WALL STREET, WEDNESDAY, Oct. 16—6 P. ‘u.} On Change to-day cotton was in limited demand and c. per pound easier. Flour was steady, while wheat was from lc. a 2c. tower and corn ‘orm, COMPARISON OF THE EXPORTS. The following shows the exports, exclusive of specie, from New York to foreign ports for the ‘week ending October 15, and since the beginning of the year :— 1870. 1871, 1872, For the week.. $3,196,133 _ $5,831,474 114,056 Prev. reported. 141,559,068 183,257,301 177,589,100 Bince Jan. 1..$144,755,201 $189,088,775 $183, 703,156 MONEY 4 A 6 A 5 PER CENT. The money market was rather more active, par- ticularly in the interval just after two o’clock, when ‘there was a pretty sharp demand at 6 per cent, the wate having gradually advanced from 4 a 5 per cent. The supply became bet- ter again before three o'clock and loans ‘were made eventually at 5 per cent, with more money offered to the close on the same terms. The bulk of the day’s business in the loan market was at an average of just 5 per cent. Mercantile paper was quoted at 9a 12 per cent discount for prime Rames, The leading bankers made a further ADVANCE IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE : of an eighth per cent, the rates for sterling being marked up to 109 for sixty-day and 110% for sight bills, with the actual business at the previous Mominal quotations. The market was very dull, nd the only buyers were those who could not avoid making remittances, Naturally, the rate for sight bills occasioned a good deal of speculation as to whether Saturday’s steamers would take out geld; but the whole matter of shipments of specie ‘will doubtless lie in abeyance as long as sixty-day bills may be bought at 108%. With the bank ratein London only 6 per cent and money 1n the street not ‘worth any more, the quotation of 1103, for sight sterling is too disproportioned to the rate for sixty days to allow of SPECIE SHIPMENTS, that is, of gold, until the latter shall be nearer the equality of the sight rate. There was nothing done ‘with the Bank of England discount rate to-day, contrary to the anticilpations of many who looked for an advance, and the chances for any alteration at the regular weekly meeting to-morrow morning are not strengthened by the cable advices of the prevailing quotations of the London Stock Ex- change thisevening. Thus our five-twenties of 1867 close an eighth per cent higher, and Eries (they always use the plural in England, having ref- erence to shares, wnile we speak of stock) were strong and higher. The LONDON MONEY MARKET Is not newly quoted—at least, as far as transpired publicly in Wall street to-day; but there is no reason for believing it to be more active, especially as the quotations already referred to are supplemented by steadiness in consols. How- ever, the fact of any alteration will be known before these lines reach the eye of the reader, and Wall street will have the news, whatever it may be, before business begins. The following are the clesing quotations for exchange:—Sterling, sixty days, commercial, 10834 a 108% ; do., good to prime bankers’, 108% a 109; do., short sight, 110% a 11034; Paris, sixty days, 5.324¢ a 5.273¢; do., short wight, 5.23% a 6.22}; Prussian thalers, 714 @ 72; Antwerp, 5.275¢ a 5.223%; Switzerland, 5.26% a 6.20; Hamburg, 353036; Amsterdam, 40 a 404; Frankfort, 40% a 413;; Bremen, 95 a 95%. GOLD FIRM—112% a 113 a 112%. The gold market was firm, with an advance of a quarter per cent, which was lost, however, in the closing hour of business. The first price was 112%, from which there was an advance to 113 on the announcement of the advance in the rates of foreign exchange. By noon rumors got about that there would be an effort made to-morrow to squeeze cash gold and the price moved up another point—to 113%. As the afternoon wore on the foreign bankers began to disparage the chances of any farther raising of the Bank of England rate in the morning, and gold went off to and closed at 112% in the LESS CONFIDENT ANTICIPATION ofsuch achange. Doubtless the firmer tone of the New York rates for bills on London inspired their epinion. The outgoing steamers to-day took $338,134 in silver, The course of the market is shown 1n the following table:— « 113% 3 112 112% @ 113 In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 1 per cent for carrying to 1-64 per cent for borrow- ing. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follow: Gold cleared $20,805,000 Gold balances. 1,283,116 Currency balances 839, The Sub-Treasury paid ont $53,000 on account of interest on the public debt. * THE CITY BANK STOCKS.

