8 ———- FINANCIAL. AND COMMERCIAL. v Faray, Oct. @—6 P. M. ‘The cold market has been steady to-day, sithough {Me operations for a fail were large. The fluctuations “were from 138% to 19934, with the closing transa0- tons prior to the adjournment of the board at three o'clock at 189, following which the latest quotation ‘on the street was 139 a 19944, There was an active orrowing demand for coin, and loaus were made at %, 6-32, 2-16, 9-64, 7-64, 3-52, 1-64 and 1-32 per cent per diem in favor of the lender, a8 well as “flat,” ‘and in a few instances after the clearings were made ‘at 54.6 per cent per aunum for carrying, The gross clearings amounted to $126,834,000, the gold bal- fences to $3,059,084 and the currency balances to $4,071,953, these amounts belng about donble the ‘usual average. The Sub-Treasury disbursed $6,593 { coin during the day in payment of interest on the publicdevt, The advance in the rates of exchanze on Europe was without effect upon the course of the Premium, which is kept down parily by Treasury sales and the persistent efforts of the bears, who are at present arguing that if the Pennsylvania elections on Tuesday next result in favor of the republicans this will be a source of further depression in the gold market; but appearances seem to indicate that this event has been already discounted, the extent of the “short” interest, both mercantile and speculative, being enormous, while the firmness of the foreign exchange market favors @ sympathetic movement im gold, The price varied at intervals as followa:— ++ 198% 11:30 A. M., 18926 @ mm . 198% 6:30 P, M., 130 a 13036 Money continues in good supply to first class stock Douses at six per cent, although some of the banks ‘and trust companies ask seven for smali and mode- rate amounts on mixed collaterals. Towards the lose an improved demand for loans was reported in some quarters, but there are ao signs as yet of any impending change in the condition of monetary adairs at this centre, either from natural or artificial eanses. There is no considerable movement of cur- reucy westward, but a Chicago journal of Wednes- @ay says that a more active demand for money is feit in that city from all departments of trade. This s doubtless in part owing to applications for dis- eounts having been deferred until after quarter day. The amount of currency there 1s reported to be fully equal to the demand for the movement of grain, however; and although small remittances are being made to the country some of the country banks are sending or- Gers to their Chicago correspondents to have funds remitted to New York for their account. The gen- eral trade of the country continues moderately ac- tive at fairly remunerative prices; but it is without speculative features except among the grain ope- ators, and purchases are for the most part confined to supplying immediate wants. The dry goods Buction sales in this city to-cay were not very largely attended, but the bidding waa more spirited ‘than usual for a week past and prices ruled steady. Lots were seldom passed and equally seldom dupli- cated. On the Stock Exchange speculation was rather tame during the day, and Paelfic Mall, after selling at 128, declined to 125, recovering to 127% late in the afternoon, however, It is reported that the Pacific Mail Company will advertise its advanced scale of fates of fare and freight to-morrow. New York Central remains steady, notwithstanding the com- Pany’s contest with the Pennsylvania Central for the traffic to competing points in the West, and Erie is equally 80, although it has reduced its rates on shrough Western freight to @ very low polnt in order to compete with the New York CeutraL The esidiue of the five millions of stock of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company is oifered for sate by Messrs. Hienry Clews & Co., and itis annggnced that the company’s lines will be completed to Chicago early next week. ‘These already connect with all the Eastern States and will shortly be in communica- sion with all the commercial centres of the country. The proceeds of the stock are to be expended upon the further extension of the lines and additional ‘wires to meet the demands of business. The public wishes success to this and kindred new companies tn telegraphic § enterprise ~whose wires are rapidly forming @ network East, West, North and South. With the spread of facilities for telegraphic communication telegraphic business will increase, and as it docs so the charges for transacting it will @ecrease, and so the public convenience and pocket will be equally served, while the profits of telegraph companies will swell with the growth of their bust- Deas, a little profit on much belug more gatisfactory for all parties than much on little, The market for government securities hes been Gull all day, but it was steady during the forenoon end firm afterwards at an advance of % a %{ per cent in some instances, The new five-twenties of 1865 were reported to be in demand for shipment; but the home investment demand 1s mainly for the bonds 01 1867. There is no pressure to sell either from speculative or outside sources; but a dis- position is shown by dealers to restrict operations pending the Pennsylvania election, upon the reault of which the immediate future of the market will be to kome extent dependent, should it be in favor of the republic , 23 ls generally expected. United States stocks will doubtless receive an upward im- petus therefrom. At the close at five o'clock the gnotations were as subjoined:—United States 6's, Paciilc Railroad, 99 a 100; do. do., 1881, registered, 2124 a 113; do. do., conpon, 113. 114; do., 5-20'a, Fogistered, 105 a 105%; do. do., coupon, 1862, 112% a 212%; do. do. do., 1864, 1105 & 110%; do, do. do,, 1865, 11034 2 110%; do. do. do., 1865, new, 108% o 20855; do. do. do., 1867, 1085 a 108%; do.

