FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Tusspay, May 18—6 P, M. ‘There was a decided recovery in the tone of the markets this morning, when it became apparcut that the failure of yesterday involved no addiuonal dosges, A great deal of appreheusion was maul- fested for the standing of several houses in Ex- ehange place, who were known to be connected with the bankrupts; but as they met all demands against them the feeling aisappeared. In tie afternoon a Tumor was started that a foreizn house had sus pended, and there was a flurry in gold which carried it up about three-quarters per cent, As the rumor ‘was grouudiess it is supposed to gave been manufactured to help some of the “buils’” who had bougit at the topof the market and were airald of the declining tendency which the premium evineed. ‘The better feeling in the street was encouraged by the reporta from London, where bonds opened at 7734 aud advanced to 78%, showing thatthe tailure bad not produced much alarin in the foreign connec- ons or the house, ‘The advance in gold to-day was Productive of a less easy feeling late im the day at London, and prices there closed as low as 77/5, ac- cording to private advices, buftue market was dini and flat, owing to the prevalence of @ seml- holiday. In the home market bonds opened stealy, a8 @ consequence of the price of gold, but there was some caution shown, fh dealings. At noon the recovery was still yore marked. At the Jastsession of the board ¢ie market was excitedly buoyant, 62's advanemg to 122, and 67’s to 120, ‘The Tower preg im Burope caused some hesitation after ‘We OOfFds, but the strengih of gold and the eve of the secoud purchase of bonds by the government led to afurther pronunciation of the bullish feeling, and 62's were carried to the extraordinary figure of 1223{, which was bid with no bonds offering. The following were the closing strect prices this even- ing:—United States sixes, 1881, registered, 122% ® 123; do., coupon, 123 a 123%; do., five-twen- ties, registered, 117 @11734; do. do., coupon, 1862, 12234; do. do., coupon, 1364, 11724 a 11734; do, do., coupon, 1865, 11834 a 11844; do. do., coupon, 1865, hew, 120'¢ @ 12034; do. do., coupon, 1867, 1204 a ; do. do., coupon, 1863, 12015 a 12034; do., teil- forties, registere |, 10934 @ 110; do, do., coupon, 110 @ 110%; currency bonds, 107% @ 108, ‘The money market was again aetiye im the fore- noon, owing to the shade of uneasiness remaining irom the occurrence of the day before, but as the day advanced rates on call fluctuated to the lately ruling figures, In fact, there was, if anything, an easier feeling i the afternoon, and large loans on miscellaneous stock collatera's were made at six per cent, the lender being desirous of avoiding the an- noeyance of distributing the sum in several loans even at the full legal figure. Commercial paper was in fair demand at rates ranging from seven to nine per cent for prime short and long double name ac- ceptances. Foreign exchange reflected the higher price of gold by a dall and inactive market. The importing merchants hesitate to buy, hoping for lower gold to pay for their foreign purchases, or casting about them for bonds or other suvstitutes. The prime bankers are stiif in their rates. The recent failure has created some scrutiny, if net discredit, of inferior paper, which shows a concession in rates. The range of quotations was as follows:— Sterling, sixty days commercial, 10814 a 109; good to prime bankers’, 1093¢ & 10954; short sight, 11035 ® 110%; Paris, sixty days, 5.2114 @ 5.1644; short sight, 6.15 @ 6.133; Antwerp, 6.21% @ 6.1634; Switzériand, 6.2114 @ 6.164%; Hamburg, 35% @ 3574; Amsterdam, 40 @ 40%; Frankfort, 40% a@ 40%; Bremen, 78 @ 78%; Prussian thalers, 703¢ @ 71%. Gold was very consistent in its fluctuations, open- ing steady, If not weak, In answer to the dissipation of the fears of an extension of the disastrous results of the suspension. With the recovery of bonds in London there was a yielding to 14134, but from this point there was an advance to 14214, based upon the false report of another failure to-day, The'reaction carried the price back to 141%, but the subsequent decline in