rr FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. b Sarorpar, June 20—6 P. M. ‘The speculative fecling is increasing rather than diminishing in Wall street, although the dulness of the last few months still lingers, to @ great extent, on the Stock Exchange. The bull element is, how- ever, decidedly in the ascendant, and high as prices ‘are for railway shares they are liable to go consid- erably higher. The most inveterate of the bears are unwilling to sell stocks ‘‘short”’ while money remains as easy a3 it is at present, and everything favors the bulla. To “bear” stocks under such circumstances as to gacrifce a bird in the hand for one in the bush, and to cast bread upon ‘the waters of speculation with only @ remote Prospect of gain in view. Nevertheless, the tide will turn some time before the year expires, and the bears will then have their day, just as the bulls now have theirs. Meanwhile millions will be ‘made and lost, and although history is always re- eating itself in Wall street, and it is full of warn- ings, few of the many professional speculators ap- Pear to profit by the experience of the past. Specu- Jation in that great thoroughfare is indeed a game of blind man’s buff, in which people stumble into ruin and good fortune alternately and often by mere ‘accident, and the longest experience sometimes avails nothing in averting disaster. Just now the extremely high priced stocks, like New York Central, fre neglected, and those comparatively cheap, like Reading, are being bought up. There does not appear to be any clique in the latter stock, although there are, it would seem, large buyers of it, both in the street and out of it, and there is nothing appa- Tent to lead to the belief that the bulls—whoever they are—mean to resort to that unscrupulous, not to say dishonest, trick yciept ‘‘a squeeze,” or to do anything more than buy a property which they think will eventually seil bizher on its merits, pro- vided the geueral market remains steady. With a very few exceptions, however, prices are far above the range of real values, but the two bear little relation to each other where speculative stocks are conserned. At the meeting of the direc- tors ol the Cleveland and Pittsburg Company, held dust evening, the follow! xg resolution was adopted:— Whereas it now appears by the president’s report of the affairs of tnis company that its present net earnings and financiti condition are such that the directors feel justified in stating that a dividend of eight per cent per annum of the earnings of the compnoy can-be paid to the stockholders; therefore Resolved, That a quarterly dividend of two cent, free of government tax, be paid on the 10th day of July next, and that the books of transfer close on ‘the 1st of July and be opened on the 11th of July. The gold market was throughout steady, and the Ductuations were from 1403; to 14034, with the clos- ing transactions at 14014. There was considerable speculative activity among the professional opera- tors, and a good borrowing demand for coin from the “shorts,” Loans were made without interest and at 1-64 @ 1-32 per cent until Monday, and one per cent per annum for borrowing, and also at one per cent per annum for carrying. The gross clearings amounted to $39,251,000, the gold balances to $1,309,659, and the currency balances to $2,239,613. ‘rhe export of specie to-day was smaller than on any previous Saturday for several weeks past, namely, $420,000 by the City of Antwerp, making a total for the week of $1,890,532, instead of $1,850,432, as at first reported by the Custom House. The Sub- ‘Treasury disbursed $30,000 in coin in payment of dnterest on the public debt, while the conversions of seven-thirty notes into five-twenty bonds at the Sub- ‘Treasury amounted to $1,001,400. The daily range of the gold market during the ‘week is thus shown: — 140% 4 ‘The shipments of specie from the port in each of ‘the last thirteen weeks have been as follows, the ag- gregate being $28,108,905:— Amount. Week ending. $28,108,905 ‘ The money market was extremely easy all day at Sa4 percent on mixed collaterals, and first class shouses were offered more funds than they could em- ‘ploy at the lower figure, and in some instances bal- ‘ances were left with the principal dealers in govern- ment securities at two per cent. In the discount line ‘there was no change. The statement of the asso- clated banks of this city for the week ending to-day is.very favorable to prolonged monetary ease. The @egal tender notes show an increase of $3,364,742 and the deposits $815,622, while in the loans there is & decrease of $1,024,416, in the specie of $2,068,801 and in the circulation of $47,726. The totais of the last two statements are as subjoined:— June 13, June 2. $274,117, 608 124,830 A Chicago journal of Thursday thus refers to the Money market in that city:— The condition of the local money market is with- out change. The general report of the banks is that Dusiness is dull and the supply of money still in excess of the demand. The general mercantile trade ofthe city, however, has failen off so that balances to accounts are not at the rate of @ month ago, The market for government securities was steady but dull during the morning, but afterwards a brisk demand eet in for all the issues and prices advanced about a quarter per cent. Subsequently there was a fractional reaction in some instances from the dighest point touched, but the demand continued good upto the close, when the market was strong at the following quotations:—Registered, 1881, 112% a 112%; coupon, 1881, 117% a 11734; 5-20’s, registered, 1962, 1095¢ @ 10934; 5-20’s, coupon, 1862, 113% a 11334; o., 1864, 110% a 111; do., 1865, 1114 @ 11134; do., 1965, January and July, 113% @ 114; do., 1867, 114 a 11434; do., 1868, 100% @ 109%; 10-40’s, registered, 106% a 106%; 10-40’s, coupon, 1063, a 10654; June 7.30’s, 110 @ 110%; July 7.30’, 110 a 110%; August com- pounds, 1865, 118}; September do., 118; October do., 21M. ‘The daily conversions of seven-thirty notes into five-twenties at the Sub-Treasury from the beginning -of the month to the close of business yesterday were gs underatated:— $489,350 June 12. $1,448,300 June 13. 331,750 948,300 June 15 1,969,750 June 16, on) June 17 5, At the commencement of business the stock mar- ket was strong but dul! and at the early session of the open board Reading advanced to 100% and Cleveland and Pittsburg to 90%.

