WALL STREET, FRIDAY, Jan. 24~6 P, u.} On 'Change to-day “spot” cotton was only in «moderate demand, but advanced 4c, per Ib., while ‘for future delivery the market was active at an ad- wance of from sc. @ 3-16c. per lb, Flour was less active, but firm, Wheat was quiet and a shade seasier to sell, while corn was steady and in ma- derately fair demand. THE DRY GOODS IMPoRTs. ‘The total imports of foreign dry goods at the port of New York, for the week ending January 23, 1873, ware $4,363,506, The amount marketed during the ‘same period was $3,476,655. The Custom House return ef imports of other ‘merchandise is not due until to-morrow. Mean- ‘time an estimate fixes the amount at over six mil- #ions, so that the total imports of foreign goods for ‘the week will probably reach the vicinity of $10,500,000. THE FOREIGN MARKET, The London quotations show a sharp advance in ‘United States five per cents, both ten-forties and ‘the new bonds, the latter rising to 90%, exclusive of the February coupon, equivalent to pretty pearly par. The advance is ascribed to delinerate urging of the market by the firms composing the Syndicates, the transactions being attended with considerable activity and excitement. Tne six per cents.or five-twenties come ‘4 better, and consols firm, with very little difference between cash ana ‘account prices, Erie shares advanced to 51, bat closed at a reaction to 40%;, equivalent in our cur- wency to 63: French rentes were lower at 54, possibly on account of a loss of 500,000 francs in the specie account of the Bank of France for the past week, MONEY ACTIVE. The money market was easy and steady at 6a 7 ‘per cent up to as late as half-past two o'clock, a ‘90d deal of business being dene on stock collater- ais at the lower rate, which among the government houses was rather the prevailing than the excep- tional rate. In the remainder of the interval to ‘the close of banking hours a sudden scarcity was, ‘developed, the consequence in great part of the’ darger volume of business and advanced quotations sat the Stock Exchange, and the rate in sidewalk dealings advanced to 7 coin and 7 currency plus 1-64 to 1-32 per cent, In explanation of the activity shus precipitated it is said that money has been going BACK AGAIN TO CHICAGO, where exchange on New York is at a discount sum- cient to call money in that direction, the course of the reflux so unusual at this season not being ac- the local monetary wants of Chicago have not only “ast, but have made a demand upon balances At the same time the reserve of our city banks has been impaired by @ heavy loss of Specie this week on account of the specie shipments gone and engaged to go, and the drain of coin into the Treasury to pay for the customs on another ‘week's heavy importation of foreign goods, Under | these circumstances an UNFAVORABLE BANK STATEMENT to-morrow Is looked for, although from the system of averages the actuai dimination of the resources of the banks may not be tuily revealed therein. in mercantile circles money was reported steady, NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. moderate business wasdone at 110% for prime bankers’ sight sterling bills, and sales of prime sixty day bills were reported at 109% a 109%. A number of settlements and renewals are in prog- ress, which wilt account for the decline in aixty-day bills, GOVERNMENTS RAMPANT. ‘The further advance in gold and the contagious imfinence of the sharp rise im the new five per cents, not to speak of the general exhilarating ef- fect of the resumption of operations for refunding the national debt through the agency of the Syndi- cates, led to a rampant market for government bonds, the advance in the leading issues, eutside the threatened 62's, being fully % a % per cent, the improvement extending even to the currency sixes, which closed at 114% a 114%. The ten-ferties and THE NEW FIVES ADVANCED the remarkable extent of 114 a 1X per cent, closing at the equivalent of 1135; “flat,” with gold leaving off at 114. Were it not for the clique in the Gold Room the new Syndicates would soon ciose up the gap between the new fives and the par of gold. The following were the closing quotations :—United States currency sixes, 114% @ 114% ; do., 1881, regis- tered, 11614 a 1164; do., do., coupon, 118% @ 118%; do., tive-twenties, registered, May and November, 115 a 11534; do., do., 1862, coupon, do., 11534 a 11534; do., do., 1864, do., do., 11544 & 1163¢; do., ,do., 1865, do., do., 11634 0 1165; do., do., 1867's, registered, January and July, 115% a 11534; do., do., 1865, cou. pon, do., 115% a 115g; do., do., 1867, do., do., 11644 11634 ; do., do., 1868, do., do., 11634 a 11644 ; do. ten- forties, registered, 113% a 11444; do., do., coupon, 115 a 11534; do. fives of 1881, registered, 113 a 11335 ; do., do., do,, coupon, 114% a 115.

