WALL Streer, Monpay, May 20—6 P. ‘.} On Chango to-day the market showed the same 4iMiculty between holders and buyers in wheat, although prices on the whole were heavy. Flour was quiet, with buyers reticent. Cotton was Bteady. ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE there was but little of special interest, the largest uctuations being in Erie and Pacific Mall, the for- mer of which ranged 234 per cent, while the latter wibrated 25% per cent. The closing of the transfer books in the case of the latter drew off the particular interest in it this afternoon, pithough the result of the election is still doubt. The matter of the increased subsidy was come up in the House this afternoon, but this ‘will probably go through now. The opposition have fought ably against it, and as they uave no reward to look for other than the satisfaction of their con- stituents, it is probable that they will not interposo Many difficulties in the future. ERIE AGAIN, Erie was the leading feature of interest in the Market upon a report from London coming through private sources that a ticket for the coming election, leaded by Colonel Tom Scott, of the Pennaylvania Central, with other prominent New York names, had been circulated about London, and received the Support of Bischoffsheim and the rest of the At- fantic and Great Western interest. The recent movement of the stock during the latter part of last week, and which continued to-day to put the stock up to 75%, is a result of this report, while it \s further said that Scott has succeeded in coa- Jescing the Heath and Raphael or English protective committee interest in his favor. Important communications have certainly passed be- tween them of late, confidently supposed to be of that character. It 18 scarcely ne- pessary to say that New York does not cordially endorse this nomination, a fact it is even said that the great Wall street evangelist, Daniel Drew, has ploged out his short contract of 50,000 shares, for the purpose of opposing it. It was for this reason that Vanderbilt's name was trotted out on Satur- ay, and the pressure willbe very stormy and Induce him to enter the contest, the general im- ression among the New York people being, that Scott gets control of the Erie road, it will be run simply as a sort of side show tothe Pennsylvania ntral. This was the great point which k and Gould presented in justification of their seizure of Erle—viz., that they had pre- vented it passing into the hands of a rival corpora- tion in-another State. The accession of Commodore ‘Vanderbilt to its control would be only less objec- tionable, but the passage of this great corporation ito the hands of Colonel Scott—a man of undoubted lent, but already controlling too many railroads" im a country such as this—would almost be equal to ‘the evil of the Fish-Gould management, A sig- ‘nificant fact in this connection 1s to be found in Tha recent. departure of J, Edgar Thomp- on, of tno Pennsylvania Railway Coni- ny, for Europe, ostensibly for the nefit of his health, but in reality, it is thought, to Yorward Colonel Scott’s aspirations, It may be in- teresting to some of these gentlemen to learn that @ representative of a London financial Journal, who hpas been travelling over the Erie Railroad during ‘the past month, returned to New York to-day, after his tour of inspection, and leaves for London at an early date to communicate his information to the Bnglish stockholders. He will, perhaps, give them p better understanding of the value of the property yy control than Colonel Scott’s agents, It has ost passed out of the recollection of that excellent authority, “the oldest inhabitant,” when Erie paid a dividend; but once let it pass into the control of the Pennsylvania Central, and the youngest inhabitant—barring acc- dente—will not live to see it resume that healthy \practice. For instance, take Cincinnati, Columbus {and Indiana Central, familiarly known on the street ‘ps “Cough Candy and Ice Cream,’ which was quite B feature to-day, advancing to 4234, This road runs almost parallel with Fort Wayne, with which it is part of the leased property of the Pennsylvania Ventral. When the great Railroad King ts long of Dincinnatt, Columbus and Indiana Central, the traMo upon this branch is very heavy, but when happens to be short it is singularly diverted to Fort Wayne. The feeling in Wall street is certainly Against Scott’s success in this matter, hut the ‘whances are largely in the Colonel's favor, { THE GENERAL STOOK LIST was extremely quiet, the closing of the transfer ks in Pacific Mail taking even the interest out of t stock, which with Erie and 0, ©. and I. 0., as ve mentioned, were the only features of the lis, The following were the highest and loweat prices ‘tral ... . ¥.

