FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Fripay, May 7—8 P, M. ‘The day in Wall street has been one of the most excited for many months, perhaps for several years, ‘The transactions in all the markets were on an enor- mous scale and characterized by the greatest anima- tien. The chief feature was the sudden rise of over three per cent in gold, the dealings in which were not less than one hundred and fifty millions of dol- Jars. At one time a panic seemed imminent in the Stock Exchange, and there was a sudden and large “drop” in prices, but a reaction ensued at a late hour in the afternoon and the business closed with a better but not an entirely satisfied feeling. This sudden disturbance is to be traced re- motely to the increase of the Bank of Bngland rate of discount to four and a half per cent on Thursday last. The great financial centre of the world is ever jealous of its monetary supremacy. ‘With the threatened drain of money arising out of ‘he numerous European loans negotiating in the London market, not to speak of the brisk specula- tion which (has sprung up in United States securities, some prompt step was necessary to make money dearer in the English metropolis. Hence the advance in the rate of discount, whieh, according to ether indices, is really below the open market rate of interest. Stocks were slow to feel this alteration. The dechine yesterday was comparatively light. To-day, however, the truth of the situation seemed to break upon the minds of London financiers, and consols fe to 92% for cash and tive-twenties toa figure variously reported from 78 down to 76%. The regu- Jar commercial report by cable was perfectly value- Jess in this crisis, and the only persons who were Rot working in the dark were those who had private telegrams direct from their foreign correspondenta 3t was this decline in bonds which first started the Temarkable changes of to-day, and the effect is directly traceable throughout the several branches of Wall street business, Government bonds at the opening were heavy and Jower in response to the first reports of a decline of ene half per cent in five-twenties at London. Gold under this influence took an upward start mmmediately after the opening of the Gold Room. ‘The rise in gold going to the other side of the At- Jantic caused a further decline there in bonds, and the report which came back was given to the street with all sorts of amendments and additions, an- nouncing among other things that there was a panic im London; that the Bank of England had advanced its discount rate still farther; that immense foreign orders had been received to buy gold, and that the great Powers of Europe had united 1n the offensive toward the United States in the matter of recog- nizing Cnban independence and suffering Cuban filibusters to leave our ports. hat there has been considerable commotion in the London money market there is no docbt, But the cable informs us of a renewal of the Fenian outbreak in Ireiand, and which is, probably, @ prominent cause of the uneasiness, happening as it does at a moment when tue foreign loans and the speculation in our securities have rendered the market quite active. Under the combination of ‘these influences, as well as in consequence of the semt-official announcement from Washington that Secretary Boutwell, consistent in nis policy of irreso- dation, was unwilling to exercise the privileges of the Sinking Fund act before the close of the fiscal year, yovernments sank rapidly until the 762s «touched $117 and the 67s 114%— a decline of one and three-quarters per cent. From this point, however, there was a reaction, in consequence of the higher price of gold and a recovery to much better figures at the close of business, when the following quotations prevailed:— United States sixes, 1881, registered, 118% @ 118%; do., coupon, 1183¢ a 11834; five-twenties, registered, 113 @ 11335; do. do., coupon, 1862, 1173, @ 117%; do. do., coupon, 1864, 113 a 11334; do, do., coupon, 1865, 11434 a 114%; do. do., coupon, 1865, new, 115% & 115%; do. do., coupon, 1867, 11534 a 11534; do. do., coupon, 1868, 11534 a 11534; do., ten-forties, regis- tered, 1073{ @ 10744; do. do., coupon, 107% @ 107%; currency bonds, 10614 a 1063. In gold the effects were perhaps more directly visibie. Early in the forenoon sales were made as Jow as 13634, the closing price of the previous day. By noon the price had risen to 137%. This rise was Jolowed by the sudden decline in bonds at London, about which the reports were so contradictory, all ‘uniting that it was quite large, but none agreeing as to the exact extent. In the interval to the return espatch gold was steady (!) at 13734 a 137%. Soon after three o’clock the earliest recipients of the news began their purchases, and the price went rapidly up to 139%, ylelding later to 1383;. The range of price was as follows:— 10 A.M... 10: 10 Loy M bd = bo BEXEES NEY coptenee vers wes RET Such was the e: eccupied until after six o'clock. Cash gold continued in good supply. Loans were made at 7 and 8 per cent and 