COMPARISON OF THE EXPORTS.

The Bank of England directors made no altera- tion in the discount rate this morning, and the minimum stands as before at 7 per cent. The bul- lion account shows a decrease for the week of £136,000. The quotations of the London market are 80 irregular as to afford no real clew to the condi- ‘tion of money, our bonds having advanced % a % per cent, while consols are lower “for money,’ with a difference of 3 per cent in favor of transac- ‘tions “for account.” It is possible that consols are suffering by COMPETITION WITH AMERICAN BONDS, ‘and that while the money market is easier invest- ment seekers are taking the latter in preference to the former, and perhaps selling their consols. Erie shares showed arise at one time of about 4 per ent as compared with the lowest quotation made in-London since the news of the Boston fire—the sudden advance being attributed to a ‘rig’ orcor- mer upon the bears incidental to contracts expir- ing to-morrow, which is the regular fortnightly set- tling day for the Stock Exchange, the next occur- ing November 29. FOREIGN EXCHANGE LOWER. The foreign exchange market was lower on a ‘better supply of bills drawn against commerciat and bond bills, and at the decline was fairly active. ‘The following shows the range of rates at the close of business :—Sterling, sixty days, commercial, 1073, & 10834 ; do., good to prime bankers’, 1083; @ 108% ; do. short sight, 1108 110%; Paris, sixty days, 5.35 a 6.28%; do., short sight, 5.25 a 6.23%; Prussian ,thalera, 71 @ 7145; Antwerp, 5.323¢ @ 5.26% ; Switzer- land, 6.31} a 5.25; Hamburg, 35% a 365; Amster- dam, 39% @ 40; Frankfort, 4034 a 40%; Bremen, 94% Oy. GOLD PEVERISH—113 4 113%, The gold market was feverish and unsettled Owing to a continuance of the conflict end chang- ‘ing sentiments of the street, At first it was weak and dropped to 113 on the advance of our bonds in\ London and the decline in sterling, but rallied and seavanced to 1133, with the export of nearly @ mil- ation and a half of specie and the sale ofonlya ‘Million gold by tife Treasury, but fell off again to 113)¢ and underwent a closing rally to 113%. The specie export was $1,410,000, of which only $60,000 ‘was sliver. The bids for gold at THB 6UB-TREASURY: calied for a total of $2,695,000 at prices ranging from 112.38 to 113,25, The sale was confined to a ‘million, which was awarded at 113.26 a 113.15. The Sub-Treasury paid out $383,000g)n account of. in- ‘terest and $6,000 on account of redeemed five- twenties. The course of the market is shown in the gold ioan market:the rates ranged from 7 er cent for carrying to flat for borrowing. The Dperations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as 47,639,000 bag 2") 2,341,253 THE RAILROAD BONDS. The following were the bids for the railroad bonds :— . + Tol & Wab cons con.... 87 Bost, H & E.7's, Cedar F & Minn Istm.. 80 SOUTHERN SECURITIES DULL. The Southern State bonds were dull and firm The new South Carolina July issues sold at 24%. A meeting of North Carolina bondholders will be, held in Baltimore to-morrow evening to concert measures against the meeting of the Legislature on Monday, at Raleigh, for the advancement of their interests. The Committee on Securities have admitted to the call a new issue of $200,000 Mis- sourt sixes, known specially as Asylum bonds.

MONEY EASIER. Tne money market was easier and steadier as to rates, but @till active as to the demand. The early business was at 7 currency to 7 gold; but be- fore the “money crowd” adjourned from the board to the street as high as 1-16 per cent was freely paid for aovcommodation on pledge of the usual collaterals. In the later dealings on the sidewalk there was a relaxation to? per cent gold and the inquiry closed at that rate, with an abundant sup- ply, however, at 1-82 (the latter equivalent to about 11 per cent per annum.) Nothing new transpired in mercantile discounts, which were quoted 9 a 12 per cent for prime names, A considerable failure in the tea trade was announced this morning. GOVERNMENTS FIKM, ‘The government list was firm, but without im- portant variation in prices, the market being a shade duller and leaving off quiet, with the following quotations:—United States cur- rency sixes, 113 @ 113%; do. do., 1881, reg- istered, 115% @ 115%; do. do., coupon, 116% a 117%; do, five-twenties, registered, May ait No- vember, 112% @ 1125; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 112% @ 112%; do. do., 1864, do, do,, 112% a 11254; do. do., 1865, do. do., 112% @ 113; do. do,, 1867, registered, January and July, 114% a 115%; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 114% a 116; do. do, 1867, do. do., 115% @ 11554; do. do., 1868, do.do., 11534 a 115%; do. ten-forties, registerod, 108}, a 108%; do. do., coupon, 108% a 10844; do. fives of 1681, registered, 10934 @ 110; do. do., coupon, 1095; a 110, ERIK RAILWAY BARNINGS.

