WEDNESDAY, Oct. 9—6 COMPARISON OF THE EXPORTS, The following shows the exports, exclusive of specie, from New York to foreign ports for the week ending October 8, and since the beginving of the year :— 1870. 1871. For the week.. $4,574,389 $5,009,052 Prev. reported. 136,984,769 178,248,249 171,363, Since Jan. 1..$141,559,068 $183,257,301 $177,589,100 MONEY 7 TO 4 PER CENT. Money was easy and abundant, and a cheerful tone pervaded monetary circles in general. Bor- rowers on call were accommodated carly in the day at 7 per cent, but the rate gradually declined to 4 per cent, the last dealings toward three o'clock being on the basis of 4a 5 per cent. There was a marked increase in the inquiry for prime mercan- tile paper, which was taken readily at 10 12 per cent discount. Foreign exchange opened weak, and the leading drawers made a little concession in rates, but toward the close restored them to yesterday's standard, owing to AN ACTIVE INQUIRY for remittance induced by the decliae in gold. The last dealings were on the basis of 108% for prime sixty day sterling and 109% for sight bills, the bominal quotations being 1; per cent higher. Pri- vate advices by cable still indicate the probable further advance of the Bank of England rate of dis- count at the weekly meeting of the managers to” morrow morning. Our bonds were no better for the news from Pennsylvania to-day, for some rea- son, and the 67’s closed at 92%, sales this evening: @gainst 92% a 93 yesterday. GOLD DOWN—113% A 112. The gold market gave way before the news from Pennsylvania and underwent'a decline of fully one per cent, comparing this evening’s with Tuesday's closing quotation, At first there was a little reac- tion from the opening quotation, 112%, a recovery to 113}, representing the doubt in some minds that the telegrams of last night in the early editions of the papers this morning might not be conclusive, This notion was got bravely over within a brief space of time, and off the price went again with a series of fevered fuctuations until it closed at 11234, The Sub-Treasury paid out $22,000 on account of interest and $300 on account of re- deemed five-twentics. The 1872. $6,22 COURSE OF THE MARKET {s shown in the following table of the principal fuc- tuations of the day:— In the gold loan market the rate ranged from 5 per cent for carrying to fat for borrowing. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as fol- lows :— Gold cleared.... Gold balance: Currency balance: NO TREASURY PURCHASE of bonds could be effected to-day for the reason that the offerings were above the limit at which the Secretary may buy, viz.—par in gold. The amount advertised for was one million and the tenders were $1,222,300 at 112.87 a 112.98, Although gold Was 112.62; at noon, it had fallen to 112.25 almost before the reading of the tenders had been finished, The facts being telegraphed to Washington the price of gold was taken tobe 112%, which limita- tion prevente:l the acceptance of any of the bonds offered. In view of this result there is much specu- lation this evening as to whether the usual gold sale will be held to-morrow, as its consummation would go to help undo the recent relief of the money market. GOVERNMENTS LOWER. The government bond market presented the anomaly of declining prices all day, despite the inability of the Treasury to buy bonds and despite the success of the admin- istration party iu Pennsylvania, the expia- nation being the decline in gold, with which our securities sympathize more closely every day. Were the bonds quoted in gold they would show, of course, @ sharp advance, for prices of the five- twenties at the close are as nearly as may be on a level with the gold quotation, while a few days since they were far below that standard, On the other hand, THB CURRENCY BONDS, asare designated the six per cents issued to the Pacific Railroads, were correspondingly strong, and their price improved in almost inverse ratio to the yielding of the five-twenties. The following were the closing quotations:—United States currency sixes, 111% a 112; do. do., 1881, registered, 114 a 114%; do. do., coupon, 115% a 116; do, five-twen- ties, registered, May and November, 111! a 112; do, do., 1862, coupon, do., 115 a 11544; do. do., 1864, do, d0,, 115 & 11534 ; do. do., 1865, do. do., 115 a 1154; do. do, 1867, registered, January and July, 114 a 11434; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 114 @ 114%; do. 0., 1867, do. do., 114 @ 11414; do. do., 1868, do, do., 114 a 114%; do. ten-forties, registered, 107% a 108; do, do., coupon, 107% a 108; do. fives of 1881, regis- tered, 11034 @ 110% ; do. do., coupon, 110% @ 110%.

