> on TT ee a FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘THURSDAY, Apri) 8—6 P. M, ‘Me relaxation in money was quite noticeable to- day, but was accompanied by a revival of specula- t§on in the stoek market, which may tend to counterbalance the good effects of the change. The banks and some of the private bankers report an in- orease in the receipts of curreney from the country; but a8 @ great deal of money is still going out of the city the gain will be only gradual for the ensuing week or two. A fairy easy money market is pot Prophesied until about the 20th of the month. At the beginning of business this morning as high as an eighth per cent was paid in a few instances, but the greater number of loans were made at a six- teenth, in addition to full interest, or ‘“‘fat”” The supply became perceptibly better towards three o’clock, when loans were inade at one-thirty-second, coin interest, and seven per cent currency. Gola was higher to-day, touching 18244, but the first advance was founded upon the scarcity ap- parent in the market, which caused some covering by the “shorts,” while those who held out against its upward tendency were forced to pay higher rates for borrowing. A rumor that the directors of the Bank of Engiand had raised the rate of discount to four and a half per cent was also instrumental in keeping the premium firm. Up to the close of busi- ness nothing had been made known regurding the truth of the rumor, but it is not the first time the cable has been silent at an important moment. As W the advance of conscis W 934g, it shoukl be remembered that they were unaifected by the lust in- Crease of the rate from three to four per cent, and were quoted 93 last Saturday. A ‘‘short” interest would put them to 033¢ as certainly as a reduction of the discount rate. The prominent cause of the rise in gold, however, was its purchase for the account of & broker who failed for three millions of dollars, He was “short”? to the extent just mentioned, and, being unable to fulfli his contracts, goid was bought for hith by his creditors without the publicity of an open purchase at the board. This demand for cash gold ran the premium up gbout a half per cent. Much regret is felt for the gentleman in question, ‘who, a8 & “bear”? in gold, will not be without public sympathy also, Of course his real loss is not three milhons, as might be implied by the above, but the difference between that figure and what it was bought in at. The range in price to-day was as fol- At a quarter to six o’clock the market was 132% a 182%, with one small sale at the latter figure. The demand for cash gold ranged from flat to 1-8 for borrowing up to Clearing House time, after which as high as 1-16 was paid for borrowing. The Havana steamer to-day took out $227,000 in treasure. The business at the Gold Bank resulted as follows:— Foreign exchange was still heavy, with 108% for the nominal price of sixty day sterling, but sales of prime bankers’ are reported at 108, The following Was the range of quotations:—Sterling 60 days, com- mercial, 1073¢ @ 1075; good to prime bankers’, 107% @ 10834; short sight, 1083 a 108%; Paris, 60 days, 6.2634 @ 5.20; short sight, 6.21% a 5.18%; Antwerp, 6.26% @ 6.213<; Switzerland, 5.2634 a 5.21’4; Ham- burg, 353¢ a 854¢; Amsterdam, 30% te 40%; Frank- fort, 40 a 40)4; Bremen, 7734 a 78; Prussian thalers, 204 @ 71. Governments opened firm and buoyant, under a large demand and in sympathy with an advance in London to 83%, the speculative investment being stimulate in a degree by the easier feeling in money. ‘The '62’s were the feature, selling at 120 quite freety. ‘The rival banking houses had another heavy skir- ‘mish, and all the stock that would be bought was offered. Pricea were lower at the noon board, but the market finally closed firm at the decline as follows:—United States sixes, 1881, registered, 153g @ 116; do., coupon, 115% a 116; do., five- twenties, registered, 109% @ 110; do., coupon, 1862, 110% @ 119%; do., 1864, 114K @ 116; do., 1866, 1163 @ 116%; do., new, 1866, 113% a 118%; do., 1867, 11354 @ 118%; do., 1868, 118% a 113%; ten-forties, registered, 104% & 106; do., coupon, 106% @ 105%; currency bonds, 103%, a 103%. ‘The stock market was buoyant, strong and higher to-day, closely reflective of the' relaxed state of the money market It cut loose from New York Central, which was suffered to fuctuate independently. The latter opened at 166, but-rapidly sold down to 1634, from which there was a recovery to 164%, a decline again to 1633, and a reaction at the close to 144%, stimulated by street rumors that the bill to capital- ize the scrip would pass to-night, although the Al- bany despatches indicate that its opponents have raised a very strong obstacle to its speedy considera- tion. The following, from the Boening Telegram, quite graphically describes ‘the sitwation” in this stock :— It is notorious that the Albany beg Moree) been heavy purchasers of Central during last few days, and are now “long” of this swck to a large amount—the general expectation being that, upon the announcement of the re a the stock would take sendden spring upw 2 has proven a false 1 e street, with that excellent Sppreciar tion of ‘the stuff of which legisiators are le, hav- Ing discounted the whole correctly.

