WALL Street, WEDNESDAY, Sept. 18—6 P. ‘.} On 'Change to-day flour was quiet and wheat lower. The cotton market was heavy, but without important variation in price. THE EXPORTS OF THE WEEK, The aggregate exports of domestic merchandise from the port of New York for the week ending September 17, 1872, were $5,288,128. The following shows the exports, exclusive or specie, from New York to foreign ports, for the week ending September 18 and since the beginning of the year:— 1870, 1971. 1872.

Taking the situation at the close and making a comparison of prices at the Stock Exchange with those at the beginning of business, the result shows less brilliantly for the several parties concerned in the desperate specu- lations which led to the commotion. SECRETARY BOUTWELL, in offering the reiief of the resources of the Treas- ury Department, unlocked the door to the several “corners” and practically disposed o. them for the day. As to the relations of the principal operators and cliques, it 1s believed that their position as regards the market has not materially changed. Very naturally, the doings of Tucsday left the whole street in a nervous and sensitive state; so that when the Stock Exchange opened this morning there was a general pressure to sell, almost regard- less of prices, the bidder at anything near the pre- vious night's closing quotations generally getting the stock without delay. This feeling of anxiety was intensified by the concurrent news by the cable that the directors of TRE BANK OF ENGLAND, at an extra meeting called this forenoon, had raised the minimum of the discount rate to 4 per cent, as against 31; per cent, the previous rate, a haste to alter the Sgure which was interpreted to meana pretty active condition of the money market on the | other side, and might be supplemented by a further advance at the regular weekly meeting of the direc- tors on Thursday morning. This procedure of the Bank of England was already a foregone conclusion when the Bank of Prussia raised the rate to 5 per cent on Monday last, and the anticipation of it de- pressed our bonds in London on that day, giving the earlier impulse to the recent rise in our gold mar- ket, a fortuitous conjuncture of events which doubt- less stimulated THE ZEAL OF THE CLIQUE now operating for an advance in gold and a fall in the stock market, The alarm occasioned by this news had the effect of making the lowest prices of the day in stocks, for within the first half hour of business it was rumored that the gold clique had made a settlement with the veteran Daniel Drew, and the whole market became strong at once. In so confused @ mass of rumors and reports as pre- valled during tho day it was dimcult to get any- thing like a consistent statement of THE REAL SITUATION, but there is little doubt that the several parties stand in practically the same relation to each other as they did at the close of bysiness on Tucsday after- noon. It is possible that Mr. Drew has parted with @ great deal of his Erie, for which he found a Teady market, with a view to helping those of his brokers who are holding his other favorite stocks, He found it a proiitiess operation to pay a half per cent for the carrying of his Canton and Wabash in order to gratify his desire to press the “corner” im Erie, Indeed, Mr. Drew's participation in the game was doubtless a sudden thought, and his retirement may be as speedy @ conclusion. “Is this a {ree fight *” inquired the gentleman out West aftera few minutes of UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE in the combat into which he had entered on the | do., new, 48 a 55; do., levee sixes, 50 a 60; do, do. Being told again | assurance already that it was, that it was, he exerted h's prerogative of free will and withdrew. While all this is the purest specu- lation of the street as to Mr. Drew's doings, 1: is certain that the pool with which he took part have not given up their intemion of maintaining the “corner” in Erie, and threats are made that the stock will be kept ag scarce as ever. Whatever the controlling power to-day, Erie was in urgent demand, and was worth at one time as much as 1% per cent, the price rising to 534/, cash. This was an extreme and an exceptional rate, and gradually relaxed until, at the close, the stock was OFPERED aT “PLAT” or free of interest upon the currency collateral ad- vanced against it. This was, in fact, the culmina- tion of the Erie ‘corner’ for today, whatever may be done in the future upon a renewal of the effort to continue the speculation. The next principal incident of the day, the clew that unravelled the maze of speculation and relaxed the money market, was the purchase from the street by the Secretary of the Treasury of TUREE MILLIONS OF BONDS, for which over three and # quarter millions of cur- rency was exchanged. It is true that only $),330,000 of the bonds were sent in for cash to-day, but the moral effect of the transaction was fully as opera- tive as if the whole sum had come forth. The total offerings of bonds were about tour and three-quar- ter millions at 110.87 to 112.75, The accepted lots were obtained at 110.87 @ 111, Meantime money had opened as nearly as might be at an eighth per cent for the day's use and had hardened to a quar- ter per cent, equivalent to about 90 PER CENT PER ANNUM, But the anticipation of a large acceptance of bonds at the Sub-Treasury caused a gradual relaxation, and the eventual appearance of the Treasury mo- hey in the street seeking employment for the night caused a decline in the interest rate to 6 per cent before three o'clock, the quotation for money closing 6 a7 per cent, and no inquiry oXisting after banking hours save such as came from some few NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER. 19, 1872.