| | | | | A FURTHER ADVANCE IN GOLD. Snocess So Far of the Latest Pro- gramme of the Clique. Continued Scarcity of “Cash” Gold. A STEADY MONEY MARKET. ‘The Rates on Call 4 and 5 Per Cent, with Ex- ceptional Transactions at 3 Per Cent, The New Treasury Currency Certificates. THE FOREIGN EXCHANGES EASIER A Slowly Rising Stock Market. The Speculative Feeling Cautious and, “for the Present,” Bullish, ERIE STRONGER AND STEADY. e WALL STREET, } Wepnespay, August 23—6 P. M, Oh 'Change to-day wheat and flour were steady, with a tendency to firmness, Tne cotton market Was quiet, but not so strong. MONEY 3 4 6 PER CENT. There was a steady demand for money at 4 per cent during most of the day, and the dealings were on the basis of 4a5 per cent until very near three o’clock, when some small balances were loaned at Sper cent, This last rate is hardly quotable, how- ever, as acconnts had been generally made up, and the transactipns thereat were rather an exception to the market. Prime paper quoted at 714 a9 per cent discount, and buyers are not disposed to take other than short dates. Foreign exchange was heavy, with the continued acarcity of cash gold, and actual business in ster- ling was on the basis of 108% a 1037 for prime sixty- @ay bills and 10934 a 1095¢ for sight. THE TREASURY PURCHASE OF BONDS. The Assistant Treasurer received proposals of $4,584,800 bonds in answer to the advertisement to ‘buy @ million of five-twenties. The prices asked ranged from 112.23 to 112.99. The price of gold being 112% 8 113, the purchase of the entire million ‘was readily enabled, and was effected at 112.2348 112.45, Tne Sub-Treasury paid out, $322,000 on ac- count of interest on the public debt, and $9,000 in. tedemption of called bonds, ‘GOVERNMENTS HIGHER, A reaction in gold and the continued ease of the money market helped the recovery of the government bond list, prices advancing tully ®@ quarter per cent and holding, the improve- ment to the close, The large amount of Donds offered at the Sub-Treasury excited but little opposition apparently against the upward tendency of prices. The fact remains, however, that a good many holders of governments are ready to sell at a little improvement on current quotations. The tollowing were the closing prices:—United States currency sixes, 112% «@ 112%; do. do. sixes, 1881, registered, 1143¢ &1143 ¢do. do,, coupon, 11614 a 11634; do. five- twenties, registered, May and November, 114% a 114% ; do, Go., 1862, coupon, do., 11434 @ 114%; do. do., 1864, do., do., 114% a 1145; do. do., 1865, do. do., 114% a 115; do. do., 1867, registered, January and July, 1148 11434; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 1183¢ @ 113%; do. do., 1867, do., do., 114 @ 11434; do. do., 1868, do., do., 113% a 11444; do. ten-forties, registered, 108% @ 109; do. do., coupon, 112% a 118%; do. fives of 1881, registered, 111%{ @ 112; do. do. do., coupon, 111% a 112. GOLD STRONG—112% A 11334. ‘The gold market was strong under the continued effort of the recently organized pool, whose limit of 113 a 11354 was pretty nearly reached to-day. At least they were credited with selling a great deal of gold at 11334 @ 113% all the time they were hold- ing the market at that quotation. The market opened strong, with the scarcity of cash gold in the early engagements for delivery at the Clearing House, and the price advanced from 112% to 113, but with the weakening of forelgn exchange fell back to 212%, Here the clique put on the pressure again and drove the price up to 1134. There will, doubtless be a good deal of figuring over the gov- ernment gold to-morrow, and the clique may pos- sibly make @ieint of taking it all. The course of the market is shown in the table:— In the gold loan market the rates ranged from flat te 3-64 for borrowing. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follow: ‘ Gold cleared. $50,970,000 Cold balances. 1,789,215 Currency balances. 2,149,530 COMPARISON OF THE EXPORTS.

The Southern State bonds were neglected and generally steady.

STOCKS STRONG AND HIGHER, The stock market was strong and moderately active. A steady improvement in prices kept pace with the progress of bustness, and the highest quo- tations were madé at the close, the advance rang- ing from a half to nearly one and a half per cent, the latter extreme being exceptional in the case of St. Paul, which rese to 56%, The general improve- ment was % 8 % per cent. New York Central par exemple closed at 99, the story of a ten per cent scrip dividend’ being revived for the fourth time this summer. Erie was comparatively steady, its widest fluctuation being only one per cent. To- morrow Will be wétimo, a second fortnightly settling day of the London Stock Exchange, From the tenor of the Erle quotation there to-day there is evidently less apprehension of trouble among tho “pulls. The stock here was quite scarce, and worth a small consideration for deliveries, THR LATE HENRY H. WARD. at the meeting of the Stock Exchange this fore- noon Messrs, Charles Graham, W. A. Smith and Edmund 4. Miller, the committee appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of tho Board regarding the late Mr. Ward reported the following, which were adopted :— Resolved, That the members of the New York Stock Exchange have received with deep regret intelligence of the decease at Saratoga of Mr. Henry BE Ward, for many years a member of Stock Xchange. Henolved ‘That by his decease not ony, are we deprived of an esteemed associate, but the whole business community of a toned and honorable man of business, whose word was his bond, ever to be held sacred and inviolate, and whose example sheds lustre upon this association, with which was so long connected. iL Resolved, That while we feel how heavy must be the loss of so kind and gentle a@ friend to his more intimate companions a8 well as to his family and dependents, yet we venture to offer to them our sincere condolence, being well assured that this to them, as well ag to us, severe loss, is to him who has been taken from us gain Indeed. Resolved, That the members of the Stock Ex- change will attend the funeral service of the de- ceased on Friday, the 30th instant, at ten o'clock A, M., and that the morning call of stocks on that day be dispensed with as @ mark of respect to his memory. By order of the Governors the Stock Exchange will remain closed on Friday until eleven o'clock. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

