FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. The Financial Situation as Affected by Political Developments. The Georgia Election and Its Suggestions. A DECLINE IN THE STOCK MARKET Advance of the Bank of England Rate of Discount. GOLD UP TO 115 14. Normal Influences Intensified by Clique Interference, oe THE MONEY MARKET STRINGENT. —_—- ‘The Inconsistent Relations of Gold and the Foreign Exchanges. Why the Bank of England Raises the Discount Rate. Food for Financial Philosophic Thought. WALL STRERT, TauRspay, Oct. 2-6 P, iu} @n Change to-day cotton was in good demand pnd an 3c. per pound better. Flour remained Bteady, while wheat and corn were rather easier, ‘but not quotably lower. Operations and business in the Wall street mar- Kets were guided from the outset by the sudden ‘Bews that THE BANK OF ENGLAND @irectors at their weekly meeting this forenoon Bad raised the minimum of the discount rate a further one-half per cent to 5 per cent, This ‘ection was explained in part by a subsequent able despatch stating that the bullion of the bank had undergone a farther decrease for the week of sever halfa million pounds, The raising of the rate wi discount is regarded as an anticipation and ‘preparation against the further export of specie from England, particularly in the direction of the Wnited States, our imports, large as they have ‘been, not having kept pace with the TRANSFER OF FOREIGN CAPITAL © this country, both in the banking business airectly and through the negotiation of American railway loans. The intelligence had at first little effect on gold, the market for which, while con- trolled by the clique operating, was inherently ‘Weak under its tendency to sympathize with the Jow rates for foreign exchange. The early effect in foreign exchange was to cause a little firmer feel- ng im sight bills, but otherwise quotations re- mained as before—viz., 10734 for PRIME STERLING, pixty days, and 103%¢ for sight bills, with a discount 80 large buyers of 3; a {per cent. Subsequently, when the gold clique renewed their operations in the gold loan market, and caused % per cent to be bid for the use of gold to-morrow, exchange broke down and was to be had at as low as 107 for sixty-day and 108% for sight bills of prime @rawers. These rates are pretty near the point which will allow of bringing specie from the other Bide. The effect of the advance of the Bank of Eng- Jand discount rate upon THE LONDON MARKET fvas to depress consols and five-twenties 3¢ @ 4% per eent, but the latter recovered and the ‘67's ad- vanced to higher prices than before, closing at 9254, gpgainst 92'; yesterday, the lowest quotation after e alteration of the bank rate having been 92%. The jeyancy of American securities secms, therefore, direct challenge to the movement of the bank to depress the outflow of money from London, MONEY STRINGENT, ‘The moncy market was stringent as a conse- Puence of the persistent locking-up operations of fhe “bear” cliques at the Stock Exchange, whose plans are aided by the confessed poverty of the ity banks. The government money was of little @vail against them, for they contrived to absorb it a@lmost as fast as it came from the Sub-Treasury. Whe rate on call advanced from 1-32 early in the Bid ONE-EIGHTH AND INTEREST @t three o'clock, and closed at 7 percent, gold, ft a quarter past three o'clock, the last loans being made by parties who got thelr money from the Treasury at a late hour. THE EQUIVALENTS of the rates just specified are 11 per cent for the opening, 62 per cent for the highest and 8 per cent fer the closing transactions of the day. Very natur- ally, there was nothing doing in mercantile paper, and quotations are only numinal. THE GOVERNMENT SALE OF GOLD. ‘The offer of the government to seli a million gold élicited bids for a total of $4,503,000 at prices rang- Ing trom 113.60 to 114.57, The clique brokers bid for $2,000,000 at 114.57, and were awarded half that pmount at their price, The restriction of the sale floasingle million was not generally anticipated after the extra purchase of five-twenties yester and the announcement caused an ADVANCE IN GOLD TO 115%, the lowest price having been 114%, the rise being helped by the direct buying of the clique, who held their control of the market to the last gmoment and closed the sales at the highest point of the day. As previously mentioned, they caused the “shorts” to cover quite freely by putting up the rate for cash gold to-morrow to 24 per cent, thus checking at the close the tendency to a decline resulting from the buoyancy of our bonds in Lon- don thisevening. The COURSE OF THE MARKET fs shown in the following table of the principal prices of the day:— + 14% 14 2PM. M 5 ibs % 115.54 11534 In the gold loan market the rates ranged from fiat to 1-16 for borrowing. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as {cliows:— Gold cleared + $58, Gold balances. Vurrency balances. The Thuringia, for durope, took out $64,000 in silver. The Sub-Treasury paid out $101,000 on ac- count of interest and $5,000 on account of redeemed Bve-twenties, THE RAILROAD BONDS, The following were the bids for the railroad bonds :— New York Cen 6's, 142, New York Cen b's, 822,000 Tol & W Ist m, St L div Ete Tol & Wab 2d ToL & Wab eq "y Hana a uae Se: Chie, ke HY Pacltic Mor 'W Essex Ist cf iD Istia, new Southern'7’s, 1 é eee re 1 Pitts . lew & Pitts 34 in ees ry m. ere ent,'75 Jot.

