: , ‘FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The Tug of War Between the “Bulls” and “Bears.” BATTLE ROYAL IN PACIFIC MAIL Hot Skirmishing Along the Whole Line.

Reported Settlement of the ‘¢ Shorts” at a Loss of $800,000. “HENRY” SUCCUMBS TO “DANIEL” The Erle Defented Forces Now Concentrating Against Pacific Mail. Advance of the Bank of England Rate of Discount to 4 1-2 Per Cent. WALE STREET, } THURSDAY, Sept. 26—6 P. M. On ’Change to-day cotton was in fair demand both for “spot”? and “futures,” and the market tasy. Flour remained quiet and steady, while ‘wheat and corn were in fair demand and firmer, MONEY UNSETTLED. The money market was a repetition of its history for several days past, except that at the period of most activity the ‘squeeze’ was severer to-day, and as high as 34 per cent was pald for a moment by some borrowers, who thought they foresaw a re-enactment of the stringency of last week, The earlier dealings were at 7 per cent currency to 7 per cent gold, the inquiry growing active until near two o’clock, when the standing bid for some time was 1-16 and interest, af which period occur- red the } per cent transactions just referred to. ‘The subsequent MAREET ON THE SIDEWALK ‘Witnessed a gradual relaxation until three o'clock, ‘when loans were made at 4 per cent. At five min- ates past three o’clock one loan was made at 6 per cent, and at the very close of the street business 7 per cent was bia, with no money offered. The reader is ‘at liberty to take the above facts and @etermine to his own satisiaction what the real ene for money was. THE BANK OF ENGLAND directors, at their usual weekly meeting this fore- moon, raised the minimum of the discount rate to 4% per cent from 4 per cent, the previous figure. The London quotations came a little lower this afternoon in consequence, but the changes are not important, the ’67’s being 924%, against 9244 at the Dpering. Subsequently jt was al nounced that the ‘bullion acceount of the bank showed a loss of “$424,000 for the week. The FOREIGN EXCHANGP market was rather steadier alter the news of the Bavance in the discount rate, and sight sterling ‘was even firmer, but quotations remained as before, wiz,, 107% a 107% for prime sixty-day sterling and 109 a 1094¢ for sight bills. Mercantile paper was quict and neglected and quoted 8 a 12 per cent discount, taking the range of sates for the several grades of prime notes, GOLD STEADY—11374 a 114, ‘The gold market was steady at 1137 a 114, which were the only prices recorded during the day. The Glique seemed operating to induce a short interest, and were content to buy steadily all that was Offered at 118% without intimidating the “shorts” dy running the quotation to a higher figure. In pursuance of their plans they drew upon their bal- ances in the gold bank to the extent of $1,760,000, which amount they drew out in goid from the Met- fopolitan Bank and LOCKED Ur. ‘This is as much of their locking-up transactions in gold as transpired this afternoon, and may be only a portion of their day's work. Itis a curious coincidence that the $1,760,000 is just about the cash proceeds of the 20,000 shares of Northwestern pre- ferred stock which the clique sold recently in order to get funds to proceed with their operations in the market. The course of the market is shown in the table:— 14 2P.M. 118% 2:60 P. perl 8 P.M wee A 4PM... In the gold loan market the rates ranged from @ per cent for carrying to 1-32 for borrowing.

The bids for the government gold called for a total of $6,060,000, at prices ranging from 113 to 114.07.