STARTLING AND SUBLIME ELECTRIC SPECTACLE, The Heavens and the Earth Coming Together im Flashes of Lightning aud Bolts of Thun. der. (Midland (Mich.) cone (June 15) Detroit press, On the night of the 14th (Sunday) we witnessed in Midland one of the most extraordinary exhibitions oi ciectrical phenomena perhaps ever beieid in a ci wate and atso high a latitude, About . ite afternoon alow lying, jong, sinuous ‘k clouds seemed to come climbing up against Lhe wind over the valley of the Tittibiwasse from the southeast, meeting a light scirrhous fugi- tive series of clouds from the opposite direction, but apparently fying higher. Au electrical skirmish seemed to commence, an occasional Mash and a clap of thunder, not very loud, would he followed by & slight shower; but the clouds seemed unusually dis- turbed and mixed up. ‘nis sort of thing kept on, varied by an occasional gleam of brilliant sunshine, till about dark. ‘Then a colder blast from the north: east set doors a banging in the houses and seemed to raise the deuce soft. The flashes became fre- queens, the thunder heavy, and the rain would sud- enly fall in torrents and as suddenly cease. About eleven o'clock the ball seemed to open in earnest. The lightuing not only became constant, but four, tive, six and even seven flashes would shoot trom diferent parts of the sky at the same time; round the horizon they chuset or crossed each Other’s paih like dery serpents. rom zenith to na- dir they pourcd like @ falling shower of me.cors, Up again tiley shot like fire bails tossed }) w hilarious multitude on a gala night, till the wac e frmament Was one blaze of eonunuous Livni, dud @ Mush of darkness could be had only about every ten minutes, 80 constant were the emissions of the electric nuid, Having got up out of bed in utter amazement at the glory and Magnilicence of the scene, | tried and read ‘rom my bedroom window at the Cresay House ten lines of the Free Preas, lying on my ai Ing table, without intermission. ‘ihe scene oulside was fright- fully grand, Gne instant, as a flash more than ugn- ally brilliant would start from the eastern sky, the sombre pines to tue west would shine like frosted atlver against the darkened heavens behind them, ‘The next instaut a ash from the west would reveal the same pines asa giant group of deepest, inklest hue against a sky of molten, gleaming gold. Build- ings at a distance would start into sudden light, till you could perceive their smailest features as li view- ed by @ telescope in the daytime; then as suddenly tone down into a lower shade, being un- shone by another fash beyond them. iL this time the sky, imto its inmost recesses which you could see, was one seething mass of dense cloud surging hither and thither, but aeerenay, pestis no steady course or moving in any lateral direction. We seemed to be about the centre of the movement. As some of the higher lightuings flashed along the zeusth, I could count five or six strata of clouds be- urayed by their illuminated edges beneath it. The whole firmament was one blazing flery mass, and forcibly reminded the beholder of the sublime des- cription of the Evangelist of the period “‘when the heavens shall pass away like a@ scroll, and the ele- ments melt with fervent heat.” I speak it reveren- tially, and with awe, when I say that it only wanted the appearance of the announcing Archangel to com- plete tn its fullest sublimity St. John’s description of the end of all earthly things. The peals of thunder, rst frightful, became 80 incessant that there could only be heard @ continuous roar, which the ear becoming accustomed to soon noted not, like that of Niagara, but indnitely louder. It seemed as if the deepest eae a ae had been opens and in- terested as I was at the magnificent phenomenon, a solemnity of feeling of the power of the Almighty in- voluntarily crept over me, its singular no harm was done to the denizens of earth hereabouts. I watched at least eleven bails of fire dart to earth within a mile radius, and an angie of leas than one hundred and sixty degrees from where I sat. The only casualty, and that not fatal, ig the most singular I ever heard of or witnessed the effects, Towards the east end of Midland, about a chain and a half from the banks of the Tittibiwassee, James Spence and his wife and child slept in an eight by ten room in a cottage, and a younger brother Cpr the next bedroom, still less in size. One of the simrpest of the flashes struck a tail pine (left for ornament) close to the corner of his bed- room, and dtscending it leaped about twenty feet from the graind through the gable of the house, Through the yedroom ceiling tt passed, leaving a hole like a. musket bail. Thence tt-struck the upper corner of the mirror hanging against the wall, and running duwn its back again pierced the glass with a three-eighth inch hole, and, slightly shivering the frame, made for the bed. It took hold of Mr. Spencer at the wrist, and winding upwards around his arm, darted acrosshis body, leaving a burned mark on his skin anda mark on his woollen shirt on Its passage aud jeaving him insensibie.

CHARLES D. TULLER, THE ALLEGED Bonp Ros- BER.—The Legislature released this young man from State Prison by a unanimous vote of both brauches, Mr. Tulier for his release solely on the ground that he is ignocent of the $20,000 bond robbery with which he charged, and the commit- tee recommended his rélease, believing that the pro- babilities of his innocence are much greater than those of his guilt. The resolution of release passed the Senate and House yasterday morning; it was en- grossed, aigned by the clerks, approved by the Gov- ernor, taken to Wethersfield at three o'clock and be- fore sunset Mr. Tuller was receiving the congratula- tions of his family in his own home at Hartford.
