COURT OF OYER AND TERMINEA, Jones, the Alleged Bond Forger. Before Judge Barnard, The adjourned motion on the habeas corpus in the ‘ease of Frank Jones came up yesterday. Jones is imprisoned under a charge of forging two bonds of $1,000 each of the Atlantic and Great Western Rail- road Company, and also with forging the endorse- mentof Jay Gould on the back of the bonds as Guarantor of the Erle Railroad Company. Coun- sel moved for the prisoner's diseh: on the ground that no forgery was committed, the officers of the Atlantic and Great Western Company making an aMdavit that though the bonds alle to have been counterfetted were printed, they had never been issued, and were no charge either the Great Western orErie company. Al that even if the original bonds were of any value the al.eged forgeries were incomplete in being without elther geal or stamp, and therefore did not bring the act withty the criminal statute. Jadge Barnard thought that, even admitting the statement of counsel to be correct, the prisoner was sul guilty of a misdemeanor in attempting to obtain money by @ false token. He would, however, reduce the amount of bat! to $2,000 In the case of Joues and ‘also of his alleged accompiice, Riggs. The writ was dismissed and the prisouer remanded. The court then adjourned tiil this morning. SUPREME GOURT—SPECIAL TEAM. How an Attachment Question May be De- a, cided. Before Judge Barnard. Barnet Bildersee.et. al. vs. Joseph Aden and Julius Sarner.—The plaintiifs obtained’ an attachment in an action against Mrs. Boxius; the defendant there- after fled an undertaking to discharge the attach- ment in pursuance of section 241 of the Code; afterwards the defendant moved to discharge the attachment upon affidavits, which was get The plaintuf finally recovered judgment. ‘he plaintiff then sued the bondsmen on the above-mentioned undertaking, and an answer was interposed thas tne attachment had been discharged on motion, and therefore, as matter of law, the un- wer age ingranam rendered mauginesy fee ats nige Ingraham rende judgment for the Piaintiq in the tollowing opinion:— ‘The answer in this case merely alleges that, the attachment hai teen vacated and discharged.

COMMON PLEAS—TRIAL TERM—PART L Marine Insurance Case. Before Judge Van Brunt and a Jury. Richard A. Alemson etal. vs. Great Western In- surance Company.—This was an action to recover for the value of ninety bales of cotton, shipped un- der an open policy from Augusta, Ga., to Liverpool by way of Charleston, 8, C, The cotton was in Octo- her, 1866, shit; at Augusta, Ga., by the South Car- olina Railroad, and there reship on board the bark Victoria, ninety bales of the amount being gtowed on deck, instead of below. It appeared in testimony, that both defendant and plaintiffs were ignorant of the cotton having been stowed onAcck, but that the agent or some person representii poe remonstrated against its being xo stow hile at sea, in heavy weather, the captain was obliged to throw the ninety baies on deck over- board, in order to save his ship, The testimony being in, counsel for defeadant moved to dismiss the complaint, on the ground that the fact of the captain having stowed the cotton on deck did not constitute barratry, nor did a loss resuiting there from make the company liable.

NEW YURK HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1870—TRIPLE SHEET. STORM IN PHILADELPHIA. | FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, age WALt Srnerr, Monpay, May 9—6 P, u.} The members of the Stock Exchange held their “ANNUAL ELECTION to-day for officers of the board. The polis were open from ten A. M. to two P, M., during which time there ‘Was an active.canvass on the part of the friends of the rival tickets, known as the “regular” and ‘“‘oppo- sition.” The ballots were so scratched that the full Tesult'1s not yet known, the inspectors having ad- Journed without completing the count of the votes for the governing committee, but the full result will be: known and announced to-morrow. At the ad- journment of the session of the inspectors the vote Thad been canvassed for all the officers except the governing ¢gmmittee. ‘The total votes cast were 786, resulting in the choice of the “opposition” candi- dates following: — Prestdent—William Seymour.

