MONEY SEVEN PER CENT. The money market was rather more active, owing ‘to the calling in of some loans by a couple of the banks, and the inquiry early'in the day was urgent’ enough to make seven per cent the lowest rate among the stock houses—the higher and pretty ire- ‘quent rate being seven percent coin. Seven per went was paid readily on government collaterals, although the larger dealers in this class of secuntics had balances leit with them at six. Just after two o'clock there was an easier feeling, and money was ‘offered at seven; but the activity set m again be- Yore three o’clock, and seven per cent was bid to the bloae, Commercial paper was steady, and quoted 7 a 834 cent discount for prime double names, Foreign exchange was quiet, and for sight bills firm, quotations closing on the basis of 1091; a 1003 for prime oankers’ sixty day sterling, and 110 11034 for sight bills. ‘ GOLD STEADY—110 A 11044. ‘The gold market, while steady in a general sense, the extreme fluctuation of the day having been nly one quarter of one per cent, was unsettled on ‘this narrow limit, and the price changed frequently Bers 110. and 11034, It would be difficult to as- ign special reasons for these little variations other Bhan the tenor of the foreign market for our five-twenties, which was strong enough to.allow the deciine to 110, but lost this influence when our ponds on this side moved up to a corresponding Jevel of prices, Tne fuctuating supply of cash gola had also something to do with the movement, while Roward the close an apprehension of the Treasury \disbursements to-morrow caused a weak feeling. course of the market 1s shown in the table:— +110 a 103g In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 5 cent for carrying to flat for borrowing, | he operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follow: Gold cleared. old balances . icy balances. GOVERNMENTS STRONG AND HIGHER. The government list caught something of the Dullish feeling prevailing on the Stock Exchange, | ‘and opened with firm feciing. By noon it was | portea that London was taking our securities | readily now that the Alabama matter was jing out of mind as asource of uneasiness, and improvement of 3 @ per cent in the foreign juotation verified the statement. This fact and the Continued steadiness in gold induced an aavance fully 4 per cent in most of the list, which was tty active for the 67's and the new five per feentg, and clused as follows:—Unitea States cur- Moy BIXes, 1144; 411434; do. sixes, 1881, registered, 11496 & 11434; do, do., coupon, 11544 @ 116%; do, flo, five-twentics, registered, May and November, 11% @ 1118;; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 11134 a 11. o., 1864, do. do., 11134 2 1115,; do. do., 1865, Po. do., 112% 9 112%; do, do,, 1867, registered, Janu- Bry and July, 11134 @ 11134; do. do., 1865, coupon, $40., 110% a 111; do. do., 1867, do. do,, 11234 a112%4; | lo. do., 1868, do. do., 112}¢ a 1125;; do. fives of | funded, registered, 108% a 109; do, do. do., pon, 108% a 109; do. ten-forties, registered, | 1079¢@ 10754; do. do., coupon, 10774 a 108, | { | { SOUTHERN SECURITIES DULL. | The Southern State bonds were dull, but the busj- hess, such as it was, was fairly aistrivuted.

