OF NAPOLEON. ‘The London and New York Markets Unaffected and Only a Slight Tremor at the Paris Bourse. WALL STREBT, } TuvEspay, Jan. 9—6 P.M. On 'Ohange to-day cotton was in moderately fair ‘emand and steady for “spot,’’ but from ic. to &16c. per lb, higher for ‘‘future.”” Flour was quiet and unchanged. Wheat and corn were dull and ‘weak, but not quotably lower. a THE FOREIGN MARKET, The.London quotations for consols continue firm Bt previous figures. United States bonds were 3 lower in the morning, but recovered, and closed Btrong at the best prices made in the current gctive speculation in these securities, The cable panounces that the directors of THE BANK OF ENGLAND, * gttheir regular weekly meeting this noon, reduced the minimum of the discount rate per cent—to 4% per cent—the bullion account of the bank show- Ing’ gain of £37,000. In the open money market the rate on stocks was quoted 834 per cent, or ene per cent less than the bank minimum. The market was wholly unaffected by TNE DEATH OF NAPOLEON, an event which had comparatively little influence even upon the Paris Bourse, where rentes declined poly 7 centimes from the closing quotation of the “ previous day, but subsequently advanced 15 centimes and reacted 8 centimes, so that the quo- tation wound up this evening exactly as it left off esterday—viz., 53.82. Eries in London were titer, closing 60%, equivalent in our currency bo 02%. Naa TRE GOVERNMENT GOLD SALE. The advertisement of the government offering to Bell a million of gold elicited bids to the number of Ewenty for a total of $4,445,000, at prices ranging Trom 111,51 to 112.30, The latter price was bid for $1,300,009, so that the Treasury had no difficulty in lacing the entire million at 112.30, the award jing made in two lots. As the market price at Boon was 112% the sale was a satisfactory trans- ction on the part of the government. f MONEY STRINGENT. The antictpations of an easier working of the money market have been again disappointed, at Jeast so far as their realization was connected with to-day’s business. The rate on cali opened at 7 per * pent coin to the Stock brokers, and advanced gra- ually through the scale of commissions of 1-64 and a-32 until, ata few minutes before three o'clock, je was paid in addition to7 per cent. The last Mealings were at a relaxation to 1-32 and interest; put the market was stringent to the close. Among \the government dealers the rates were 7 per cent purrency aud 7 per cent coin, the larger houses eing freely supplied at the lower of these figures, » THE LENDERS ing the national banks. Mercantile paper con- nued neglected, and prime names were quoted 9 B 12 per cent discount. Foreigm exchange was mominaily steady, the leading bankers keeping the game quotations on their bulletins; but, with the Yowertng of the Bank of Engmnd discount rate, ight sterling became weaker and was to be had Bt 110% a 110%. The tendency of the sixty-day rate to advance for the same reason was subse- quently counteracted by a pressure to sell some borrowed bills, sales of prime sixty-day sterling on ‘the street having been reported at as low as 10034. oe GOLD STRONG—112}¢ A 112)6 A 1124. ‘The expectations of a specie shipment to-day were fulfilled, the carly firmness in foreign ex- bhange making the alternative the preferable one with three banking houses, Who together sent out B consignment to Europe of $850,000 gold coin. ‘The effect upon the gold market was to occasion a Yise from 112% to 11234, a reaction to 112% being followed by a second rise to 112}; when the result ofthe government gold sale was announced, the competition being unusually large. Subsequently the impression got avout that the larger holders of id were trying to sell and that the plump bid of 12,30 for the million of government gold was in- ‘ended to help their plans, whereupona fresh re- action to 112% ensued, the closing ie DEULINE IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE “pttenaing the sales on the street of borrowodjixty- flay sterling bills indncing a quiet and weaker tone to the final dealings of the board. The Sub- Wreasury paid out $410,000 on account of interest and $4,000 on account of redeemed five-twentics. The course of the market was wholly independent of the news of Napoleon's fleath, The telegraphic announcement was flour- Jshed for effect upon the price, but without suc- ness, The Gold Room watched the Leadon market, nd was guided by the calmness there prevailing. fae chief fuctuations of the day are shown in the bable:— a A.M.