The name of Mr. Wheelock was on both tickets, That gentleman is therefore unanimously re-elected to the position which he has so long popularly occu- He caate THE MONEY MARKET. The feature on which ninges the present active speculation at the Stock Exchange is the continued great ease in the money market. The banks are overwhelmed with deposits of national bank notes, reflecting the Now of money from the country to the metropolis, which is the only place where it can now be employed at interest. To-day it was almost a Grug, and the banks, in their desire to utilze the large balances now on deposit with them, were offering these notes, free of interest, for fiveto ten days, on conuttion that the equivalent should be returned in greenbacks. The leading government dealers were accommodated on call at three to four per cent, and the stock houses at five per cent. The increased values at the Stock Exchange and the enlarged volume of business ‘seem inca- Pable of keeping up with the supply of money avail- able for call loans, The plethora of money in the city has seldom been equalled, and inspired new courage on the part of certain operators, who hosi- + tated about purchasing at the present advanced prices, In the discount market the lowering of the rate on call led to more currency for paper, and prime double acceptances were readily salable at 81x to Seven per cent. The season of. the year is not favorable to an abundant supply of paper, and hence the demand has not much of a stock to select from. Foreign excliange was firm, onthe basis of 109% a 10934 for prime bankers’ sixty day sterling, and 1097 a 110 for sight bills, THE GOLD MARKET DULL. The Gold Room exhibited still more visibly the cessation of the speculative feeling, or rather the diversion of it to other flelds of operation. Under a revival of the Funding bill story the price declined to 114%, the highest pricehaving been 114%, which was the answer to the continued firmness of the foreign exchange market. On tne intelligence that Congress had adjourned over the day without touch- ing the Funding pill the price reacted to 114%, the market closing steaty and dull. The absence of speculative feeling was further shown in’ the carry- ing rate, which was parallel with the rate for money in the open market. The course of the price is shown In the following table:— 10 A. M. 10:54 A, M. 1148 1LA. M . iia 3P. M. 3 «+ 114% =8:30 P.M... lla 4P. M. 114%, 5:30 P. M. Holders of gold paid four to five per cent to have their-balances carried. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows:— Gold cleared Gold balances, Currency balances. GOVERNMENTS STRONG AND ACTIVE. + ++ $30,846,000 veseeee 1,815,004 ‘The low rates for money on call and the expecta- tion of @ sharp advance in government securities led a strong and active market for the latter, the purchasers being for the most part capitalists and moneyed corporations seeking higher rates of in- terest than those attainable in the street with the present plethora of money. The demand for some days past has been from this class of buyers, the speculative operators preferring the greater fiuc- tuations in the railway lst. The 67s, in final street dealings, sold freely at 113%, the market closing strong, with the following quotations:—United States currency sixes, 112% @ 1125; do. sixes, 1881, regis- tered, 11644 8 11614; do. do., coupon, 11634 @ 116%; do. five-twenties, registered, May: and November, 1105 @ 110%; do. do., 1862, coupon, do, 111% @112; do. do., 1864, do. do., 110% @ 111; do. do., 1865, do. do., 110% 011134; do, do., 1865, do., January and July, 11334 @ 113%; do, do., 1867, do. do., 1185 @ 118%; do. do., 1868, do. do., 118% a 113%; do. do, ten-forties, registered, 106) a 107; do, do., coupon, 10734 @ 108, THE STOCK MARKET. The stock market was unsettled and weak at the opening, being led by a decline in Laxe Shoreto99}4, he clique haying sold out to buy Wabash, which latter accordingly advanced to 5814, The decline in Lake Shore would doubtless have been more serions had it not been stayed by large purchases repre- sented to be on account of the old Erie elique, wo were also the purchasers of the stock when the Vanderbiit party sold out from 95 to 99 last week. The Erie party having found themselves saddled with the load, in sustaining which they are assisted by the outside public, who were induced to come in when the original clique went out, are casting avout to get rid of it, and to-day “washed” the price up to 101, the reputed purchaser at this figure being an operator Who sold 40,000 shares last week below 99, and was theretore not likely to be buying afresh at the advanced quotations, Moteover, the money market and the last bank statement are so favorable to higher prices that in the reaction succeed- Ing the decitne in Lake Shore, and upon: the denial of the report that the House would adopt the Senate Funding bill, the “bulls” took a different course from realization and again enlisted for a fresh “bull” campaign. The result was a still fur- ther remarkable rise in the Vanderbilt stocks, North- west, St.Paul, Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi and Rock Island, The market reacted at the close from the highest prices, Lake Shore again showing weak- ness and declining to 99%. Erie was the special weak spot, owing to a lower quotation in London.
