WALL Street, Saturpay, Dec, 7—6 P. iu. On ‘Change to-day cotton was in fair demand for “spot,” but at irregular prices, being lower for ordinary, and firmer for middling and good mid- dling. Fiour was dull, but unchanged. Wheat was also dull, but more or less nominal. While corn was firmer, but likewise quiet, THE IMPORTS OF THE WEEK. The total imports of foreign goods at this port during the past week were $3,943,566, made up of $391,218 of dry goods and $3,552,248 of general mer- chandise. THE COTTON MOVEMENT. The receipts of cotton at all the ports for the past week were 133,973 bales, against 134,429 bales the previous week. The total receipts since Sep- tember 1, 1872, are 1,278,930 bales, against 998,051 for the same period of last year, showing an increase tn THE PRESENT CROP of 280,879 bales, The exports from all the ports for the week were 76,416 bales, against 70,959 last year. The totai experts for the expired portion of the | cotton year are 593,827 year. against 411,838 at the corresponding date in 1872. THE LONDON MARKET was a trifle better for consols and steady for United bales, against 471,148 last States bonds. Eries were firmer and 34a 44 per ! cent higher, Otherwise the market was reported quiet aud dull, with money showing an easier ten- | dency. THE BANK STATEMENT. The weekly statement of the associated banks is | anfavorable, owing to the locking up of greenbacks by the operators at the Stock Exchange and the withdrawal of legal tenders by the Treasury. The small tine of foreign imports during the week has is euabled the banks to make a gain in their specie item. The deposits have increased over three mil- ons, reflecting the return of currency to the city from the interior, while the loans have been en- larged-nearly two millions. pares with tts predecessor of last week as {fol- lows:— Nov, 30.

An Important Tobacco Suit—An Action to Recover $735,644 for Breach of Con- tract=The City of Salem Water Pipe Case. $300.00 Wasntnaton, D. C., Dec. 7, 1872. No. 25. Maddox et al. vs. United States.—Appeal from the Court of Claims.—This suit was brought by the appellants to recover $735,644 as damages for an alieged breach of contract for the purchase of tobacco, The Court of Claims found that the appellants were not the owners of the tobacco at the time of the contract made with the Treasury agent, but purchased it within the rebel lines thereafter, and that the contract was therefore void under the Treasury regulations concerning the purchase eae of insurrectionary States, The appeal insists that the contract is valid un- der and by the act of Congress, and that the regu- lation t be construed as a part of the act, and not a8 al thority varying it, The government contends that the agent had no authority to nego- tiate jor anything not the property.of the contract- ing party at the time of the contract; and that, as it is shown that the tobacco was purchased within the rebel lines aiter the date of the contract, there can be no recovery. James Hughes, for appellant; Solicitor Ge l for government.

J., for iron pipe ond castings received and mostly used by the corporation of Salem, The city admitted that it nad received and used the pipes to a considerable extent, but alleged gage they were not equal in value to the quality called for by the contract, and claimed that they had already paid full value for the quality of castings received. Any balance due, it was claimed, should be deducted a3 damages from the plaintiffs bill. The verdict was for the cit and it 1s here urged that the Court erred in sustain- ing the above theory of the city; that as the arti- cles were received and used the corporation must pay for them the contract price and is estopped to deny that the goods were not of the quality callea for by the contract.

