BEC. 54. The foregoing rules and regulations will be in force and go 1nto effect on the lat day of June, 137], on and after which time the provisions of chapter for, part five, articles ifty-three to seventy- nine, inclusive, of the rev.sed warehouse regula tions of Uctober 30, 1368, and the additional regula- tons, amendatory ther of February 6, 1869, and all previous reguiations and instructions inconsis- tent with the provisions of the preceding reguia- tions, are hereby superseded and annulled. Such blanks as are required under the new regula- tions for the use of the government will be imme- diately prepared at te Government Printing Ofice in this city and forwarded to tho different custom Nouses throughout the country. These new regula- tions have been issued to remedy existing evils in the administration of the warehouse and trans- portation laws and insure greater safety to the government inthe collection of its revenue, Under the present system bonded gcods were delivered to the party at the port of withdrawal and in many cases went into the hands of consignees instead of the Collector of the Port, ana cases have occurred in which rewarehousing entries have been made and the usual three years bond given for the duties, the goods being in the possession of the consignee, who thus obtained an undue credit for duties and subiected the government to loss and liability to evasion of the customs laws. Under the old provisions there were many delays and expenses on goods intenaed for Immediate transportation that are obviated by the provisions of section forty-five of the new regu- lations, above quoted, which provide that all heavy articles paying specific duties and too large to be welghed and examined in the vessel or on the wharf are to be removed to the car or vessel in which the same are to be trans- ported as fast as the same are weighdd, gauged or examined, ‘The new regulations are intended to better protect the revenue, while at the same time many additional facilities are aiforded to merchants for the transaction of busihess and the speedy de- lvery of goods in bond to the collector at the port of destination, A BROOKLYN “BUIMER” BURNED. Evil Effects of TntemperancemA_ Practical Lecture. Thealarm of fire was given shortly before two o'clock yesterday morning, and the Fire Department, lending a prompt response to the summons, has- tened te the scene of conflagration, which proyed to beasmaliframe house m the rear of a liquor store, 405 DeKalb avenue, near Schenck street. The flames communicated to a building adjoining, dam- aging the latter, owned by John Sharkoy, to the ext. ntor $200, When the structure in which the fire originated had been levelicd the Mremen dia- covered the charred remains of a man among the acbris, The body found proved to be that ofan un- fortunate lounger about the whiskey store of Ed- ward Kelly, feos babe of the place 405 DeKalb ave- nue, named McGowan, p+ Kelly testifled before the Fire Marshal that leceased was at bis store when he (witness) retired * the night, shortly after twelve o'clock.

The billet ts not regarded ag @ very agreeable on’ by the poilce, and the mandate summoning them to put in an appearance atthe Central Office was not relished. They contended that there were warrants to be served at that hour im the*day and other business wnich would oc- cupy their time more pleasantly. Yesterday Mornivg about twenty-five persons charged with various oifences, Varying from intoxication to burglary, were brought to Justice Delmar’s court, and locked up in the wooden cage or enclosure, in that soermest to await & final disposition of their cases, ‘Ihe police who had conducted the prisoners to the court, a3 well as the regular officers attached thereto, were all absent at ten o'clock.

