Cotton was firm and a fraction better. THE EXPORTS OF THE WEEK. Tho aggregate exports of domestic merchandise from the port of New York forthe week ending April 2, 1872, amounted to $3,595,198, MONEY STRINGENT. The money market was steadily stringent, except fora few minutes after turee o'clock, when tem- porary relaxauon occurred, but was followed by extreme rates again up to the close of dealings, Which were carried on to as late as twenty-four minutes past three. Among the government houses the rates were 7 currency to 7 coin, but to the stock brokers the average was about +4 per cent, equal to 45 per cent per annwun. Although borrow- ers started out early many accounts were not made up until the late hour above specified, The quotation for money most of tue day was 1-16 a 34 per cent, the stringeney increasing in the afternoon until 816 was freely paid for tne use of money over night. Some reports stated that 14 had been paid, but it must have been in a few cases only. Atten minutes past three o’clock the demand suddenly abated, and jenders. accepted 6 per cent; but in a fow minutes borrowers appeared again and the rates Closed at 7 coin and 1-32, Prime paper was nominally quoted 7 @ 12 per cent discount, . Foreign exchange was firmer, the dearer rates for carrying gold naturally causing more investment in bilig, aod the market, while dull, was more steady, on the basis of 10934 a 1093; for prime bank- ers’ sixty day sterling and 110 and 1104; for sight bills.

STOCKS DULL AND LOWER, The stock market was steady and in many in- stances strong early in the day, but became heavy after three o'clock, and finally broke down, the de- cline occasioning no little alarm among the smalior Speculators and weak holders. Erie sold at 63 at the beginning of business, in sympathy with ® corresponding rise in London, put weak- ened and went off to 61 on a report that General Dix had resigned the Presidency. The rumor doubtless grew out of the announcement that the Vice President bad resigned. A new pool tu Western Union took that stock to 753, and there ‘Was a rise of some importance in Reading. Boston, Hartford and Erie was ran upto 9% on a rumor that Amsterdam was buying, and “0. 0, and I, vu.” shot up to 803%, Otherwise the market was with. out much change from the previous current of prices until the break im Erle toi, and “the scare” at the close took everything down very rapidly, the lowest prices prevailing in the half hour just before adjournment, Tne market had a weak, tired tone and seemed to succumb to the relentless pressure of the money market. Tne pub- Ac appetite was also less ravenous, now that it was 80 generally understood, as stated in the HeRALD, that the cliques bad generally sold out. Tho Pana- Ma directors have elected A. B. Stockwell President and F, W. G, Bellows Vice President of the company. The identity with Pacific Mail is therefore more con- spicuous, HIGHEST AND LOWES?

SHOOTING IN A LAGER BEER SALOON, A Roug Shot by a Bartender—Provable ca of Justifable Homicide=Tac Bariender Arrested, A very sad affair, resulting in the speedy death of ayoung man named John Hallisey, twenty-tour years of age, by trado a shoemaker, who lived in Pearl street, occurred yesterday. It is staied that ‘a few days ago Hallisey, who was long and unfavor- ably known to the Fourth precinct police, having been arrested for various offences and served seve- ral terms of imprisonment in the Penitentiary, yes- terday morning, at half-past seven o'clock, entered the lager beer saioon of Henry Lamcken, No. 4 North Wiliiam street, and asked for something to drink of John F, Menken, the barkeeper then in charge. For the reason, as alleged, that a few days ago, Hallisey entered the place drunk and broke tumblers and decanters, Menken refused .to give him anything to drink, particularly as ne was al- ready under spiritual influence. Hailisey then drew a pistol irom his pocket, and, as Menken asserts, polnted it at him with the intent to shoot, The barkeeper, considering his life to ve in immi- nent danger, hasilly grasped the revolver which was kept behind the counter for the purpose of protection, and fired three shots ot Halitsey, one of which at least took effect In the head, back and above the right ear, the bullet passing mward and downward and aoubticss lodging tn the brain, Halnsey sank to the floor and expired in a tew moments atterward. At the first shot it is believed deceased dodged downward, and while in a stooping iuon oue of the other shots took effect in his head, as above described. ime alarm was instantly given, when Roundsman Kelly, Oi the Second precinct, aud Officer sweeney, of the Fourth ward, ran into the saloon and arrested Menken, who offered no resistance, and took him to the Oak street police station, along with the body of pauaets The pistols of both meu were also se- cured and taken in charge by Sergeant Brooks, of the Fourth precinct, Menken, who 1s an innocent looking German, twenty-one years of age, made a statement in which the facts as above given were detatled. The prisoner stated that two or three hali-drunken men, wilose naimes and residences he does not know, were sit- ling near the stove ja the barroom at the time ol the shooting, but they speedily disappeared. Whether they saw the weapon discharg: is un- kuown, but efforts will be made to secure their at- tendance as witnesses Defore Uoroner Schirmer, Who will make ao investigation to-day, Should the version of the affair given by the bartender be verified by competent witnesses, it will go far to- wards exonerating Menken from Ms unpleasant predicament, Yesterday afternoon Special Officer John Haley, attached to the Coroners’ Oflice, found Charles Ff, Nichols, a printer, Who was in the saloon at the time of the snooting. Nichols states most positively that he saw deceased produce a pistol and deliver- atcly point it at Menken, who stood behind the bar, Menken then drew a pistol, aud securing we first shot, killed his assailant. The investigation will tike place at ten o'clock this morning, and Captain Ulman, of the Four recinct, Will have the witnesses in attendance. Jolonel U. 8. Spencer, of the Filth regiment, and Mr. George F. Martens have"been retained to look after the interests of the accused before the Coroner. THE COMPTROLLER'S PAYMENTS.