There was a duller tone in the stock market and Some hesitation in the upward movement, at least in the portion of the st outside of Pacific Mail, Erie, Lake Shore and Union Pacific which, were ac- tive and strong. There was also a disposition to take up fresher specialties, as evinced in a rise in Canton to 903<, and in Quicksilver preferred to 41, The very first transa>tion 10 the morning was a sale Of 1,000 Pacific Matl at 6034, which was followed immeutately by another of 1,500 shares at 62, This anomaly elicited the explanation that on the pre- vious evening the ‘bear’ clique had made application to Judge Gilbert, of Brooklyn, for an injunction to restrain the officers of the com- pany from lending money on the stock, and ob- tained one, on the strength of which they had via- ited the Fifth Avenue Hotel during the course of the night and offered the stock down to 60, hoping to | demorolize the “bull’? movement at the opening of business this morning, The fact reaching the ears of the “bull” clique, the latter posted off to Brook- | lyn at midnight, aroused the Judge from his stum- bers, and induced him to listen to an argument, wherein they adduced the example of the St. Paul, | Northwest nd other ocorporators who were in the habit of lending tneir idle money on call in Wall street, The application for a dissolution of the itnyunction was successfui, and the ‘bulls’? returned to New York in highglee, It transpired that the ‘bears’ had en- deavored to get the injunction early in the day and use It when the Stock Exchange was in sesston, trusting to a general stampede of the outside “bulls” to make @ panic tn the shares, This morn- ing both parties met m the hall of the Board, and as the hour of ten was striking the “vears” started knowing that the bulls” had procured & dissolution of the injunction over night, The latter took the 1,000 shares at 603g, and one of their brokers in- BStantly bid 62 for any part of 5,000 shares, getting 1,500 on the spot. The battle now began in earnest. The “bulls” pushed the stook up to 625%. ‘The ‘bears’? forced it back to 62, Both parties rested at 623 a 623, and reconnottred. Eventually the Legislative Committee was reported as favorable to the bill reducing the Pacific Matl Capital to $10,000,000, and about the same time the over-due Alaska was reported to have arrived safciy ‘The stock started off again and sailed up to 633g, despite the frantic opposition of the “bears.” Our Boston telegrams im another column report the complete triumph of the Vanderbilt imterest in the annual election to-day for directors of the Union Pacific Ratiroad, and the subsequent choice of Horace F. Clark for President, the vote for this Ucket having been about eight-ninths of the capital swck. The Scott party made no contest. Tne shares of Union Pacific advanced to 36% on the news, which had its influence more directly else- where, however—viz., upon Rock Island and-North- western, which, a8 the connecting links between the Lake Shore and Union Pacific roads, were deemed way consolidation enterprise. How much Mr. Van- derbilt himself is really interested in all these movements 18 diMcult to say. His friends assert that he.is not engaged in the many plans set on foot by his ambitious son-in-law, out doubtless he regards them all witn a pleased eye. Perhaps one of these days the honor of the presi- dency of a railway running from New York wo San Francisco may be conferred upon the great railway King by these energetic sons and sons-in-law. Toward the close of business “0. C. and I. C.” ad- vanced to 2444, St, Paui to 68% and Ohio to 46. Tne general list was unseitied, and except for Pacific Mail the best prices were not maintained, kre recovered tis strength and reiurned to 383%. It is thought the Erie Ring are pay- ing the expenses of their efforts to cor- rupt the Legislature from the proceeds of the sale of more stock, notice of the issue of which will be duly made to the Stock Excnange. The decline the other day is attributed to this cause. Itis only necessary to issue convertible bonds at any time and turn them into stock. In explanation of the full lists of stock sales be- Jow it should be stated that the reguiar “calls” of the board were found insufficient wo expresa tne day’s fluctuations, and were no real indication, much less a record of business, Hence the printed lists, which are the official guide to the public, ana oitentimes are used to settle legal disputes about stock operations, are now made to’ include the tor- mal and informal transactions occurring at the board, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES, ‘The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of the principal stocks during the day:— Highest, Lowest, New York Central.... ve 9026 9935 New York Central, scrip.. 9456 cere Erie... 33; 3254 keading.. 114% 118% Lake shore. 5} 92% Wavash... 15% Ty Northwestern.. 7934 18% Northwestern preferred. 9256 9234 Rock Island... ..... 14 118% St. Paul..... 08% 533g St. Paui preierred, ce) 7836 Onio and Mississippi ., 46 4555 Onion Pacitic ........... 36% 8656 Western Union Telegraph 10% Why | Pacitic Mail.........06 62 SALES AT THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE, Wednesday, March 6—10 to 10:30 A.