Rates of interest remain at ten per cent. per annom, The — of currency to and fro the wterior was At St, Louis on the 5th— ‘There was a continued active demand for accom- modation in bank discount, witn a light suppiy of currency. The rate remained firm at 8 10 per cent. On the street the rate was firm at 1 a24¢ per cent per moath. Callicoans op “governiaents” were ob- tainable in bank at eight per cent, Other collaterals were rejected, At Cincinnati on the 5th— Depositors in good oredit were nerally supplied by their bankers, up to a certain Ine graduated by the value of their accounts, with money at 10 per cent, but for anything beyond this 12 per cent was charged, if their paper was accepted at ail.

At Philadelphia on the 7th— There was a continued demand for money, the banks pleading the same imability to afford relief as last week. There was, however, not so much sirin- gency as prevailed in New York. Call toans were made at seven per cent on approved collateral, and Al paper was placed at 8 a@ 9 per cent. Inierior ranged at from 10 to 12, according to credit. At Pittsburg on the 6th— With a large majority of banks and private dis- count houses money was very scarce. There had been of late heavy checking, and their lines of de- posits were comparatively low. Consequently they were compelled to refuse a great deal of good paper. The amount of first class paper on the spen market was very considerable, which is an evidence of the poverty of the city banks, At Buffalo on the 6th— The money market was ina rather stringent con- dition, ‘There was also a great scarcity of currency. discounts, SALES AT THE WEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

FOO Lge. a Lge. fee markee remained dull ‘The suggestion made here last Saturday respecting auction sales Is being followed out, and already one prominent house announces in a card that in future “they will receive no auction sales of real estate on which a limit is placed, unless the limit be publicly announced in the pgpers previous to the sale or at the saiesroom before the property 1s put up.” This is the srue idea. And if all the others were to proclaim a similar intention, and_ strictly adhe: to it, there would soon be a revival in favor of sal at auction in preterence to inquiry at the desx. The market presents no new features, the con- tinued “squeeze” in money being prejudicial to ac- tivity. City property is firm, but an impression still prevails that suburban lots are held too high. Sales of the latter are few and only made at concessions, except Brooklyn property, withim the present circle of 1mprovements, Which sells readily at fair figures.

The Inspectors will not relingnish any constitutional |p aoa hitherto enjoyed, and they have adjourned with the understanding that no harmontous action between the authorities can be effected till their respective powers are more accu- rately defined. While such a state of things exists it is little wonder that the convicts seek every oppor- tunity to avail themseives of the y of the code of discipline.

A Gentleman Robbed and Beaten Almost to Death at the Door of His Residence, in Bergen City—The Affair Shrouded in Mys- tery. In a comfortable dwelling house situate near the old church ia Bergen square, Bergen city, resides a gentleman named J. Waiter Thomas, twenty-two yeare of age and unmarried. The Hudson City horse care pass near the house. On Wednesday afternoon Mr. Thomas left the house, saying he was going to New York to purchase some clothing, He returned Jate at night and took the Bergen car at half-past twelve o'clock, this being the last car leaving Jersey City at night. He eamoked on the platform and talked freely with the eondactor. The only passen- gers onthe car besides Mr. Thomas were a gentie- man and three ladies, all residents of Bergen. When the car arrived at the di Mr. Thomas started off in the direction of his house, but the servant girl wondered why he did not come home that night.

Murtagh, in Fulton street, was broken into at an early hour yésterday morning and robbed of $125 worth of goods. The thieves were not detected. A VELOCIPEDB ACCIDENT.—A lady residing in Nostrand avenue was run over a few evenings since by a velocipede, propelled by some unknown per- son, on the sidewalk near her residence.

Narrow Escare.—James McFarland, a workman in Doubleday’s hat factory, in Ninth street, near Third avenue, narrowly escaped being killed yester- day afternoon.

Moody, lymg at the Atlantic Dock, was beaten so badly about the head by the mate of the vessel, named Moses, that the physicians look upon his recovery as doubtful.