Tnorease to date.. STOOKS WEAK AND DULL. There was a sensible moderation of activity at the Stock Exchange and a weaker market, with a lower range of prices, although the decline was not important outside of Pacific Mail, which seemed pressed for sale and went off nearly two per cent In the general list the decline varied froma quarter to three-quarters per cent and was more than cov- ered by an average of one-half percent, The more active feature was Erie, which, in sympathy with the reported “CORNER” IN LONDON, advanced to 52%, but declined afterward to 50%. An English ‘corner’ is a far less dangerous affair than one in this market. In London stocks are generally sold ‘for account,’ equivalent to our “regular way,’’ except that the delivery and pay- ment in all such transactions are deferred to set- ting day, which comes twice a month. Should the “bears” overseil a stock and be unable to make their deliveries, & committee of the Stock Ex- change, having jurisdiction in such matters, fixes the penalty or rate for the use of the stock which the “bears” must pay to the “bulls,” and the whole speculation goes over to the NEXT SETTLING DAY, and soon. Our operators would go “short” all the time on such easy terms as these, were they the rule of our market. The several investment stocks reputed to be largely held in Boston have been quite weak since the fire, Chicago and Alton being down to 10244 a 110, and Michigan Central to 113%. The stock of the newly organized Mariposa Land and Mining Company was admitted to the cail to- day and elicited the quotation 17 9 20, As heretofore explained by us, each one hun- dred shares of this stock may be had by the surrender of one hundred shares of the old preferred, or two hundred of the old common stock, and the payment in addition to a cash considera- tion of 15 per cent. Pittsburg closed at 88%. Messrs. Stewart & Matteson, who were forced to suspend on Monday, have paid all claims and re- sumed business. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

TaHuRspay, Nov. 14—6 P. M. There was acarcely any improvement in trade circles to-day, the markets generally still feeling the effects of the great Boston fire. Business was very generally dull; but there were a few excep- tions where activity and buoyancy were the ruling ‘ enaracteristics. The dificulties of local transporta- tion are mostly surmounted, and the Iuil in buai- ness has proved an effective aid to this end, there being decidedly less call for transportation facili- ties than there was twoor three weeks ago. The Boston fire has exerted but little influence on the value of merchandise here, as yet; but it is highly probable that in some few instances some changes, more or less important, occur, 80 soon as a more accurate knowledge as to the extent of the losses shall have become arrived at. The move- | ment of produce to-day was but moderate. On ‘Change flour continued dull. Wheat opened firm, but subsequently closed easier. Corn was de- cidedly lower—a rainy day and firmer freight mar- ket were the principal causes. Provisions con- | tinned quiet, and while pork remained nominally | the same, lard was a shade in buyers’ tavor. The movement in cotton continued quite brisk at a further advance in prices, both for spot and future. Groceries were quiet and unchanged. The same remarks ‘will apply to the petroleum market. Naval stores were a little more inquired for and easy, without being materi- ally lower. Whiskey sold moderately fair, at former prices. Corras.—The market remained quiet, but firm, for all descriptions. Prices were nominally the same, and as follows :—Rio, ordinary cargoes, Ie. a 15%c.; fair, 15%c. a l6c. ; good, 17c. a 1734c.; prime, 18c. @ 1834c., gold, 60 and jaracaibo, 16c. a 180. ; Laguayra, 17c. a 18}. ; - 18}4c. a 19¢., gold. The inquiry for spot cotton was light, but, in- fluenced by the upward turn in future deliveries, holders offered very sparingly, and the marketruled firm, The annexed quotations show an advance of 4¢c. per Ib. on all grades, For future delivery the market was active at an gaseme of 1-Me, @ ge. per Ib, The sales sum up as fol- lows :— To-Day.