bonds at London started it up to 142% at four o'clock, the uneasiness being aggravated by ru- mors of Cabinet dissensions at Washington, The range of price was as follows:— Cash gold was in abundant supply. For carrying the rate for the Clearing House was seven to five per cent, with an exception at three. In the after- noon four to two per cent were paid for carrying. ‘The disbursements of coin interest to-day were $183,360, The steamer Westphalia, for Europe, took out $50,000 in specie. The following is the report of the Gold Exchange Bank:- Gold cleared. +++ $143, 152,000 old balances. + 1,735,949 urrency balances. + 9,645,811 The following were the bids for the city bank stocks:—New York, 130; Manhattan, 145; Mer- chants’, 127; Mechanics’, 136; America, 148; City, 200; Phenix, 110%; Butchers and Drovers’, 135; National, 110; Merchants’ Exchange, 118; Stare of New York, 1083;; Ocean, 107; American Exchange, Chatham, 152; Bank of North America, 111; Hanover, 112; Metropolitan, 142; Nassau, 105; Corn Exchange, 131; St. Nicholas, 115; Marine, 152; Com- monweaith, 117; Importers and Traders’, 135; Park, 162; Manufacturers and Merchants’, 101; Fourth Na- tional, 1064; Ninth National, 113. ‘The stock market was buoyant and higher, with few exceptions, in response to the improved feeling gucceeding the discovery that the disaster in Ex- change piace had not invoived other houses. The Vauderbilt siocks were stronger, and New York ad- vanced to the highest point it has ever attained. Fort Wayne recovered about two per cent and the Northwestern shares about one. A mistake In the stock slip, quoting Erie at 39%, was copied in this paragraph yesterday. It shonla have been 29%. Rock Island advanced about two per cent; but underwent hammering in the afternoon which carried it back to 125, from which it again advanced one per cent, There is a very in- teresting struggle between the cliques over this stock, oue very promment firm being “short,” while & powerful combination are “long” of it. Pacific Mail recovered to 047%. These were the salient fea tures of ‘the list, but the market was, on the whole, very dull, and brokers are complaining of the lack of “orders.” After the adjournment of the Long Room the market became more animated, in sympathy with the sudden renewed strength of New York Central, which advanced to 183% on the report that the Governor had signed the Scrip bill, The following were the closing quotations on the call at tre last session of the Stock Exchange:— Canton, 62 a 6244; Boston Water Power, 17 a@ 18; Cumberiand, Wells-Fargo Express, 3435 @ 25; Adams, 60% & 01%; American, 40% @ 4054; United States, 054% a 66%; Merchants’ Union, 15 @ 16)4; Quickstlver, 19\4 @ 193g; Pacific Mall, 0434; Western Union Telegraph, 44 a 44%; New York Central, 182% bid; Mariposa, 25% a 24; do. preferred, 49'4 a 40)4; Hadson Kiver, 166 @ 166%; Harlem, 146% @ WW Reading, 96's 0 96%; Alton and Terre Haute, 3034 @ 40; do. preferred, 78; Toledo’ and Wabash, 75; do. preferred, 82; Milwaukee and St, Paul, 175; a 77K; do. preterred, 87 a 874%; Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central, 45 a463¢; Ohto and Mississippi, 83%; Fort Wayne, 153% & 153%; Michigan Central, 126 bid; Michigan Soathern, 106% @ 106)¢; Iiinois Cen- tral, 140% bid; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 03% a 0334; Lake Shore, 106'§ @ 106%; Rock Island, 1274; Northwestern, 91% & 144; do. preferred 102% & 102)4; Hannibal and St. Joseph, 11634 @ 117; do pre- ferred, 116; Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati, 74% a 75; New Jersey Central, 11944 119%; Chicago and Alton, 166 @ 167; do, preferred, 155 a 167, In Souchern securities Tennessee new bonds were Pressed for sale, with a depressing effect upon the Price, New North Carolinas were “‘off,” but the list ‘Was otherwise steady, and, for the Alabamas, strong. ‘The following were the closing street quotations for the leading bonds:—Tennessees, ex coupon, 67)¢ @ 68; 40., NeW, 664 @ 66%; Virginias, ex coupon, 67 @ 57)4} do, new, 62 a 6254; Georgia sixes, 82 @ 8244; do. sevens, 95 & 96; North Carolinas, ex coupon, 6054 © 60; do., new, 66 @ 6534; Missouri sixes, 80% @ 804; do.