The Southern State bonds were more active at the Board, and the brokers making them a spe- cialty reported @ good business in them at the desk, The Tennessees were offered more freely and were @ fraction lower, but prices elsewhere Were firm and generally higher. Fresh interest was manifested in the old and new North Carolinas im anticipation of the forthcoming sesston of the Legislature at Raleigh and the movement of meas- ures to revive the State’s credit, There was also a Jarger inquiry for the new South Carolinas and a rise of about one per cent in their prices, the re- sult of favorable views of the result of THE STATR ELECTION held in South Carolina to-day. The Virginia con- sols left of at 54%. The following were the closing quotations:—Tennessee, ex coupon, 7344 0 74; do., new, 733, a 74; Virginia, ex coupon, 44 8 50; do., registered stock, old, 36 a 40; do. sixes, consolidated bonds, 54% a 54% ; do. do., defer- red acrip, 15816; Georgia sixes, 75 a 78; do. sevens, 86 a 90; North Carolina, ex coupon, 33 a 35; do., to North Carolina Railroad, 46 a 48; do., funding, 1866, 20 a 2%; do,, a0., 1868, 19 @ 21; do, new, 20 a 22; do., special tax, 10915; Missouri sixes, 92% @ 92%; do., Hannibal and St. Joseph, 80% #91; Louisiana sixes, 58 @ 56; do., new, 49 @ 55; do. levee sixes, 50.8 60; do. do. eights, 10 a 75; do. do., 1875, 70 @ 75; Alabama fives, 58 # 63; do. eights, 83 a 85; South Carolina sixes, 50 a 55; do., new, January and July, 25% @ 26; do, do., Apriland October, 26 a 27; Arkansas sixes, funded, 45 a 50, ‘THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASE OF BONDS. The government received eight tenders of bonds in response to the advertisement calling for a mil- Iton of five-twenties. The amount offered was only $812,650, and the net prices asked ranged from 112.74 to 113.12, For some reason the Secre- tary of the Treasury took the price of gold to be 112%, when it was selling at 11334 at noon and up to two o’clock—a cause which limited the accept- ances tothe small nmount of $94,000, at 112.74 a 112.87. The scarcity of bonds revealed in this transaction strengthens THE GOVERNMENT BOND MARKET, which was firm but rather less active—tne transac- tions at the earlier boards being in fact trifling. It ‘was redeemed from dulness by a good inquiry at the last call. The following were the closing prices:— United States currency sixes, 113 a 113%; do. do., 1881, registered, 114% @ 11644; do. do., coupon, 116% a 1163¢; do, five-twenties, registered, May and November, 112a 11234; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 115% @ 116%; do. do., 1864, do. do, 115% a 11634; do, do., 1865, do. do., 116 a 116%; do. do., 1867, registered, January and July, 114% a 115; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 1145 a 114%; do. do,, 1867, do. do., 114% @ 115; do. do., 1868, do. do., 114% a115; do. ten-forties, registered, 108% a 10834; do. do., coupon, 10834 a 10834; do. fives of 1881, reg- istered (ex interest), 10934 @ 110; do. do., coupon, 110% a 111%.