Down in Wall street some parties have gone so far as to offer wagers that the HERALD was the real author of the anti-Stanley commotion, in order that popular attention might be more closely attracted to the glory of the achievement, It takes all kinds of people to make @ world. f Pons al SALES AT THE NEW YORK STOOK EXCHANGE, ‘Wednesday, August 28—10:15 A.

THE SINEQURISTS OF THE COURTS. Another Pack 1 Fal Cry on the Public Treasury. The claims of an additional lot of Court oMcers have been lately brought before the Courts on & mandamus, others having been disposed of pre- viously. It has been the practice to surround the Court of Oyer and Terminer with a gang of men who were appointed temporarily to attend at its sessions and: act as Constables or Deputy Sheriffs. These officers were compensated by the Board of Supervisors at a per diem allowance, and a very large expense in the aggregate had to be borne by the connty for those services, One of these ofivers recently bronght nis case before the Supreme Court to compel, by mandamus, the Board of Audit to allow his claim, It was con- tended on the part of the county that this was not & justifiableclaim. The Suproime Court, of which the Oyer and Terminer is a part, had a large number of Court attendants which should have per- formed all of the duty required by the Court of Oyer and Terminer. Yearly salaries are allowed fo these officers, and no additional ones can be needed, and the appolatment of others todo this nominai dutyis only a specious pretext to enlist the services of political parasites among the follow- ers of some local leader by procuring these gratui- ties from the city and county treasury. Much dissat- isfaction was felt by the politicians generally at the course pursued by Comptroller Green on his acces- sion to office in reducing the number of Court at- tendants from more than two hundred to about one-half of that number, and thus throwing out of empioyment a large number of worthy persons who were very valuable at the local primaries, At the very time in 1871 when these services are alleged to have been rendered, the extraordinary number of 210 persons besides were drawing sala- rics as Court attendants, Another crowd of claimants, who claim for ser- vices performed in 1870, under appointment of Sheriff O'Brien, are awaiting the issue of the pres- ent case to press their claims to take money irom the public treasury. Some of tho very men at present making this ex- traordinary demand held other appointments under the county and were receiving pay for such service. This question of dual salaries has been long since exploded, and it 1s hoped that an active resistance will be made to these claims before they are disposed of. THE PUBLIO MARKETS, The following important order has been issued in regard to the change of the hours for the closing of the business of the public markets of the city and the cleansing of the same:— Cirr or New Your, Duranrwent or Prvance, Comprnouixn’s Ovrior, Bonxav or Manxxrs, August 22, 1872, hereby given that on and alter the Ist day of Septe: the hours of closing business of the several stands jit the Washington, West Washington, Ful- ton, Clinton and Catharine Markets will be changed’ from five o'clock P.

GREEN, Comptroller. ‘Tuomas M. Dx Vox, Superintendent of Marke! PAYMENT TO THE OITY LABORERS, Comptroller Green paid yesterday along the line of the work, through his Paymaster. Mr. Moor Falls, the wages due up to August 13 to the laborers on the small pipes and those engaged on the cobble- stone pavement, Upon the completion of this Payment, which amounts to almost twenty thousand dollars, all the laborers in the em- ploy of the city will have received the wagea due them to the 15th inst. In thus facilitating the audit and payment of the pay rolls of the workmen Comptrolicr Green has pleased them exceedingly, for during many years they have been obliged to wait a longer time before ~ ting paid. During his long experience with public works, while he bas been always rigid in requiring proner authority for the employment of men, he as been equally solicitous for the welfare of the workmen in procuring prompt payment of their well-earned wages, ANOTHER GERMAN SHOOTS HIMSELF, Some months ago Antonio Henning, a German, twenty-one years of age, opened a butcher's shop in First avenue, near Eighty-first street, but, hav- ing active competition in the business, made a dis- astrous failure, which so disheartened him as to cause excessive depression of spirits. On Tuesday night, armed with a five-barrelled revolver, he pro- ceeded to an open lot near his residence and Placing the muzzle of the weapon in his mouth discharged it, probably causing death almost tn- stantly, Shortly before eight o’clock yesterday morning Officer McGuire, of the Twenty-third pre- cinct, found the dead body of Heuning, with blood ooz'ng from his mouth, with the pistol firmly in his right hand, The body was removed ana Coroner Schirmer notified to’ hold an inquest.