Save the clamor of an office-seeking crowd—a thing of daily cecurrence in the Collector's apart- Mment—matters are going along quietly in the Custom House, and few caanges of any consequence have been recentiy made in the working force of the institution, Collector Grinnell has still to appoint half a hundred or so of deputy collectors through- out the State, together with making no small num- ber of changes in the course of time among the pre- sent force of employés in this city; but he intends to feel his way cautiously and make no hasty appointments, especially when he has an array of over 12,000 filed applications to choose from. 1t is well the Collector is aman of so much genial good na- ture, and yet capable of uniting the suaviter im modo with the fortiier in re; eise it 18 dificult to see how he could ever stand for a week the intolerable pres- sure of bores and place-seekers that infest his oitice from morning tl!l afiernoon of every day. Scattered around his oitice yesterday morning at eleven o’clock were over a dozen men looking for places in the Custom House. This number was the standing or rather sitting average throughout the day. Every other minute half-a-dozen went away, but were repiaced by half-a-dozen more very quickly, Here is a tall young man, of fine appearance, who presents @ paper to the Collector and urges bis claims for an office. The Collector opens it and dis- covers it is a recommendation from Governor Cur- tin, of Pennsylvania, without any other names being aitached. He thereupon turns to the expectant young man, and observes:— “i see, according to Governor Curtin, that you have fought through the war; and, judging by your style, 1 should say you would suit in some depart- ment of the Custom House; but then there are lots of young men from this city and gState, who aiso fought hrough the war, and who have been recommended to me by dist ished men of New York; but, al- though their applications have been fled, many of them have not yet been reached.” . Young man (cavalierly)—“Governor Curtin, I should think, ought to be recommendation enough; ud as loag a8 a man fought in the Union army and always voted the republican ticket I don’t believe it matters where he cameirom. A Pennsylvanian is any day as gooa as a New Yorker.’” Coliestor, without losing his good humored expres- sion for a moment—* Well, sir, you have @ Collector in Philadelphia. He may have as many situations to give away as I have, and Governgr Curtin’s name will certainly be e#-potent with hinf'as with me. At the same time I have no objection to taking more favorable consideration of your papers if you can present New York endorsements of equal weight with that from Pennsylvania; but this much I want to assure you, that the certificate of a New Yorker will alw: receive preference in this department to that of any other. If you cannot do this then I shall pot be able to entertain your application.” And thereupon the candidate from Pennsylvania retired 1n disgust, Next came, right upon the heels of the other, a very red faced native of Orange county, New York, who rattled into the Collector's ears the fan of some John Smith for deputy collector that pe toral region, winding up by declaring that the place had been previously promised by the Collector to the said Sinith, ‘The Collector put .on his spectacies, read the application, thought awhile, and then said he was utterly uaconscious of having made any such promise, “Oh, yes you did,’? asserted the red faced man from Orange; “and if he don’t get it we want to know the reason why.” “Well,” said the Collector, “a man is already ap- pointed for that place. You must be laboring under some mistake.”” “There’s no mistake,” retorted the other, some- what fiercely. ‘Our man is the only one the peopie of ‘Grange county want to see in that position, and, and?— Here the Collector recognized a gentieman from Washington waiting anxiously to see him, 89 he cut the aialogue short and left the gentleman from Orange thumping away at the paper whereon the application of his friend was written, and, having smoothed it out fully, left it defiantly on the most conspicuous part of the Collector's desk and strode grandly out of the door. Several Iriah republican Fenians were among the crowd that waited to have a talk with the head man of the Custom House; but the majority of the place seekers, though they were all kindly received, leit without feeling any very bright assurance of being provided for. The Ways and Means Committee of Congress, ap- pointed to investigate Custom House affairs, held a session all day long in a room adjoining the Coilec- tor’s, They have now been in session fora term of six days eXamining those officers and ex-officers of the Custom House whose experience might be caicu- lated to give the clearest ideas of Custom House management, and whose suggestions as to reforms therein might be supposed to carry an unusual de- es of weight. Among the witnesses that have been fore the commitiee is Mr. Hubbel, of the export depastment. The memovers addressed him a great variety of questions on the subject of exports, all of which were fully and readily answered. What re- form may be pointed out as necessary in this depart- ment the committee cannot yet determine suificteatly clear. Mr. Bruce, formerly Deputy Collector, was also a witn and likewise Mr. Pratt, now in the emplo; of Mr. A. T. Stewart, but previvusly connected wit the Custom House, Mr. Lawrence, in charge of the bonded warehouse, gave evidence as to the working of that branch of tue revenue institutions, ‘The committee naturally took a deep interest in Mr. Lawrence’s statements, as the subject of which he tréated has already occupied no inconsiderabie share of the Congressional attention. The utility or otherwise of bonded warehouses has been a deal discussed of late years, and as a great deal of iraud on the government has been very flagrantly perpetrated through their agency there are not wanung those who ask for their aboli- Mon altogether. It is anderstood the committee will propose such radical measures of reform as will do away with many abuses which are said now to prevail, The committee will continue in session fur perhaps a week longer, aud then proceed to Philadelphia. NEW YORK DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTE. Commemorative Exercises of Its Fifty-second Anniversary—Annaal Election of Directors, Yesterday the fifty-second anniversary of this in- stitucion was commemorated by a business meeting of the society and appropriate exercises of the pu- pils at their buildings, delightfully situated on Wash- ington Heights, The occasion was embraced by many ladies and gentiemen, kind friends of this no- bie and successful undertaking, to again visit the tn- stitute, wander about its extensive domain, and per- ceive the degree of mental culture which by pecuttar processes and patient effort has been imparted to those who by their great afflictions have been isola- ted from society and strangers ever within the bosoms of their own families. The society meeting was first held, when the fol- lowing business was transacted, Rev. Wm. Adams, D.

