—_— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. | Toxspay, Jan. 12—6 P. M. * ‘There was unusual dulness throughout the mar- (Kets of Wall siree, to-day, This imactivity was all ‘the more unexpected as the favorable bank state- 5 t was likely to tempt operators to try their luck. money market opened steady at 7 per cent cur- yency; but asthe day wore on the demand for funds , and a8 borrowers were more numerous lenders there was something like an appear- of stringency tn the market, and @ few of the F class were compelled to pay gold interest, especially if the collaterals they presented ‘were inferior or mixed. The great mass Money was im requisition from stock ‘Mouses, ahowing that their customers were dis- to. carry rather than sell in the present situa- f of affairs, Probability was also given to the re- {port that artificial means were made use of to render stringent from the fact that a wholesale i**bear” attack was made upon governments at the and afternoon boards; but the funds so with- wn must have been locked up in private safes. banks, this time, are guiltless of any complicity ith the Shylocks, their daily account at the House showing @ disposition to rather than to contraction. The to the movement are not of ex- mary strength, so that their attempt to dis- the market would be powerless were the street Mable to be affected by the report of the least inmoney, While money is in abundance ‘the market is.so lately convalescent from the strin- of the last quarter day that it is peculiarly ve to these alarms. More money again is to the South, the advance in the price requir- pew margins to carry the crop on hand the Southern markets. Another cause of Present activity is to be found in the wearcity of fractional currency and small motes. The lack of these im ‘general circula- creates an impression that money 1s scarce. In 6 afternoon borrowers had provided themselves 50 fully, however, that lenders were in the ma- jority just before the close of bank hours, at which }eime money was freely offering at seven per cent, ‘currency, with exceptional transactions at six per cont after three o’clock. The relaxation at this hour (was duly reflected in the stock market, which was Satrondest just at the close of the day’s business. » Gold was dull between the figures 1354 and 12544. range of price was as follows:— 135% 1P. $ + 18635 " The gross clearings were $46,793,000, the gold balances’ $2,106,030 and the currency balances }2,934,060. , The carrying rate ranged from seven to per cent and to 1-32. The Hamburg steamer out $43,000 in specie. The ballot of the mem- of the Gold Exchange was in favor of a con- Adnaance of the practice of powers of attorney. ” ‘The market for government bonds opened steady, fout under tho pressure of speculative short sales, mpanied by the greater activity of money, rices had declined an average of about *¢ at the swo o’clock board. The relaxation in money after o'clock produced a reaction, and the market five o’clock recovered strength with the following ions:—United States sixes, 1881, registered, 10% @ 111; do., coupon, 112 a 112%; do., five- registered, 103 a 108%; do., coupon, 1862, 112% @ 1123¢; do., do., 1864, 108)4 @ 109; do., do., 865, 10934 2 10933, do., do., new, 1855, 108%¢,a 10834; .

Business at the ‘boards was quite small and hardly sufficed to make “ep lists of quotations. Opening prices were steady @t the decline of the previous day.

Awnkening Activity—Large Sales to be Held— An Tnstance of AppreciationSales Yester- day. ‘The movements in the real estate market so far, both in the public auction mart and at private gale, have been fairly indicative of the continued appre- ciation of real property and of increased interest and Speculative activity tn that directiéu. The sale which we published in Sunday’s HERALD of two blocks, between the Boulevard and Tenta avenue, and Sixty-third and Sixty-fifth streets, for $100,000 cash, negotiated through the latter channel, is of itself evidence of these facts, present and prospec- tive, sufMictent to satisfy the most skeptical, be- ing both the result and creation of such a condition, while there are not wanting other exam- ples, equally strong in their logical deductions, of the correctness of these assertions. In the sales at auction we have plain facts in the Lae Riramanccy e bidding and the prices obtained, re cheater of ee 2 for instance, among offerings yesterday o: A. J, Bleecker, Son & Co., were five lots on the north side of Fifty seventh street, commencing at the cor- ner of First avenue, each 20x50. It will be readily seen that the plot comprising these five lots on Fifty- seventh street, as otherwise divided, consists of two avenue lots, each 26xi00. Last fall these were queen for $9,000, Yesterday the plot sold for 200, As yet there have been no large public sales of any considerable number of iots, but numerous offerings of this character, in this city, Brooklyn, Westchester county and New Jersey, are spoken oi in reai estate circles, while three are already an- nounced to be held. The first to invite public at- tention is a sale to be held on the 19th inst., by A. J. Bleecker, Son & Co., of ninety-eignt lots situated be- tween Forty-vecond and Fifty-sixth streets} and Fourth avenue and avenue A, pens. @ portion of the estate of Francis Parsall, di ‘On fthe tie ences eurady eal ddlings, nding ¢ close 2,800 bales.

Cent enue is a continuation of the Eighth avenue and Seventh ave- nue Boulevards, and it 15 to unite these with Central avenue by an elegant iron bridge over the Harlem river, making a grand drive from Jerome Park to the Central Park, New York. Tt will thus be seen that our anticipations regard- ing a busy spring in the real estate market already show signs of realization, although the above are but the earliest anuouncements, and merely initia- tory of other and much larger operations. ‘The sales.at the Exchange yesterday were com- paratively light, but attracted a fair attendance, and were generally satisfactory in their results.
