On ’Change to-day wheat was firmer, with a fair demand for shipping, the market closing strong. fhe inquiry was less for flour, with the low grades Mrong, but Closing quiet. Cotton was qulet and «firm at 2040. for low middling and 2140 for mid- Gling. GOLD LOWER. The week opened quictly in the Wall street - Markets and with a dull feeling in the several de- ‘tments of speculation. The earliest sales of gold were made at 11544, after which the premium Advanced to 115%, but soon reacted, and after Vibrating during the greater part of the day be- tween 115% and 11534 closed lower at 115% @ 115%. The borrowing demand for gold is active; rates range from flat to 2, 3, 4, 6, 1-32 and 1-64 per cent. The Assistant Treasurer paid out $6,000 on account of five-twenties redeemed and $303,000 on account of interest on the public debt. The customs receipts were $971,000. The Operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as fol- lows :—Cold balances, $5,432,147; currency balances, $0,240,914; gross clearances, $56,346,000, The following table shows the fluctuations in the premium during the day :— + 163g 1:17 P. M. + 115% 2:36 M + 11535 4 P.M. MONEY ACTIVE, ‘The money market showed more activity in con- ection with the movements of the gold clique, who bid up the price to 5 per cent, offering coin as the collateral, at which figure the’ market closed. Whe bulk of the day’s business, however, was 3 and #percent. Discounts are dull, and prime paper is quoted at 7to 8 per cont. Time loans are in de- «mand at 7 per cent for sixty days, FOREIGN EXCHANGE WAS QUIET. and heavy, the nominal rates, which had been 40934 @ 109% for bankers’ 60 days’ sterling and 110 110% for short sight, giving way during the day, and the principal drawers working down their rates to 109}, and 110. Paris exchange ranges from 5.25 to 5.2644 for 60 days and 5.20 to 5.2144 for short sight, THE STOCK MARKET WAS DULL, but rather firmer in the afternoon, the principal dealings being in Pacific Mail, Union Pacific, North- ‘western and Lake Shore. Erie was inactive, There is much curiosity to learn how Mr. Drew stands in elation to his short contract for 60,000 shares at 65, but the weight of testimony seems to be that he has not yet closedit: It is rumored in con- mection with proposals for a compromise, which have been made of late by “the parties of the ‘second part,’ that he has been offered a seat in the Board of Direction as an inducement to settle, Whether this is a tempting offer it is dificult to judge at present; if accepted, it might prove an- ther instance of “Daniel in the 'ion’s den.” THE EXTREME PRICES OF THE DAY, The following were the highest and lowest prices of stocks during the day:— ose —_ lew York Central and Hudson R.

The conflagration, which was caused by the explosion of one of the stills, involved a loss of $12,000, The foreman and workmen in the still- room had a very narrow escape with their lives, Mr, Casey estimates his logs on stock at $6,000; on fixtures, $3,000; on building, $3,000, Insured in the Alps an Erle Companies for $1,000, The Car Hook Again. The driver of car No, 135, Broadway line, one George Himelstine, a Prussian, ordered Samuel Shannon, driver of a cart, to “turn out of the rail- road track” in a dogged, surly tone, which caused the cartman to retaliate in no very choice lan- foage, This so enraged Himelstine that he seized ‘old of the car hook, and rushing at Shannon, dealt him a fearful blow with the murderous instrument onthe head, The assailant then fled and has not since been found, The injured man was taken to the Ninth ab prectiick station, where his wound was dressed. He has been “hauled up for repairs’ at the hospital, ee A Fatal Plunge. Between one and two o'clock yesterday after- noon George Wishing, a young man, in the employ of Henry Hashagen, of 407 Smith stroct, while driv- ing a horse and milk wagon through Ninth street fell asleep, and the horse stepped off the dock, the Benge being turned, The wagon was, of course, carried with its contents into the turbid waters of the Gowanus Canal. Wishing must have sustained a blow on the head in falling, as he did not come to the surface, The body was not recovered up to a late hour last evening. The horse and wagon were both landed by the Eighth precinct police and re- stored to their owner. . The Brooklyn Budget. The Joint Board of Aldermen and Supervisors met yesterday afternoon in the Common Council Chamber, and proceeded to adopt the report of their committee on the amount of taxes required to be raised for the support of the municipal gov- ernment for the ensuing fiscal year.

The Trouble Between Inspector Folk and Chief Engincer Tom Nevins=Ex- citement Over the Affair—A Commauni- cation from the Owner of the Planing Mill—Charges Against the Chief of the Fire Department. The trouble between Chicf Engineer Tom Nevins and Inspector John 8, Folk, at the fire at Osborne's planing mill, corner of Columbia and Baltic streets, on Saturday night, has caused considerable com- ment. Those who know the Inspector are rather surprised that he did not strike the Chief Engineer when the latter put his hands on him. It is also said that if he had struck the Chief he would have been assailed by the members of the ire Department. In that event there would have been 4 conflict between the police and firemen, and the latter would have been aided by the rough crowd of spectators, The Chief Engineer did not get to the fire until it was well under control, and then assailed the In- spector in language unfit for publication. Several who heard him were of the impression that he was under the influence of liquor, but Mr. Osborne, the Pye rietor of the mill, forwards the subjoined note in defence of Mr. Nevins’ sobriety, which explains itself:— 5 ‘ RooRLY, August , 1872, To rm Error or mr Herat :— ry in your isis of yesterday, containing an account of the pian!