The.continued refusal of the Treasury Department to pay out other than the smaller denommations of gold coin upon the presentation of gold certificates bas led to another advance in foreign exchange, especially as the supply of commercial bilis on the market 18 quite limited. The bankers’ rates are now nearly one-half per cent higher than what they would be were the Treasury willing-to pay out double eagles. The reason of this difference lies in the fact that the small colns such as the one dollar, two and @ half dollar and five dollar pieces, are found, upon close weighing, to lack about one-half per cent (in' money value) of their standard weight, the loss being due to the wear-and tear of the metal during its employment a8 circulating medium. Twenty dollars in one piece of metal does not unvergo tho same amount Of attrition as if divided up into several small coins, for the reason that in the first place it 1s more care- fully handled, and in the second presents less sur- face to the wearing process of its interchange as money. In other words, it has been found that twenty of our single dollar gold pieces, when melted up, would be worth only about $19 90, And yet our gold coin has beon virtually outof circulation for nearly ten years, It would be ourlous to speculate how much of it would have been depreciated had it been going the rounds of people’s pockets ever since. The merchants are, very naturally, quite indignant atthe action of the Treasury authorities in refusing to pay out the full Standard value of gold cailed for by the figures printed upon each Treasury certificate. The dispute is also an interesting one in view of the question whether the public are not entitied to such ull value, and @ case mizht be made up for the opinion ofsome of our great constitutional lawyers. It is true that the Treasury issued we certificates upon the deposit of all denominations of colin; but it would seem to be the duty of tne Treasury Department in cashing the certificates to pay out the full quantity’ of gold called for by them, Under these circumstances tho rates for foreign exchange rise in inverse ratio as the Treasury payments descend into the smaller de- nominations. The following were the quotations at the close of business:—Sterling, sixty days, commer- celal, 109% a 11014; good to prime bankers’, 110% a 110%; short sight. 110% a 110%; Antwerp, 5.18% a 6.13%: Switzerland, 6.16% 06.13%; Hamburg, 36a 36%; Amsterdam, 40% a 41; Frankfort, 40% a 41; Bremen, 79 & 7934; Prussian thalers, 71% a 72. MONEY EASIER. The money market was easier and loans on stock coliaterals were quite evenly distributed at four and five per cent. On governments the rates were-three and four per cent. Prime commercial paper is comparatively scarce and in fair request at six per cont discount. GOLD FIRM—LLL!¢ A 11134, The gold market was firm and the bu'ik of busi- ness was done at a slight advance in price, although the actual extremes of the market were the same ason the day previous. The higher rates of ex- change bad their influence upon the market by sympathy only, gold contracts being capable of set- tlement with Treasury certiflcated, ‘The ductuations of the day are shown in the table:— 10 A M, a ee MS bes P.M. ILA, Moves 11g AM. N1ig Tt Me In the gold loan market the rates ranged from two per cent for carrying to flat for borrowing.

TAB TREASURY BALANCES.» The following wore the Treasury balances at the close of business to-day:—Currency, $9,617,000; coin, $98,237,000; the outstanding coln certilicates amount to $19,877,000, GOVERNMENTS FIRM. ‘The government list begins to show a variation in the prices of the different issues, graded upon the remoteness of redemption by the government now that tho government refuses to pay more than par in gold for such as are bought at tne Sub-Treasury each woek.

STOCKS MORE ACTIVE, BUT IRREGULAR, The business at the Stock Exchange showed con- siderable improvement in the way of activity, now that the brqsers have become more accustomed to their new quarters, although the facilities are still hardly as satisfactory as they might be. There was also a freer speculative disposition shown on the part of the street and quite a vigorous movement was begun, or revived, rather, in the leading favorites, Prices early in the day showed a tendency to advance under this return of animation, and in the case of Union Pacific heavy transactions attended a rise of one per cent. Later on, the mercurial Pittsburg oroke to 124 on the circulation of petition asking the Governor of Ohio to call a special session (sic) of the Ohio Legislature to pass an act to authorize the Cleveland and Pittsburg Ratiread Company to increase their capital stock 5v per cent, So presumptuous or so sily » document naturally cast the stock into ridi- cule, despite the fact that the signatures appended were those of men supposed ordinarily to have their wits about them. Tho street, not knowing how to interpret the matter, and taking it asa aign, at least, that the long anticipated scrip dtvidend had but slim chances of smmediats realization if dependent upon the sanction of an extra session of the Ohio Legislature, began to drop the stock, which was taken up by somebody, however, thereby creating the suspicton that the document Was a trap to induce @ short Intorest, as well as to disgust smalier holders into selling. The heatheft Chinee 1s evidently maamuvring some- where in the vicinity of Pitsburg, but for what par- pose those who would kuow must be content to wait and learn. The outside interest ls pecullarly sensi- tive just now as to the course the mar- ket will take, especially as in many in- stances” an advance would be purely specu. lative and devoid of whe basis of Jntrinsic merit. Under these circumstances the revived movement on the “bull” aide takes the a: of operating in th@jow priced shares, 9 fall in which would ot be ikely to do much damage. It was doubdtiess this feeling that caused so much of a run to-day on the inexpensive Boston, Hartford and Erie, although ‘they say’ that the signing of the Poughkeepsle Bridge bill by tho “Governor was one reason for the more cheerful views of tho street a3 to the future of the company, because the enterprise referred to will counect the road with the Erte across the Hudson. “They sald” also that the decision of the United States Court making the holders of the Burdell bonds the assignees of the’road—stockholders and bondhold- era being to a great oxtent identical—was the real reason of the rise in the stock, which advanced Trom 2% to 3, falling back to 2% and closing 2%. Otherwise tho market was actively unsettled and new campaign, the a fivent of witch will not sur- prise those who know the clique tactics.