—TRIPLE, SHEE. parties who had made an error or oversight in the calculation of their balances. For MERCANTILE PAPER there is as yet no reliable quotation, owing to the condition of the call loan market. Foreign ex- change continued unsettled, although nominally quoted 108 for prime sixty day and 100 for sight sterling bills, the concessions from these rates for cash transactions being in direct proportion to the rates for the use of gold in the loan market, Thus prime sixty day sterling sold at one time at as low as 107, and later in the day was quoted 107% & 107%, when the rate for the use of gold had changed by the corresponding one-half percent, The ex- porting merchants have been throughout the past two days unhappy spectators of the doings in Wall street, their interests having suffered most acutely from THE GOLD “CORNER,” The gold market opened at 114%, but fell off gradually to 114, with a simultancous disclosure of weakness on the part of the clique, who found the demand for cash gold supplied from some outside and mysterious source. They had meantime put the borrowing rate up to as high as 1 per cent for the day, or, in other words, compelled gome of the “shorts” to pay as much as $100 currency for the use Of each $10,000 gold requisite to their deliveries. The highest quotation on MERSEREAU'S BOOK was only % per cent, owing to arule of the Board which forbids the recording of @ transaction after others have gone upon tho register, extreme there wasa relaxation to From this “gat” or no interest, and, in an exceptional instance, a small consideration was pald for carrying. The clique had meantime put gold back to 11494, but it again declined this time to 113% and closed finally at 114, The discomfture of the clique in their operations in money and gold was only partially ofset by the easier terms on which they procured their Erie, The story was circulated at the close that they did not intend to bid for THE GOVERNMENT GOLD to-morrow, for the reason, may be, that they wish Mr. Boutwell to know how much the mercantile interest is really in need of gold, and how much of the “short” interest in the market is of a purely speculative character, On the other hand, it was conjectured that by keeping away from the Sub- Treasury they would reduce the amount of bids, and thus not only encourage the short interest to persevere in the speculation for a deciine, but draw aless amount of gold into the strect. Whatever their real design, they appear to have determined at a late hour to-day to renew their efforts to “corner” both gold and money, and with this view they have begun LOOKING UP GREENBACK, and gold. Two of the leading members of the clique engaged a carriage this afternoon and be- tween two and three o'clock went around to the banks and demaniled and obtained greenbacks for the certified checks which had come to them in the way of business and which represented the cash capitalofthe pool, From the Bank of the State they drew out about $900,000 in greenbacks and carried the notes away with them. At one bank they pre- sented a check for gold, and, being requested to call again for itin a little while, said it would be all the same to them if the bank would keep the GOLD ON DErosir against the check. It is not known what amount was thus locked up in greenbecks and coin, but the action of the clique was rumored about the strect and had the effect of depressing the stock market in the closing dealings of the day and making 4 smart reaction from the strength which prevailed upon the easy termination of the rates for money, The wide fluctuations of the past two days have occasioned the suspension of two firms— viz., Farnham, Gilbert & Uo., of Wall street, and How- ard, Ivins & Co., of Nassau street. They were both “long” of stocks and were unable to follow the de- cilne in the market. THE VANDERBILT POOL supported their favorite stocks throughout the worst of the contest, and Union Pacific was cven advanced to 40, while C. 0. and I. C. was lifted back to 3634, @ “corner” in the former if not in the latter being promised as among the possibilities of the future. The advance in Union Pacific was assisted by arumor that negotiations are pending for its consolidation with the Central Pacific Railroad, In the decline this morning Harlem gold at 1094, New Jersey Central at 10254 and Panama at 126, In Philadelphia Reading broke to 109%, recovered to 112 and closed at 111.4%. The Second Avenue Rail- road Company have declared a quarterly dividend of $2 @ share, payable October 10, the transfers closing September 30, GOVERNMENTS FEVERISI, CLOSING STRONG. The government bond market was feverish and during the early boards weak, with a decline of % a1 per cent in prices, taking the range of the seve- ral gold and currency issues. The 67's sold at 112% and the currency sixes at 111%. But with the pur- chase of three millions of bonds by the Treasury and the relaxation in money at the close there was a sudden rebound, and prices not ouly recovered all they had lost, but gained a trifle besides. The fol- lowing were the closing quotations :—United States currency sixcs, 111% @ 11244; do, do., 1881, regis- tered, 1133¢ & 113%; do. do. do., coupon, 115 @ 11534; do, flve-twenties, registered, May and November, 113% a 114; do. do., 1262, coupon, do., 113%{ 0 114; do. do., 1864, do. do., 113% 9114; do. do., 1865, do. do., 114 &114%; do. do,, 1867, registered, January and July, 112% a 118; do. do,, 1865, coupon, do., 112% a 113; do, do., 1867, do, do., 113%% a 11314; do, do., 1868, Go. do., 11314 a 115} lo, ten-forties, registered, 1073, @ 107%; do. do., coupon, 10744 a 107%; do. fives of 1881, registered, 111 a 111%; do. do. do., coupon, lll a 111.

