4 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Erratic Fluctuations in the Money Market. The Rate “on Call” Opens at 45, Ad-| vances to 68, Declines to 7 and Closes at 12 Per Cent. The Pressure on the Sceretary of the Treasury to Buy an Extra Amount of Bonds. Mr, Boutwell Disappoints the “Bulls” and the Stock Market Falls. Erie Lively in the Market. London Gossip and Speculation as to the Alteration of the “Bank Rate.” Foreign Exchange Firmer---Govern- ments and Gold Steady. WALL STREET, } WEDNESDAY, April 10—6 P, M, On ‘Change to-day wheat was dull and heavy. ‘The cotton market was firm and a little more active. THE TREASURY PURCHASE OF BONDS. The offerings of bonas at the Sub-Treasury amounted to $3,463,%50, at prices ranging from 109.89 to 110.42. The bids were opened at noon and the result telegraphed to Washimgton, but the answer speciiyiug the amount accepted was Not received until a little after three o'clock, It is supposed that the Secretary of the Treasury, who had been strongly petitioned to make an extra purchase tn order to relieve the money market, went over to consult the President, and discussed the subject with him. Hence the long delay. The adherence of Mr. Boutwell to bis origi- nal programme of buying only one million of bonds gave & great deal of dissatisfaction on the street, a3 it naturally would when so many parties are anxioys to see an easy money market come to the relief of their speculations. The interest taken in Mr. Boutweii’s policy was seldom so largely mant- fested as during to-day. Between the time of the opening of the bids ana the reading of the awards the L formed by the junction of Broad with Wall streeé and the steps and front of the Sub-Treasury were almost binck with men who bad come forth from the brokers’ offices, tempted by the balmy sunshine and their eagerpess to get the first mtelligence of Mr. Boutwell’s decision as tothe award. The million bought was obtaimed at 109.89 & 110.1124. MONEY STRINGENT BUT EASIER, ‘The money market was stringent thronghont the Gay, but tre average rate was lower—thot ia, the bulk of business was at 4; per cent This Was the opening rate, and was steadily bid until about two o'clock, wheu as high ag 316 was paid. Next came a rumor that Mr. Boutwell would accept an extra lotof bonda, his long delay in announcing his decision being re- garded as iavorable to aa extra purchase, and loans were made at 7 percent. By tts time accounts had been preity well made up, but enough borrowers had waitea for Mr. Boutwell’s decision to make a pretty active inquiry up to hall-past three o'clock, ‘when 1-32 was paid again, with transactions re ported at as high as 1-16. Discounts are, of course, entirely nominal and evotd of reliable quotation. Foreign exchange was firmer for sight sterling, which fact is taken to confirm the reporis of an ac- tuve money market in London and justily the proph- ecies of an advance to-morrow 1a the Bank of Eng- land rate of discount, The market was dull, how- ever, and quotations were only nominal on the basts of 109% for prime bankers’ sixty day steriing and 110% for sight billy A bid forround anounts & 4M below these rates would probably be accepted, GOLD STRONG—110%% A 11033. ‘The gold market was steady most of tae day at 1104 @ 1109j, the firmer feeling In exchauge and the expectation of an advance ju the Buuk of Eng- land rate of discount being alter midday less influ- ential in their effect on the market, because of the impression tuat an extra bond purchase at the Sub-Treasury to-day meant an extra gold sale to- morrow. But just after three o'clock, waca Mr. Bouts well's decision was announced, gold advanced to _ 1105, ; but only a few sales were recorded thereai, the price returning later in the alternoon to 110%, the closing quotation at 5:30 P. M. being 110 6-16 a 11095. Toe Sub-Treasury disbursed $52,000 Ou account of redeemed five-twenties. In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 1-32 jor carrying to fat for borrowing, The Operations oi the Gold “xchange Bank were as lollows:— Gold cleared Goid baiance: currency balances.

Tue purchase of only one militon of bonds was not regard- ed as promising any relief to the money market, for the reason that while the payment will probably be made partially 1a national bank notes the gold sale to-morrow wiil take back a full million of greenbacks into the Treasury if the “bear” clique repeat the sirategy of last week. Erie was very active in Lon- | don and advanced to 66 (In our currency), but sud- denly declined to 64 Im our market it ad- vanced Ww 6614, declined to 6314 and closed at 64, It was ramored that the decline abroad was the result of a heavy financial tatlure on the London Stock Exchange, and again, that it was due to a sMarp pipch in tae London movey market preliminary to the expected raising of the Bank rate to-morrow. ‘he ume allowed for the registration of Reading expired this afternoon, ‘and that stock will not be called and will not be dealt in at the Board until the company comply with the rules of the Stock Exchange.