The gold market was steady and frm most of the aay and down to within half an heur of the close of banking hours made no advange upon the previous day’s best quotation’s, despite the announcement that the steamers to-morrow would take out about two millions of specie.

See SEESESESESESSS S58se quotation up to 11444 a 11444, a few sales occurring at 11414, the price subsequently relapsing to 114, at which it closed. The desperate energy of the clique has been rewarded so far with flattering suc- cess, but their operations should not enlist too much assistance from the non-professional class of dealers. THE SPECIE SHIPMENT to-morrew, which, if it all goes, will include $2,000,000 of gold and $200,000 o1 silver, is regarded in many quarters as a losing piece of business in view of the current rates for sterling, but a bold operation in support of their speculation. The pian was originated years ago by young Ketchum, and adopted by him when speculating for a rise in gold, the expense of specie shipments being a Picayune outlay as compared with the profits of the operations to be helped by their effect. The parties alleged to be allied in the pres- ent gold clique are among the shrewdest of the Wall street fraternity, and have calculated every move with the utmost deliberation. It should not be inferred from our remarks that the banking houses who have engaged specie for shipment are in the combination. The sending of the specie is with them a mere matter of business and has been probably PAID FOR BY THE CLIQUE, Who, as an equivalent for the goid sent, have doubtless bought and locked up biils of exchange. The novelty of this last method of furthering a “bull”? movement in gold attests the ingenuity of the parties concerned. By its means they have kept up the rates of sterling despite the lower- ing of the rates for money in London; but they are patching up and sustaining a dyke against the influx of a stream which sooner or later will overflow their barrier and overwhelm their enterprise. Meantime they have capital, prestige and indisputable pluck and energy. Possessed of these qualities, there is no telling how long they may persist in damming the current and how high they may raise the tide in the gold mar- ket. Théir present need seems to be a “short” interest, of which there is but a trifing amount, consequent upon the universality with which the merchants closed up their gold and foreign ex- change accounts during the last months of 1872, while the small fry speculators covered up much earlier in THE GOLD FRESHET. The course of the market is shown in the table :— In the goid loan market the rates ranged from 5 per cent for carrying to flat for borrowing. The Operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as fol- lows :— Gold cleared.. me Gold balances. Mig 177, aoe Currency balances. Dorset The Sub-Treasury paid out $277,006 on account of interest and $4,000 on account of redeemed ive. twenties, STOCKS ACTIVE AND UNSETTLED, The stock market was again active with, in the earlier portion of the day, a fairly buoyant tone, and for some of the latest speculative favorites a 0. ca Hoo Mitre wa dm, pt Nv Cent Ist new 000 Ohio M con sf. fow at West 2d m. tou Mil & St ist. 2000 B, H & erie Ls: 1000 M & StP.

The snow storm tended to restrict transactions very materially. The export move- ment in breadstuffs was checked by the marked discrepancy between the views of buyers and sell- ers—the latter bidding considerably below the prices current @ day or two ago. Flour was there- fore very quiet, while wheat was decidedly dull and lower to sell, particularly the common grades, But in the absence of demand holders did not press sales, though in some cases willing to grant a con- cession. Corn was firm, but not very active. Oats were in good demand and higher. Whiskey was in demand, and prices again jumped up nearly 2c, per gallon, the market closing firm at the im- provement. In provisions there was a freer move- ment and a firmer market, both pork and lard bringing higher prices. Freights were quiet and rates rather favored the shipper. Cotton, under less lib- eral offerings and a fair demand (principally for future), ruled firm at 6c. per Ib, better prices. Groce: ries were generall; t, but prices not materially al- tered.