Transactions to real estate during the past week have not been of a very inspiring character, most of the sales that have occurred being mannly fore- closures vy order of the Courts, and property thus sold, a3 a usual thing, realized all it was worth. The fact of the matter is that ready money to in- vest in real estate is exceedingly scarce, conse- quently business in that line has been quite stag- nant, There is, every prospect now that a decided movement will take place withina few days tu west side property, which will materially affect lots about. the Central Park from Seventy-second to 130th street, and even beyond. We can assure our readers that the Court of Appeals has aftirmed the report of the commissioners om the award of assessments on THE RIVERSIDE PARK, and Commissioner Van Nort intends to proceed with the work of improvement immediately, This information comes from reliable authority and may be accepted as a solid fact. The etfect the early completion of this park must have on the surrounding property cannot be other- wise than highly beneficial. The Riverside Park itself, when completed, will rival the great Central Park in beauty, and, in some respects, even sur- pass it. It will overlook the majestic Hudson, having for a prospective the grand Palisades on the opposite shore. The Riverside Boulevard, on the east side of the park, must necessarily become one of the most, if not the most, fashionable drive of the city. The Commissioners 07 THE NEW BOULEVARD EXTENSION above 155th street, ranning through Washington Heights, consisting of Messrs. William C, Traph- agen, John McClave and William A. Seaver, have issued a circular to owners of property contiguous to and which will be affected by the proposed im- provements, to meet them on the Isth and lyth instant at the office of the Corporation Counsel, 8: Nassau street, lor the purpose of discussing ine following questions :— First=The ieee actual value of the property to be acquired ‘Second—The area of land benefited by the im- provement; and Third—What proportion, if any, shonld be assessed om the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty of che city. The above is a novel and at the same time A VERY IMPORTANT MOVEMENT on the part of commissioners appointed to make awards ior damages to real estate by public im- provements, and speaks volumes for the sensible course pursued by these gentiemen. ‘This is the first instance where a commission conterred with those directly atfected by their awards. burthermore, as Commissioners are empowered by the law to oe the corporation with one-third, one-half or three-quarters of the cost of the improvement, they are naturally very anxious to ascertain the v! of those holding property on the proposed line of the new boulevard, and instead of throwing obsta- cles in the way, as has been customary in such en- terprises, help the undertaking along, both moraily and tntellectually. ‘The Commissioners have already possession of THE MAP and are progressing satisfactorily with the work. They intend to make a personal examination of the property, commencing to-morrow morning, in order thas they may know from actual survey how to adjudge such as Will be affected by their action, Mr. John McClave has been placed upon the com- mission on account of his great experience in the valuation of real estate, He will certainly do jus- tice to the property owners, as well as to the cor- poration, veral of the finest villas at Washing- ton Heights will be greatly affected by the con- struction of this new boulevard, which in many in- stances will run immediately through some portion of the property, if not directly through the centre, ‘The commission gives notice that simple afida- vits of parties in relation to damages will not be entertained. Witnesses are required to testify in person and consent to be subjected toa rigid cro: examination by the Commissioners it deen tor the ‘interest of either party int mpletion of the Riverside Park, the Zoolog- den and Art Museum, as well as the several boulevards, must needs give to west side property an impetus which nothing short of an earth- juake can retard. [f a continuous line for travel- ing could now be established all along Broadway to {he Central Park and thence to Kingsbridge the value of real estate along that route would be en- hanced a hundred ad cent. There is a great deal to be written on this snbject, which will in proper time receive due attention in this column, The only sale of property which took place yesterday at the R Estate Exchange was a house and lot, 24 Coenties slip, 21.2 feet front, 21 teet rt, 50 feet on one side and 51.1 feet on the other, by order of Nathaniel Jarvis, Jr., feree, to H.

On Friday night, | during the proceedings of the Com- | mon Council, Alderman Macknet, Chairman of the Committee on Finance, started quite a — breeze by opposing further action in relation to proposed street improvements, on the ground that the city was going ahead too fast in this direction; 80 fast that it was no longer able to procure funds The city is now in debt some two millions of dollars, and he, as Chairman of the committee, had been unable to raise money any longer to keep matters going. Hence he was opposed to going any more into debt for expensive improvements — Despite his protest the | not at all becessary. Council passed the Ordinances he had opposed, whereupon he peremptorily tendered bis resig- | nation as head of the Finance Commit- tee. The Council refused to accept it, but Mr. Macknet said he could no longer serve. These facts having got abroad created great ex- citement in business and private circles yesterday, and gave rise to all sorts of rumors about the ap- proaching bankruptcy of the city, &c. During the afternoon the HERALD reporter Visited the Mayor, Mr. Ricord, to obtain his view of the situation. The Mayor gave it as bis opinion that the city Was as well able to pay its debts now as ever before. except that somebody would have to wait a little. | The city, he said, has money owing It, to say nothing of property more than enough to clear its own indebtedne: He saw no cause for the slight- est alarm, Ex-Alderman Spencer Scott harbored much the same opinions. He preceded Mr. Macknet as Chairman of the Fi- nance Committee. Mr, Macknet was next visited by the reporter, He said he was not will- ing to transact business for the city on any other principle than that which governed him’ in tne transaction of his own private business. Three Months ago he had cautioned the Street Committee | to haul in its horns and — warned the members that trouble would otherwise ensue; but no heed was paid to his counsel.

Old Judge Dilloway was arrested on the charge of rjury, preferred by the Ring, and, to make he arrest more annoing. and humiliating, Justice Chambers, of Jersey City, had the old mun taken before him, although had been already given before Justice Martin, in Green- ville. Dilloway now carries the war into Africa. He had a warrant issued by Justice Aldridge for the arrest of Justice Chambers, whom he charges with having him arrested through motives of malice and with intent to degrade him. Justice Chambers gave bail in the sui ot $500, before Justice Cutter, to answer the charge. The people of Greenville have at last ar- rived at the conclusion that, bad as would be their consolidation with Jersey City, their condition under the pentarchy ia worse. eee MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