The resolution adopted by the “funny fellows” of tne Board of Aldermen on Monday last, prohibit- ing the Brooklyn city railroad companies from col- lecting fare from passengers unless the latter are provided with seats in the cars is a dead letter in the statute books of that municipality. The matter 1s treated with silent contempt by the railroad cor- porations, and tne servants of the latter laugh at the presumption of the passe! who may lay claim to the enjoyment ot the right acco by the ordinance of the Common Council and refuse to pay ‘unless furnished with a seat. If the passenger per-, sists in the refusal to pay his fare for the privilege of “hanging on” to any part of the crowded car he 13 1gnominiousiy expelled by the conductor, So much fer the buncombe protective measures of the Allustrious Council of the Commonalty of Brooklyn. That Vaccinated Veni. Yesterday morning the operators in vaccinated veal were taken before Health OMcer George Cochran, and interviewed upon the subject, which has suddenly,grown into a.matier of great import- ance to the digestive organs of lovers of calf meat. The parties are—Dr. Chambon (a French physician), Mr. Paturel, of the frm of Paturel & Son, 54 Duane street, New York, and Frank Young, the butcher, corner Court and Wyckoff streets, The agreement existing between this trio was that they were to share ti profits accruing from the sale of the veal and the pox taken from the calves, The matter used in inoculating the cali, 1 was shown during the interview, Was not taken fsom & but from acow. Dr. Cochran suid faif'is disposed. of tothe butchers, when it should be put in the offal dock or sent back to a Jarm, and not slaughtered. Mr. Paturel said it Would not pay to let the animal go to waste after the cowpox nad been taken from it, They could make $100 out of some calves and others not @ cent, and in the long run it would not pay the calves. The Heakh Oficer said he had given Dr. Chambon his per- mit to keep one calf for this Duppose, and that the permit had been violated, he wete to continue granting the privilege to these exporters of vaccine matter, whut surety was there that the Ineculated animais would not and offered for sale im the public market?

Great Revival of Activity in ; All Directions. PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE FEATURES. Large and Important Transactions in West Side Property. Boulevard and Park Lots in Demand. Movement\in Washington Heights Property. IMPORTANT SALE TO-DAY. Alter an interval of protractsa dulness the real estate market appears to be fairly entering upon a recurrent period of activity. These alternate sea- sons of staguation and’ animation are natural in al) departments of trade, being the more recognizable in those where speculation enters freely as am ele- ment of business. That this is the case in the real estate market of this city 18a fact patent te-all, being Concomitant with its growtheand expansion, ‘The causes operating to produce the recent INTERRUPTION OF DEALINGS except to an insignificant degree—tor of course’ in: acity so heavily mortgaged a total suspension of transactions in real estate is impossible—nave been 80 frequently and fully stated here, and are so welt. understood as not to call for repetition. The happy: fact that such canses have been removed or ceased to exercise their tnduence are quite sufficient for! those interested in THE ‘REVIVAL OF DRALINGS, which this year may be considered as fairly estab- Ushed from the sale of the Deviin estate on Febru. ary 13, last, This estate consisted of 192 lots, situs ated principally in the upper portion of the well Known Boulevard district, comprising lots on 136th, 137th, 138th and 139th streets, and 1ots onthe Boule+ vard, Broadway, Tenth and Twelfth avenues, This sale may be safely put down as the iniual sale which fixed the character of activity upon the market for the season. The attendance was very large, the circumstances of the sale being such as to give the certain assurance of its being ‘without reserve.” At appears that in his will the late Vantel Deviin directed that his real estate be sold at public auc~ tion within dive years from the date of his decease, which period expired last month, hence the ofer- lugs were entirely without reservation, The result ‘Was in every way satisfactory, the aggregate amount realized being $600,000."

A sale somewhat similar to ‘his was the feature of yesterday’s transacuion, and comprised low on Eighth, St. Nicholas and Ninth avenues, the Boulevard, 123d, 124th, 126th, 126un and Manhattan streets, These lots are situate in the Immediate vicinity of Morningside Park ana the several plazas formed by the junction of various of the streets named. and were sold with the full consideration of the attractions they thus possess influencing buyers, offering thus A FAIR EXHIBIT OF THE CHARACTER OF THE MARKET at the present time. ‘The aggregate amount reaitzed Was about $210,000, being an average of $3,550 er lot ullround. The lots on St, Nicholas avenue, etween 1234 and 124th streets, ranged trom $3,800 to $5,150, averaging $4,600 per lot, the lot on the southeast corner of St. Nicholas avenue and 124th street selling for $6,150 and tnat on the northeast corner of the avenue and 1284 street for $4,950. The Eighth avenue lots, west side, between 123d and 124th streets, rangea from $5,100 to $5,375, the lots on each corner selling, one for $8,250 and the other Tor $7,625, Ninth avenue lots brought about $3,000, and