The adoption of the supplementary article to the treaty being already discounted on Saturday in the Gecline in gold to 113%, the market was quict to- day, with sales at 113% in the forenoon, but during the afternoon alternately at 1133 a 118%, closing at these figures, The carrying rate ranged from 8 to 7 per cent, with some few loans flat, The ateadi- ‘ness of the gold premium was largely tho result of Hulness, gduced by a holjday jn London to-day NEW YORK HERALD, (Whit-Monday), and the consequent absence of quotations, The Customs duties to-day were $562,000. The Assistant Treasurer paid out $595,000 gold on account of five-twenties redeemed, making the total to date $50,115,000; and $279,000 on account of interest on the public debt. The Gold Room this afternoon passed a resolution that no business should be transacted before ten A. M. nor after four P. M. under apenalty of $100 for the first offence and suspension for sixty days for the second offence. The operations of the Gold Ex- change Bank were as folows:—Gross clearings, $64,227,000; gold balances, $2,487,038; currency bal- ances, $2,631,168, BOUTWELL'S RESOURCES, The following are the Treasury balances at close of business to-day:—Currency, $10,600,000; coin, $98,500,000; of which $25,600,000 are coin certificates, As there has been some controversy of late in re- gard to Mr, Boutwell’s relation to the gold move- ment it may be of interest to examine how this statement explaing his position. First we have— Coin balances...... Deduct call bonds Total... The Treasury currency balance is only $10,500,000, or not more than enough for the general working of the government, therefore we must deduct $20,000,000 from the coin balance for the redemp- tion of the 3 per cent certificates ordered; thus:— Coin balance. $61,500,000 Three per ce redemption, about. 20,000,000 41,500,000 Total.

SMES The Trouble with the Contract. The Board of Police has issued instructions In- viting propositions for the contract for cleaning the Streets of the city in the event of the failure of the present contractor to perform the work in a man- ner satisfactory to the Board, Under the act re- cently passed by the Legislature the Board of Police gets Immediate control over the contract, but until the 4th day of June the Board does not come into all the power given to it by the act just passed. From that date the Police Commisston- ers assume entire charge of the streets, and can at will give out the contract to another party, or create a bureau of street cleaning, and do the work through the department. The feeling in the Board at present is that this would be an amount of extra labor on the Commissioners for which they have scarcely time, and the chances are that the prospect of success would be only doubt- ful. Another means of doing the work that has been proposed to the Board is to divide up the city into districts, and appoint a separate contractor for each division, This plan, however, is not likely to br upon the Board, as the diMeculty in the way of nding @ number of men to take the contracts Who would be in a position to perform the duties re- quired of them ts very great. The principal obstacle Against any arrangement of that kind would be the want of the necessary Machinery to clear up and carry the dirt. The probability is, from present indications, that the Board will give the contract for the cleaning of the entire city to one man, if the work is not properly done up to the Fourth of June, By this means the Commiesioners will be able to keep up a strict supervision of the work, and give tho seme the much needed blessing of clean thorough- res. A much mooted question in relation to thi subject is the dumping of the garbage and dirt moved from the city. ‘The Commissioners of Police will not allow any dumping on any piace within the city limits, but will insist upon the contractor putting all the dirt, garbage and other refusal into boats at the foot of some yiets that will be designated for the purpose and hen taking it all away from the city. Whether the useless portions of the refuse will then be hung into the water at Sandy Hook or deposited upon some island set aside for the purpose has not yet been decided by the Board, but in all probability a plane will be found down the bay for the purpose of jumping the garbage on, Commissioner Barr 1s of opinion that the cheapest and best way to clean the streets and keep them in a healthy condition would be to give the work to one man and by a constant surveillance by the police keep him up to his work.