1-52 before Clearing House, and at 4, 6 and 7 per cent afterwards for carrying. One transaction Was recorded at flat. The report of the Gold Ex- change Bank shows the heavy business of yesterday. The following are the igures:— Gold cleared. . ser bt Gold valances Currency balances . ‘Rozkves Tne course of the stock market was wildly irregu- jar, but the fuctuations were divided into two great periods, that portion of the day corresponding toa heavy advance in New York Central and that portion of the afternoon corresponding to the highest price for gold. In the morning there was a still further pronunciation of the specalative feeling for a rise noticed during the previous day, and New York Cen- tral, ding the list, t ouched179%—only % less than Wwe figure predicted by Mr. Vanderbilt, or by his fmends for him, when the famous eighty per cent scrip dividend was declared. In this advance, which was based upon further tele- grams from Albany, Hudson River touched 15644, avd Harlem 150, Fort Wayne 150, Michigan Southern 1057. The chief exceptions were the St. Paul stocks and Rock Island. La(e in the afternoon the tactics of the various cliques were suddenly interfered with by the rise in gold. Some are supposed to have sold stocks to buy it, The changed condition of things Produced chaos in the plans of the severai stock- Jobbing combinations, and a panic came near result- ing. The exciteme nt just about five o'clock, when the Long Room closed, was very great. The!surging throng emerging upon the street swayed and surged along the sidewalk and pavement in front of the Stock Exchange, while the opposite windows were lined with faces looking down pon the crowd as apo a passing procession. wrokers and brokers’ boys were darting about at the top of their speed, while a Babel of cries prevailed in the crowd. The crowd again was divided up into groups represent. ing particular stocks, such as New York Central, Fort Wayne, Michigan Southern, and suck prominent members of the list. In the half panic which engued Central sold down to 176 and Rock Island to 123%;. ‘Towards six o'clock less stock was being offered and the apprehensive feeling began to disappear under a Movement to disconnect the list with the London market. Prices recovered rapidly for Central, and Rock Island, but more faintly for the other shares. The following were the closing prices of the last open board:—Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express, 406; American, 40)¢ a 4144; Adams, 6054 a 61; United States, 63 a 64; Merchants’ Union, 15 bid; Quickstiver, 2034 @ 207,; Canton, 60 a 62; Pacific Mail, %2'5 bid; Western Union Telegraph, 42% a 43; New York Central, 179 a 179),; Hudson River, 156 & 16634; Mariom, 148 @ 150; Reading, 964 a 90% 5 Chicago and Alton, 160 a 100)¢; do. preferred, 168 bid; Alton and Terre Haute, 49; do. ‘preforred, 66 a 09; Toledo and Wabach, 72% 19; do, proferred, 78 a 76; Milwaukee and St. Paul, 5 do, preferred, 6636 @ 86%; Fort Wayne, 14934 4150; Ohio ana Missiseppl, 32% @ 52%; Michigan Southern, 106% @ 105%; Imola Central, 145 & 146; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 92) a #24; Lake Shore, 104% @ 105); Rock Isiand, 12044 a Northwestern, 85)4 @ 85%; do, Preferred, 97.14 Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central, 47 a Boston Water Power, 10%; Mariposa, 19 9 19%; do, preferred, 42), a 433;.

The following are among the latest real estate movements in Boston:— On Thursday Mr. George M. Atwood sold at at auction a tot of land on Beacon street, Somer- ville, adjoining the schoolhouve lot on the south, with a front of 100 feet on the street and a depth of 100 feet, to William McBay, for 13 cents per foot. Mr. Atwood also sold a lot of land located on Cogs- well’s avenue, North Cambridge, near Porter’s sta- tion, between the estates of Oliver Taylor and the late Enoch Brown, containing avout 15,000 square feet, to Peter Underwood for 11 cents per foot. Mr. Wim. Archer sold at auction on ‘Tuesday the es- tate No, 129 Essex street, Salem, consisting of brick dwelling houses and 13,000 ieet of laud, purchased by Aaron Perkins for $12,000; aiso an estate in Bridge street, consisting of dweiling house and 15,000 feet of land, purchased by Paul Upton for $3,475, and a buniding lot on Bridge street, about 7,000 feet, which ‘was purchased by Samuel F, Upton for $300. On Thursday Mr. Arcuer sold the Dr. Jones estate in Wenham, consisting of dwelling house an bout four acres of land. It was purcuased by Jona! street for $2,250. The Chicago Repubdltcan of a late date thus records the condition and incidenis of the market in that city:—A rumor was in circulation on the street to- day that the Board of Comunissioners for the south Park had issued @ considerable amount of bonds, which had been temporariiy hypotuecated for funds to pay for lands to be taken jor the South Park. The report, however, 18 incorrect, as the Commissioners, thouga tuey contemplate active ‘steps in the securing und Haproverans of the park as soon ag it can be done judiclousiy, have issued no bonds yet.