The government bond market was steady for the gold-bearing issues, a reaction from the sharp ad- vance of Wednesday overcoming and neutralizing the effect of the further advance in gold this after- noon. The currency sixes sold again at 111%, but were inrequest at that price at the close.

The stock market was heavy all day and underwent & decline ranging from % to 17% per cent—the latter extreme occurring in Northwestern, which broke to 6934 just as the Exchange was about to close. The depressing influences, outside the constant ham- mering and opposition of the “bear” clique, were to-day the advance of the Bank of England rate of discount and the result of the election in Georgia, the anti-administration majority in that State hav- ing excited fears that the Grant ticket may be de- feated throughout the entire South, while serving at the same time to help the opposition chances in Pennsylvania and still more remotely in THE NOVEMBER ELECLION throughout the whole country. It is a visionary influence, certainiy, after all the professions of Mr, Greeley; but the surer prospect of his election threatens the removal of the present debt-reduc- ing, bond-buying administration and the substitution of something experimental. At least Wall street felt in a bad humor over the result in Georgia and conjured up pictures of a new financial policy, which might be hostile to the steady, easy-going way of the present régime. So that with the Mephistophelean mischief of the “bear” cliques and their tightening of the money market, THE DISCOURAGED “BULLS” helped the depre ssion by gradually relaxing their hold upon their stocks, their wavering purposes being taken advantage of by the “bears” to start a rattling decline of everything in the closing half hour of business, the extent of which will be seen in our table below. Boston, Hartford and Erie went off to 734, and the low priced fancies were conspicuous sufferers all around falling more propor- tionately than the higher priced stocks. Atiantic Mail became active late in the day with frequent sales and a decline from 20 to 1834.

Cotton in Good Demand and Firmer; Receipts at the Ports, 11,267 Bales— Flour Steady—Wheat and Corn Easy— Oats Firmer—Grocerics Quiet—Pork Firmer—Lard Weak—Petroleum Firm— Spirits Turpentine Easier — Rosin Firmer—Whiskey Steady. Tuurspay, Oct. 3S P. M. Trade matters are in statu quo—a good thriving business and a generally healthy, buoyant state of affairs still being the most noteworthy character- istics. All the leading articles of merchandise con- tinue to be sovght after, not only for home consump, tion, but for shipment hence to Great Britain, Continental Europe and elsewhere. The extension of American com- merce to foreign countries goes bravely on, and méw fields are opened up almost every year, until now we have penetrated into every inhabitable country on the globe, where it has been found possible to obtain a foot- hold or put an entering wedge. It is true that, owing to the exceedingly low cost of production of many commodi- ties in Great Britain, we have not proved successtul com- petitors for foreign custom in certain branches; bugwe have every advantage in cther branches of com: while we are constantly making progress in this direc- tion. Thus we have to chronicle a fair degree of activity in almost all articles of export, while our tonnage capa- city is being taxed to the utmost, and as it has seldom been taxed before. To-day the movement in breadstuffs was fair, but, under a pressure to realize in wheat and corn, the market exhibited signs of weakness; yet there was no essential change in prices. Provisions remained nearly in the same condition as hitherto noticed. There was a little better feeling in the pork market, but lard re- mained dull and heavy. Nothing of particular impor- tance occurred in the grocery market, ither as regards to the demand or prices current. There was considerable inquiry for raw sugar, but at figures slightly under those now current, which holders showed no disposition to accept. There was quite a brisk movement in cotton, particularly for “spot,” and the supply being hardly sufficient to meet the de- 2 | mand, an advance was readily established and the market closed firm at the improvement. Petroleum re- mained quiet, but very firm for all descriptions, Quite a large business was reported in Philadelphia at a further advance in prices, Naval stores were irregular, spirits being easier and rosin firmer. No particular cause was assigned othor than that spirits were offered more freely and rosin was withheld. Corrox.—The demand for spot cotton was beyond the supply, and an advance of ic. per Ib. was readily estab- lished, tne market being very strong at the improve- ment, owing entirely to the paucity of destrable lots: Future deliveries ruled i¢c. per, 1b. higher under good demand, The sales sum up as follov Bodo + Last) ae » Tota’. 2,008 Er 1, b | Gobet aan Speculation In transit.

