There was a better inquiry for money, and the rate on call averaged fully 5 percent, The earlier dealings were at 4 per cent, succeeding which the rate hardened to 6 per cent, and the quotation be- coming 5a6 per cent, @ good many loans were made at as high as 6 per cent. Eventually the deal- Ings closed at 5 per cent, more being offered on the same terms, The Chicago papers report a more active demand for money in that city, and pre- dict a POSSIBLE STRINGENCY atamearly day. The rates of domestic exchange are not such aSto warrant any lieavy shipments from this city ag yet, and the country banks are Qrawing only for small amonnts to meet current needs. Foreign exchange was quict and steady on the basis of 108 a 10834 for prime bankers’ sixty- flay sterling, and 109 a 10944 for sight sterling. The Bank of Prussia is reported to have advanced the discount rate from 4 to 5 per cent. This action will probably be responded to by the Bank of England on Thursday. GOLD STRONO—113% A 118%. The gold market was strong on heavy purchases by the clique, who were in early possession of quo- tations from London, showing a decline in our securities in that market, the result, it is supposed, ofa decline on the Continent, occasioned In turn by the action of the Bank’ of Prussia, For a time the Qrmer tone of the premium was ascribed to the rumored demand of Russia for the abrogation of shat oft-mooted international peace-disturbing doc- ament, the TREATY OF PARIS; out whether this matter affected gold or not, the Jenial of the story later in the day {rom an authori- tative source failed to weaken the market, As for the effort of one party in the clique to punish the ether who had gone over to the enemy, little tign of hostility was seen, except that yoward the close cash gold was made worth 1-32 for the day's use, while 1-64 was bid for its use to-morrow. Indeed, it ‘s probable that the defection referred to was in she stock market only, and in Erie particalerly, the deserters merely selling out their gold, without placing themselves short of the market and con- Qning their “bear” operations to stocks, As It was, gold advanced from 11334 to 1134, and closed at 113%. The Sub-Treasury paid out $39,000 on ac- sount of interest and $6,000 on account ofredeemed five-twenties.

Meantime the rest of the market had been weakening with the better demand for money, amore active can- vassing of Saturday’s bank statement and the ap- prehension ofsome lil-deflned trouble abroad, a8 indicated in the falling off of our bonds in London and the report (before it was contradicted) that Russia had demanded the abrogation of the Treaty of Paris. Under these circumstances prices de- clined all arouud, and the market at one time had the look of drifting rapidly in the downward direc- tion, A succession of rallies ensued, and the stronger feature of the day, Union Pacific, seemed about redeemed, and was turned once more on the but a fevered feeling set in, and the market left off heavy and irregular, with the decline well pro- nounced, The earnings of the Ohio and Mississippi Railway for the month of August were $283,037 and in 1871 $272,812, an increase of $10,225. The Céntral Railroad Company of New Jersey offer to their stockholders and to the stockholders of the Dela- ware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company, pro rata, three million dollars of bonds, convertible into stock between November 1, 1875, and Novem- ber 1, 1877.

The Players are cautions, though no doubt to-day will make a change in the situation. On last Saturday morning the HERALD an- nounced that another great defaication had been discovered in Wall street. The victim this time, it Was stated, was 4 WELL-KNOWN BROKER Ramed William B. Clerke, doing business at No. 25 Broad street, and he was, a3 was reported, victim- ized. to the enormous amount of $78,436. Mr. Clerke, it was saia, had for years a confidential clerk, named Richard B, Butler, whom he had in 1865 associated with bimself as junior partner, and to whom the office and all its affairs were entrusted at intervals by Mr. Clerke. Tho latter, the week before last, pald a visit to his family at Newport and, from some private information he received on Monday, returned to town last week. TO HIS ASTONISHMENT, as the report ran, he discovered that Mr, Butler was absent from the oMce. Further investigation developed the fact that certain railroad stocks and certificates, representing the above amount in the agerogate, were missing from the safe in Mr. Cierke’s oMice. Inquiries were made in the street and it was found, as was said, that Mr. Butler HAD BEEN BUYING GOLD extensively and that the above stocks and cortif- cates had been given as collateral. Such was, substantially, the story ag told by Mr. Olerke bimself toa HeRavp reporter in an inter- view on Friday evening. At the samé ti was THE FIRST MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCR connected with the case. 1c. fet Teceipts, 4708 ales.” Exports coastwrise, 2,888! Sales, 1,900, im, Ie. mnidatings Tige, a 18346.