A Quiet Day at the Exchange—New Build- ing»—Tenement Housce—Proespects of Another Exodus in May. ‘The attendance yesterday at the Exchange was not large, the sales being few. Messrs. A. J. Bleecker, Son & Co., the only auctioneers who occupied their stand at noon, presented two pieces of city property, one a tenement house in Second avenue and the other a Trinity church leasehold, ground rent $600. Both brought fair pricea, such being the inevitable consequence when any portion of New York island 1g brought under the hammer. Friday has never been much of a market day in real estate, and the occurrence of sales on that day now is only another indication of the growing importance of this interest, We give particulars of these sales below, Appended will be found secifications of proposed new buildings submitted to the bureau of Inspec- tion and Survey since our last report of October 6. An examination of these will show what little provi- sion is being made on the island for the increasing wants of a growing population—a fact which, while accounting for the present activity in suburban real estate, points with unerring force to its still greater appreciation, Some few tenement houses in embryo Will be found among the list, all of them seemiagly containing those objectionable features which reader them alike ill adapted for human hab:tations as ill suited to the largest class of metropolitan workers. To amanof any a of refinement in taste and feeling there is something repugnant in the idea of living In @ crowded barrack of- a bullding, with neighbors so near as to be under the same roof und use the same passageways, con- cerning whom he has no choice, and with whom he 18 obliged to live in a certain community that prevents that exclusiveness ant privacy he de- sires for his family, while to those whom a certain ingrain indifference to such considerations ma: make this manner of living quite as agrecaple to his taste as any other these houses are ill snited on purely sanitary Sone, Tho diagrams submitted with each specuication apparentiy show the bed- rooms, where two familles are to be accomodated en a foor, to be all dark, except for such Mght as they may obtain from Cig inmng rooms, ‘he tm- portance of the stagle matter of Tank, irrespective of alr, to the proper health of the body, 18 but ill appre- ciated by the mass of men, but it cannot be overesti- mated. In the Scriptural account of the creation it takes the first place, @ read:—‘And the earth was without form and void, and darkness wag upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the deep, and the epi of God moved upon the face of the waters; and God said let there be light, and there was light.’? Following this we bave in regular suc- cession the preparation of the carth to be the habi- tation of man, the gaihering together of the waters, the fruition of the land, the bringing forth of moving creatures, and lastly, man’s creation. For men to piney spend a third part of ‘heir Lives tn places into which a ray of sunlight cannot penetrate, except in a sickly gleam, is to oppose the natural laws of their being ond cannot but result to their hysical Lnjury, e ventilation of such rooms is also necessarily imperfect—a most injurious condl- tion, especially when it 1s considered that they are occupied at a time when the greatest supply of air is needed, at night, when the impurities taken Into the body dw the day are being evaporated, or during lods of sickness, when pure aur is ver; life itself, ‘The vital statistics of the Hoard of Health furnish but too conclusive testimony of the harvest which death reaps in these evainge, Another exceedingly interesting fact presenied in these gpeciflcations ig the plan of a fire escane in- cluded In that of coe addition to the House of the Good Shepherd, consists of an iron stair- case enclosed with brick Wallis agonal Ha the to} Noor to the basement. As shown on the diagram tt al separated from it by a party wall, ac- cessible from ach door, ‘and offers in ease, of frea sure means of escape. Allthe new tenement houses, it will be perceived, have much better provision for escape in case of fire than existed in former build- ings of that description, viz., access to tho roof by bulkhead and stairway, and such fire escape as is by law required; but it may questioned Wheiher ti would be suicient in all contingencies; the fire escapes that are now being attached to old buildings looking to an inexpert observer as positively more dangerous to use than would be the passage through almost 4 volume of flame. An fron stairway built in a bric’ tower 'e from the muin building, with tron doors co! eanneae, with each floor, capable of being opened from either side, would seem to be a ae rors oe a taanseacs ‘oth In the absence, then, of any increased accommoda- tion for living in the city we may look for another exodus of our By yore next grr’ To this, how- ever, we can find no objection, we will need all of the land on the island for the wants of our future commercial development.