PANIC IN A WILLIAMSBURG PUBLIC SCHOOL.—Yes- terday afternoon the teachers and pupils of public school No. 1, located in North Seventh street, Wil- liamsburg, were startled by the explosion of the heater in the celiar of the building. As might be- expected great consternation ensued among the children, and the teachers were momentarily ap- palled; but they soon regained their presence of mind, and under the direction of the Principal, Mr. James Predy, soon allayed the excitement. The alarm soon caused the people of the neighborhood to gather about the build- and the most fearful excitement was manifested by the increasing rowd, many of whom had children attending the school. With hn jue ent the teachers closed and fustened the joors and resisted the efforts of the frantic crowd outside to effect an entrance. At this critical junc- ture several policemen appeared upon the scene and the excitement soon subsided. Quiet having been restored, an investigation into the cause of the explosion was made, when it was found.that some mischievous person had thrown a large Union tor- jo into the furnace. During the confusion one ttle gr was badly injured, and the others left tor their homes badly scared, many of them hatless and all dreadfully scared. A Higuway Rosser Gers TWENTY YEARS AT Sine Sring.—In the Court of Sessions yesterday ‘Thomas McCann was found guilty of robbing a man by the name of Martin Murphy on the 14th of Janu- ary last. McCann is a hard character in every way and a notorious thief and highwayman. He has served one term of five years in the State Prison and aterm inthe Kings county Penitentiary. He was searcely out of the latter institution when he snatched @ watch from a man, and, knocking him down, made good his escape. In the case in which a verdict of guilty was found against him yesterday he, in company with another man, in wait for Murphy, knocked him down, and, when they had beaten him till senseless, him of his money. Murphy was afterwards bribed, it ts said, not to give testimony against bis assailant, McCann, pee nhs the case My Lag Fa 3 the court in = re- minary examination Murphy recognized n as the iman who had amaulted and Tobbed him, but yesterday failed to do so. But there was sufficient testimony besides, in the belief of the jury, to war- rant a verdict of guilty. In mn sentence on the prisoner Judge Troy said no man had ever had a fairer trial, and, considering the evidence against him, it was a wonder that the jury had not found him guilty in five minutes instead of deliber- as they had. He told the pris character was well known to baving érted him seven years. ing im seven ago w rob a man in Flushing avenue while driving im bis wagon. The man assaulted in that case, as in this one, Was bribed, and swore to a different state of facts before the Court from that given on the pre- liminary examination. Since your discharge from State Prison, the Judge continued, you have served @ year in the Penitentiary, and the Court thinks u be & mercy to yourself as well as @ necessity to the community, to put you out of your own way. ‘The sentence of the Court Is that you be confined at the State Prison at Sing Sing for the term of twenty years.

It much resembles the English Enfieid, having the same calibre. It is a very inferior arm, even among muzzle- loaders and 1s poorly constructed. There are some thirty or forty thousand of these in the island; most of the troops are armed with them, and they have been furnished to the volunteers for duty in the cities and forts. Since the commencement of the revolution about ten thousand improved breach- loading rifles have been imported by the government from New York, and the volunteers have purchased some 3,000 or 4,000 additional. In the matter of the importation of arms the au- thorities manifest the extremest jealousy, prompted in good part, as ] am informed from high authority, by their desire for uniformity in the armament of their forces; but, | suspect, more through fear of their ultimately falling into the hands of those inimical to the government. They would much prefer that all such importations should be done through them, and, as I have been informed, will undertake to dis- pose to the volunteer organizations such as maybe consigned to them and meet with their approbation, accounting to the importers. As, however, the credit of the authorities here is not of the nighest order, I do not learn that any very extensive arrangements of this character have been entered into. As to the arms of the revolutionists, on the other hana, but little is known with certainty. The insure rection was started practically without arms. Until recently it has been carried on with a few old such as were found on the estates and ranches, { ing pieces and machetes. The common people have very Comers made lances for themselves out of anything that was at hand, and a few small cannon have been manufactured by banding pieces of cast iron pipe with the hard woods of the country and pingming se breach. From the best information that can be obtained it is evident that not more than one- fourtn of the revolutionists now in the field are armed with firearms. The first invoice of arms of apy importance was brought by Quesada tn Decem- ber last, consisting of 3,000 rifles. Since that time various expeditions have landed; but even after being successfully accomplished great secrecy is maintained in reference to them for tear of compro- mising those having connection with them here and in the United States and preventing similar landings in the future, Although through the barrier of falsehood and misrepresentation which the Spanish authorities throw around operations inthe interior the truth finds its way but slowly, yet from time to time enough is known to justify the conciusign that the troops are maxing no headway in suppressing the Insurrection; that, on the contrary, matters are going on {rom bad to worse and that the ultimate success of the Cubans is probable. Nothing more would be needed to show the falsity of the reports made by the Spaniards in reference to the various encounters than their complete uniformity, General or Colonel somebouy finds a large number of rebels entrenched on an estate, attacks them at the point of the bay 16 onet, dislodges them, killing 200 and “Our 1088 Was one wounded,” or “8 rebels were surprised at breakfast on the cattie farm La something by six volunteers and a few of the Guardia Civil, and 104 killed; their chief was cap tured and instantly shot.” Such are the st varying tu no one material point, which take | whole columns of the Diario and other city papers, and in which it 4s as‘difficult to find one of trath as that well oy | “needle in a haystack.” Occasionally, been th soldier returned wounded, @ iétter from an too chivalric to He or the arrival of a foreigner from the scene of operations, we get a slight glimpee be- hind the curtain, by no means revealing: “200 insur gents killed and one Spaniard wounded.” Some time since we had accounts of a fight near J y Grande, in which piles of rebel dead were ni up.