The announcement of the advance in the Bank of England rate of discount caused a heavy feeling at the opening of business on the Stock Exchange, especially as the opportunity was taken advantage of by the “bears” to depress prices by tree sales of the leading stocks. Their efforts wore directed against Pacific Mail chiefy, and the “bull and “bear” cliques in that specialty had a desperate struggle all day long. The “bear” clique had worked the price down to 71, and were congratulat- ing themselves that success was at hand, when suddenly the “bulls” TURNED THE TIDE, and put the price back to 715s. Here the “bears” in turn tightened money, and by throwing upon the Market for cash some five thousand shares, which tney had borrowed for the purpose, caused a de- cline to 70%; but, as money relaxed soon after to 4 per cent, the price shot up again, going this time to 72%, the best point of the day, and taking with it the rest of the market, which was generally highest at the close, The collapse of the Erie “corner” was quite evident this afternoon, although in the fore- noon as high as 14 per cent was the rate for cash stock. It is said that the Smith-Gould party SETTLED WITH DANIEL DREW at a cost to them of about $800,000, incinding their previous losses from day to day in borrowing the stock. The story is given for what itis worth, In view of the fact that the clique sold their North- western preferred there is little doubt that they have been heavy losers in their recent operations, When the clique were defying the “corner,” by sup- plying the bids for cash stock each afternoon in the transactions ‘under the rule,” it was thought they had vanquished their venerable opponent. He reserved his trump card for the last and taught them a trick worth two of theirs. He caused the question of the legitimacy of their conduct to be in- vestigated at the Board. The governing commit- tee considered it at a special meeting on Wednes- day, and ruled that the EVASION OF CONTRACTS, as practised by the ‘shorts’ in Erie, was suscepti- ble of the punishment meted out to cases of “ob- vious fraud.” The clique perceived their last chance of breaking the corner defeated by this decision, Like Captain Scott’s coon, they came down without further parley. Erie declined from 505; to 48 in face of the letter of the President of the road refuting the recent whole- sale charges of mismanagement and corruption in the new administration of the road. The earnings for the third week in September show a decrease of $9,749 as compared with last year, the total gain since April 1, 1872, as compared with the corre- sponding period of 1871, being reduced to $12,009, NEW JERSEY CENTRAL and Lackawanna were quiet and % a 1per cent better. The recent advance in coal, if not a spas- modic matter, is likely to exert a beneficial effect upon these stecks and Erie, The Pacific Mail party suffered Panama to lie in abeyance at 142, The directors of the Murray HillBank have declared a dividend of $4 a share, payable October 1.

Tuurepay, Sept. 26-6 P. M. There was an increased movement in general trade circles to-day, and, despite the adverse inferences of a rain storm, which prevents the moving of merchandise in many cases, a fair business was consummated, the volume of trade showing a decided increase over that of yesterday. One of the most noteworthy features of the mercantile world just now fs the activity in the shipping interest, which enables shipowners and agents to estab- lish an improvement in the rates of freight almost every twenty-four hours. The call for room on both steamersand sailing vessels for ports in the United Kingdom continues active, and rates of Ireight for grain were again further advanced to-day. Vessels for charter are still in active though charterers demur to paying the extreme einanded. The movement in cotton was moderate, ui the market was engy, On ‘Change there was a more active movement in breadstuis, particular! an ices were a trifle higher, the market closing he enhancement. Corn was likewise a trifle firmer, with demand, for shipment, the mar- i ere was more doing in Tk, holders having granted a slight concession. with decidedly more demand. Of *Change there was but little change from yesterday, the rain acting as a check upon transactions. In the, grocery pars there was ho movement of particular intere: Naval stores attracted more attention, and, under mod- erate offerings, sellers were enabled’ to obtain better prices. No special change has occurred in the market for refined petroleum, but crude has again advanced under favorable advices from the Creek and Oil City.

