On ’Change to-day cotton was dulland more or less nominal. Flour remained dull. Wheat was nominally lower and cern was very quiet but about steady. THF EXPORTS OF THE WEEK. ‘The total exports of domestic merchandise from the port of New York during the week ending Feb- Tuary 18, 1873, were of the specie value of $5,641,326. THE FOREIGN MARKET. The London quotations to-day were firm for consols and irregular for United States bonds, the 767s having declined ‘4 and the ten-forties +f and the new fives having advanced 4 per cent. Money in the open market was quoted as lending at 244 per cent on consols. Erie shares were active and advanced to 5244, closing at 52's, equivalent in our currency to about 6533. MONEY STRINGENT. The money market was more stringent, and at times during the day fairly earned the designation of stringent. Among the government dealers the rate ranged from 7 currency to 7 gold, the lenders being parties who make it a rule to accept no other collaterals than government bonds, But among the stock brokers the rate ranged from 1-64 to 1-16, in addition to 7 per cent, the average of ‘the day’s business havimg bee 1432 and interest, equivalent to about 183, per cent per annum, These extravagant terms were paid quite as a mat- ter of course throughout the day, 8q accustomed has the street become to this UNSEASONABLE CONDITION ofthe money market, the only relaxation occur- ring quite close upon three o'clock, when some Joans were made at as low as 7 per cent coin, as if some parties had overborrowed early in the day or had been waiting for a severer pinch than 1-16. Accounts, however, had been made up quite carly, commencing with the rate of 1-32 in the forenoon. Mercantile paper continues neglected and nominal. ‘The foreign exchange market was steady $n the forenoon and weak in the afternoon, when prime sixty-day sterling was lowered to 109, sight bills being already down to® 110. Sales of both kinds were made at 108% and 109%, but not to any important extent, the bor- rowed bills having been absorbed and few new ones being offered. GOLD LOWER—114% A 11434. It was a day of realization on the part of the gold clique, who opened tie gold market strong and advanced the price to 114% a8 @ preliminary *- alling, which they commenced under the cover Ween “ton, Pheir offerings carned of this early dives. ‘” movement is the price down told.

The Sub-Treasury paid ‘Out $80,000 on account Of interest and $3,000 on ac- count of redeemed five-twenties. The course of the market is shown in the table:— 10 A. M. 1145) 14% ids + 14% + Way 11435 @ 11895 In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 7 per ‘cent for carrying to fat for borrowing. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as Jollows:— Gold cleared Gold balances. Currency balance SOUTHERN SECURITIES ULL. Outside the Tennessees, which were firm and better, the Southern list was quiet and barely steady. The improved feeling recently in the Tennessees is probably due to the fact that an ap- peal to a higher tribunal than the State Courts will doubtless decide that the new issues of the Bank 50,141,000 4,084,434 + 1,240,362 of Tennessee are not binging upen the State for | | the reason that evidence can be furnished that the debt they represent was created in support of the rebellion—an obligation which, under the United States laws, must be repudiated.

STOCKS QULL AND STEADY. The stock market was dull and, in its general features, steady. The more conspicuous features were Erie and Western Union, the former being weak and declining 134 per cent, and the latter being strong and advancing 1% per cent. The re- cent advance in Erie, the price this torenoon touching 65%, in sympathy with the London mar- | +f ket, is attributed to the circulation of a rumor, which probably found its way across the Atlantic, to the effect that the company had discovered an- other heavy claim against Jay Gould, who promised tomake a further “restitution.” The decling to. day, however, is based upon the action of THE STATE SENATE, at the suggeation of Senator Johnson, in adopting to investigate the affairs of the company, with “power to send for persons and papers.” Senator Johnson, who heads this movement, i@ a prac- tical railroad man, and is eminently capa- ble of investigating the charges, that the latest administration of Erie afiaira js sus- ceptible of more or less rejormation. ‘The dividend of 1% per cent recently declared on Erie stock, generally believed not to have been earned, and thought by many to have been made for speculative purposes, will doubtless be one subject of this legislative inquiry, The advance in Western Union was attributed to a movement to corner Jay Gould, whe is reputed to be short of it; but the cause is more probably the discounting of the ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS and the shelving for another year ot the rival postal telegraph project, Lake Shore was weak and de- clined vo 96. Union Pacific was strong and advanced tion to the road is mitigating. St. Paul was active at . the early board, with an advance to 52%. Boston, Hartford and Erie was lower on a denial of the Vanderbiits of their ambition for control of the corporation, and Harlem fell off to 123%. Other- wise the market was steady, and Nuctuated hardiy more than 4 @ 34 per cent, the changes, such as they were, being mostly in the downward direction, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