What is Wanted to Stimulate Activity Here. A Simple Solution of the Rapid Transit Problem. THE GREAT DESIDERATUM. Brooklyn and New York a Unit in the Future. The promise of a renewal of activity in the real estate market given in the early part of last month ‘still haits tn its tulfiment through the indifference of the Legistavure to what has been often pointed out here as the great desideratum and one require- ment to stimulate dealings—rapid trausit, THE OPERATIONS OF THE PAST WEBK were unimportant, the public transactions consist. ing principally of ‘legal sales,’ which, even, did not as @ whole present the most sausfactory results, ‘The aggregate sales at public auction of city prop- erty, Mostiyimproved, during the past week, realized a trifle Over half a million of dollars, being a falling off of about thirty thousand dollars from the aggre- gate of theprevious week, “he market at private sales was extromely dull, very many tmportant ne- gotiations being held tn abeyance waiting some dis- position by the Legislature of the rapid transit problem, THE ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE GURRENT WEEK fre similar in character to those of last week. Of forty-eight separate invoices presented In the auc- tion market thirty-two are offered under legal au- thority, whether of executors in foreclosure or by order of a releree. The balance, sixteen, are offered in the ordinary way, while seven of the whole number are adjourned sales. Operations of Unis kind, however numerous, do not give the mar- ket the character of activity, a large proportion of “legal sales” of real estate trom week to week being @ necessary consequence of the ordinary trade changes in a great commercial city like New York, where nearly all the realty is mortgaged. THE REAL USPATE MARKET PROPER comprises the movement of unimproved property, such as Boulevard and Harlem lots, Washington Heights or Westchester county property, or otuer suburoan real estate, suck as Long Island or New Jersey. The spring opened with a very fair prospect of a resumption of activity in this direction, the initial sales indicating the beginning of another of those eras of marked appreciation which, at recurring seasons, determine values upon a higher plane than those preceding, and fix the point for a new de- parture in the next succeeding period of activity. ‘The disappointment of this expectation is thus far regarded as but temporery, the animation looked for in the market being only postponed, and the hope is induiged in that the Legislature will rise tO ® comprehension ot its high duties, and deal with the subject of rapid transit, a necessary condition precedent to present activiiy 1o New York real estate, In a broad, liberal manner, becoming men who have in their charge the destinies of the metropolis of America. It will be too bad should they fall short of this much to be desired greainess of understanding and action, aa THE NECESSITIES OF NEW YORK ARE PRESSING, and the occasion, from surrounding circumstances, suoh that delay cannot be permitted without serious loss, In aadition to what has been already said here concerning the rivalry of New Jersey, and especially the interest which the New Jersey Uen- tral Raliroad has in preventing the accomplish- ment of rapid transit in this city, the suojoined ex- tract from the pamphiet previously quoted from in these columns presents a truthfal and instructive contrast between the two States, which the Legisla- ture should take earnestly into consideration, “The very atmosphere of New Jersey,” saya tls pamph- let, “is progressive. Men who have lived years in New York city, avd groaned under its burden of tafation, its Wretched system of street railroads, 13 corrupt government and the hundred tils that metros Politan flesh 1s heir to, move across the river, aud find their new homes to be where great undertak- ings aro proposed, decided upon and carried out ull at the one tine; thas wile the people of New York have for @ young iiletime been discussing and quarreling Over visionary schemes transit, the city of Newark has an elevated rallway that has cost mlilions of money, running for several miles through the city, crossing but two streets on a level.

