fe a eeeeeE—eEeee FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Fripay, July 9—€ P. M. ‘The relaxation of the money market to-day was, ‘a5 expected, the consequence of the determination of Secretary Boutwell to reduce his currency bal- ance. The gravitation of the interest rate to legal figures was, of course, assisted by the fears of the money lenders who have begun to entertain lively apprehensions for the result of the salutary investi- gation now in progress by the District Attorney. We have the authority of that gentleman for stating that certain parties, whose names are withheld for the present, have been indicted by the Grand Jury, but their arrest is not yet ordered. The prevailing rates on call were seven per cent currency and seven per cent gold, the latter being construed as legal and “so generally recognized. In some rare instances where it could be safely done, and where the borrowers were deemed to be entirely worthy of confidence, as high as a thirty-second and interest was paid. Much uneasi- negs was felt as to the parties implicated In the in- dictment for usury, but no names were definitely connected with the charge. ‘The changed aspect of the general money market induced @ better inquiry for commercial paper, but rates were hardly lower. Sales of prime mercantile notes were made at eleven to twelve per cent dis- count, although holders were not offering much at higher figures than ten. The effect of the relaxation in rates on call bas not been fully felt to-day, and lenders are cautious about dealing in paper, fearing somé emergency which may enable thgm to do bet- ter in demand loans. Prime bankers’ paper, run- ning sixty days, is quoted at about nine per cent dis- count. Foreign exchange was steady but inactive. The choicest sterling bills at sixty days are held at 110, ‘the easier state of the money keeping the quotation firm. The range of sight bills was from 110% a 110%. The circumstances of the government purchases Of bonds to-day suggest a modification of the man- ner of conducting them which will be to the pecu- niary benefit of the Treasury. The prices to-day Were, on an average, higher than the market prices for the issues bought. The generosity of the govern- ment in redeeming its obligations should not be thus abused. Of the $3,000,000 only $1,500,000 were got at the market price. The balance had to be taken nearly @ half per cent higher. The rea- fon of this is the large amount called for by the advertisement. It would be better to distribute the purchases over three days. ‘The competition between sellers would then be greater and the government the gainer. Under the Plan of to-day the spevulators, knowing that the market is not over abundantly supplied with bonds, put up the price in their proposals in the expecta- tion that the government would be under the neces- amity of buying from them in order to make up the total $3,000,000. As to the money market, the effect would be the same, Wall street always dis- counts the future, and money would be just as easy 4f the currency for the bonds came out by instal- ments, The award for the $2,000,000 was made in the following lots at the prices specified:— $14,800 1848 coup. at 117.20 230,000 1867 coup. at 117.50 160,000 1867 coup. at 117.2 40,009 1882 reg. at 116.96 60,000 1884 coup, at 117.2 16,000 1862 reg. 20,000 1568 co.

The advance was quite noticeable in the afternoon transactions when ‘tho prices paid by the government became generally known. The '67’s sold at 1175, which, considering they are recently ex-coupon, is equivalent to a quo- tation of 121% on the 30th of June last. The '62’s were strong, but less buoyant than the domestic Donds, the London price coming at 8134 a 81%—a Fractional yielding.

Southern securities were heavy and lower, the ‘weakness being most perceptible in the new North ‘Carolinas, which continuing their downward move- fment sold at 45. The exceptions were the Ten- ‘mesgees, which were steady, and the South Caro- inas, which were stronger.

After the decline to 135% a reaction was produced ‘Dy reports that the Pereire has $700,000 and the City tof Paris $270,000 engaged for shipment to Europe to- Morrow.

It fs not the first time stocks have acted in this illogical ‘way. The secret of it is that those who have been @arrying through gq tight money market are appre- henstve of a recurrence of high rates of interest and @re willing to sell, They therefore give the market just as much stock as the easier condition of money calls for, and hence an equilibrium such as ‘witnessed to-day. The Vanderbilt shares were active and underwent the widest fnctuations. The other feavares in the railway list were Lake Shore (Michigan Southern), Rock Island, Reading, Pitts- burg and the Northwestern shares. The St. Paul stocks were buoyant and advanced, Pacific Mail ‘was the feature of the miscellaneous list. In express Stocks there was a further “break” in Wells- Fargo to 22, succeeded by @ reaction to 23, Itis curious that just at this moment the story is started that anew express company has been organized in San Fran- cisco to ran between that city and New York over the Pacific Ratiroad, This intellgence, added to the Btatemont made some time ago that the contract with Wells, Fargo & Co, would not be renewed, would have the effect above seen upon the stock, The question is asked, “Is the new company and the other plece of intelli- Pence a hittle dodge on the part of stock specu- lators, er ia tt really true!” Adams Express was firmer, because at the recent meeting of the old stockholders @ committee was appointed to protest Against the sale of two-thirds Interest of the Adams Jn the Southern Express Company, it being rumored that the Southern express stock 18 to be sold. at fit } geen centa on the dollar.

Cross, deceased. The officer Who arrested Dunn was put on the stand and testi- fled that at the time of his arrest the papers in ques- tion were in the possession of Griffin. Griffin was puton the stand to testify in his own behalf, and stated that he was by profession a gambier, or, more strictly speaking, as he said, a thiel. He had been a tmef for about ten years past. The box contammg the papers were-given him by another person to take to a certain place, with the remark that the person giving it to him wouid be there soon.

The revelations elicited on this in- vestigation are the reverse of creditable to the “ring”? Which governs the city of Hoboken and con- trives to cover the defalcations of its pets. It was only when the Supreme Oourt realized the ity ©? tye charges against the com- mission, and the apparent hopelessness of a just conclusion on the part of the investigation com- mittee that the order was issued. Affidavits have been lodged in the Supreme Court setting forth new charges agains the members of the com- mission.

Convicts Roaming at Large—A Lady Brutally Assaulted by One of Them. Since the present authorities at Sing Sing Prisom have been in charge of that institution the pubiic, perhaps in a degree greater than ever before, haa been wearied with the too frequent repetition of revolta, escapes and other matters of a like nature among the convicts. The goation might pertinently be asked, why this is? ‘he answer cannot be that the prisom is more crowded with inmates now than {t waa two years since, for such is not the case. Nor can it be offered in extenuation that the number of guards and keepers has been decreased, when the contrary is the fact. While it ia generally believed, and with cause, that many of the newly appointed men among the latter are wholly unfitted for their positions. This does not exonerote those higher in authority at the prison from a large por- tion of the culpability which attaches itself to the present disordered state of affairs in their midst. The last evidence in su; of the latter charge is that of a brutal assault perpetrated on a lady of respectability, by a negro convict named George Hi. Peterson, who, through some means, was al- lowed to leave the prison. This lady, im her statement, which is worthy of credence, says that on July 5, while visiting a friend in that vicinity, she was accosted by the convict Peterson, who, under the influence of liquor, made an indecent proposition to her, which she indignantly repelled; that on this the negro attacked her, tearing her clothes, beating and kicking her brutally in the face and body, disiguring her @ shocking ner. She further states that on relating her grievance to the olMicers of the prison she waa Dromuised no redress, but hare ernie advised to keep the matter quiet, It not transpired how any convicts were permitted to celebrate the ni tional holiday outside of the prison, but certainly @ white convict was given temporary Levan 6 on the occasion, and he, when questioned about being at Jarge, it is stated, promptly replied that he had been furnished with a pass. razor, used itin a manner to the death of his victim, THREE PRRSONS AND TWO HoRSES KILLED BY THE EXPLOSION OF AN ANVIL.—There was a terrible a cident at Prairie City, on the Valley road, yesterday.