The heavy sales to realize profits last Tuesday, the continued apprehension of amore active money market in London and a sudden fear of specie shipments from this ‘side, now that the sight rate for sterling is fully up to the specie shipping point, with a resultant diminution of the bank reserves and a prospect of renewed stringency in money, all conspired to work a radical change in the temper of the speculation at the Stock Exchange, At first there was an active reaction from the decline of the previous evening, based on the fact that THE BANK OF ENGLAND had held no extra meeting this morning, and had, consequently, made no variation in the discount Tate. But the influences above recounted were operative in the long run, and the decline started by them was helped by a liberal sale of stocks on speculative account, the “bears” taking courage once more, what few there were of them, after a week of such hara luck as that succeeding the government disbursement of ten millions and the political result in Pennsylvania. The greatest de- cline was in Wabash, which, after a rally to 74%, broke to 7134, because of alleged heavy sales by Daniel Drew against corresponding SALES OF “PUTS” at 71 per cent, the mystery of which transaction greatly puzzled a good many of those not familiar with the devious ways of the veteran speculator. Nothing new transpired with reference to the quar- rel and proposed makeup of “Henry” and “Jay,” no news in the case being good news, doubtless, so far as the reconciliation is concerned. The excep- tional strength of the market was shown by Union Pacific, which was run up to 40% in a twinkling by @ brilliant dash of the clique controlling it; Panama, Pacific Mail and Canton. Panama held its own in the vicinity of 147, but there was great dis- appointment to the speculators of THE PACIFIO MAIL CIRCUS, especially those who lingered up to gong-sounding in expectation of seeing the calculated diurnal rise of one per cent, to 88. For some reason the ma- chinery hitched and a quarter per cent was the extent the clique reached in improving on the previous day’s highest price. Canton was marked up to101; Boston, Hartford and Erie receded to 834, and Hannibal and St. Joseph to 244%. Toward the close a steadier feeling prevailed, by reason of the abatement of the apprehension of a raising of the Bank of England discount rate in the morning; but the reaction in price was not important.

WEDNESDAY, Oct, 16—6 P. M. Business was pretty lively as a general rule to- day, and there were comparatively few important exceptions to the rule. The comparative quietude and ease in the money market have a tendency to stimulate renewed activity in commercial affairs, and a8 a consequence we note a steady growth of trade in many commodities, and an increased dis- Position to make speculative ventures, This feel- ing 1s confined to comparatively few commodities, however, the great bulk» of this season's business thus far having been the natural result of a legiti- mate demand, and the commodities dis- posed of have, as @ general thing, either been exported or gone into general distribution. Business was fair to-day in nearly all the principat articles on ‘Change. Cocton was easier. Flour was quiet. Wheat was lower, under a pressure to sell—particularly the commen sorts. Corn was also lower, but closed firm under a break in the rates of freight. Oats were active and higher. There was also a more active movement in pork, which was decidedly higher. Liverpool grain freights were decidedly lower, several of the steamers being in the market. Sugar was the at- tractive feature in the grocery market, and full prices ‘were realized. Petroleum remained dull and nominally steacy. Naval stores were firmer, under a better de- mand. Whiskey was less active, but unchanged. Corre.—The market to-day was quiet, but very firm, more particularly for the better grades. We have only to note sales of 1,696 bags Rio, ex Andes, on private terms, We quote :—Rio, ordinary cargoes, lic. a 14}gc.; fair do., 1Bi4c. a 153¢c. ; good do., 16%c. a17c.; prime do., 17%c.