This request, it is believed, was compiied with before last Saturday, when Mr. Butler appeared at the signed his (Mr. Butler’ HERALD office. The next development took place on Saturday morning in the Supreme Court Chambers, when Judge Leonard, on the application of Messrs. Theasson & Bryan, of No. 10 Pearl street, Mr. Clerke’s lawyers, issued a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Butler in @ civil suit to recover $100,000 for the loss of the stocks and certificates above. ‘The foliowing is the substance of the affidavit of Mr. Clerke, upon the strength of which the warrant d and the bail ixed at $75,000, the sure- was signed ties to justify in $150,000:— William B, Clerke testifies on oath that on or atout the 5th day of September, 1872, he owned and possessed certain railroad stocks, as follows +—Certificates tor three hundred shares in the New York Central and Hudson River iron Company ; for | five hundred shares in the Lake Shore and Michigan South- ern Ratiroad Company, and for sixty-six shares in Railway Company, of the value of $78,436, against him in the some of $100,000. The afidavit of Mr. Clérke goes on further to say:— The certificates for sald stocks were the sole proj erty, of of the plaintiif, and were locked up on or about the St! September last in his safe at fhe out tl authority of the plaintiff, took allof the above railroad gcksene certificates of them from the safe of the plain- ans “OYPOTHECATED THE SAME” with the firm of P! chine business in acall cash; the said Arm holding all of said shares on col- said thes a Jnteral security; that jutler had. no authority or consent of said plaintiff to borrow said $79,000 or any other sum, or to iy potiecate the sald stocks at all, an the same was done by him WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PLAINTIFF: that Butler aa ap: ropriated all of the said $7 own use; that stocks or the $70,000 obtained mandéd, B, CLERKE, Similar affidavits on information and belief were submitted by Messrs, Theasson and Bryan. On potting Mpa the warrant was put into the hands of Mr. Judson Jarvis, Sheritf Brennan's Clerk of Arrests, for execution, Mr. Jarvis sent three of his specials to work UD, the case, but it was not until Rl ane morning that Mr. Butler was arrested at the Glenham Hotel, corner of Twenty- second street and Fifth avenue, where ke boarded, Mr. Jarvis and the special deputies say that every ovstacle was put in their way at the hotel, and that. if a threat EAK DOWN THE DOORS t i aolé to make the TQ BRI once the specials were re be the buildiag that the oficers would not have arrest.

The result was that at half-past six o’clock last night ho was brought ié must be premised to the further developments that have taken place that Mr. Cierke seemed most unwilling to answer several positive questions as to whether he believed the money had been actually stolen by Mz, Butler, put to him by tho Heratp reporter, and acted in every way unlike one who had been swindled out ofan immense sum of money by one in whom he had placed unlimited trust. “He gave Mr. Butler & most excellent character, and this ‘That ut the same date the defendant at the city of New York wrongfully took and converted the same to his own use, wherefore the plaintiff demands judgment fondant’s oillee, in this med Richard B.

