FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘Toespay, March 9—6 P. M. At the close of business to-nigut it was generally Gredited in Wall street that the complications with reference to the Treasury Secretaryship were ended by the resignation of Mr. Stewart and the accept- ‘ance thereof by the President. The goid market was again very fitful over the telegrams from Washing- ton, and the range in fluctuations exceeded one per eent, The course of the premium was reflective of the varying character of the despatches received. ‘The opening price was 13144, from which there was an advance to 131%. Rumora favorable to the chances of Mr, Stewart, current at noon, caused 8 reaction to 180%, the lowest point of the day. From this figure there Was a steady. advance w 131% ® 132 about five o'clock, the market being rendered firm by large purchases on the part of houses who were “posted” on the subject of Mr, Stewart’s final with- @rawal. Later there was a reaction from these highest figures as a consequence of @ pressure to well by partics who were “long” of gold at lower 1PM... . 1 sl During the regular hours of business there was fair activity in loans, which were made at 6 a2 per cent for carrying. Aiter Ciearmg House time loans Were made at from five per cent for carrying to flat for borrowing. The market was duller as compared With the previous two days, but the transactions in erdinary times would seem enormous. The Gold Exchange Bank report was as follows: Gross clearings. Gold balances. Currency balances. The European steamer took out $39,000 in specie. Governments opened with a steady feeling and a slight improvement in some of the issues, based ‘upon the reported firmness of the market abroad. At the noon board there was a yet better feeling and ‘an advance which carried '62’s to 118% and ’67’s to 113, The more immediate occasion of this rise was @ cable telegram announcing the London price to be 83, but the market was likewise sympathetic with the rumor mentioned in the previous paragraph, of Mr. Stewart’s induction into office. At the after- noon board, this report having been disproved and bonds in London having receded to 82%, there was @ yielding in prices to the opening figures, bat without any pressure to sell—a condition of things which rendered the market very dull. At the close the “home” issues—as the street is inclined to style the bonds which are excluded from the favor- ites for exportation—were @ shade firmer in conse- quence of the advance in gold. Prices closed as fol- Jows at five o'clock this evening:—United States eixes, 1881, registered, 114% @ 116; do., coupon, 116 a 12634; do., 6-20’s, registered, 113), a 114; do., coupon, 1962, 1185 @ 118%; do., 1864, 11454 @ 11434; do., 1865, 11634 a 116%; do., new, 1865, 112% a 118; do., 1867, 112% 9113; do., 1868, 112% @ 113; do., 10-40’s, Tegistered, 104 @ 104%; do., coupon, 1053 @ 1053,.; earrency bonds, 102 a 10234. Sonthern securities were largely dealt in. Tennes- sees closed one-half and North Carolinas about one per cent higher. Lousianas were steady. There ‘were no changes in the rest of the general list. Foreign exchange was weaker. The advance in bonds abroad was made known here just about the time of closing for Wednesday’s steamer, ‘The market is quite unsettled nowadays, and whatever temptation exists to buy at the reduced rates ts checked by the hopeof a lower Premium on gold, Quotations ranged to-lay as follows:—Sterling, sixty days, commercial, 103 108%; good to prime bankerws’, 1083, a 108%; short sight, 109 9 100%. Paris, sixty days, 5.21% @ 5.173; short sight, 5.16% 9 6.15. Antwerp, 5.2236 @ 6.1734. Switzerland, 5.22 a 6.17. Hamburg, 353% @ 85%. Amsterdam, 403% a 40%. Frankfort, 40% @ x. Bremen, 78% 8 78%. Prussian thalers, 70% a ns. Honey was @ shade more active, but borrowers ‘were accommodated at the full legal rate on both government and miscellancous collaterals, Excep- tions on the pledge of the former kind of securities are reported at six per cent. The observance of the new law with reference to the certification of checks has created a great deal of annoyance, but has not prevented the bankers and brokers from carrying on their business as usual. Nearly all the banks insisted to-day upon being obedient to tts provisions. The exceptions intend to wait for official ratification from Washington. Where accommodation is not thus directly afforded a number of expedients are resorted to, Some of the banks endorse “accepted? instead of “certified.” Others again make loans to their customers at the rate of one per cent per annum, covering an amount averaging the dally sum usually certified to. In other cases checks to this amount drawn on @ different bank are deposited and the balance made good or the check redeemed before the close of busi- neas, The law is a senseless and useless one. It 1s of no possible benefit to the community. The only persons in danger