A Barkeeper Fatally ShoteDanger of Carelessly Using Firearms—Flight of the Perpetrator. The danger of carelessly handling firearms was painfnily illustrated yesterday morning at the por- ter house of James McNally, 793 Third avenue. Employed as barkeeper at the above place was Jonn Reilly, a man forty-nine years of age, who lived at 835 Third averlue, About seven o’clock yesterday morning, soon after Reilly opened the place, one of his particular friends entered, also Patrick Alwell, of 400 East Forty-eighth street, and one or two others. During a conversation between Reilly and his friend, whose name did not appear, the former took from a drawer behind the bar a large navy revolving pistol and said that he intended to raiMe it oi, as the weapon was not such a one ashe wanted and he thougnt he could realize more for it that way than any other. In reply pa friend remarked that he had a more salable pistol, at the same time pulling from his pocket a silver-mounted revolver, which he handed to Reilly over the counter, expressing a de- sire to sell itto him at a cheap rate. Reilly ex- amined the pistol and cocking it handed it back to the owner. The latter in receiving the weapon lowered the hammer and in doing 80 it slippea through his fingers and fell with so much force on the percussion cap as to burst it. The pistol exploded and sent a bullet into Retlly’s abdomen, he falling on the floor behind the bar, at the same time exclaiming “I'm shot!’ Reilly's triend, who held the pistol, Was so badly trightened that he ran away, carrying the pistol with him, and was seen no.more, Captain Gunner, of the Nineteenth precinct, and Sergeant schultz were soon on the spot and sum- moned Dr, Maxwell to attend the suiferer. Ina conversation with Retlly he told Sergeant Schultz that he only was to biame and that no fault coula be found with his friend, whose nume he retused to give, The others who were in the room at the time of the shooting said there was no trouble whatever between deceased and his friend, and they believe, with Reilly, that the occurrence was purely accidental, The lojurea man sank bos gid be died within an hour after receiving his in- juries, Coroner Herrman, who was called in, gave the friends of deceased permission to remove the remains to his late residence. Deputy Coroner Cushman will make @ post-mortem examl- nation on the body to-day, and on Friday Coroner Schirmer will hold an inquest. In the meantime Captain Gunner, of the Nineteenth precinct, will make strenuous efforts to find the man implicated. in discharging the pistol. THE MURDERED BROOKLYN POLICEMAN. Escape of One of the Principal Wit- messes Under Peculiar Circumstances. The prisoners, six in number, who were present in the Kings County Court of Oyer and Terminer on ‘Tuesday last, when the trial of John Rogers, in- dicted for the mur¢er of Police OMcer John Dono hue, on the 7th of July last, were intrusted, upon the termination of the proceedings, to the custody of a sqnad of policemen for escort to the Raymond Street Jail. Each prisoner was given over to the custody of an officer, and in that order moved otf toward the jail. Upon arriving at the jail it was discovered that one of the most important witnesses against Rogers, a man named James Flint, who had been contined since the marder to testify in behalf of the people, had escaped. Two ofticers were found to have one man in custody, and these latter declared that the prisoner was the one with whom they had departed from the Court, Officers were immediately sent in quest of Flint, but their search has thus far been unsuccessful. Yesterday the Chief of Police, conceiving that gross dereliction of duty was chargeable to the officers, caused charges to be nade against them for pre- sentation and proper investigation before the Board of Police Commissioners. Rogers 1s a mem- ber of a gang of corner loafers of the Eastern Dis- trict, long and unfavorably known to the people of that section as the “Battle Row Gang,” which place ig on North First street, near Union avenue. On the night of July 7 the deceased patroiman, John Donahue, of the Fifth precinct, was found lyiny weltering in his blood on the sidewalk in front o Battle row, with his skull crushed in, He remained insensible for two days and then died. Several of the gang were arrested, and it was testi- fied before the Coroner by one of the prisoners that Rogers struck Donohue or tne head with @ cart- rung, felling him to the earth. The prisoner has a certain class of friends who boast that he will not be hung; and in this connection it is interesting to state that a ‘free and easy’ party for the benefit of Rogers, in order to defray the cost of counsel, was held the other evening. It appears, however, that the affair was not a pecuniary success, Yesterday the senior counsel in