Om 'Change to-day cotton was active and firm, closing with an upward tendency. Flour was steady and wheat and corn were firm. ‘THE DRY GOODS IMPORTS. The imports of foreign dry goods at this port dur dng the week ending October 10, 1872, were $1,403,040. The amount marketed was $1,710,077. MONEY EASY. ‘The money market was easy, and in view of the “Treasury disbursements this week and the restora- ‘ton to circulation of the large sums recently locked ‘up by the operators at the Stock Exchange a favor- able bank statement is looked for to-morrow. The ‘ate on call ranged from 7 down to 3 per cent, large ces being offered at 3 per cent at three o'clock, ‘without takers, and going over unemployed. ‘here /18 an improving feeling as regards MERCANTILE PAPER, especially as the virtual settlement of the Presi- ential question in favor of President Grant by the result in Pennsylvania has given a wonderful Ampetus to trade generally and to the dry goods ‘business particularly, the merchants in the latter line reporting a unanimous falling to of buyers, ‘whose hesitation disappeared with the news in Wednesday morning’s papers, In fact the season 4s month earlier than it would have been had the Settlement of the Presidential issue been de- erred until November. FOREIGN EXCHANGE advanced another one-eighth per cent, and the feading drawers of sterling now ask 108% for sixty- day and 110% for sight bills, but allow a generous commission to buyers of round amounts, These tates are just on the level of the specie shipping point, and if persevered in may tead to an export of specie next week. Indeed a moderate shipment may be made to-morrow. The consolation afforded by this condition of the foreign exchanges is the im- petusit gives to exports of aomestic produce, cot- ton and petroleum, particularly as the gold market {s at the same time relatively firm. Indeed, it may ee termed A FORTUITOUS CIRCUMSTANCE for the exporting mercharts generally that they are able to find so ready a market as the rates of gold and exchange afford them just now, more particu- farly as the light and diminishing lines of imports fo but little injury the other way. The following were the quotations at the close:—Sterling, sixty Gays, commercial, 108 a 10834; do., good to prime bankers’, 1085 a 108%; do. short sight, 1104 a 110% ; Paris, sixty days, 5.3234 a 5.2714; do., short sight, 5.23% @ 5.2234; Prussian thalers, 7134 a 72; Antwerp, 5.273, @ 5.2246; Switzerland, 5.264% a §.21%; Hamburg, 35% 836%; Amsterdam, 89% a 40%; Frankfort, 40% a 4134; Bremen, 94% @ 9534. THE LONDON MARKET shows a little reaction in five-twenties, which are back to where tney were before the Bank of England raised the discount rate, but no lower. The street tate for money in London is variously reported some early despatches putting it nearly as high as the bank rate, while a late report this evening, the authority of which is not well defined, says that there was a rclaxation this aiternoon to 4 a 444 per cent. The latter seems partially confirmed by an - @dvance of one-eighth in consols and one-quarter per cent in Eries, United States bonds being steady, The flow of bullion is evidently in the direction of Germany, for the loss of £773,000 in the Bank of ‘England for the week is supplemented by a losa of 1,000,000 francs in THE BANK OF FRANCE. It is quite probable that the easier feeling reported 4n London this afternoon is due to a knowledge of the advance of the rates of foreign exchange in ¢his market and the stop put thereby to any im- mediate prospect of ® movement of specie from England in this direction, as was invited a week or #0 since, when sixty-day sterling bills sold at 1065; for cash. As for the European current of specie, it M0W. appears that the terms of the subscription to the French loan tempted many to pay a less rate in ‘Cash than was asked on time, and thus caused a more active demand for money than had been counted upon when it was thought the loan would have been paid for gradually. The greater pros, perity of the industrial interests of Ireland and Scotlana has also made a greater need for money Chis Fall in those countries.

