Gold Off to 109 7-8, Closing 110—Gold Checks to Pass Through the Clear- ing House in Future. Stocks Quiet acd Heavy—Pacific Mail Advane- ing—Erie Looking to Albany. WALL STREET, THURSDAY, Feb, 29-6 P. } On ‘Change to-day wheat was dul and heavy, ‘The cotton market was weak and lower, MONEY EASIER. ‘The money market was active early in the day, ‘when the «ieaiings on stocks were at seven gold to 1-32 percent, the latter rate being paid in addition legal inverest. Among the government hoases the rate ws [ull seven per cent currency. Toward two o'clock there was a sensibic moderation of the demand, as @ consequence of the pretty eager supplying of wants ‘n the lorenoon, and before tree o'clock the rate bad declined to five per ceut, which was meiely a quotadon however, ‘ie amount neede! aicr half-past two O'clock having been trifling owinz to we prompt Making up of accounts agalust an apprehended “squeeze."’ It wilibe rememberet that we have now nad three days of high rates for money. This Interval has given ample opportunity for tue trans- mission of money to this city from other cities, ‘where the inquiry has been less active; hence, un- doubtedly, tne better supply of funds to-day, ale ‘though a strong effort was made to keep the sem- Dlance of sirtngency, Prime commercial paper, en- dorsed, ts quoted 7 @ 83g per cent discount and des active. GOLD CHEOKS AND GOLD CI.EARANCES, The committee appointed by the Clearing House to perfect arrangements for an exchange and clear- ance of sold checks similar to the process used in the case of ordinary checks, have agreed upon @ plan therefor, and the new arrangement, whtch will be a great accommodation to the numerous merchants having trapsactious in gold, 13 officially announced by Mr. Camp, the Manager of the Ulear- Ang House, in the following circular to the banks:, The exchanging of gotd checks through the Clear- ing House will commence on Frigay morning, Marchi. You will please arrange yuur gold checks: in @ separate envelope, legibly stumped ‘Gold,’ listed in red ink, in the same manner as your cur. rency exchanges. Enter the amounis to the second column of your runner’s stateinents, or receipts, 12 ed ink, delivering the gold exchanges at the Clear- ing House at the same time with the other ex- ol A separate settling clerk’s statement must aiso be prepared, the blanks for which will be furnished you. The uebtor banks will pay as early after the prvof is made as possibie, ana wader tio clr- cumstances later than hail-past twelve o’ciock. The creditor banks will receive their credit bal- ances as soon thereaiter as the amounts can be made up. DECLINE IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE. The pressure of sterling bills out of second hands has forced the leading bankers to lower their rates, whioh they have reduced to 109% Jor sixty day and 1103¢ for sizht drafts on London. ‘These figures are mominai, however, the real business naving been 5 @ lower. The demand for foreign exchange, as may be inferred from these tacts, is quite light, a feeling existing among remitters tnat a peeceful ad- fJustment of the Alabama question will operate against the usual summer rise. GOLD LOWER—110% 4 109%. The cable bringing a sudden improvement of 1 per cent m United States bonds in London to-day, gold opened weak at 1101; and gradually declined to 109%, 2 movement helped by the heaviness of the toreigu exchanges. Subsequently, on the re- laxation in the money market, there was a better Inquiry, and as cash gold became very scarce be- fore the ciose of banking hours, tie price rallied to 11034, but settled back to and ciosed at 110, The course of ie market 1s shown in the iable:— 10% 2 P.M. 12M. 12:36 P.M.

THK GOVERNMENT PURCHASE OF BONDS.

GOVERNMENTS QUIET. ‘The government list was quiet and, considering the decline in gold and large offerings at the Sub- Treasury, steady.

The excellent litle joke which the more jovial members of the Stock Exchange indulged in with reference to the proposed “holiday on March 17" has had more victims than at first supposed, tor last in its traincome the several opaque and atra- wilious gentlemen who pretend to discuss finance for the public in some of our morning jour- nals, Such departures from the strict rule of bust- messin the Stock Exchange are not infrequent in that institution, and are conducive to longevity and good health, The HERALD, faith! to its mission as the great newspaper of the day and reflector of all that 1s grave or gay, lively or severe in the ‘world, reproduced the facts trutnfally when, amid its financial record, !t embodied the transcript of this incident, and thereby gave to the public, as it does from day to day, a more correct Picture of life at the Stock Exchange than do the dozen catchpenny books about ‘Men and Things in Wall Sireet,” &c. For the few dullards whom ‘we have stirred into temporary animation we pub- Ush the following: Crry AND County or Naw Yorks, #6.--J. F. Phillips ‘of the firm of F, B.