No Excitement in the Stecet—What ly Thought of the Breakdown of the Prosecution Aguinst Smith & Co. The excitement tn Wall street over the “lock-up” yesterday altogether faded out, and money yester- day afternoon showed signs of reiurniug ease and plenty, The vreakdown of the prosecution against tho conspirators, however, still lingered as an amusing and interesting topic of conversation. Nowhere eli perhaps, is the power of money rated higher than in the “street,” and as that locaitty is the very head- quarters of Mammon the feeling ts not an unnatural one, Nearly everyboay, therefore, predicted, when the prosecution was first initiated, that nothing could be done against men so rich as those assailed, even if they were really gutlly of any wreng—a question upon which opinion was divided. It can: not, therefore, be sald that any one is disappointed at the resuit of the proceedings in the Court. sul vhere is a great dea) ol dissatisfaction at the ap- parent impossibulty of preventing such taterierence With the ordiaary current of faance, Nota few men have olten woldered, no doubt, what would bo the consequence if one among‘our half a dozen Co- josst of Weallu—one of the grand dukes of Mam- mon’s court, and not mere ordinary princes of sec- ond rate iinportance, like the men who are now be- lieved to have been the instigators of tue preseat scheme—were to take it juto his nead to suddeuly wiihdraw his capital irom the market. Of course, such a thing under ordinary circumstances would be impossibie, because no capitaist could sell out his investmearts and realize his wealth without enormous sacrifices. Yeo a state of things may be imagined in which, by a long pianned aud skilully executed plan, such @ programme could be carried out And then—why then, of course, thousands of men would be ruined and the country wouid be plunged into the horrors of a panic. 1013 a for- tunate thing that it is the necessaty interest of all rich men to see everybody around them prosper- ous, and that they are forced to be in to main “bulls,’” it is generally felt that, by legislation either at Washington or Albany, or soine otuer place, these lock-ups have gotto be mide au impossibility in the future. The prompt action of the Clearing House is pralsed on all sides, aud many look upon it a8 securing the communtiy from ail chance of danger from this crylug evil, Still, many people complain that the matter needs to be put on & firmer basis, and that the direct intervention ot the law must be invoked, They confess, however—even those who compiain loudest— that it is scarcely possible to frame @ law to cover the action ussaued wituout @ serous blow at the sacred right of a man to do as he chooses witt lis own money—to keep it in the bunk or bury if in the ground, or to take it away to another country, or dispose of it in any otuer fool. ish or ecventric Manner that may find tavor in his e;es, indeed, the only legislation strongly called for, accordmg to geteral sontiinent, 18 tne re- peal of tue usury laws, which, it is believed, would end lock-ups by making twem useless, Let tt be Jogal vo gel as Many per Cent tor capital as capital ds tuirly worth, aod enough of tt can alWays be sound. CENERAL JAIL DELIVERY. Hope for the Penttentiary Inmates—One Handred and Flity “irds” In Pativat Ex pectation. The Supreme Court Chambers (Judge Brady pre- siding) was densely crowded yesterday morning, in anticipation of the interesting argument on the writs Of habeas corpus returnable 1n cases oi prisoners sent to the Venitentiary by the Police Magistrates of the Court of Special Sessions. It will be remem- dered that when the question came up on Monday last the Court suggested an adjournment, in order that the decision of the Court of Appeais might be obtained from Albany. Considerable interest was Attached to the question at issue, as it was Wougnt that it wouid be fully discussed, Writs have beea granted in the cases of nearly two hundred prisonera, and the solution of the matter Created not a littie discussion in legal circles, Mr. W. F. Howe, wheu the case was called for hearing, sald that, witn reference to the writs of haboas corpus directed to the keeper of the Pent tenuary, he would suggest that, ta view of the fact that the Cours of Appeals had not transmitted an oficial copy of the cecision, the argument shoud stand over till Monday next, by whica time he had no doubt the copies of ‘the dectsioa would arrive, He was, however, prepared to argue the question now, but he considered it more advisable to wall for tie decision, District Attorney Garvin said he had learned one or two matters in regard to the question at issue which hatnot yet appeared, [le had been actively At work since the last time the case came up, and had entered fully into the various details connected therewith. Under the circnmstances, however, le woul like to hear some suggestion trom tbe Court. Mr. Welue, on behalf of one prisoner, remarked that he had beea imformea that Mr. Justice Grover had written Qa opinion embracing sume very im- portant polnts, material to the issue tu this case, Judge Brady—I thuik you had better say ‘uesday, because | bave a new calendar on Monday, It 13 important that we should understand precisely wiat the Court has decid Mr, Howe—'The more so as in case the prisoners are ed and the District Attorney should uss for nnmitment ffatend to argue that under the habeas corpus act they cannot be recommitied, Disirlet Attorney Garvin submitted that in case the Court snould hold that the prisoners have been tried and convicted under unconstitutional law, and that they were entitied to thelr discharge as if no judgment had been rendered, toon he would take the position that those men had not sufered, tant they nad not been in jeopardy, and he would ask the Court to recommit them and try them right over again. That was his position in the premises, Alter some further discussion Judge brady al- lowed the case to stand over till Tuesday next, when a regular fleld day may ve expecied. JS “Dutch Helorich? Again—Application Writ of Krror. In the case of “Dutch Heinrich,” allas Henry Neuman, Mr. W. F. Howe appiied for a writ of error to bring the matter into the Supreme Court, on the ground that the Court below had declined to aliow the prisoner to testify in his own benalf. Counsel said he made the appilcetion asa matter o! rignt The prisoner had regularly entered on the execution of lis sentence, District Attorney Garvin sald If there was no stay incorporated tn the writ, then, of course, he would have no Ovjection, because he also thouguL It Was a matter of right. ‘The writ of error was accordingly granted.