The delay that has already occurred 1n dealing with this gpenliee ina proper spirit has been of incalculable Injury. To take the Single case of its ettect upom the real estate market this year, tho trifling of the Legislature with imperfect or impracticable schemes has checked @ reviving movement that promised most favorably, Everything seemed to stimulate activity, and after a long period ol stagnation the Market was beginning to feel the spur of a fresh excitement. Nor was this disposition in real estate confined to New York, All over the couutry there seemed to be A RISING TIDE IN REAL ESTATE VALUES, which would have had its greatest elovatien here, if not checked in the manner we have pointed out. From Boston to San Francisco came evidence of the inclination of men’s minds towards real estate in- vestments, ‘hus the two stocks iu the stock list of the New York Exchange which represent land im- | a neorag oston Water Power and Cane n—have been very stropg and sold recently, the first mentioned at 58, against 20 this time last year, And the latter at 96, a3 against 70 last year. Bot of these represent reclaimed tands, Boston Water Power an improvement somewhat simuar to the proposed Wallabout improvement tn brooklyn, and Canton the reclamation of a district holding about the same relation to Baltimore as Gowanus Qoes to Brooklyn. In addition to these we have the following syudicate scheme from across the Conti- nent:—The Anglo-American Land Reclamation Syndicate, whose property in swamp aud over. fowed lands in Valifornia was recoully examined by Mr. Eastwick, M. P., and his Kaglish associates, have now secured control of all the marsh lands In the State, which they propose to reclaim by a very extensive system Of sea walls, levees and dr ditches. ‘These, together with adjoming uplanas « taken up by the Syndicate, amount to a half a mil llon acres. Promiueat civil engineers: and capl- talists having endorsed the scheme—the practl- cablity of which 18 established by the success or similar thcugh less extensive reclamattons— and vhe enterprise and its prospective benefits to the State are attracting much attention. The company will commence operations immedt- ately on the great delta enclosed vy the Sacra- mento and San Joaquin Rivers, — Reports trom the other side of the Atlantic aiso give information of an eXcited movement in real esiaie in staid old Berlin, where the plethora of pel a Ree by the prompt payment of the French ludemaity bi stimulated an advance tn many sections of the cit of 100 per ceat. Nor is this to be wondered at, for what investment offers the same security?

Yet, perhaps, some idea may be gained from a recent Rieter London real estate, which seems to have atu some attention, pee lease of a plot of land op- poe the Mansion House, in the city of London. Phis 18 the very heart of “the city,” adjacent to the Stock Exchange and the Lank of England, TI plot is said to have been recently let at @ grot Tent of almost equal to £1 per square foot per an- num, which represents a capitalized value of about @ million and @ half sterling per acre, or $7,500,000, If, here iu New York, ou our | “ avenue of business—Broadway—we give $200, for a city lot of twenty-tive feet by 100 for the fee simple, we think tnat we have pea am. ply for our right, and yet twelve es the area mentioned will be nearly an and twelve times the purchase instanced will bé but $2,400,000, less than a third the value of the Mansion House plot, If New York 1s to intaying two additional tracks on their airead double track road, making It the only four-trac railway 10 Lms country.” We nave aiso received communteations toucuing Mr. Joan Tayior John. ston’s connection with TH NEW YORK (VIADUCT) RAILWAY COMPARY, all pointing to the same conclusion, that while he remains at the head of the company it would be folly to expect that anything will be done by tt toward providing rapid transit in thiscity, It has been already pointed out here how manifest this disposition to prevent rather than forward the work provided tor in its charter 1a, 1g the last circular issued by the Prosident; but it was hoped that upon a full exposition of this t oaipen on the part of that oficer the gentlemen of the Executive Com- mittee, who are generaliy regarded as public. spirited New Yorkers, having the inverests of their own chy at heart, would have done someiuing to relieve themselves of waatever imputation of coilu- sion in the policy of the President of the New Jersey Central liroad might be supposed to attach to them for their association with him and responsibility for maintaining bimw in his present po- sition in the Viaduct Company, Nothing has becn heard froin them, however, and it remains for the Legisiature to provide the mecessary remedy to re- move this great obstrucuonist.

We will not reach that goal, however, unless our legislators rise to ® better appreciation of thelr duties than thoy have hitherto shown themselves capable of doing. We must have rapid transit to give the proper impetus to real estate investments at the upper end of the island. We want it both to permit our proper and. natural expansion, but in such form as wilh induce our metropolitan population to ree miain within proper limits, aud not, as now, distribute itself sporadically over an area too great tor profitable use at the a. iniated values pre- vailing in many suburban places, Appreciaiion would then be more stead: form—in & proper relation to this, the centre of activity stimu- Jating such increase. ‘The interests of Brookiyn are identical with New York’s in this respect, as what- ever will operate to check the present movement towards New Jersey must eventually result to her advantage equally with Westchester county. Whether ever united under one corporate adminis- tration or not, the two cities becoming every year more united, are destined to so act one upon the other as to become 1n time parts of the one motro- polis.