SOUTHERN BKOURITIBS STRONG. ‘The triumph of the administration party in Penn- sylvania occasioned an active inquiry for the lead- ing Southern State bonds, particularly the Geor- gias, Virgintas and South Carolinas, prices of which advanced % a 1 per cent, Thero was also & better feeling in the Tennessees, but not 60 con- spicuous an improvement. It is diMoult to say why the result in Pennsylvania should have this effect unless on the hypothesis that there arc now less chances of the defeat of the republican party tn the Southern States and less prospect of a repudia- tion of the bonds issued since the reconstruction of the Southern State governments, REPUDIATION for any reason being fatal to the credit of any State guilty of it. The following were the closing quotations :—Tennessee, ex coupon, 724 a 712%; do, new, 72'4 a724¢; Virginia, ex coupon, 4434 a 50; do., registered ‘stock, old, 38 a 42; do., sixes, con- solidated bonds, 603g a 51; do., sixes, deferred scrip, 15 @ 16; Georgia sixes, 74 @ 77; do., sevens, 86a 88; North Carolina, ex coupon, 30 a 34; do., to North Carolina Railroad, 44 8 48; do., funding, 1866, 20 @ 24; do., do., 1868, 20 a 23; do., now, 18 a 20; do., special tax, 10 a 14; Missouri sixes, 024 a 9234; do., Hannibal and St. Joseph, 893, @ 9034; Louisiana sixes, 50 a 66; do, new, 4908565; do. levee sixes, 50 8 60; do. do. elghts; 70a 78; do. do, eights, 1875, 70 a 75; Alabama fives, 56 a 63; do, eights, 80 a 85; South Carolina sixes, 48 a 66; do., new, January and July, 23% @ 24; do. do., April and October, 25 a 2644; Arkansas sixes, funded, 48 a 53, STOCKS ACTIVE, HIGHER AND STRONG. The sweeping victory of the administration party in Pennsylvania gave a freo rein to the bullish sentiment of the dealers and speculators at the Stock Exchange, and imparted so strong an im- pulse to the upward movement in prices that quo- tations show for the day an improvement averag- ing nearly two per cent, the rise in some instances being nearly three per cent. The future of the bullish side of the speculation seems unobscured by the smallest cloud now that the result in Penn- sylvania assures the re-election of Greneral Grant and the present administration, and gives promise of FOUR YEARS MORE of the debt-reducing, bond-buying, moncy-disburs- ing, gold-selling policy which has characterized the past three years and a half of the reigning ad- ministration. Since General Grant became Presi- dent he has reduced the floating investments of Wall street and of the country over three hundred and fifty million dollars by buying in that amount of bonds, the money for which has gone back to keep up speculation and activity in other securities and investments. His re-election means, there- fore, another four years of enormous disbursements of money and buying of bonds, equivalent in their results to constant new issues of paper money and just as likely to maintain the buoyancy of -specula- tion. Indeed, the INTERVAL TO NEXT SUMMER is likely to witness a revival and re-enactment of the excitement and scenes of the famous specula- tive mania of the Winter and Spring of 1863-69 and Spring and Summer of 1869 following the nrst elec- tion and the inauguration of General Grant, when Rock Island sold at 142, Lake Shore at 120, North- west at 96, Wabash at 87 and other shares at a pro- portionate advance. The groundswell of the prophesied repetition of this era of speculative ex- citement was felt in the sudden rise of everything to-day and the elimination of the last of the SPARTAN BAND OF “BEARS” who dared to remain on the ‘short’ side of the ac- count after the Treasury operations on Monday last. The new pool in Pacific Mail ad- vanced their specialty to 83%, and pinned it at 83 to the close. It is said that the combination procured a “put” from the Presi- dent of the company for an enormous number of shares, and, with this security against his unload- ing his stock upon them, engine ered the present rise. Western Union advanced to 74% on the presentation to the stockholders to-day of a very favorable report of operations for the past year. The result of the annual meeting and election to- day, and a synopsis of the report, are given in an adjoining column. Toward the close there was a little reaction in the general market, but the de- cline was not important, and hardly exceeded \ &% per cent, except for St. Paul, which re- ceded % per cent. Harlem advanced to 11354. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES. The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of the principal stocks during the day :— Highest.

A meeting of the Directors of the Western Unton Telegraph Company took place yesterday after- noon at the oMces of the company, 145 Broadway.

Areporter of the HERALD, alter the mecting, had an interview with Mr, William Orton, the President of the company. In regard to @ question concern- ing the iy eee of the company he said he was not prepared to make any statement. “There is a report prevatent,” said the HaraLD reporter, “concerning the dividend of the company. It is sald that a dividend will be pald this year.”” Mr. Orron—That is not 80. No dividend will be aid the stockholders, We are at present exhaust- ng our revenue on the construction of new lines and on the perfecting of our-buginess in all parts of the Union, And at present we think it more im- peers to extend our business than to pay divi- lends, errata oo: ee & SSSeSSece: zo 4 ESSSRSESSSseSseSSses. 600 Alo. 200 Con O of 100 Md Coat Ge SONYO&H 2:30 to4 P.

Trade has been moderate to-day in nearly all its branches, the markets still manifesting extreme sensi- tiveness, being still unsettled by the sudden and radical decline in the gold premium, which is still kept vacillat- ing between 123g and 13% percent.

This question, I learn upon inquiry, has al- ready received the consideration of the Cirenit Judge of this circuit, and he has instructed the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York that the act reterred to does not authorize the commencement of an action by such a summons.