Henry Burhtner, a Norwegian, fifty years of age, and about two years in the country, murdered himselt in a horrid manner in Newark yesterday morning. About ten o’clock he entered the read- ing rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association on West Park street and seated himself at a table. Very soon after a pistol report was heard, and presently the room, which had been vacant, was fiilled with people on a horrible siglt. Burhiner had a large horse pistol to his mouth, pointing upwards; and fired, head was blown off, the brains and skull being scat- tered around for twenty-five feet. No cause is as- signed for this dreadful act, except that deceased ‘was very unsettled in his mind for some time past and on several occasions told people that he was tired of living. He was a jeweller by trade, and appears to have been a pretty steady man. The body was removed to the Morgue, and will be m- terred without an inquest. AMERICAN MECHANICS, Seven Thousand Jersey Sons of Toil Defy the Elements and Parade in New- ark. Newark’s noble Broad street was a scene of un- usual liveliness yesterday, despite the shocking state of the weather, the occasion being a State parade, in regalia, of the Councils throughout New Jersey of the Order of United American Mechanics, In deflance of the elementa these horny-handed sons of clas A crowded into Newark all the fore- noon from different points in the State, until about one o'clock, when the proces. sion was formed, there were in line between ax and seven thousand persons. All were in re- gal ja, the marshals being eine galliards with eir plumed hats and gilt trimmings. Some thirty bande kept Up continual free concert, more mas- sive than melodeous, A arts of the’ parade was a triumphal car, which would have lent charms to a circus turnout, Among the paraders were Coun- cila from New York, Philadelphia rooklyn. The whole made up avery imposing demonstra- tion, Marching along Broad street, past the Coe Hall, the procession was reviewed by Mayor Rico and ‘tne Common Council. ‘The entire upper part of the | THE “RING'S” APPARITIONS. The Stee sf whe Old Charmea Cire! Never Left in Peace—The Rumors garding Connolly and Garvey Attorney General Barlow. The rumor was abroad yesterday that somethii important was about to transpire in the proceed: ings against the old members of the Tamman: Ring, now pending before the Grand Jury. It wi recklessly asserted by some addle-pated individ: uals that the indictment against Garvey had bee! quashed, and several other things were also sai which on cool reflection would seem to make tho} insulting imputation that our respected Attorne; General was little the t better for braina, WHAT RUMOR SAID. Connolly had turned State’s evidence and a promise had been entered into with him whereby he was to go his way unmolested without feeling the fearful weight of his sins, It now appears that, our Attorney General has in fact very little power, ifhe wished it, to make these negotiations with the absent ex-Comptroller, as the greatest question of| the hour is where he at present spends the gliding days of his existence, whether in Switzerland or| Juan Fernandez. Mr. Wheeler H. Peckham, the associate of Gen- eral Barlow in the prosecution of the frauds of the “Ring,” in the capacity of counsel of the Committee! of Seventy, preserves an imperturbable silence on the subject of the absurd stories mentioned above, not even deigning to deny them. A reporter, however, yesterday called upon At- tonnes General Barlow at his ofice and was courte- ously received. “General,” said he, after taking a chair, “what coming storm is this, casting its gloomy shadow before, because of which THE REMNANTS OF BABYLON are 80 pitiably agitated 7? wens know not,” he answered. “There is nothing startling afoot at present.’” “What is there new about the trials of the old members of THE CHARMED CIRCLE OF TAMMANY, eee Spell you have succeeded at last ig breakx inj ui ‘Only this and nothing more.’ Yesterday I sent’ notices to the defendants in the cases of municipal frauds and official a eee which Tam now i prorecntingg or in some instances where they could not be reached, to their attorney®, 7 of our Intention of pressing ‘their trials in October, when it has been arranged that they shall begin. | I did this so that when the day of trial comes there can be no excuses offered of non-] galt) and that all unnecessary delay will be thus obviated.” “Do you think that you can then press them rap- idly forward to an issue?” “I cannot say; but I hope so. I think that they can throw few effectual obstacles in our way now, and there seems to be a bright opportunity for the LONG-EXPECTED CONSUMMATION OF JUSTICE towards these great rascals,” “What is the truth of the story anet the indict- ment against Garvey has been quashe OH! WHERE, OH! WHERE 13 CONNOLLY? “There is no truth in it whatever. Garvey will be brought to trial if possible. Neither 1s it true that a compromise has been made with Connolly. We do not know where he is. He will be tried in: October if he can be found; but I do not expect. that he will ever turn up.” “Edo in tein that het ‘I do not think that he isin this country and di not expect his return,” cf is “4s there any such thing in existence as JAMES WATSON’S BOOK,’ the knowledge of which it is said haunts many 0%) the members of the “ring” who have not yet been» | indicted as would a sheeted ghost ?”? “No, sir. I never heard ot it except through the | perpen, and I do not believe it is in existence: if it ever was,” “And as tothe rumor that any other persons: wore to be indicted, which was stated a few days ago, is there any truth in it *” “No, sir, We will not make war upon ‘any one- else at present. There is, I believe, on foot a motion to quash two or there of our indictments which will be made in the General Sessions to- morrow, but I don’t thing it will be frought with mage far r to Our cause.’ fen mene ing adieu the renorier then took hia, MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. The Board of Aldermen, In this Board yesterday Alderman Radde pre-- sented a petition asking the appointment of a Ger- man Lutheran clergyman in the public institutions. The Committee on Law reperted that the Common Council could not compel the Board of Health te» abate the fat-boiling nuisance nor abate it them- selves. The committee also submitted an ordinance regulating the Jehus of tho city and defining the character of the inscription for name and number of the hack or vehicle, which was laidover, The Boat concurred in the resolution of the other branch o! the Common Council instructii has io ration Counsel to prosecute the direc Ae Points’ House of Industry for taking oassenloe: of Mission place.

Van Nort, by a “special”? request, to visit the cor- ner of Murray and Church streets and inspect for himself the wretched condition of the “special? pavement laid down in this street.