The first regular monthly meeting of the Cham- ber of Commerce since the Summer vacation was held yesterday, at their rooms in William street, the Vice President, Mr. George Opdyke, in the chair; Mr. George Wilson, Secretary. Mr. James P. Wallace was re-elected 9 member of the Committee of Arbitration and the following new members were elected:—Joseph M. Yates, William Libby, William Morgan, Joseph Sparks. President William E. Dodge, George Opdyke, J. 8. 'T. Stranahan and S. B. Chittenden were appointed delegates to the Convention of the National Board of Trade, which will be held in this city on the 15th instant. They were also instructed to’ extend the hospitalities of the Chamber to the Board. A communication from Thomas B. Van Buren was read, requesting the co- tad of the Chamber toward the encouragement of American exhibitors “ota to be held in Vienna lay next, Mr. Van mn is the commissioner Pela by the United states to that exhibition, and he seems much embarrassed by the neglect of Congress to make any appropriation to ald Ameri- can inventors and manufacturers in displaying their works. On motion of Sinclair Tousey it was resolved that Commissioner Van Buren be invited to address the Chamber at its next meeting. An amendment to the bylaws was presented, ruling that if the fees of any member remain un- unpaid fora period of two years his name may, upon report, be stricken from the rolls, the New York Steam Vessel Owners’ Association ‘was granted the use of the rooms of the Chamber for meetings for a period of one year, The sum of $109 was spmopriated by the Board as its subscription towarc paving for the flag to be precanted to the police. @ presentation of this anner will be made on the 11th inst., on the an- nual Hla in commemoration of the bravery dis- played Md the force during the riots of July, 1863, and 187) President Dodge will represent the Chamber at the ceremony of presentation, The Chamber, after attending to some minor business, adjourned, THE JEWISH NEW YEAR Services Yesterday—Eloquent Sermons and Charming Music. This Jewish festival opened brilliantly on Wednes- day evening. Services were held in all the syna gogues, both orthodox and reform, and very large congregations were present at each. But yesterday was the great day of the feast. The temples in Fifth and Lexington avenues, Thirty- fourth, Thirty- ninth, Forty-fourth and Nineteenth streets syna- gogues up town, and others not so rich and fash- fonable, were crowded with worshippers. For sey- eral days past the trustees of those synagogues have been disposing of pews and seats, but they had not space enough to supply all who applied for sittal ‘im hence the ete was made and talked up among Israelites to open ‘“mis- sion” temples for the poor and those una- ble to pay for seats. Nothing. was done, however, in this line we belteve. rte the congrega- tions would continue as lay during the year as they were yesterday the hearts of the rabbies and of the several trustees would n@ doubt be rejoiced. But as 900n ag the holidays ate well over there is a very noticeable falling off in the attendance of wor- shippers in every synagogue in the city. loguent sermons were preached yesterday by Drs. Vidaver, Einhorn, Adler, Huebsch and others in English and in German. The burden of their topics, mainly, was incentive and encouragement to the people to review their past lives, and especially the past year of their lives, to pray to God for his mercy and pas ad for their sins and transgressions and neglect of his law and thus to prepare themselves for the great day of atonement which occurs next week. The music in most of the synagogues was very fine; and especially soin the Temple Eman- nuel in Fifth avenue. The orthodox Israelites will have another day of such services according to ancient custom, but the reform Jews are content with one day. The shayar will be sounded, and the faithful called to repentance and a new life. The intervening time of the day between the services is peel spent in visiting and receiving visits, and Kew and receivi {dhe as we do on our civil ear’s day, and there Is a season of joy and rejoicing so far as is consistent with the solemnity ofthe season. There are some very strict, old- fashivaed Israelites, however, who spend most of their Jomestic hours in devotions, and will not see or be seen by friends or visitors, DESTRUCTIVE FIRE J AT | ORANGE, N. J. Four Buildings Destroyed—Loxs About Thirty-five Thousand Dollars, Between twelve and one o'clock yesterday morn- ing a very destructive fire broke out, in Orange, N. J.,in the fancy store on the corner of Main and North Centre streets, occupied by the brothers Van Ness. The flames spread rapidly and the firemen were promptly on hand; but just as there was a good prospect of getting the fire under unluckily the steamer blew out her safety-valve, and was therefore useless, A messenger was at once despatched to Newark for aid, which was promptly rendered, the Chief of the Newark De- partment himselt going with steamer No. 7. But the flames had made such headway that four small buildings, all owned by A. H. Freeman, were de- stroyed. An fajoining kell o larger, was saved by the heroism of a youth named Harvey Losey, who, at the peril of lils life, shut a window or door through which the flames were leaping. Some ot the Orange firemen behaved shamefully and refused to obey their officers. They have been suspended, THE LOSSES AND INSURANCES. A. H.
