The Great Rival Railway Interests in the West and Northwest, A Decline in Erie in London and a Fail in French Rentes in Paris. WALL STREE’ TUESDAY, March 15—6 P. M. On ’Change to-day cotton on the spot was only moderately sought after, with former figures ruling. Futures were active and advanced %c. a X%c. per lb, Flour remained dull. Wheat was nominal and corn about steady. THE EXPORTS OF THE WEEK. ‘The total exports of domestic merchandise from the port of New York for the week ending March 18, 1873, were of the currency value of $4,068,213; THE FOREIGN MARKET. The London quotations show continued steadi- ness in consols. The market for United States bonds has been excessively dull for several days, and priees have remained unchanged, excepting for the ten-forties, which came % lower. Erie Shares were weak and declined to 52:4. The new French loan was steady, but rentes in Paris under- went @ considerable fall to 55.35, possibly tn con- sequence ef the convention with Prassta to pay off ‘me whole of the war indemnity by September next, MONEY MORE ACTIVE. Moneyworked moderately easy most of the day at an average of pretty nearly the familiar 1-32, the rate ranging from 7 per cent coin (with exceptions at7 percent currency) to 1-32 and interest. But in the half hour beiore the closing of the banks a sharp demand set in which sent the ratesup to 1-16 | and interest, the dealings being continued on the sidewalk for some time subsequent to three o'clock. In explanation it was said that tae Fourth National Bank and the Bank of Commerce had called in be- tween one and two millions of dollars for REASONS NOT SPECIFIED, At first it was conjectured that the mency might have been called in by the Treasury Department, as the two banks named are special government depositories, but it happens that they have no funds to the credit of the government at present. From Washington we learn that Judge Richardson has been using tke extra green- backs again, the amount outstanding yester- fay baving been $1,455,000, and = to-day $1,278,000, against $1,155,000 on Saturday evening. Poreign exchange was nominally unchanged, at 10854 a 109 for prime sixty days and sight sterling; Dut the advance in gold and the stringency in money weakened tie market, and actuai transac- Wlons were reported at a concession of 3-16 ay per cent from these rates. GOLD UNSETTLED—115}g a 115%) a 115. ‘The gold market was unsettled and in the main jower. Before the activity in money a further ad- vance te 115% was made, the market being strengthened by the smaller return of exports (as given in a preeeding paragraph) and considerable severing of speculative sales. With tne actual weakness in foreign exchange the market became aeavy, and the recurrence of dear terms for the carrying of gold ied to an eventful decline to 115%. The course of the market is shown in the table :— 115% 1:32 P.M. Im the gold loan market the rates ranged from 8 per cent per annum to 1-32 a day for carrying. fhe operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows :— Gold cleared. + $43,854,000 Gold balance 1,118,023. Ourrency bala 1,352,200 The Sub-Treasury paid out $66,300 on account of (nterest and $1,700 on account of redeemed five- twenties, GOVERNMENTS STRONG. The government list was strong, contrary to | q@hat might have been expected of the lower rul- ing of gold at the close, and prices advanced quite amartly, the '67s selling at 116% and the currency sixes being held at 114. The market was fairly ac- tive, the demand being stimulated by the adver- tisement of the government to buy a million of Qve-twenties to-morrow, and by orders from the Bastern cities, in connection, it is said, with the appreach of April 1, when local taxes are imposed im many of the Eastern States on all personal property except government bonds, into which capitausts are, therefore, anxious to convert their wealth meantime, and thus AVOID TAXATION. The demand 1s alsoghe forerunner of easier money in the rural districts.