from this system of certification are the stockholders of the bank, who certainly should have the privilege of managing their affairs as seems best to them. A loss resulting from the failure of the drawer of a certified check to make good his account would not fall upon the note-noid- ers or upon the public, but simply upon the stock- holders who entrust the matter of certification to their cashier or some special oMcer. The present Congress woul! do @ good act in immediately re- pealing the law. ‘The following were the bids for city bank stocks to-day:—New York, 132; Merchants’, 125; America, 145; National, 140; Seventh Ward, 110; Commerce, 122%; Mechanics’ Banking Association, 120; Ameri- can Exchange, 118; Bank of‘the Republic, 117; Bank of Norih America, 109; Metropolitan, 141; People’s, 140; Shoe and Leather, 131; Continental, 99; St. Richolas, 113; Commonwealth, 111; Importers and ‘Traders’, 129; Park, 157; Fourth National, 101; Ninth National, 111, ‘The National Stock Exchange, the new board of brokers, held a meeting at 54 Broad street this after- noon. Mr. James Fisk, Jr., was present. Ina brief speech he congratulated them upon the success of the organization. Did tney consent to call Erie he and his friends would guarantee them plenty of business. The old boards were anxious to have ‘Brie on the list again. Money could put it there if he wished. Overtares had been made to him within ‘the past eight days. But Erie was going to have a Rome in the new board. They should have all the money they desired to carry out the new institution. He would state that since the new direction came into office there had been no overissues of stock and no conver. sion of convertible bonds. There was a sworn state- ment to that effect at Alvany, A vote was then taken and the proposition to cai) Erie met with only ‘one dissenting voice. The meeting then adopted the call list and after some routine business adjourned to Thursday, when dealings in stock will commence ‘with a formal session of the board. ‘The general stock market was firm and higher. The speculative feeling i# fully awakened, but is con- fined to the cliques. The “outside public’ has been but alimly represented in the transactions of the past few days. The feature to-day was Hudson River, which advanced beyond 140 on the strength of a report that @ Scrip dividend of fifty per cent is to be de- Clared, but when ts not stated. New York Central Tose about one per cent to-day, and was largely dealt in, against the expected action of the lemis- lative committee. Mariposa touched 16. Erie was steady in the vicinity of 36. Rock Island was very strong, selling freely at 120)4. The express stocks ‘were firmer, on account of the settiement of the Merchants’ Union litigation and a compromise be- tween the Erie Company and the United States Company. As to the former suit, curious disclosures are made, mowing the modus operand: of affecting the Wall street market.

Prices have not fallen off, but their present high figure, especially for suburban property, inducing @ desire to realize before a possible reaction on the part of those who pur chased only for purposes of speculation, there is @ temporary lull in their farther appreciation which would seem to be indicative of early pres- sure to sell, All who have purchased property in the neighborhood of New York city with a view to permanent investment, and are pre) carry their lots ,until such time as tbe projected im- provements which have given activity vo the Market sre completed, are, as we have be- fore said, perfecty sure of ultimate profit, even at the highest figures now ruling; but there are many who have mvested wholly with a view to an sale at an increased vaiue who will find themselves forced to sell at possibly concessions, from inability to bear the taxes appraised upon the anticipatory value property has obtained through the speculative activity prevailing. It is this matter of taxes that principally occasions the eet arrest of the excitement which pre- vailed last fall and earlier this year. These taxes would not, of course, be burdensome If the Pacific Railroad was already bringing the treasures of Asiatic production to our warehouses in exchange for the manufactured Weaith of Burope, and, with Brooklyn and New York united by a bridge or bridges, the grandeur of Metropolitan development assured in our future were already un ait accompli, and our population and commerce doubled; but while these things are erat wae and much of this land must lie le, it will need considerable capital to hold the market firm at the present pfices. Men who buy for immediate use and improvement are safe in so doing, as they render their purchases immediately roductive, and can afford to disregard the fluctua- ions of the market, but those who are only specu- Jators, a8 men deal in stocks, are in danger, in the present ‘“Learisa’ ieeting of outsiders, of being caught.
