The trial of those of- fendera who live in brooklyn will begin in tho FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Tuvaspay, August 12-6 P. M. ‘The daring dceds of their mighty chief and patron in the Valley of the Susquehanna appear to bave shamed the beara ox Wail street out of the sluggish Indolence which hag of late characterized them whem compared with the remarkable activity they 60 often exhibited under the ingptration of Erte’a great ruler, For some time now they have givea but few and faint signs of their presence in the inarket, and inat- ters have long been suifered to drift along uder bull control upon an undisturbed, if not powerlul, cur- rent Of appreciation, without check or Winderance from these constitutional opponents, who seemed to have grown weak and spiritiess, exbtbiling, Instead of their former energy, laswitude aud indigerence, conditions certainly natural cnough during the heated term, but lasting longer than that explanation serves sumecientay to account for. All this, however, is now changed, Yesterday there were some sigué of awakening, aud@in more than one of the markets there wore given indications of the severe raid wiuch was the distingnishiog fea- ture of operations to-day. The attack was made early and in auch force by the beara, and under such favorable conditions, as to be at chce a pronounced success, the bulla, taken by surprise and wishout any concert of action, making but feeble. resistance. The gold premium, prices of governments and Stooks, all gave way before them, and for the greater part of the day they ruled. supreme over the markets, controlling their temper and giving color and direc- tion to the trausactious. In the afternoon, whother Wearied out with their labors or gatisiied with the success they had obtained, they relaxed their efforts, when the bulls, taking courage from this pause on the part of the raiders, entered more stoutly into the fight, which, producing a reaction and gaining them the support of many who bad-healtated to.take sides with them while they were being beaten, enabled them before night to regain much, if not all, of the ground lost earlier in the day, ‘The ball opened thia morning in the Gold Room, where the first sales were made at 13554. By per- sistent hammering and iree speculative sales, based upon the assumption of early and large returns-of the cotton and grain crops, the premium was rapidly forced down through the several figures and frac- tional quotations to 134, which it touched about one o'clock, From this it rallied, on purchases made to cover the short sales of the morning, to 13434, talling off again to 134, aad fuctuating for some time between that figure and 13474, at which it stood upon the formal closing of the room. Subsequently it ranged between 34 and %{ until five o’clook, when, in the generally improved status of the bulls, It stood 134%. The putting out and covering of the short interest is exhibited by the rates paid for carrying, which early in the day were as low as 434 per cent, and rangea to 6} during the morning hours. In the afternoon 7 per ocnt was paid. ‘he dealings of tne Gold Exchange Bank show an in- crease of the recent average day’s transactions, as follows:—Gross clearings, $71,613,000; gold balances, $2,871,553; currency balances, $3,224,101, The foliowing table shows the course of the mar- ket during the session of the Board, the closing price and the price at stated hours:— PM 1: 2 13434 13444 8 1 5 13434 The success met with in the Gold Room, aided by the feeling of weakness produced in the market yes- terday by the large offerings made the Treasury, rendered it an easy task for the bears to produces decline in the government market, which, in conse quence of these circumstances, opened weak and heavy at 4, to 1 per cent lower than the best prices of yesterday, At the noon call, the same influences continuing to operate, the market was still weak, and as compared with the morning call 62’s were offered at 34 less, 64’s and 67's }4,01d 65's $¢ and new 65's %. Regtstered 10-40’s were oiferea one per cent less, and the coupons 3s; currency bonds 3. ‘68's exhibited a better inquiry, without offerings. ‘The princtpal sellers were the stock Louses, which bought recently upon advance information of Mr. Boutwell’s programihe of Treasury dealings for August, now acting under an apparent great fear of being severely twiated by the government houses that they then outbid. In the iaterval to the last call the proposals submitted to the Assistant Treasurer, in response to his cail for $1,000,000 on account of the sinking fund, having been opened at noon and found to amount to only two and one quarter ‘militons ($2,258,800), the market became mucn firmer, and at the last cail reacted to nearly the opening figures, and continued steady during the rest of the day, closing firm at the following fgares:—Unitea Staves sixes, 1981, registerod, 123 a 123); do. do., coupon, 123 @ 1233; do. five-twenties, registered, 122}4 @ 122 ;do. do., coupon, 1862, 128% & 12376; do. do., coupon, 1864, 1223, a 122%; do. do., coupon, 1865, 12234 @ 122%; do. do., coupon, new, 1866, 121% a 12134; do.

With the exception of Rock fsland, which was comparatively strong during the day, all the fea- tures of the stock market were under control of tue bears from an early hour, The tn- definite character of the late movement in the Western shares and the absence of any sufficient reason of a reliable nature for their advance, rendered them of course peculiarly open to attack, all the glowing prospects presented in rumors of future consolidation or leases having nothing more substantial in them to give con- fidence to holders than the breath which gave them utterance, The Vanderbilt shares, on the other hand, were unsettled by the absence of any intelli- gence ad to the result of the deliver. ations at Saratoga, It waa reported that the terms of consolidation with Hudson were in a fair way of settiemont in @ few days; but as this information has been vouchsafed the street before It failed to produce any excivemeut, In addition to these bearish influences the sum of the dealings was not large, the average business these days being insumMcient of itself to give any par- ticular buoyancy to the market.
