On Change to-day cotton was in moderately fair @emana, and 3c. per lb. higher for both “spot” -and “future.” Flour remained steady, and wheat and corn were in moderate demand, at essentially ‘apalterated prices. THE EXPORTS OF THE WERK. The total exports of domestic merchandis® from ‘Whe port of New York during the week ending Deeember 8, 1872, were $4,344,898. THE FOREIGN MARKET. ‘The cable advices show no important change in She tenor of the foreign markets and the situation ‘there, political and financial, has settled down into quiet, In London consols are quoted 9154 (ex in- erest) for the account and 92% for money. Five- ‘twenties are strong for the ’67's, which come 943, and the new fives are higher at 88%. Eries have ‘een active and closed this evening at 42%. THE FUNERAL OF HORACE GREELEY. ‘The Governors of the Stock Exchange met to-day ‘to take appropriate action with reference to the funeral of the late Horace Greeley, and decided to send a committee of ten as representatives of the board to be-present at the obsequies to-morrow. ‘The business of the Board will not be suspended. ‘The Gold Exchange subsequently decided to adjourn ‘o-morrow at one o’clock, and will send a deputa- tion of thirty members to represent the Board. The eommittee selected by the Stock Exchange ure as follows :— &. V. White, Thomas Denny, Jr., George H. Brod- head, C. Graham, T. B. Musgrave, C. J. Turner, Eugene Thomson, H, I. Morgan, Robert Colby, George W. McLean. : MONEY STRINGENT. The money market was active all day, and at times stringent, The lowest rate on call was 7 per cent, which occurred only where the collaterals ‘were government bonds or prime stock securities and the borrowers first class houses, and the high- 2st rate wag 116, which was paid in the shape of a eommission for “turning” the highest priced stocks. The scarcity of money thus indicated is greater than there is reason for expecting, consid- ering the return of currency from the West and ‘the interior, and is due to clique manipulation for effect at the Stock Exchange. The bulk of the @ay’s business was at 1-32, equivalent to about 11 per cent, and the market closed 7, gold, a 132, Mer- antile paper was quiet at 10 a 12 per cent for prime names. Foreign exchange was steady and anebanged at 108%; a 108% for prime sixty days sterling bills. GOLD STEADY—112% a 1127; The gold market was steady at 112%, which was the average of the day’s business, although quota- tions were made at 112%; a 112%. The market was @evoid of any new feature, excepting the appear- ‘nce as buyers of the parties known as “the Squeezists,” who were thought to be getting ready for another ‘‘corner” in cash gold. Some of the “shorts” who were afraid of such a contingency were willing to pay this afternoon a sixty-fourth for the use of gold to-morrow. The Sub-Treasury paid out $24,000 on account of interest and $2,400 on account 01 redeemed five-twenties, The course of the market is shown in the table -— GOLD FLUCTUATIONS, m2% «12P.M. 112% 2P.M 112% 3 P.