STOCKS WEAK AND LOWER, The stock market was weak and feverish, with a gradual decline, which the “bears” facetiously termed a continuance of “the January thaw.” The theories of the street, while quite numerous as to the philosophy of the movements of the mar- het, may be reduced to two. The “bears” assert that the “bulls” are running up New York Cen- tral in order to sell the rest of the market. On the other hand, the “bulls” say that the ‘beara’ are running down Pacific Mail in order to buy the resPofthe market and load up for “the January rise,” or, rather, the “Spring rise,” the former being generally acknowledged A FLASH IN THE PAN, ifnot a delusion and a smare, to the hundreds of luckless operators who lugged their stocks through the stringent money of December to find prices go down as money relaxed, The strong feature to- day and the card for the time being. was Western Union Telegraph, which advanced from 803, to 8234 and closed at 814g. Exceptional firmness was also shown by 0. C. &I.C,, but the others were lower, and subsequent to the spasm of stringency in money fell off 34 a 1% per cent, Pacific Mail dropping to 70. New York Central, while active, was less prominent, the interest of the market seeming to centre upon Western Union, which ta likely to be an object of tively contention between the two sides of the speculative element of the street. ‘ HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

THoRSDAY, Jan. 9—6 P. M. Trade circles were generally very quiet to-day, and there was scarcely s0 much buoyancy and firmness, though there was no disposition to force sales. Cotton was quiet, while at the Produce Exchange the markets were almost at a complete stand, Flour was nominally quiet, as was like- wise wheat; but while prices were nominal, in the absence of sales of moment, there was no disposition to press salex, 80 that prices could scarcely be called lower, Indeed, samples of prime Spring were largely withdrawn as soon as it save on a decidedly lower basis, became evident that there were no buyers Corn was without movement and prices were nominal, the tendency being downward, in oats, which carried prices up fully le, per bushel. Whiskey was in more demand and decidedly higher. rates were unchanged, Freights were comparatively quiet, but Tonnage was still scarce and charters few Ii Humber. Provisions were quiet as a general thing, but the markets were firm. Lard was dealt in to a considerable extent for fature delivery, at full prices. Cotton was in mod- erately fair demand and steady for “spot,” white “future” ruled firmer. Those in che combination were asking former prices, but | Petroleum remained nominal. lots from outside partios wore obtainable at much lower figures. Spirits of turpentine was active and firmer and rosin was in better demand at about former prices. Corres.—There was quite an active movement in Rio to-day, and (hé market was very strong. Other descrip" tions were quiet but firm.

It was expected, and with great confidence, that businees in real estate circles would assume lively proportions after the first fush of the holiday ex- citement was over; bat this anticipation was com- pletely upset by the bad weather we have had thus far, which precludes inspections of property located beyond the Central Park. Another cause of the stagnation Is the fact that the dividends on stocks, bonds (except United States securities) and other investments are not paid until the latter part of this month, thus locking up a great dealof money which otherwise hae at once be invested in roperty on receip' 7 riew private pees were effected yesterday by following brokers :— ke ‘evonson & Son—The three story high stoop brown stone house No, 66 West Forty-fich reet, 20X50x100 feet, to Henry Elderd for $24,000 5+ vo two full lots, north side of 1ist street, 338 feet east of Sixth avenue Boulevard, for $8,500.

