at the lower rate exclusively where the principal dealers are the borrowers. First class commercial paper remains scarce, and it passes freely at 5a6 per cent. The Sub-Treasury i# a large holder of national bank notes, and the banks hold considerable drafts against the former, which they can convert into currency at any time; but, owing to the ‘mpossibility of employing all their surplus at the present time, they have no incentive to so doing un- ‘wl the demand for money quickens, Meanwhile ‘they will be forced in all probability either to allow & Jarge portion of their funds to remain Mile or to in- Vest from time to time in the purchase of United States stocks, ‘The market for government securitics has been firm but quiet during the day, although there was @ good Investment demand for the five-twenties of | 35000 1865 and 1867. The tendency of prices is decidedly ‘upward, and they are likely to touch a higher potnt next month than has yet been reached since the first war loan was contracted. The heavy disburse- mente of the Treasury and corporations on and after the Ist proximo will undoubtedly largely stimulate purchases for investment, while the stoppage of the supply of bonds in the face of the enlarged demand will cause a rapid appreciation of their market value, The demand for the first mortgage bonds of the Central Pacific Railway Company at 103 continues as active as before the price was ad- vanced. At the close the market "was firm at the | subjoined quotations:—Registered, 1881, 1124¢ a 11 coupon, 1881, 117% @ 117%; 5-20’, registered, 156: 10944 @ 1095 20’s, coupon, 1862, 113 @ 118%;; do., 1864, 110% a 111; do., 1865, 111 @ 111%; Go., 1865, Jan- wary and July, 118% @ 114; do., 1867, 114 a 11444; do., 1868, 10934 a 109%; 10-40°s, registered, 106% a 106%; 10-40's, coupon, 106% a 1061s; June 7.308, 1097, 110%; July 7.30°s, 106% @ 11034; August com- pounds, 1865, 1184; September do., 118; October do., ik.

The market for domestic dry goods has been char- acterized by the same features that were prominent at the writing of our last weekly report. The depres- ion of the cotton market and the continued retro- cession of the value of that commodity have com- bined to prevent any improvement even in the tone of the market. But with the spring trade virtually turally tend in favor of the purchaser, And the past week has formed no exception to the general rule, many descriptions of cotton goods haying sold in a small way below the nominal current quotations. ‘There has been some disappointment in regard t the amount of business with the West since tle com- | mencement of canal navigation. ‘fhe extraordinary movement of goods from the leading jobbing houses | to the West over the Erie Railroad just prior to | the cominencement of canal navigation induced the | belet that the resumption of navigation via the canals would develop an unusually active movement of goods westward. This hope has been disappointed, as comparatively few goods have been transmitted over the canais up to this time, and there is now no oo a seag of any Movement unt! fall, Some of the leading houses are already actively engaged in Taking preparations to siock up for the fail trace, and the expectation of alarge and prosperous trade is all Dut universal among the principal dealers. ‘There is some apprehension of difficulty in procuring as full ap assortment of goods or as large a stock of certain fabrics as desirable, | owing to the stoppage of some milis and the curtailment of fduricating in others. Neverthe- lesa stocks in jobbers’ hands are steadily augment- ing, and the probability is that the leading houses, at least, will have both a good assortment and a good supply. There is something iets already in tie way of making up assortments, and the leading job- bers are laying in bountifully of all the fabrics that are at present available, and in many cases have goods ed in advance of produc tion, The general tis very dull, but there is active preparation on every hand for “the fall trade, and a large and remunerative business 1s confl- dently auticipated, Prints bave continued to rale duvil and heavy dur- ; ing the week, and, under the continued recession of cotton and printing cloths, the market has ruled very heavy. and several makes have been further re- duced, ‘to-day, however, under the better market } for cottou, superinduced by the advance in Liver- pool, the market for prints was rather more steady aud there was a much better feeling, | BLEACUED MUSLINS have been fairly active, but | have ruled heavy for the most part, though there | have occurred no radical changes, only a little soft- ening of prices in certain instances. To-day, how- ever, the market was a shade better in tone, owing to the same causes which favorably aifected the mar- ket for prints. Prices show but little change. BROWN MUSLINS have been affected in the same Way, to the same extent and by the same causes that have obiained in the market for bleached goods, There has been almost no demand and pricea are nearly nominal, though to-day the market was com- parativeiy steady. BROWN DRiLLINGS have continued to rule dull and there is no improvement to note. The best goods still bring 16c. @ 1ic,, and in some cases 179c.; pul business has been sinall in the extreme. ‘Holders, i however, remain pretty firm aud evince confidence 4 in the future, { GINGHAMS have ruled quiet during the past week, | bui the market remains steady with a firm tone. H TICKINGS remain quiet and We learn of no change | in prices. Cuecks have been sought after to some extent at | previous prices. STRIPES are in fair request and bring full prices.

Another “Legal? Sale at the Exchange Large Sale of Nineteenth Ward (Brooklyn) Lots, Yesterday was a busy day in real estate opera- tions and the firmness of the market was well maintained, Messrs, A. J. Bleecker, Son & Co. sold some improved property at the corner of Church and Reade streets, under the direction of a referee, which brought $41,750, We learn in regard to this sale that in 1837 the present purchaser of this corner sold the lot adjoining, double the size (25x100), for $2,500. Such an instance preciation in thirty years is without outside. of New York city. Messrs. Bleecker likewise disposed of Lema l e jperty, by order of Lewis OC. Popham, executor, situated d'{n the town of Ialip, Suffolk county, L. [., and some land in Wright county lowa. A very im) at sale of Nineteenth ward (Brookiyn) property was held by a new firia yesterday, Messrs. Eckert & Walter. @ sale took place on the grounds of the Satellite Club, corner of Broadway and Rutledge street, Brooklyn, hey which formed part of the property offered, Mike whole ay ral! tel being a portion of the homestead farm "of the late General Jeremiah Johnson, in whose family it has been since the year 1704. [tis desirably located, being just at the division line of the Eastern and Western districts and accessible by railroad from the ferries of each. The neighborhood is generally built up and is one which has developed very much of late, being still in the full tide of progress, The streets are all latd out, sewered, watered and lighted, and the denizens respectable, law abiding citizens, ' ‘The sale was well attended, almost all prea being di- rectly interested and desirous of becoming pur- chasers, Bidding was rather slow, however, bu' spite of the intense heat, the good-natured auc- u ioneer, Anthony Walter, who was formerly Justice of the Peace for this district, labored earnestly and pamentiy; with a success that could not have een exceeded by any of greater experience, with the hammer.