SOUTHERN SECURITIES STRONG. ‘The Southern State bonds were strong, with a farther improvement in the Virginias and Tennes- sees, the latter being in demand at 73, There was fair inquiry and some business in tne new South Carolina July bonds at 24, The following were the closing quotations:—Tennessee, ex coupon, 73 a 73%; do., new, 72% 073%; Virginia, ex coupon, 44 & 60; do., registered stock, old, 37 a 40; do., bixes, consolidated bonds, 51 a 52; do., do., deferred serip, 15 @ 16; Georgia sixes, 15.78; do. sevens, 069 80; North Carolina, ex coupon, 92 a 34; do, to NEW YORK HEKALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1872.—~TRIPLE) SHERT, Worth Osrolina Railroad, 45 # 41; do., funding, 1866, | 100 8 4 MsRi 20 a 22; do., a0,, 1868, 19 a 22; do., new, 18 a 20; do., special tax, 108 13; Missouri etxes, 9254 pdo., Hannibal and St. Joseph, 6034 @ 90; Louisiana sixes, 80.2 56; do. new, 50.86; do. levee sixes, 50a 60; do. do, eights, 70 8 80; do. do., 1875, 70 @ 80; Ala- bama fives, 58 a 62; do, eights, 80 8 85; South Caro- lina sixes, 504 65; do. new, January and July, 24 a 24%; do. do., April and October, 25a 27; Arkansas sixes, funded, 48 @ 63. GOVERNMENTS STRONG. ‘The government list was strong and a fraction higher, even for the currenoy bonds, which, as 8 six per cent United States secu- rity having over twenty years to run, pre. sent constant inducement to seekers of sound investments. The activity of the day was chiefly in the 67's, which, as well as the 81's, were in strong demand for shipment to Europe, the principal buyers being the German bankers, who were picking up round lots at the brokers’ offices, without dealing at the Board, whore their inquiry would have been too easily perceived. With the CURRENT QUOTATIONS for gold and foreign exchange a profit ts offered in shipments to the other side, and probably the little reaction in five-twentica to-day in Lon- don is due to sales from this market per cable rather than to the advance of the dis- count rate, which, {t will be remembered, had no adverse influence yesterday. The following were the closing prices :—Untted States currency sixes, 1124¢ a 11234; do. do., 1881, registered, 1143¢ @ 114%; do. do., coupon, 116% a 116%; doe, five-twenties, registered, May and November, 112 a 1123; do, do., 1862, coupon, do,, 115% a 115%; do. do., 1864, do.

GOLD UNSETTLED—112% A 1133 A 112%. The gold market was feverish and alternately weak and strong, closing lower than it opened. The firat sales were at 1127, and the first change was to 113, while within the same hour came a relapse to 112%. Here.the foreign exchange drawers put up their rates as previously noted, and gold recovered and advanced to 113%, Still later came word that money in London had relaxed to 4a 4) per cent, and off went gold to 112%, at which it closed. The “COURSE OF THA MARKET _ is shown in the following table of the principal fluctuations of the day:— 10 A. M. «+ 112% 1:31 P. M. ug «(2 P. 112% 2:57 P. M. 12% 38P, M. 112% 3:10 P. M. 113s 3:40 P. M. «» 118% 4P.M. In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 4 per cent for carrying to flat for borrowing. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as fol- lows:— Gold cleared 57,557,000 Gold balances 1,563,564 Currency balances. 1,916,671 The Sub-Treasury paid out $62,000 on account of interest and $19,000 on account of redeemed five- twenties, STOCKS UNSETTLED AND IRREGULAR. The stock market sympathized more or less, but in @ reverse manner, with the influences which affected the gold market—viz., the course and tenor of matters in London. With the first discov- ery that the bank rate was higher than the street rate for money in that city, stocks led off active and strong, the Pacific Mail pool improving the op- portunity to mark their specialty up to 83, at which they halted and took all the stock that was offered, keeping their broker in the Board like 9 sentinel all the time, watching and buying it, his purchases for the day having been fully FORTY THOUSAND SHARES. With the advance in sterling and the impression it conveyed that affairs were really serious in London stocks wavered and declined, but rallied again at the last Board with the continued ease in our own money market; and as the Pacific Mail pool now advanced their stock to 84, and New York Central rose to 9654, there was a smart advance all around, Rock Island touching 109. From this ad- vance there was still another but fainter