SOUTHERN SECURITIES DULL. The Southern State bonds were dull ana neg- lected, outside the ‘Tennessees, which were offered freely at 86, but were steady at 8544 @ 86. The new South Carolinas were offered at 18. The following were the closing quota- tions:—Tennessee, ex coupon, 85% @ 86; do., new, 85)¢ a 86; Virginia, ex coupon, 46 a 50; do., registered stock, old, 37 @ 40; do, sixes, con- solidated bonds, 5614 a 57; do, do., deferred scrip, 14a 15; Georgia sixes, 70 a 80; do. sevens, 87 a 90; North Carolina, ex coupon, 30 a 32; do, to North Carolina Railroad, 60 a 61; do. funding, 1866, 20a 25; do. do., 1868, 18a 22; do., new, 17a 18; do., special tax, 13a 15; Louisiana sixes, 45 50; Ala- bama fives, 57 a 60; do. eigtts, 80 a $5; South Caro- lina sixes, 30a 40; do., new, January and July, 17 18; do, do., April and October, 18 9 22; Atkansas sixes, funded, 40 a 43, STOCKS DULL AND STRONG, The stock market was indubitably dull, the lack of animation being an utter puzzle to the specu- lative classes of the street. At the same time a firmer feeling prevatied, and until the occurrence of the spasm in money noted as happening just before the close of banking hours, prices were dis- posed to advance, and in most instances did un- dergo more or less improvement, Pacific Mail, York Central, Lake Shore, St. Paul and Union Pacific rising % 14 per cent. In other cases the advaneée was enly nominal, The market resisted the influence of DEARER MONEY quite stubbornly, and parted only reluctantly with any of the advance in prices, *Erie was exception- ally lower, in sympathy with the London market, the decline in which was probably in turn the re, sult of advices by cable concerning the investiga- tion at Albany. St, Paul rose to 5734, and “acts as if’ a “bull party were manipulating it, Im con- firmation of this hypothesis we get word from our correspondent in Madison, Wis, that the State Legislature has just awarded to the St. Paul Com- pany the famous St, Croix land grant of 1,280,000 acres, Valued, In cash, at all the way from six to ten millions of dollars, the legislatien' having been secured under circumstances indicating A TEMPORARY ALLIANCE if not an eventual consolidation with the North- western read, the alliance having been promoted by the Lake Shore party to head off the Pennsyl- vania railroad interest. An active demand for Terre Haute (St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute), with sales at 25, was referred to a further west- ward extension of the Atlantic and Great Western movement, the Terre Haute road being a coatinu- ation of the C., C., C. and I. road to St. Louis, but sub-leased at present to the Pennsylvania Rail- road. These leases, however, are beginning to be regarded as not binding, in view of a recent judicial opinion that a corporation chartered by a State cannot transfer its rights to a forelgn cor- poration, a8 weuld be a railroad company in another State. A decision in the Boston, Hartford | and Erie litigation is promised in the morning. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

THE WALL STREET FORGERIES. ee The Culpability Resting Entirely on Austin—His Whereabouts Still Une known. Wall street, which is always so sensitive to any mevement, excitement or diversion beyond the regular routine of stock transactions, had settied down yesterday from the slight ferment experi- enced on Monday in consequence of the discovery of forgeries on certain railroad certificates emanat- ing from the establishment of Oddie & Austin, of 11 Broad street. Mr. Oddie, the senior member of the firm, who had been away on a duck-shooting excursion and whose return was neted in the HERALD of yesterday, repaired to his oitice early yesterday morning. He feund everything in con- tusion—the sale open and papers scattered about, showing that Austin had decamped. Among the papers Mr. Oddie found a httle slip on which were written memoranda such as:—“Don’t borrow of Unien Trust Company.” Others referred to vari- ous firms and banking institutions where the em- ployee were accustomed to handling the certificates of Wabash and Fort Wayne, showing conclusively that Austin had acted with guilty intent ENA as out, and had made the memoranda as guide: for bimseit lest he might at any time attempt .to operate with the worthless | stuff at any of those places. Who was connected with him, if anybody, in his transactions does not eae but it is just to say that Mr. Oddie is en- tirely exonerated from any participation in the guilt, He has asked tor time, and his crediters seem inclined to deal be a with him. The sympathy of the entire “street” Is with him, and, as yet, no action tending toward the suspension of the drm has been taken by the Board of Brokers. ‘The indeDtedness of the Orm resalting from Austin's transactions, it appears, will be sbout as follows :— Continental Bank, $20,000; J. B, Murray, $11,000, and R, C, Bostwick, $750—making a total of $31,750. BEAL ESTATE MATTERS. There seems to be some stagnation in business, caused, no doubt, by the St. Patrick's Day festival, as very few sales have been reported thus far.

BOWLES BROTHERS IN COURT, Boston, Mass., March 18, 1873. ‘The adjourned meeting of the creditors of Nathan Appleton was held at the United states Court House this morning, before 8. Lothrop Thorndike, Register, for the purpose of allowing the creditors of Bowles Brothers & Co. to offer their claims against the estate of Mr. Appleton. J. C. C.