A Rumor Tffat Jay Gould is About to Make Another Restitution—Mr, 8. L. M. Barlow Says There is No Truth In It The Erie Officials Ignorant About It— Mr. Barlow’s Opinion. Rumors were thickly flying about Wall street yesterday that Mr. Jay Gould intended making another “pestigution”’ to the Erie Railroad, and the effect Was generally to give a biloyanicy to the price of the stock, which had been falung off since the declaration of the dividend, The matter w: discussed ag if it were * A PAIT ACCOMPLI, ‘and the doubts seemed to be few on the subject of the credibility of the report. ‘A reporter of the HERALD called at the Erle oMce to ascertain the truth of the report, President Watson was not to be seen; but, in conversation | with some of the officers, the reporter agcertained that if there were any truth in the report it was, at events, not known among the Erie officers. Ea entl man seen said he understood that when Jay Gould made his “restitution” it was Un+ derstood to be bi IN PULL for all claims, and that the transaction was mnder- stood to put anend to all further claims by the Brie Railway, and that therefore it seemed im- probable there was anything of the kind goin on again.

Taking the matter fairly into consideration, it has been one of great benefit to the road,” + mm, a REAL ESTATE MATTERS, | Business Reviving—Real Rapid Transitev The Northern Boulcvard—Stirring Re= monstrance of Property-Owners Against Suspending the Improvement—Eighth. Avenue, Between Fifty-ninth and 110th. Streets, Must be Known as “Central Park Avenue”—One-Half of the Proprie= torson the Line Have Signed There= for—Sales Held Yesterday. A really ammating and exciting scene it was to witness the activity displayed yesterday at the Real Estate Exchange, six auctioneers selling at the same time, .the stentorian voice of the one drowning’the cry of the other as each extolled the merits of the particular piece of property he had under the hammer, afd a room jammed full of * people, taking part in the exciting proceedings, sufficiently indicative of a revival of business, Such was the aspect of affairs in the salesroom of the property mart, between the hours of twelve: and half-past one yesterday afternoon, The particulars of the various sales taking place: there are given below. REAL RAPID TRANSIT for the residents on the upper end of the east side, especially at Yorkville, has received an impetus, the news of which will be gratefully heard by all those who now depend upon the street railways running to Harlem for: transportation to ther homes. The Harlem Steamboat Company made: arrangements yesterday for a piece of property an@bulkhead at the foot of Eighty-fourth street, East River, leasing the same from Mr. James Hogg for a nominal sum, for the purpose of making landings between Harlem and Fulton ferry, which now count ten tripseach way. The time consumed between this new stopping station and Peck slip will be twenty minutes and certain time, while the horse cars at present require one hour and fifteen: minutes, and sometimes two or three hours, as the: driver may elect and obstructions detain, . THE NORTHERN BOULEVARD, ‘ extending from 155th street to the intersection of Kingsbridge and Inwood street, which, when com- pigieds promises to become one of the most de- jightiul drives, has received a great deal of atten- tion at our hands from the time the Commission- ers were appointed until the present date. Tne labor of these energetic gentlemen 1s now nearly completed, the maps of the property aifected thereby, as prepared by Geiferal Charles K, Gra- ham, the surveyor and engineer, almost finished, and’ the Commissioners are about ready to submit. their report to the Supreme Court for conticmation,. when the Park Commissioners pags a resolution looking towards the stopping of further operations: on streets and improvements above Central Park. ‘This action of the Central Park Commissioners has roused the property-owners on the line of this new boulevard ‘to the sense of their rights, and, fearing that the much-needed project might pessi- bly fail, they have prepared the following remon- trance directed to the Commissioners of fprte arks, eo A ik ner of Public Works and Mr. BE: Delafled Smith, Corporation Counsel.

The farmers about Little Neck begin to show some earnestness in desiring the clearing up of the mystery of the murder of Graham, and the sub scriptions to the reward for the discovery of the guilty persons are swelling every day. The excite- ment continues to increase, and it is very probable that were the real criminals captured there would immediately be manifested a strong desire to lynch them, which it might prove impossible to resist, The Supervisors of the county, however, when they held their formal session, seeim to lave re- pented of their former determination, and with the excuse of economy concluded to oifer a reward of $500 instead of $1,000, Supervisor Roe fought well for the more liberal appropriation, but the frugal minds of his colleagues could not be cone vinced., The slow parsimony already exhibited by this Board has doubtless retarded ina great degr any strequous efforis to solve the mystery, and it Wilt not be the fault of its members if the murderers are arrested, a9 it ie haned thee will be, in a lew. daya.