The ‘droopmg tendency of the market since the meet- tng of Congress is referable to the disappoinzment ‘of the public at the tenor of the Presidential and Treasury recommendations, the President fore- seoing No~opportunity for a reduction of the taxes, while Mr. Boutwell’s slipshoa apology for bis INFLATION OF THE CURRENCY has already drawn down upon him a resolution to investigate his particulary conduct in so doing:and the general right of the Treasury Department to issue or withdraw currency at pleasure. The rosy amd floreate future of the “bulls” at the Stoek Exchange, dependent s0 much upon ‘currency expansion, is thus suddenly oyerclouded atthe very outset of the session of Congress, and measures are initiated which may lead toa com- plete-negation of the powers Mr, Boutwell has no often assumed in this respect. It is no wonder then that the ‘bears’ have Jifted their long-hang- ing heads and opened operations in the stock mar- ket for LOWER PRICES. Their opponents have had a gala time of it ever since the Koston fire, and “torn about” is fair play in Wall street more than in any other place. The chief decline was in Pacific Mail, for the reason doubtless that that stock had the greatest rise since Saturday, its first impetus having been given by the President's extraordinary recommendation for increased subsidies to steamship lines, an influ. ence which hag since worn out, leaving the stock to be affected by the general influences at work in the market, and by such special ones as may be communicated by the pool manipulating or endea- voring to manipulate it. Western Union was fever- ish and weak, and rallied only faintly in its reactions, and finally relapsed to 7534, ita decline representing the DECREASED CONFINENCE of the street in the stock, now that the Postmaster General has committed himself to a policy antag- onistic to the scheme of absorbing the Western Union line for the postal telegraph service, Eric was heavy, on the exposure in the HERALD of the discrepancies in the official returns of the com- pany’s earnings, @ subject the reader will find treated of in an article further on. Union Pacific underwent a spasmodic rise to 377, and Harlem to 119, when the rest of the market was weak. In the case of Harlem the sudden advance ‘was Jaid npon a forthcoming SCRIP DIVIDEND, a theory which was not 80 stoutly believed when the price afterwards receded to 116}4. The best explanation is doubtless the near approach of the time for declaring the usual semi-annual four per cent cash dividend, not to speak of the enhance- ment of the stock by the settlement of the dispute between the New Haven and the Harlem roads and the lease by the former of depot facilities from the latter in the new grand depot at Forty-second street. As if to “point a moral,” the inconsequen- tial “C, C. and I. C.”? was firm in the midst of the distress and weakness attending its comrades on the ca!l, and held its way even more bravely than if it were the most important of the great dividend- paying shares.

The Cause of the Discrepancies in the Official Returne—Letters from the Presi- dent and Auditor of the Road. It will be seen Dy the following that the RERALD’s desire for enlightenment concerning the traffic of the Erie Railway has been productive of good re- sults. A perusal of the Auditor’s letter below will justify our complaints of inaccuracy and discrepan- cies in the official returns given to the press and public:— Erie Raitway Company, PRESIDENT’S OFFICE, New York, Dec. 3, 1872. Colonel 8. H. DunAN, Auditor Erie Railway Com- ny :— 1R—I notice in this morning’s HERALD an article (herewith enclosed) which shows that a misappre- hension exists as to the actual facts connected with our published accounts of the comparative earnings of the road this year and last. Please make a concise statement of the facts for publication as they appear from an analysis of the accounts of the company, and include in it a state- ment of the actual, compared with the published estimated weekly earnings for the months of No- vember, December, January, February, March and April of the last fiscal year. Yours respectfully, P. H. WATSON, President. The following is the reply of the Auditor, in response to Mr. Watson's request :— ERIE RAiLway COMPANY, DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTS, AUDIT OFFICE, New York, Dec. 3, 1872. Hon. P. H. Watson, President Erie Railway :: Dear Str—In the published statements of esti- mated weekly earnings for the first and second weeks of November a comparison was made with what purported to be the earuings of the corre- sanding weeks last year. Lhd expressing a doubt of the accuracy of he rab ished statement of earnings for November, 1871, and your desire that they should be investi- gated, I have gone carefully into the subject, and ave ascertained that the figures given for that month were greatly in excess of the actual earnings, a8 will be seen by the following com- parison :— Estimated last y Actual earnings. Over estimated. Estis ed last yt Actual earnings Over-estimated. se The investigatior isfles me that no reflance can be placed upon the estimates for November of | last year, and that the statements which have been published for the first two weeks of the present month shouid be corrected. 1 submit in this connection corrected statements of the first and second weeks of the present month of the estimated earnings as compared with the actual earnings of the same weeks of 1871 :— Corrected return of estimated weekly earnings, commencing November 1, 1872:— 1872. 1«71, ‘ 6 Days 6 Dayn For week ending November 7..... $id e302 lan November 1... ; $120,580 $342,102 Inerense one week to date 78a78 bee Corrected return of estimate (| weekly earnings, commencing November 1, 187: For week ending Rovember 18 15, Previously reported.......
