10 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Monpay, April 12—6 P. M, There is a widespread feeling in Wall street in favor of the use of the idie gold balance now in the vaults of the Treasury, amounting in the aggregate to more than @ hundred millions of dollars, On one side it is proposed that @ portion of this sam should be sold for the benefit of the gold-buying commu- nity, the importing merchants, but objections are raised, on the other hand, that the money market is in too stringent @ condition at the present time to be subjected to the ad- ditional aggravation of such @& withdrawal of currency from circulation, Our business men are already loud in their complaints of the lack of accommodation from which they are now suffering; #0 that this lan would not be the most satisfactory ene. The situation is not a very hopeful one, unless some consolation may be derived from the arrival to-day of about a million and a quarter of dollars in gold, If this is the avant courrier of similar ship- men(s—aud some seven willions Was said to be on the water this afternoon—the relief will come just before the payment of the May coupons, The con- wmignmeut which came to hand to-day was the result of the great “‘break” in foreign exchange noticed about two weeks since. It is a coincidence that we ‘have had another demoraljzation of foreign exchange ‘to-day, and with it the rumor of the large shipment referred to. Meantime it would be a source of grati- Aeation to the importing merchants if the present @pecuiative advance in gold was abated. The gov- ernment is earning no interest upon the gold which Wis hoarding to pay the May coupons, and might therefore set it free without the rebate, The situa- téon demands more gold in the gold market without any diminution of the supply of currency in the money market. The recent sharp rise was the result of speculation for a fail. The ‘bears’ in gold have the popular side of the question; but then there ought to be no speculation at all, Hence a writer in an evening journal is just about right when he eaye:— The Treasury ts blamed for not cashing the May faterest in full outof its surplus, We cannot sym- pathize with this. The rebate of interest on the maturing coupou is & proper business proceeding, wiule the prepayment in full plays directly into the hanis of gold speculators, and the government has moshing to do with them, or with the dealers in rail- road stocks. The question of suitable use for the surplas of coin owned by the Treasury is entirel! apart irom this, whether |t be best to hoard it, sell it for currency, or buy 12 and cancel bonds tendered ata gold valuation, ‘this constant calling upon the Treasury to aid men in their purely specalgtive operations is outrageous, and it is ime tt was under- stood that its business is not to be made the secret may of rabid speculation. We have suffered too mach by this in the past to be wing to see it con- tinued with any degree of satisfaction, Money was comparatively easy at the opening of business to-day, and some loans were made at coin imierest; but the activity increased until a sixteenth and interest was freely paid after two. o'clock, and ap eighth “flat” for some small lotsin the vicinity @ three o'clock. The banks received currency to-day, but in amounts exceeding their ship- ments by a trifle ox The intimation was made again that the banks are the backers of the “Shylocks” who copiinge to exact such high Fates for money. It was stated this evening Wat the District Attorney was imstituting inquiries on Wall street with a view to obtaining evidence for the prosecution of parties Jending money at usurious rates of interest, and that NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, APR do. preferred, 367% a 37; Hudson River, 1447% @ 145; Hari 1384 & Terre Haute, 38 Toledo and Wabash, 69 a 6954 ‘79; Milwaukee and St. Paul, 777 139; Reading, 92% 293; Alton and @ 39; do, preferred, 6735 @ 68, ; do, preferred, 78a a 78; do. preferred, 84% @ 854; Ohio and Mississippl, 32% @ 33; Fort Wayne, 131% a Minois Central, 9045 a 90%, 13234 @ 132: 142; Michigan Southern, 98 a 98; 139 a 140; Cleveland and Pittsburg, Lake Shore, 97% @ 97%; Rock Island, orthwestern, 84 & 841g; do. prefer- red, 95% a 98; Chicago and Alton, 152 a 155; da, preferred, id's a@ 166; Bankers and Brokers, 106 The earnings of the Chicago and Northwestern y for the first week in Apri! were:— Ratirvad Compan, 1869... 1568.

At Weetfleld, Union county, N. J., on Satine: there was an auction sale of fifty-three lots at pr ranging from $150 to $300 per lot. The Chicago Times applies the recommendation made here some time since respecting the manner of conducting auction sales to that city. Its issue of Saturday says:—“It secias hardly necessary to say that anction sales of real estate, to be profiiable, must be such that the public will have confidence in the managers of them. There should certainly be no terts or coadiiions hidden from the purchasers. Ifthe property does not bring what it is belleved it is worta it should be withdrawn from sate; but the disrepatable practice of knocking down the purchases to fictitious bidders, which has so nearly rumed the business in New York, tt will hardly be profitable to repeat in Chicago, Yet it is reported that, at che small auction of property on Thursday alternogn, there were ns present whom the audicng® believed to be leagued with the auctioneer to run up prices, And this, 1 is said, Was the rea- son why the bidding ceased, the audleuce melted away and the sale Was terminated atter tne sale of haul a dozen lots. ‘ihe same paper further says:—There are many specific Instances of remarkabie fortunes that have been tnade in Chicago by dealing In‘rea: estate; but it 14 not probable that there are many cases of #9 rapkd appreciation of value as fol- lows:—In the montana of February, 1867, Mr. James Moran, a bullder, of tis city, bought anacre of land of Judge John M. Wilson ior $1,000. ‘The land Was situated on Indiana avenue, gear Six- teenth sireet. fe sold it, after holding it for seven months, (dr $2,300, thereby making 140 per cent, The man to whom he soid held possession for about a year, when he sold for $4,000. Tae party who now has possession will not take $8,000 for the acre, ihe Aurora Beacon says Judge 8. D. Lockwood, of Batavia, who, with Stephen A. Douglas. bought a tract of forty acres in South Chicago several years ao, for which whey paid $490 per acre, Has just suid his share for $50,000, fhe transiers of Chicago real estate, as published for Lue jast few days, show that property within the d city limits is mach more active, comparatively, n that which lies beyond those limits. The Hontavilie, Ala., Democrat of alate date has the following respecting real estate in that city:— Yesterday a great deal of real estate Was sold for taxes, generaily small sums, which the better indt- cute the scarcity of hy I or the diMiculy of collect- ing i, notwithstanding the large amount of cottou sold at high price, which tt seems ought to have brought plenty of money ‘nto this county, The fine larwe brick dwelling and large lot on Adams avenue belonging to the estate of William McDowell, de. ceased, were sold at public outcry for cash, and oought by Mr. Francis J.