The Drain of Gold from E: ‘and to Germany—Enormous Consumption of the Precious Metal—The German Im- pertal Co! ge and Fi: COB. (From the London Economist, Nov. 2.] According to the latest announcements the Ger- mans are still making progress with their gold coinage at a rapid rate; and a notification has just been made as to their future intentions, which should be received with some interest. The facts as to the coinage are that the total coimed on the 12th of October was:— ‘Twenty-mark piece: £14,898,372 | Ten-mark piece: 1,734,271 322, 652,86 £16,682, 643 pi ly reported to the 7th of Sep- tember was £14,125,474, showing an increase of £2,507,169 in the five weeks between that date and the 12th of October, or at the rate of £500,000 per week. There has thus, at the latest date, been no relaxation in the rate of coining which has now been in progress for many months, In these circumstances @ notification is stated in the Ger- man newspapers to have been made to the effect that in the year 1873 the German government in- tends to keep on increasing the amount of ite gold | partmen 25,000,000, and claims Fda {nm proportion, fimita the tasue to seventy-tive or sixty percent. Were Germany encumbered with the same act aoe sian Bank, with upwards of twenty-four eas hards cash and 8 circulation above forty millions, would have succumbed already, while the pripct ple that one-third to two-fifths of issued notes, cov- ered in gold,is sufficient for general purposes, allows tho Prussian Bank to dispend its bargaina at five per cent, and still to be considered power- ful, without having the benefit of the Prussian Exchequer, overflowing for the present from ordi- nary sources even, SEIZED SMUGGLED GOODS. Oi <a a al The Seizure Department of the Custom Housc—In Appearance Like a Huge Jank Establishment—Contents—From & Needle to an Anchor—Smuggling Re- duced to a Scicnce—Valuable Goods and Common Rum Stored Together—A Piano and its Contents—Modus Ope randi of tne Contrabandistsa—The Law of Evading Payment of Duties. Asale of goods seized by government officers a various times is advertised from the Custom House to take place some time during next month. The exact day upon which the auction is to held has net been definitely settled. The reason therefor is that the law requires such goods to be advertised three weeks for claimants, who have the privilege of redeeming the wares updn payment of duties and expenses, All the seizures made by oficers of the customs cas ; under charge of Mr, Dudley P. Phelps, Deputy Collector of the Ninth division. The large room in the basement, under the rotunda of the Custom House, is fitted up for the purpose ef receiving the smuggled wares, over which Mr. J. R. Dillon exercises supreme supervision. A visit to this establishment amply repays all trouble. Piles upon piles of boxes, bales, trunks, cases, demijohn's, bottles of every shape, size and color; packages with every imaginable cover; valisea, cans, baskets and numerous other receptacles which can be made available to contain contra- band goods, fill up this large space and are bem Scheduled preparatory to being offered for sate under‘the hammer, to realize government duties, seizers’ moleties and fees of the principal Custom House éMicials, THR QUALITY OF THE ARTICLES to be sold is as varied as are the colors of the raim vow, and may be classified as good, bad and tm different. The variety of the goods would do credis to @ select junk establishment on a very large scale, Here may be found wares, —eee from a common jack knife to the most costly veivel cloak, trimmed with the finest and deareat fur; dress patterns of every texture, betweom common poplin and gros eas Silk, cloths, casal- mers, flannels, velvets, ribbons, laces, linens and @ thousand other fabrics too numerous to mention. ‘The greatest bulk of the seized goods, however, consists of smuggled cigars and cigarettes. Of the former there are now on hand about one hundred and twenty-five thousand, including such brands as Henry Clay, Ne Pius Uitra, Reina Victoria, Ke- galia Britannica, Flor del Fuma, &c., of choice Cuban fabric, while another portion’of tne ci are of German origin, and have a villainous flavor. Several millions of genuine La Honradez cigarettes: will likewise be offered at this and sold to the high- est bidder, THE SMUGGLED Goops, as a usual thing, are introduced into port by steer- age passengers landing at Castle Garden, tn trun and packages having the semblance of buggaze. It is amusing to see the variety of articles contained in one of these packages. Une lot, for instance, is made up. of four pieces black silk trimge, 144 yards; eleven pieces colored silk fringe, 198 yards; thirty-three colored silk cords and tassels; twenty-four