reaction, and later on, when the money rate in London was reported to be down to 4 @ 43¢ per cent, another rally, the market closing quiet and firm for most of the list, but “off” for the rest from the BEST PRICES OF THE DAY. It is said that the pool in Pacific Mail comprise Messrs. Jay Gould and Henry N. Smith, the event- ual object of the combination being to secure con- trol of a majority of the capital stock and make Mr. Smith the next president of the company. We give the rumor for what it is worth. There is no doubt, however, that the pool comprise the two persons named, the fact being a striking illustra- tion of the extraordinary conversion of the specu- lative sentiment of leading operators in Wallstreet since the Treasury doings of last Monday and the resuit of the election in Pennsylvania. Indeed, NEW POOLS are organizing all over the street against the ex- pected great tidal wave in the stock market be- tween now and next summer, and every leading stock is gatiering around it its special combination for the great “bull movement’’ which is to follow the re-election of the present administration. The enthusiastic vision of these men foresees a rise of ten to thirty per cent within the space of the next six months, or at least before the Fall of the year 1873—when it will be in order to repeat the stock panic of 1869, In the miscellaneous railways Hannibal and St. Joseph rose to 34 and Boston, Hartford and Erle to 8%. New Jersey Central was weak and lower and Lackawanna higher and strong. Erie advanced to 493g. Wabash declined from 71% to 70.

The Jewish Day of Atonement—Origin and Observance of the Festival—inter- This evening will begin the commemoration of the Jewish Day of Atoncment—the most solemn of ail the festivals of she Lord kept'by Israelites, Ite foundation and authorisation are recorded in Levt- ticus xvi, 19, and xxtlt., 27, and onward. It is there made an everiseting statute unto them that once a year, on the tenth: day of the sevemth month, Tishrt, the priest, should ester into the holy place to make atonement for the peopie with approprt- ate offerings, They were commanded to aMlict their souls and to abstain from every kind and manner of Why es an demanded by nature, And ‘not on! y but the stranger and sejourner in any of their cities or villages were to abstain from labor, The priests, sécord- ing to commandment, wear white linen vestments on. thie day and the sanctuary and rolis of the law the reading desks and pulpits are coverca with white linen cloths also, So atrict was the originag command and 0 faithfully was it obeyed at times that every soul that did not aMict itself or that per- formed any work on this day wero cut off from among the people, and were denied the: privileges of the temple or sanctuary. While the Israelites in their own land worshippea at the altar of their tempie, and in strict ac cordanee with the rites dictated by their Go@ through Moses, THE SERVIOB OF THIS DAY was solemn and splendid. It is yet very solema and impressive, though, of course, very much of ita ancient. splendor 1s wanting. It was the only day in the year when tho Cohen hagadol, or high priest. presumed to enter the holy of holies, and then not without blood which he sprinkled upon the people and the book of the law, the tabernacle and all the vessels of ministry, that they might be sanctified thereby. This wag the only day of the year, too, when the sacred name “Jehovah” cor be pro- nounced by the high priest. ‘Tradition dates the commemoration of this day as far back as Adam himself, It is said that om this day his sins were pardoned and atoned for. Abraham entered tnto the covenant of circum- cision, it is believed, on this day. Moses, alter he had broken the first tables of the law and asconded the Mount, returned again with the second tabi on this day, when the Lord pardoned the sins the people and revealed unto them His attributes. ‘Two days are alloted to this festival by the orthe- dox; the frat twenty-four hours being spent in fusting and prayer, confeasion of sins and suppli- cation for the Divine favor and mercy, The Brig arations for the fast partake of ail the solemnil of a meal to be taken just before death, It is cus- fad ie the evening before the fast for parents to bestow their benedictions on their children; and the truly pious Jew pronounces this blessing with all the fervor and heartfelt emphasis of his dy! moments. And when or wherever Israelites mee each other