The Disease in the Streets, ‘The traportation of the smalipox from neighbor- to be hoped Governor Hoffman wili take some | decisive steps to arrest te Mood of eases into this | city that has been inundating it for some time, when the Board of Health shell have taid the papers before him relating to the matier. Last week the Commissioners of Charities and Correction complataed to the Board of ilealth that some om- cials at New Brunswick, N, J., had sent a boy directly to New York who was suffering terribly from this loatusome disease, and they asked tne Board to take SOME IMMEDIATE ACTION to stop the further influx of patients, Yesierday aiternoon a man named John Keys was found on the corner of Chambers and Centre sireets by Cap- | tain Kennedy, of the sixtu precinct, who was covered ; allover with the filiny virus, ‘Tnts ian told Cap- tain Kennedy he had no home, and there can be no doubt but that he was seat to New York irom some muna Village Where the rustics Were alarmed at the disease thal had attacked the poor feliow. In New York the man caa be properly cared (or and so treated that ne will recover troim the sickness, but iis A PRIGHTPUL EXPOSURE of the health of tue people to ding a disease like sinalipox inio the* public streets, more especially Where there are so many filthy channels to convey | it to the homes of the poorest ciasses, who always suffer the most trom epideinics. ‘Tne street cars are ® most fruittul source of contagion, and transmit infection to ail classes, The presen: condition of Uhe streets Only tends to make the cars still more forcible in dealing out death, and the immense masses of manure that now encumber the east and west sides of the city make up an ap- Dropriate cliunax to the universal dirt, diseases and We vermin. As may be seen by the report in the HERALD of yesterday, on one line of cars the straw is Changed every day, the cushions takeu out atuight and beaten, and such other precauuons are taken that tae cars are comparatively clean, but in others the damp, dirty straw ts allowed to re- main for weeks aud the cusdions and backs are never disturbed witu any cleaning apparatus, It 1s to be hoped wwe Buard of health will continue the work begun by Commissioner Barr, and then tf cuolera should come with tne warm Weather the city would be in a condition to cope with the dis- ease. The Result of Removing a Smallpox Patient from His Home. Mrs. Mary I. Remsen, a widow, of Brooklyn, has brought a suit against the Board of Health, Health OMcer Cochran and Isaac Van Riper, to recover $10,000 damages. It seems that early in January, 1871, her son Richard, a young man about twenty years Of age, was prostrated by the smallpox, at their house, No. 56 North Portland avenue. The case becoming known at the Health ofice Dr, Cochran ordered Van Riper to remove the young man to the hospital at Flatoush, Young Remsen was taken there, and on the 13th of January died. Mrs. Remsen claims that she was partially dependent on her son for support, When he was prostrated he Was well cared for at home; after being taken from the house he was put in @ wagon and exposed to the cola weather tor several hours, ra, Remsen furiher states that she was noi allowed to see him until after he died. She brings this suit to recover for the loss of her sou’s services, &c., and claims damages in the sum ol $19,000, Corporation Counsel Willtam C. De Witt, for the defence, yesterday interposed a demurrer to the complaint, and tne case was argued beiore Justive Gilbert. Mr, De Witt contended that if there were any responsibility or ltability it rested on the city. The Board oi Health was merely a de- partment of the city vovernmeut, He tarthermore contended that in the case ol the death of a child the parent could not now bring suis vo recover tor loss of services, as by the statute the next of kin had the right to bring an action for damages, tbe sum not to exceed $5.00). Another ground taken by counsellor De Witt was tiat tne complaint did not set forth that the fatuer was dead, and in such @ case an action could not be brought by the mother. Decision reserved. STREET CARS. The Filthy Straw and the Intected Cushions. The resolution introduéed before the Board of Health by Commissioner Barr, asking for an inspec Uon of the street cars all over the city, has already produced some good results, The Third avenue | line sent word yesterday to the Health Department that the company intended to forbid the use of straw in future 1n the cars, aud they would also re- move the filthy cusmonsas speedily as possible, Promises, 01 course, are very good in their way, but they are not enough at tne present moment, when the city is teeming with dirt, The City Sani- tary Inspecior says that THB STRAW USED IN THE STREET CARS is @ most fruitiul generator of disease, but, ne also adds, to remove the straw aud leave the cushions and backs 1s absolutely only doing half the work. ‘rhe Toird aveuue line 18 the most extensively used in the city, and the company should be more than ordinarily caretul of the health of the passengers who travel in their cars. ‘Ihe inspectors who exam- ined the street cars not only complaia of tne straw, the seats and backs, but of THE VENTILATION AND OVERCROWDING, People are nuddied into these conveyances like bags Of salt, without any hope of getung @ breath of wholesome air, and the result is that numbers of them contract diseases that leaa them to ine rave, itis the intention of the Commissioner to ring the matter again before the Board of Health, and if the companies of the different ratiroads in the city do not take steps to improve the cars an order Will be made by the Hoard compelling them to make such alterations in the venicies as will imsure the comtort and health ol passengers, Since the matter has been agitaved by the HeraLp great ex- citement prevails among the traveling public. Many persons complain that the cross town lines are So filthy and fail of vermin that the passengers leaving them to go up ana down town by other cars carry with tiem any vermin or contagion with which they may have come in contact.