The men claim that their duty 1s laborious, if not greater than the police, and they receive $1,200 per annum, while the firemen only get $1, firemen have to do patrol duty nigit and day, the same as lice, and their expenses for uniforms, &c., are eavier, owing to the fact that they destroy more clothing than the police. It is said that the Com- ue Savas We REGRONGA LUCIEN | STOKES AT THE TOMBS. ele He Inveighs Against terviews an@ Prison Arrangements. Stokes has not yet been transferred to his ol@ quarters in the second tier of the Tombs, but wil probably to-day be allowed to vacate cell Na & He complains that his present quarters are cole and damp, and says that he has to wear his over- coat and a comforter constantly in order to keep himself warm. It has been settled that the Sherif, and the Sheriff only, has the disposition of the prisoner who may be condemed to death preceding the time of the execution of his sentence. The statutory law of the State enforces this rule im re- ty to prisoners under charge of the Sheriff tokes was yesterday allowed to walk in the yar® of the prison for ashort time, and seemed to enjoy himscll very much at the chance which was givem him to breathe the tresh air. In Oe ‘ing to the HeRALy reporter, he stated that he expected te gct into his old cell as soon as the bugs were. cleaned out of what he said the newspapers called a» “palace.” “Why,” sald Stokes, “they call my cele @ palace. [have just got the carpet from its stone floor in here. The carpet cost $3, You cannes make a palace of a cell with a three-dollar carpet. Resides this, I wish to say that an ipterview hel@ with me by @ reporter of a morning paper is false, It {3 all throngh interlarded with oaths and profanity. deny the trout of that interview. It has annoyed my family very mach to tmnk-that such iow peanees aud such useless profanity could be attributed me. Ido not think that a newspaper should allow any employé to wbyse its confidence in that mam- ner, and | thimk it ungenerous ip a newspal when Lam here locked up in a cell to take such ® contemptible advantage of a prisoner. Hereaiter TU shalt not see uny reporter unless I know him per- Sonally, and I shall give nothing to the newspapers unless it shail ve given over my own signature. It. is ashame that so many people should desire te hound me down, and I disclaim all these news] er interviews, unless I may mention those wi ave been published in the Heap.” The counsel for Stokes have their exceptions Dearly prepared, and it ls understood that a stey of proceedings will be obtained from some one of the thirty-two Supreme Court Judges of the State of New York. THE KIDD ARSON CASE. Investigation by the Fire Marshal Testimony of a Neighbor of the Ac- oused, The following testimony was taken inthe case yesterday before the Fire Marshal :— Joseph T., Mott stated—I am a member of the firm of Mott & Turpin, produce dealers; we occupy the basement and first floor of No. 83 Murray street for the storage of apples; Ihave known Mr. Kidd about three weeks; was up in his store on Satur- day last, between three and four o'clock; went te see him about three barrels of apples he had ordered; I noticed a large tin measure, holding # gallon I should think, sitting on the stove; did not notice what was in it; Mr. Kidd said he put that on the stove because his tea kettle leaked; the day after New Year's Day Mr. Kidd came down to our store and made some inquiries about the concern that formerly occupied the place; he said he had lived in eat dread during the time these people occupied the premises, that he had expected to be burned eus and was very glad the firm had left; that he did not fear so much about his stock, for he was fully in- sured, but incase he was burned it would injury his business very much; he inquired if we were in- sured: I answered | did not think we would be com- sidered prudent business men if we had not at tended to that.

The late Assistant District Attormey John R. Fellows ap- eared for the defence and the case was set down for examination to-day, the defendants im the meantime being locked up. THE OWNERS OF MAN TRAPS WAKING UP The Fire Commissioners Determined te Follow Them Up. The proposed investigation by the Fire Commis stoners of the various public buildings, manufacto- Ties, concert halls, &c., has somewhat startled many of the owners of these places, and yesterday several proprietors of these man traps became alarmed and are about to overbaul their premimes to suit the Commissioners. In the lower portion of the city—that 1s, below Canal street—there are no less tlian 260 old and dilapidated buildings, al? condemned, which have been altered time agaip, five and six stories in ge which are crowded from early morn until night with human beings, if any of them should take fire in the lower portion tvcre would be ae possible means of egcane :or those on the upper floor, In. fag, waved, ould come down with ook: wavuld the slightest thing give WAY. A large. number are piled up with heavy machinery, ana several of the inspectors state that it is a wonder that many ef them have not ere this been de- stroyed. In one building in William street there are over four hundred men and women crowded together ina rear building daily, with only one passage way leading out of the same, two feet six inches in width. Notone half of them could out in case of fire, The Fire Commissioners tend to spare no pains or expense to furnish to the ublic a full description of these combustible uildings, the names of the Owners and wh: 4 are allowed to be occupied in violation of the law.