on this day, whether they be acquaint ances or utter strangers, they salute each other witi the truest familiarity and brotherly aifection, AW quarrels and disputes between Israelites must be settled before they presume to appear in the Lord's house on this day, and FULL REPARATION MUST BE MADR for any wrong done to another, and restitution made of anything unlawfully taken. Even intimate friends on this day beg one another's pardon lest i eller offence rematn unappeased, ¢ affliction of the soul enjoined above is, ac- cording to tradition, dee tad fron eating, drink- ing, bathing, perfuming, wearing shoes and sexual intercourse. And as total abstinence is the duty ofthe day itself feasting is the auty of the preceding day, because itis deemed that a man who, aiter enjoy- ing heartily the good shi of this life, subdued his appetites and passions, his thoughts and cen- siderations is worthy of more honor, and he ig deemed to have fasted on both days, The moi influence of such a day as this “Yom Kippur’’ more easily appreciated than described. day when rich and poor, penctrated alike witt the sentiment of their ,utter unworthiness, bow in the dust pefore the omniscient Ges = of all; when the wise man considers not his wisdom as @ shield, nor the wealthy his possessions or cata but both confess their sins and cry unto God f rdon., There can be little doubt, too, that the feelings of at and brotherly love which exist among Israelites are greatly fostered and strength. ened and encouraged by the solemn services of this day. More strongly than eloquent sermons day recalls to the mind of every Jew THE EQUALITY OF THE GRAVE, which 1s the common lot of all, and, for the time being at least, they stand upon a common levet before God on this day. The atonement services will begin in the syna- ogues at sunset this evening, and will be con- inued through and over Sunday; and, though the synagogues will be as usual greatiy crowded a8 every service, it would be both interesting and profitable for others, who are not Israelities, to Visit those pees of worship this evening or to- morrow. Appropriate sermons will be preached by the rabbies in English and German, calling atten- tion to the sacredness of the day and the duty which it enjoins upon the people. ENIGHT3 TEMPLARS.

On last Monday Kmights Templars delegated from the Palestine, Manhattan, Morton, Clinton and De Witt Clinton Commandertes left the city for Nor- wich, Chenango county, the place appointed for the grand encampment, the first ever held in the State of New York.

She Was Abused by Her Paramour and Stopped the Pulse of Life With Twos Thirds of a Grain of Arsenic. 7 | The death of Annte Davis, née Hughes, occurred on the 15th of August, and excited suspicions of foul play. Yesterday the inquest was held by Cor- oner Keenan, and the following facts were proven. Belinda Hastings, the woman with whom the de- ceased was boarding, testified that her husband of | paramour, Davis, used sometimes to visit her, and almost always while in an intoxicated state, on which occasions he would abuse her violently. An- nie expressed sometimes A DESIRE TO DIF. On the evening of the 14th of August, after she came home from her work, she compiained of the depressive effects of the heat, an not taste her supper. She lett the room, but came an to cry. Her husband, who was present, foliowed her and seized her by throat, as if to choke her, when he was made to desist by her hostess. Davis an@® Annie went to bed at a later hour, but about eleven o'clock she left him and went down stairs, He in the meanwhile went up on the roof, and she re- turning followed him there. That was the last ing,seen of them until three o’clock the next morn- when Annie was found sick in bed, and at six o'clock she asked for a doctor. She denied ha’ taken anything, and died at about half-past five in the afternoon. On the morning of the previous day, when the witness went in her room, she found her with A PACKAGE OF PARIS GREEN in her hand. Another witness, Mary A. Brown, testified that she worked in the s! with Annie Davis, and that the latter sent her little girl out to get some Paris green at the dri : after which Davis scolded her for bg | get it. The chemist to whom the stomach vf the deceased was submitted reported that he had found two-thirds of agrain of arsenious acid in its tissues and con- tents. og: rendered a verdict of “Suicide by taxing The jj arsenic, 8AD AOOIDENT IN HOBOKEN.