The Four Comuwissioners See Each Other Once Again, But Are Too Much Affected by the Circumstance to Vote Against One Another—The Compromise Rejected and One Side te Give In. The Police Commissioners are still muddled and utterly at @ loss how to get out of their present dii- culty, and, judging {rom present indications, they will remain muddied anti! Mr. Kennedy attempts to take the reins of power tuto his own hands and run the police machine as to him seems best. Mr. Smith, strange to say, paid a fying visit to the Central Oftice yesterday, remained in confab with his politica associate for about one-third of a quarter of an hour and then left, without even mention- ing the subject of the organization of the Board. The fact of the matter is he has so many things to attend to outside the Police Department that he evi- dently cares very little whether an organization ever takes place or not, although the income of a Police Commussionergdoes happen to be the insignificant sum of $13,500, As for Mr. Manierre, he relishes the dead lock in a Way that only a man of his stamp can relish @ good joke that hurts no person in particular and decreases no person’s salary a single nickle. Messrs. Bosworth and Brennan, however, appear to be very anxious about the situation and are strain- ing every nerve to bring things to an issue on the presidental question, and, of course, without the co-operation Of one of tie republican Commissioners, their eiforts will be of no avail whkiever. Whose particular duty it is to call a session of the Board seems also to be just now a@ rather mooted question, for notwithstanding the presence of ali tne Commis- sioners at headquarters at one time yesleraay, no session Was called, and a8 @ consequence no meeting of the Board was bad. Why this should have peeu is the affair of those most concerned; but there can be but little doubt that, with the Commissiouers in their present state of mind as to the election ol a president, no better successs would have atieaded the ballotiugs than there was on Saturday, had = the meeting taken place. The turn about system a8 @ compromise does not seem to take with any one of the Comuissioners, and, there- fore, the last hope of breaking the dead lock in a ag non-partisan Way, can be entertained no longer. As things now stand some one iwust give way for the good of the public service and sacriiice his persona! aspirations to the weilare of the depart- ment. That this person will not be one of the demo- crats is a foregone conolusion, aud that it should not be one of them every! who is acquainted with the beet of the Commission during the past few years and the length of tine the republicans have heid ‘the presidential chair will be but of one mind. Mr. Breunan, long before Mr. Acton had retired from the Police Board, endeavored to have his resignation as treasurer accepted, but the other members of the Commission would not hear oi it, on the grouud that his services in that capacity were entirely too vaiuabie to be lost. Stnce Mr, Actou’s retirement, however, his determination to be relieved from the wreasurer’s duties carries with it a great deal more than a mere desire to oY out of the harness tinposed by the siguing of checks and the tiresome perusal of columns of figures, for if, by any ingenuity, the repub- licans could make him \reasurer for another year, he would be completely thrown off the track as a candidate for tne presidential chair. 1t was, there- fore, with the view of sustaining Mr, Brennan as a candidaté for the chief position in the Board that his colleague, Judge Bosworth, who, while Mr. Acton was president, voted to retain him as treasurer, de- clined to support him for treasurer when the new Commissioner, Mr. Smith, came in and the question of an election for President came up for considera- von. Mr. Brennan, being thus strongly intrenched against all the approaches of the republican side of the house, will certainly not be the first to give way, and ove of the republicans must just as certainly come over to the democratic side before an organiza- tion will take piace. Mr. Manierre is already begin- ning to tre of the protracted struggle, and no doubt wouid like to see the fight ended in ap hon- Tavle way; that is to say, in @ way that will