the case, “Sn Cooney, retired, on the ground that the di kept his agreement with him. 3 view of this fact, appointed E. G. Edson as counsel for the prisoner. be commenved on Monday, 21: THE BROOKLYN POISONING, Yesterday afternoon Coroner Whitel before Justice Walsh at the City Hall J Brooklyn, and made an aifidavit che Van Syckel with having poisoned his wife at ‘Wiew, residence, corner Henry street and Love lane. The prisoner, Van Syckel, was in Court, and Justice Walsh read the aftidavit to him, as foi- low ) Lawrence A. Whitehill, No. 42 Metropolitan avenue, in’ the city of Brooklyn, being duly sworn, says that on or about the 10thday of October, 1872, at the said city of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, at the corner of Love lane and Henry street, John Van ‘Syckel elther gave or caused to be given to his wife, Catharine Van Syekel, some tea or other fluld containing arsenic or some othe: oisonous materials, which caused her death after she! Had drauk it, The above information is derived trom my best knowledge and belief, and I hereby charge John Van Syckel with intent to polson Ins suid wife, Catharine Van ekel. In reply to the inquiry as to what he had to say. Van Syckel said, “1 know nothing about it, Your Honor.” The case was then adjourned until the 21st inst. for examination. A post-mortem examination of Mrs. Van Syckel was made by Drs. Morse and Robins at the Moegoe, and Professor Easton analyzed the contents of the stomach. The results will be reported at the next session of the Coroner's inquest. Aiter the post- mortem the remains were returned to Flatbush. and reinterred. SINGULAR CASE. Dranken Row and Scalding—Fatal Result. A somewhat singular case was yesterday devel- oped before Deputy Coroner Cushman, Mary Van Houten, a woman thirty years of age, died at her residence, 48 Scammel street, as was supposed, from purely naturai causes. On the 22d of November last the deceased lived at No, 60 Gouverneur street, and in the same house was Delia Quinn, a young woman, who occupied apartments there with her mother and other relatives. Duri the day a disturbance occurred between lia and Mrs. Van Houten, during which the former, as alleged, threw @ ot of hot tea over. the neck and shoulders of Mary, scalding her severely. Delian was arrested for the! assault, but after seven days’ incarceration was discharged in consequence of the non-appear- ance of the complainant. Mrs. Van Houten, a woman of intemperate habits, was attended by several physicians; but the wound did not fully heal, and becoming worse, she died two or three days since. Dr. Cushman made a post-mortem examination on the body of deceased and found chronic disease’ of the liver, which was of enormous size, weighing some sixteen pounds. In the opinion of Dr. he man death resulted from exhaustion, consequent upon liver and kidney disease, which possibly may have been accelerated by the scalds; but as to that. Dr. Cushman is not prepared to say. By request Captain Mount, of the Seventh precinct, made scarch for Miss Quinn, and on Tuesday night she was arrested and detained at the station house. ron Schirmer will hold an inquest on the body 0-day. TRE JERSEY CITY BANK ROBBERY. The Trial of the Chief of Police and Detcc- tive Doyle Postponed for a Week. In the Hudson County Court of Oyer and Ter- miner, at Jersey City, yesterday, the indictments against Edward L. McWilliams and John Doyle, for complicity in the robbery of the First National Bank, were brought up, Ex Chancellor Willtamson and Messrs. Winfield and Hoffman appeared for the defence. Mr. Win- field moved for a tponement on the ground that there were some important witnesses te to St. Louis and elsewhere who had not arrived, and the testimony of . these witnesses would’ be most important to the defence. Judge Depue grantea a postponement till next Thursday, when the trial must positively pro- ceed. The counsel for the State, by & curious co- incidence, were not fully prepared to proceed with the case, and counsel for the defence took the very . course that the prosecution desired, although un- wittingly. Inthe meautime Chief McWilliams re« mains in jail. Attorney General Gilchrist and District Attorney Garretson appearcd for the State, and most of the witnesses called di not respond. It was, how- ever, neraily understood that a postpohement would be asked for, There are three unimpeach- able witnesses to be examined in the case, ang this it is necessary to state as it is the prevailing im- pen that the prosecution relies solely on the stimony Of the convicted burglars. ‘The Workingmen's Central Union of the Eighth Assembly district held a meeting last night af Harmony Garden, Esuéx street, an’ endorsed thé Gsrtena gomuteny sone arn ir, Jot leckler Stauf for Assistant Alderman. meeting wad d by a number of