pieces (2584; yards) colored chenille and five pieces colored ribbons, Another package contains thirty-five lace sol covers, valued on an average at about $10 each, ‘There is acase containing thirty dozen napkina, ninety-eight and a half yards table covering, 268 yards dress silk, &c. Qne old piano, boxed up, “well conditioned” for ® sea voyage, on bei opened, was found to contain, besides the soundin wires, flity-seven silver watches and one gold an one brass do., besides some silks for dresses. This lot will realize the seizing officer a nice litte moiety. Another valuable selection of goods, tured and stored here, contains various lots of human hair, running in bunches of two, five, eight and ten pounds and over, Good hair is very vaia- able, and readily realizes twice its weight in gold, Thus the list of seized goods might be continued ad libitum, filling columns of this paper: but the above is sufticient to give the reader an idea of the magnitude upon which smuggling is carried on. 16 must be remembered that ouly a small percentage of the contraband trafic is detected, there being so many avenues of escape for the contrabandisé and his plunder which are entirely outside of the pale of the customs officials to encompass or pursue. WAYS THAT ARE DARK “and tricks that are vain” should not be applie@ exclusively to the “Heathen Chinee,”’ but are fitted more aptly to those civilized personages who have reduced smuggling to a science. Yesterday one of this cleverly devised but bunglingly executed transactions came to light, demonstrating shrewd- ness on the part of the officer who seized the goods and ingenuity by the smuggler who planned the scheme. A passenger arriving in the steerage of the Bremen steamship Main, on the 13th inst, came to Castle Garden, having in his possession four heavy blankets. ‘Iwo of these were covered with black cloth and two with very fine red flannel Inspector Frank Meyer suspect the “blanketa’”*® and opening one with his penknife observed the lining to be otherwise than cotton batting. The ostensible coverings were seized, and on being rippea apart were found to contain ten Roplia dress patterns, fine red and white flannels, heavy beaver for two overcoats, fine broadcloth for dread coats and splendid cassimer for three pairs of pam- taloons. The value of the whole cannot be less than $350. A great deal of liquor is also gied by sailors and others, in small quantities and various meth: ods, Some of this spirit is good, while the most of it is of the tanglefoot order, worthy of having been distilled in the Fiftn ward of Brooklyn. ‘There are usually about three sales annually of seized from the Custom House emanating from this department—tnat is to ssy without being ordered by a Court of condemnation. The Collector is authorized by law to confiscate goods under $608 in value; su seizures above thet SmOnne meee 4 dergo the due process of le judication, if ‘condemned are sold by the United States Mar- shal on behalf of the Custom House authorities. There is @ great deal to be written about this de- interest to the public which our space to-day will not permit to elaborate. NEW YORK CITY. Comptroller Green paia yesterday the Depars ment of Public Parks for the use of their Depart- ment $30,000. “ A meeting of the Board of Revision and Vorree tion of Assessments was called for yesterday at the Comptroller's office, to act upon the conformation coinage. It intends to coin in that year:— 15,840,000 twenty-mark pieces £15, 840,000 3,960,000 ten-mark pieces... «+ 1,980,000 OUD sesvccccccsncsssessseccssssecnses asian OOO If this Lips ae ead is carried out the German de- mand for fo id for coinage is likely to be as great for year to come as it has been in the current year, while the supply will be much more dificult, owing to the depletion of the markets. The average an- nual yield of the gold-producing countries of the | world we have shown lately to be about twenty million pounds, so that the German demand alone would absorb very nearly the entire amount of the current annual production. THE CIRCULATION OF GOLD IN GERMANY. To THE EDITOR OF THE ECONOMIST: Sin—Hav! read your valuable article on the money market of last Saturday, | beg to draw your attention, with regard to German finances, to certain facts perhaps unknown or misunder- | stood im this country. I quite agree with you that Germany is in possession, as well of the twenty millions disappeared trom the Paris Bank since 1870, as of the many millions more drained from here; but, according to Parita- mentary documents, the military chest, as you call it, holds of it only one million and a hali sterling more than it always had before 1870 or 1866. ‘The seventeen millions sterling worth of gold coined