Al Two Cases of Silks, Valued at 625,000, Myste- ie viously Hidden Away—The Practice and the Perseverance of the Polico—An Owner ‘Wanted-A Slight Clew Found. Several parcela of slike, valued at $25,000, were seized yesterday by Captain Sanders, of the Six- teenth precinct, in the public store house of HI. G. Haegar, at 282 Ninth avenue. It appears tho goods were removed to that place on Thursday last from an unoccupied store at #04 West Thirty-ninth street by @ cartman, who was suspicious about the con- tents of the cases he was hired to remove, and went to Captain Sanders and told him of his suspi- cions, Superintendent Kelso directed Captaim Sanders to watch the premises where the goods were stored, Detective Noble, of the Sixteenth precinct, was then detailed to watch Haegar's store. When Captain Sanders had posted the ofMcers he went to the premises 304 West Thirty-ninth street, from where the cactman told him the goods were taken, The Captain was in citizen's dress, and when ho arrived at the store inquired for the principal of the establishment, He found the agent of the property after a search, and to him a proposal was made to rent the shop at 304 for a fish store. He told Captain Sanders it had been let for a month to a gentleman who was going to open a cigar store; but, although the parties had held the premises eight days and had paid a month’s rent in advance, there was as yet no sign of Aur business. pa they not bring any goods yet?” inquired the ptain, “Oh, yes,” answered the agent, “a carman bronght two boxes of tobacco hore, but another one took them away again.’ The Captain then explained who he was and ex- pressed a desire to see the store. He was at once shown the place, but it was completely empty, Tt consisted of a narrow, rather deep shop, that had beon last used as a policy shop, and a little back room. Theve apartments, the agent explained, had been rented to a gentleman for one month, who had paid the rent and had not been seen since, The ony time the Bhon, had been opened since the day {t was let was first when the two cases, pui porting to contain tobacco, were left there, and Qgain when they were taken away, Finding that nothing further could be arrived atin that quarter, Captain Sanders reported progress to Superintena- ent Kelso, who instructed fim to continue tho Watch upon the public store house and walt to see if any one should come to claim the goods, This was done, and no one putting In an appearance up to yesterday morning Supezintendent Kelso de- cided to have the cases opened. Tho captain, accompanied by Detective Nobie, wen to the store. Oficer Perkins was there on duty, and the three at once proceeded to open the cases, ‘The two cases contained eighty-two pieces of handsome French silks, somo of which were black grounds, with colored and white stripes, and others with gray grounds, with black hair gies The goods were then removed in the canes to the Sixteenth precinct station house and thoroughly examined. The pieces were found to be all entire; but the tickets usually attached to imported goods of that description were torn off, showing conclusively that the boxes had been opened and that THE GOODS WERE STOLEN, The Fee were tied carefully in the regular way, and looked as af they had only just been brought from Europe. Dismaiyed at first by the discovery that all clew to the identification of the property een swept away Captain Sanders set himscif and the oficers to work to find if the thieves had not left some distinguishing mark behind, Alter opening every piece and searching between the papers and trying all the ends, and when tie work of discovering a connecting link seemed fruitless the eyes of the Captain were delighted by the ap- pearance of a bit of white paper stuck between the palaey that lined the box and the case itself. He immediately pounced upon this, and it turned out fortunately to be one of the missing tickets, Here, then, at last was a road open to the owners. Upon the ticket were printed in heavy gilt letters “A. 7," and, in writing, the importer’s number of the piece and the number of French aunes it con- tained, As the two letters no doubt tadicate either the firm that made the goods or the people for whom he's ihe manufactured there can be now no diftl- culty TRACING OUT AN wna, for in all probability the house to which the goods were consigned will find asimilar mark upon the invoice forwarded to thom, unless tho silks have been smuggled into this country, and then, of course, the hunting for an owner would be a fruit- less occupation. One singular circumstance Is that the cases, although certainly of foreign make, have no custom house or other mark upon them, It is supposed the goods must have been stolen from a wharf almost immediately after being landed, or that they have been taken trom a ponded warehouse, with the connivance of an oilictal. Part of the silk has been identified by Messrs. Autliff & Co. of Greene street. Cap- tain Irving detailed Detectives Dusenberry and Dunne to find the man who hired the store and caused the removal of the cases, The carman de- scrived him to Captain Sanders as a stout man, of medium stature, with a rather florid complexion and wearing a mustache. He wore a gray coat and drab felt hat. He had the quick, sharp manner of a man accustomed to give ora and seemed in no way nervous over the busin: 3 he had in hand, On the night of the 19th of May last the liqnor saloon of John W.