Interesting Question in Bankruptcy= Proceedings for Contempt—Dec ision of the Court. In the matter of Wolfgang Leschner, a bankrupt, in the United States* District Court, before Judga Blatchford.—On the 26th of June, 1871, the bank- rupw’s stock was sold out under execution in favor of one Isidor Krause. The amount of the sale, $3,746, was paid over on the same day to tha plaintif?s attorney in the suit, who also, on tha same afternoon, paid the money over to Mr. Krause. The transaction was all in bills, The next day a Petition in bankruptcy was filed against Leschner, upon which he Was subsequently adjudi- cated @ bankrupt. An injunction order from the United States District Court, enjoining, Krause from parting with any property of the debtor, Was served on Mr. Krause July 1, 1871. A bill in equity was afterward brought py the as- signee in bankruptcy to set aside Krause’s execn- tion and sale as fraudulent and void under the act, in which a jadgment was recovered against Krause for $4,540 emuages On execution being issued it appeared that Mr, Krause was an insolvent, and that the judgment could not be collected of him, and also on examination it further appeared that he ye insolvent at the time he obtamed his judg- ment, . ‘The assignee thereupon ayed. petition in tha United States District Court, pray! ng that Isidor Krause be punished tor contempt in having parted with the money obtained by him on the execution against the bankrupt’s property, the money, it being contended, was property of the bankrupti The Court referred the matter for evidence as to the facts whether Mr. Krause had this money at, the time of the service of the injunction before re- ferred to. Upon the coming in of the report the Court adjudged Krause guilty of contempt of Court and ordered him to be committed in close custody without bail until he pay the assignee the said sum of $3,746 40 and interest and cosis, SALARY OF A COURT OFFICER. The Comptroller Shirking Payment, and Why—A Judge Who Thinks It Toa Thin. Among the officers attached to the various State Courts there appears to be a good deal of trouble in the matter of getting their salaries, James Doyle, an officer of the Superior Court, has teen striving, through the medium of the Courts, fox some time past, to get his pay from May 1, 1872, te June 11, 1872, The dificulty is that the Comp. troller, as appears, claims that between the dated named there were no officers of the Court. 4 peremptory mandamus against the Comptroller was applied for by Mr, Franklin Bartlett on behalf of Colonel James Doyle, and Judge Davis, to whom the application was made, yesterday gave hid decision, Owing to the multiplicity of officers in the same boat, we give below the conclusion of the opinion :— OPINION OF JUDGE DAVIS, The relator was appointed an officer and at. tendant oi the Buperier Court by Comptroller Con- holly, under the provisions of seetion 9 of chapter 382 of the Laws of 1870. He was not removed by Comp- trolier Green on his accession to office, but was re- tained and paid as such officer down to May 1, 1872. On the 29th of April, 1872, the Legislature conterred the power of appointment of such offers for their Courts upon the Judges of the Superior Court, The act veok effect immediately, but the Judges of the ee, Court did not make the appointment under it until the 11th day of June following, at which time they appointed the relator. In the in- terval between the Ist of May and the 11th day of June the relator continued to discharge the duties of the office, The sole eee in controversy is whether he is entitled to his salary during that riod. Ihave no doubt that he lawfully remained In the office under the Comptroiler’s appoiutment until the Judges exercised the power of appoint- ment vested in them. They made him his own successor by their appointment of the 11th of June, 1872, and thenceforward he was an officer by virtue of their appointment. But if to that time he was nN Officer both de facto and de jure by virtue of hia former appointment, there is nothing in the act of April, 1872, which operates to terminate the exist- ing office, or impair its 1unctions or remove the ine cumbent. It transfers the power of appointment from one officer to another body of officers, but the omission of the latter to use their authority cannot be construed into a re- moval of the existing officers, apd new appointment by the Judges of another person to the same office would have that effect; but no such consequence can be held to flow from mera delay. In the meantime, and oped such delay. the recognition of the oiicer by the Judges in the discharge of his duties should be construed as am appointment rather than a disappointment. It ig against the policy of the law that officers deemed by the Legislature of sufficient importance to the public to be provided ior bywtatute, should become sVacant by mere construction. ‘The case I think is within the spirit of the general statute enacted to guard against the happening of vaeancies in office. (1 R. 8., Edmunds’ ed., p. 107.) 1 think the relator is clearly entitled to his pay for the intrim be- tween the 1st of May andthe 11th of June, 1872 BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. SUPREME COURT—TRIAL TERH—PART 2. Sina Fh George Jones’ Libel Suit Against the New York Times. Before Judge Van@runt. George Jones has brought suit in this Court to recov& $75,000 damages for an alleged libel pub- lished inthe New York Times, The alleged libet has reierence to @ published account of the pro- ceedings of the Court of General Sessions in Janu- ary, 1871, before Judge Bedford, The case came on for trial yesterday, and in the expectation thas the proceedings would prove of spicy character— an expectation that was by no means disa pointed—the court room was densely crowded. In the first place there was @ good deat of merriment owing to the queer cate- chism which Mr, Jones submitted | the candidates jor the jury box. The cream of tha day's merriment, however, was in his ‘‘o) ening.’ It Was as good as a play. ‘The only really gravo feature of the day’s proceedings was a motion by the defendant’s counsel to dismiss the complaint. With a view to give this motion proper judicial consideration the Court adjourned over till this morning. GOURT OF OYER AND TERMINER, Barker, the Alicged Boy Murderer, To Be Tried To-Day—Nixon’s Trial Sct Down for Monday. The Coart of Oyer and Terminer, Judge Brady om the bench, had a very brier session yesterday. Alter the calling of the jury witnesses were called in the case of Robert Nixon, indicted for the murder of Christian Phyfer. Mr. William F. Howe, counsel for Nixon, asked a postponement of the trial till next Monday, stati that he was unable to proceed owing to his being engaged in the coming General Session tn defence of Heggi. He did not believe the latter case would occupy more than the present week, and he promised to be ready on Monday next. On the District Attorney sigmifying his assent to this arrangement the case was accordingly put dowm r next Monday. Next was called the case of William W, Barke: boy feurteen years old, indicted for the murder of w playmate named D, V. Shaifer, on Sixth avenue. r. McDougall, his counsel, said he was uot ready togo om yet, but Judge Brady said he must be ready to-day, and ordered the trial to be set down peremptorily for this morning, to which time, there, being no other business, the Court adjourned.