already into the new German money are cer- tainly in circulation, or at least as mucn open to it as any hard cash in the Bank of Engiand; and if we do not yet discover much of it in the hands or | pockets of the public in general it is because sinc the admission of gold in Germany asa lcgatstan- dard, with a great chance of soon becoming the sole legal standard, the German banks, private and public, try to keep their spare cash quietly in the new gold coin and to get rid of their silver. The present overwhelming demand for gold is, therefore, not the consequence of German (na! cial mismanagement, but naturally follows out of the adoption of a standard alteration in a country where checks and Clea! {ouses are almost un- known, deposits theretore insignificant, and where | no central bank, as the Bank of England, balances hundreds of millions without the use of a single sovereign or bank Rote, Yet Germany 1s as thriving a country as any in Europe. But we have to deal, under these eae aes ee ty a of a money standard, suggested and supported by a colossal ransom to be paid in hard cash within a given time, which will, and must, drain the gold market till either tle retaining of the double standard is settled—a question expected to be de- cided by the next Reichstag—or till a better outiet tor silver than at present facilitates the exchange. ‘The ralsing of the discount in this country cannot thwart the purpose of a government bound to certain changes, and essed of ample means to do it. On the contrary, the higher the premium the more these means will lead to a command in this market; and although OF that process we | shall undergo certain ymporary ease, we must expect for a time sudden ductua- tions, and will in be made aware that we labor under a Bank act based more on & Saute than a principle—a figure which at a time When 10,000,000 of gold were considered a comfort- able stock at the bank, because it allowed an issuc Of 160 per cent uacovered noted, With 20,000,000 or | of assessment lists for street improvements; bat, ow to the absence of the Counsel to the Cor- poration, the meeting was adjourned till Mondap next, at one o'clock. ‘ ‘The Fire Commissioners yesterday appointed the Boara of Examiners for the Fire Department. Their names are as follows :—Chief Engineer Perley, | Assistant Chief Bates, Assistant Engineers | and Shay. Their work will be the ceamiaation et candidates for admission to, and promotion in, the Department, They hold their first session te morrow. Annie Young and Nellie Smith quarrelled, foughs and bled on Wednesday night last at 32 Bayard street. In the plenitude of her rage Annie laid hold of Nellie’s left cheek, nor did she relinquish It until she bad bitten off a good big mouthful. Both were yesterday morning urraigned before Justice Sbandiey at the Essex Market Police Court and held for trial in the special sessions. The fifty-ninth annual meeting of the Female As sistance Society, for the reitef of the sick poor, wae held yesterday in the Collegiate church, Mrs. Dr, Purdy presided, The report of the managers wae presented by Mrs. A. E. Oakley, Corresponding Secretary. The document details sundry interest ing cases of their society charities, “the following figures, from the report of Mrs, J. M. Bogart, Trea- surer, show,a very healthy financial condition :— Donations and subscriptions, $4,171 47; interest, premium, &c., $363 64; saies of bonds, $6,621 25; Comptroller Green’s donation on account, $3,000; disbursements, $4,200 87 for coal; managers (or distribution, $5,965 49—leaving a balance October 1, 1872, of $6,064 01, of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New York met at noon yesterday in room No. 21 Bible House for the purpose of organizing an Indian Hope Asso ciation, for the propagation of the Gospel among the Western tribes, Among the partics pree ent was a Chippewa Indian named J. J, Enmegahbowh, with his wife and child, who is an Indian missionary, stationed at the White Earth Reservation, Minnesota. Colonet Kemble said that the government at present waa in advance of the religious bodies in this work. He had 4 report from the Secretary of the Interior which said that it would be negessary to send moral and religious men out on such a mission. | is the first time in history, and a very magnificent fact, that the government supports them in this food work, iss Mary Emery, Secretary of the ‘omen’s Work Society, then read and submitted ® series of by-laws and constitution for the guidance of the society. A committee of three, consisting of Miss Wisner, Miss Mary Kmery and Mias ii. C. Kearny, was then appointed to confer on suitable uoiuinations for oiticers of the agsuciation, te render their report at the next geners! mocting.