MASON, Noct Chi THE WALL STREET “CORNERS.” a The Excitement on the “Street” Yesterday, and What It Amounted To—The “Corners” and the Opinion of Outsiders on the Chances of the Cornorites, The bulls and bears had a high old time of it yea- terday in Wall street. The ‘‘corners” in the stock and gold markets which had made many of them pass a rather uncomfortable night of it on Tuesaday were, it is true, not as dangerous looking as they might have been had several “ifs” and “ands” gos a8 Well into play, in the financial phrase-making of the street, as the Tuesday night outlook gave token they would; but there was an unmistakable feeling of uncasiness on all sides, and even a stranger, uB- used to the everyday excitement and hunbub of the Mammon worshippers’ temple on Broad street, could not have failed to notice that there was a screw loose somewhere in THE MACHINERY OF VHB SPECULATORS. The money article which appeared in the HeRanp yesterday, too, besides putting the unsophisticated on their guard against the storm that threatened to swamp every small boat that dared to ventme out too far from shore, had given “outsiders” @ peep behind the scenes and a good view of the real cause of the stringency in the money market, and thus enabled them to fight shy of shoals so long as the skies looked threatening. Indeed, the usual frequenters of the street, the professional game- sters as well as the small fry who are always on hand to do a little business on their own account whenever the “regulars” are in @ snarl and there is Pocus of a scramble for spoils among the big fellows in the ‘“cor- ners,” seemed yesterday to have risen at @ much earller hour than usual. Long before the usual time for the openlig of pusiness many of the operators, looking rather sleepy and fagged out, uy in an Appearance at their offices, and not a few Janitors, who depend upon the “regularity” of their employers to enjoy an extra hour’s nap in morning, were yet sweetly sleeping off the effects of the poteen ofthe night previous. As the day wore on p THE GENERAL NERVOUSNESS of the street became more and more ms gte and all sorts of rumors were set afloat to aifect ire, pearance of things. There were those, in who anticipated a “pawn” before the day wag over, and began taking in sail accordingly. What lent additional fuel to the excitement wus the an- nouncement during tho afternoon of the failure of two firms on account of the fall in the stock mar- ket, About two o'clock the vicinity of the Stock Exchi was crowded by expectants of the “out- side” ilk, who had come to see and hear all that could bé soen and heard, and enjoy, after tl fashion of all curiosity-seeking crowds, the tortures and sufferings of the miseravles who might under if there was a crash in the market, course the operations of old man Drew and Tlenry Smith were the chief t pic of con- versation, and, in fact, A ge them, in the opinion of the manf, hinged the fate of Vall strect operas fora few days at least, Speculation was rife as to which Party would come out ahead, and people who had nothing to fear or hope for, no matter what the upshot of the “corners” might bein the long ran, made thelr lit- tle bets as freely about the matter as though they were simply wagering on A THIRD RATE HORSE RACE, The odds seemed to be in favor of Smith, but the friends of the “old man” appeared to be confident that he would come out ahead in the end, a every dodge the other side could resort to. a it became rumored about, late in the afternoon, that @ compromise had been made by the men at the wheel in the corner boats, the excite- ment on the street diminished considerably. It was the belief of many operators at the close business on the street that the lull which followed the sort of half scare of the morning would turn out to-morrow to be a quiet forerunner of A HEAVY StoRM yet tocome. There are those, however, among the old foxes of the street who asserted that there was no cause for appreliension, and that all statements that in anywise tond to produce additional excite- ment are not only mischievous, but vold of founda- tion in fact, The doings of to-morrow or next day Will tell the tale, and in the meantime outsidera had better keep out of the fight, lest they may go down when they least expect to founder, A SENSATION SPOILED. Funeral Delayed—Unfounded Suspicion, Quite an excitement was occasioned yesterday afternoon by the detention of a funeral procession, which was. about passing over the Houston strect ferry en route to one of the cemeterics, It ap peared that Miss Isabella Hewly, a lady in advanced years, who had been an inmate of the Old Lady's Home, 226 East Twentieth street, had been taken sick and died at the house.of Mr. A. Stewart, 21¢ West 125th street, The attending physician gave s certificate of death, on which the Board of Healt® granted a burial permit, and the funeral was an- nounced for yesterday afternoon, In the meas time the Kev, Charles 8, Smyth, pastor of the American Presbyterian church, called at the Board of Health with some complimentary resolu tions touching the life and character of Miss Hewly, who had been a member of his church, and at the same time expressing some doubts as ta the cause of her death, also betas i @ delay of the faneral till the Coroner could make an investi tion. The reverend doctor was referred to City Hall, and made known his business to Coroner Young, who with his usual promptitude took the mattor In charge, and in company of Dr. Vande; water, of the Ceutre Stroet Hospital, proceeded to an undertaker's, in the Bowery, where the body had been deposited. Dr. Vande water, In examining tie body, found that death — had resulted from enteritis and cystic degeneration of both kidneys, with large, fatty liver, There was not the least suspicious circumstance connected with Miss Hewy's bane | and the unnecessary delay and expense incur by the relatives and friends of deceased is due to the unwavrantable interference of persons whe seemed to have noconcern tn the matter whatever. Owing to the delay caused by Coroner Young's om- cial investigation it was found necessary to post jone the funeral ceremonies till to«lay. Mr. corge Brisely, sexton of St. George's church, and having charge of the funcral ceremonies, as well a@ the frends of deceased, were greatly out in their feelings by the untoward event so caused,