After tit ot 3 the jocal preachers as a class Mr. Leigh proceeded te say that the District Conference plan was covertly and openly designed to take away the license of every local preacher. It gives tne District Con- ference the right not only ‘to suspend or re- fuse to renew the license of @ local Prencher, but it can also expel him from the fethodist Church. This power, as it was afterward shown, 1s now in the hands of the Quarterly Conference, He deemed it unworthy the land we live in and the civilizauon of the age, It is worse than a crime. It is a stupendous folly. Dr. Curry, bein; jeved because he could not keep laymen out of the Gen- eral Conference, said the speaker, determined be would keep them out of the Methodist pulpit. And he (Mr. Leigh) did not know any man 8o capable of auch @ piece of Jesuitical trickery 13 Dr. Curry. “No reater enemy has Methodism,’ said he, “than the Boctor and his ciass, aud would to God,” he added, “they would $o to Ritualism or to Romanism, where they belong.” Mr, Leigh regretted this tendency to JESUITISM IN THE METHODIST CHURG! and feared that the time may come when the edi- torial chairs of the Church will be filed with the spirit of Jesuitism. “Can it be possible,” he asked, “that Dr. Curry is placed at the head of a band to overthrow this order of Methodist preachers ?? While in England all classes of men, from the peer of the realm to the easant on the hillside, are licensed to preach the ospel, here we aim to be like the other sects, and build tine churches, richiy upholstered, Dice § grand organ and an operatic ‘quartet in (he pallor anda fancy minister (0 the ™ fit, and then expects that we baye ders ui that is required, It is this constiut eifort of Methodists to be like other secta tat has lost it its ancient power. The minister comes fresh from the colleges and the seminaric and has no sympathy with tie people, Heis learne ahd polished ana pecomes greav nog Mportant tm his own eyes, aud when he ascends the pulpit he ® monarch of all he surveys, and his right there ta none to dispute. The present policy of the Metho- dist Church denies that there are any God-sent ministers save those who come through collegea and seminaries and have studied certain books and formed’a certain class of opinions. In this style Mr. Leigh continued for three-quarters of an hour, when Rev, Mr. CoTTrgRr, another local acher frome Brooklyn, took the floor to reply to Mr. Leigh's TIRADE UPON THE TRAVELLING PREACHBI and to disclaim upon the part of the great body of local preachers in the United States any sympathy with the views and sentiments contained in Mr. Leigh's paper. He discarded all the hard names used by his brother Leigh, and was amazed to hear him 50 bitterly oppose district conferences. Dr. 8. D, BRowN, La elder, also regretted that Mr. Leigh should have presented such a paper, because it wullexert a bad iniluence. He denie that district conferences had any tendency te alienate the clergv and the laity of the Methodist Churca or to disgrace the local preachers, He be lieved there was no want of harmony between the local and the travelling ministers. Rev. Mr. BARBER, another local preacher from Brooklyn, regretted both the words of Mr. Leigh and the spirit in which they were uttered, They do not represent either the spirit or the boi of the local preachers; and neither are by the authort- ty nor have they the endorsement of that body. No brother in the local ranks is afraid of being ex- elled by the District Conference unless he deserves 0 be, aud in such case he knows of no body mora capable of exercising that power, He objected to the word “bummers,” used by Dr. Curry. It was an unfortunate word, but yet it is a fact that the local preachers are unorganized HANGERS-ON TO THE REGULAR MINISTRY of the Methodist Church, and Dr. Curry was right. Mr. Barber sald that tiore is but one Methodist mission in Brooklyn, with its population of 450,008 souls, and the policy of moving up town is hr d aed throwing large districts into the mission fle! What the local preachers want ls some organized system of work and the weeding out of the drones and “loaiers” that are now carried along by the body. There are a thousand places in New York and Brooslyn that might be pergt is) to-day were there some such organizatiun as that provided for in the District Conicrence plan, Rev. G, L, TAYLOR explained the military mean- ing of the word “bummers,”’ and said that, rightly understood, it was an honor rather than a degrada- tion to be one, and he was ready to hurrah for the bummers. Dr. CurRY made a few personal explanations to his use and meaning of the word a9 a military hirase, after which, on motion of Mr. Dickinson, he subject was continued till next Monday, when some further revelations will be made, THE OANNSTADT VOLKSFEST. The annual festival of the Suabians, known as the Cannstadt Volksfest, given under the auspices of the Cannstadt Volksfest Association, was com- menced at Jones’ Wood yesterday, where some three thousand persons of our resident Suabian populace were in attendance during the day. The festival will be continued to-day and to-morrow, and it is expected, in case tle weather ts clear, that an attendance of at least twenty thensapd persous will be secured.