on the cross streets $2,400 was pald for lots in the middie of the block. ‘The lot on the corner of the Boulevard and f24th street brought $7,250. In addition to the above some fifty lots situate at ‘Washington Heights were offered, but one of which, on the southwest corner of Broadway or the Kings- bridge road and the road to Fort Washington depot, 35x1v0, was disposed of, J. A. Broadhook being the purcuaser, for $5,000, Bids ranging irom $2,000 to $2,660 were offered for otners, but not accepted, The sale was subsequently announced for a fuvure jay. In these two sections, whicn we may designate for the sake of description tne Boulevard and Wasieington Heights districts, we have the fleid of A NEW SPECULATION IN REAL ESTATE Just budding into the promise of equalling any that has preceded it in this city. The indicawons all seem to point to this result. The time is ripe for just such @ movement. The recent gap in the activity or the market, which seems aiready as vhough it were a biank that had been most effectually turned over and pasted down, gave time for a thorough settling down of the disturbed ele. ments of excitement in the trade, which kept men wavering in their minds respecting the desirability of real estate investments and undecidedin their Preference. It has likewise permitted the Clearing off of much old business in the way of contracts that hampered dealings and moat effectually dissipated the taint of suspicion which at one time took such strong hold of the popuiar mind with respect to auction sales, In short, it has cleared the atmosphere generally of superfiuities, imaginary and real, that choked the free develop- ment of enterprise and given to the operator of to- day more breathing room and a clearer outiook. It 38 Not at all singular that such should be the case, as we have often before stated. It was juite impossible that real estate on. New York sland should remain stagnant forever. Ita re- vival a8 @ great speculative movement was only @ question o! time, and, as we then expressed it, & very short time, That time we think has come, ‘Ihe value of real estate is too secure and too well known to escape the ken of capitalists. “I had rather,” said a gentleman conversing on this sub- ject “pay $6,000 for alot, anywhere on New York island to bulld upon than build elsewhere (in any of the adjoining counties) if a lot were given me for nothing ;” meaning thereby that with the extra cost of $5,000 for the lot, added to the cost of improve- ment, the prospect of return was greater there than in Brooklyn, Jersey City, Westchester county or in apy of tne surrounding districts, This ig the feeling almost universally prevatiing among capitalists in this market seeking real estate investments; heuce those recurring periods of com- Petition, when their thoughts being turned im this direction they seek to secure the Kind of property promising, in their judgment, the greavest or earli- eat appreciation, In regard to this connection it may be stated that on THE UPPER END OF THE ISLAND there is evidenced a disposition for a more perma- nent Kind of investment than was ever veiore seen, | and some large tracts that have been but recently | sold were purchused by those who con template immediate building. This dis- Position 1s extending also into Westches- ter county, where, in anticipation of ita. annexauon to New York, there 1s considerable. movement in real estate; but, while at Washiugton, Heights men are satisiied with from one to five acres as & building plot, in Westchester county they || require from fifty to one hundred acses, It is pre~ dicated upon recent data that north of 155th street. * the city will be more rapidly built upon than south, of it to the Park, just as Harlem grew into a; flourishing suburb, while Yorkvule was only a sporadic settlement. This has been heretofore the character of the city’s growth, and it 1s reasonable to suppose it will continue, People sometmes erroneously suppose, because of the gaps they perceive in the built up portions of the city up town, thay, its extension ts bounded by these; but this Is by ho Means the case, as these reas spaces are alterwards absorbed in the spread of the various built up districts surrounding. Great im- provements are expected to be carrted through up town at an eany date, It has been proposed. that a single commission should be appoin to deelare all the streeisand avenues here open, Titts would de- termine the grade and stimoiate building, and much pemege g) felt in this direguion at the final ser Uement of tne grade of Eighwn avenue, the comsiant ¢ of which was a cause of serious annoyance. Iv 1s furthor stated that the gas and water mains are to be pus through the Heights without waitin; for the opening of the streets, The question o! rapid transit and the project of a Harlem eanal are two matuers which are iutimately associated with the development of this secuon of the city, concern- ma which We shal) have something to cay THE PRESENT ACTIVITY firice within ae past opuple of years wae 4 occ ge @ opuple of years, but a genaine revival of business, which there is every pasos, to beheve will last the season. We learn that the savings banks are coming into the market to a large extent, the t furry = in Tespect to the character of their assets and te lears of what might have happened serving as a caution to them to seek such solid investments. Former depositors, too, who, were frightened in the recent ic, are among the forward buyers.