not em- broi! him with his party should he see fit to consult his better judgment and vote for the democratic candidate for president of the Board. ‘There 1s little hope of his hoisting the white fag himseif, however, but he will probably #o gct in a few days as vo con- vince Mr, Smith that the best way to get out of the muddie is to throw up the sponge and declare Mr. Brennan the winuer of the fight. An intimation like this will be suffictent for ‘Hank,’’ who 1s not over particular as to what bis party mav say aboucé him, and by changing his vote the whole struggie will be ended, aud everything will jog aiong as in the good old fashioned way. CHARITIES AND CORRECTION. Visit to the Industrial Schools on Hart's Island. Harv’s Is)and, situated just above the juncture of the East river and Long Isiand Sound, is by nature one of the best located spots for physical health that could well be found in the vicinity of New York, and, by the wise foresight of the Commissioners of Chart ties and Correction, has lately been trans- formed into a medium of improving the mental and moral health of the young scalawags of the metropolis. The Commis- sioners purchased the island from the original owner, to whom it reverted when the national gov- ernment relinquished it, with all the improvements which had been made thereon, for the sum of $75,000. They commenced at once to utilize it by the ald of laborers from the Workhouse and to inaugurate a system by which the subjects of crime and poverty may be separated while under their cnarge. They have already in successful opera- tion on Hart's Island an industrial school, to which boys are committed who are not old enough iu crime to be sent to the Penitenti- ary or Workhouse, and who may,by proper traintug be made useful to themsetves and to society at large. For the purpose of calling public attention more particularly to the new school the Comimis- sioners extenaed an invitation to the City Fatuers, members of the Legislature in the city an ®@ number of promment citizens to saccom- pany tiem yesterday, on board their new and splendid steariboat, the Minnahanonck, to visit the isiand and the sctool. It is almost needless to say that the invitation was largely responded to. The reputation of the gentlemen comprising the Board of Commissioners of Public Charities and Cor- Tection is such a8 to assure ali that the charities of the occasion would be dispensed in a correct manner. Among those present were Street Commissioner Me- Lean, Mr. Hitchman, Clerk of the Board of Bd tion; Assemblymen Tratnor, Campbell, Piunkett and Cavanagh; the Mayor's Marshal, Joseph H. Tooker; air. Lorin Ingersoll, of the Hoard of Education; Assistant Aldermen Hill and Retliy, ex Alderman McUinness, Messrs, O'Neill and McGrath, represent- ing the Police Justice’s Courts; Messrs. Moore, St. Joun, Losey, Van —, Demiit, Chancelior, Pyne, Corvell, Murphy, jaione, Van Der Beck, Duniey, Dunning, Claacey, ‘Herrick, Pentz, Gratuila, and a large Number of others repre: seating the oid citizens of New York, and the Officers of the Metropolitan Fire De ment. Shortly after eleven o'clock the some and well appointed Minnahanonck was taken tn hand by Captain Knapp and started from the Belle- vue Hospital dock with the guests on board. ‘The ests were cared for by Commissioners Nicholson, Bet and Brennan (who had left Commissioner Bowen to look after the business of the department), and under their fostering care all were Jed at the dock at mad: ly Hart’s Island in due time, The sail up the river, past the islands, on which the buntl ‘was liberally displayed, and out on the waters o1 the Sound was gs enjoyable aa beautiful weather, a pray Beh man: and well coppered craft, attentive hosts and cheerful, healthy and pars company could make it. a jare’s Isiand, the company was received by she boys of the school, who were drawn up in line, a /a militaire, and ac- companied by the Kandail’s Island band, A grand march up to the parade ground, a review of the young cadets; speeches by @ lad of the industrial @chool; by @ young orator from Randall's Isiand; by Comm! er Bell; by Major McLeau, who made the boys’ mouths water by pictures and promises of strawberries; by Mr, Hitchman, on behalf of the State Legisiature and of public education.
